Day 299 of #Russia's illegal war.
A slightly later start than usual - I had my first lie-in for weeks!

The day in #Ukraine started with more attacks.
All the details in one thread right here⬇️

All the details of the attacks on #Kyiv and elsewhere coming up as #Ukraine's air defences were tested to the full once again

But first the regular link (esp important with some followers unable to see my tweets easily) to the previous day's news thread:

Many in #Kyiv were woken by loud explosions this morning, especially two blasts in the central area of #Ukraine's capital.

Mayor @Vitaliy_Klychko reports 15 of #Iran's Shaheed killer drones were shot down. But one did hit more critical infrastructure. Two injuries reported.
Today's strikes by #Putin are even more heartless as it's St Nicholas' Day. In view of New Year celebrations being largely a Soviet/Moscow doctrine, more and more families in #Ukraine focus on 19 December as the day for children to receive most presents. Instead they got this:
While #Russia's attack this morning was largely centred on central #Kyiv, there were other drones too.

All told, 30 out of 35 of the #Iran-made murder-missiles fired at #Ukraine were shot down.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
One brave or foolhardy person was filming on their mobile when the first kamikaze drone struck central #Kyiv.

The #Shevchenkivskyi and #Solomianskyi districts of the #Ukraine capital were hit today.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
Now to the daily losses for #Russia and again more than 500 lives sacrificed for the Fuhrer of Moskva.

Probably Thursday when we reach 100k.

Only 8 drones (UAVs) in today's data - the ones shot down today will be shown tomorrow.

#SlavaUkraini
The daily British intelligence update underlines just how brutal and unscrupulous #Russia is. Quite simply lives do not matter - people can be replaced with more mobilisation. Replacing armed vehicles and tanks is much more difficult. Yet still the brainwashed fight for Putin.
The photos show yet another ruined Russian helicopter.

For the second time in 3 days a Mi-8 was destroyed in a crash landing in #Russia. It happened today in the Siberian region of #Magadan, 8 time zones east of Moscow.

Just one of the three on board was injured.
#StopRussia
Police in #Kyiv have released more photos following the drone attack on the capital this morning.

Andrii Nebytov, police chief for the capital region, says 9 houses were damaged as well as critical infrastructure. 3 people were injured.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
1/2

Not quite #RussiaOnFire but another minor catastrophe near #Moscow

12 people needed treatment when scaffolding collapsed in #rasnoznamensk. No reason was given for the accident, but several workers are said to be seriously injured....
2/2

Worse was to follow for the injured after the scaffold collapse near #Moscow.

#Russia's ambulances couldn't get to the seriously ill victims because of the snow (no sniggering please!)

#StopRussia
Animals and idiots.

Any decent people in #Russia need to stand up and be counted against the attempted genocide.

I think it's the 5th time today, but the air alarm is sounding again in #Kyiv and indeed most of #Ukraine right now.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
#Putin is currently flying to #Belarus. This is the likely reason for the raising of #Russia's aircraft, with both fighters and bombers currently active.

These craft are the reason for the air raid warnings over most of #Ukraine.
Some #Ukraine media reporting that the election campaign is underway.

It's seen that #Lviv businessman Heorhiy Kozlovsky has started an advertising campaign on Facebook seemingly designed to unseat Zelenskyy.

His motto "We're moving towards victory"
In #Russia they still happily feed their sons and partners to the meat grinder the war in #Ukraine has become.

This is in #Saratov an ordinary city in #Putin's Terrorist State. The monument on the "Alley of Heroes" is already full of victims' names, with others still "missing"
For the third time, #Russia has hit the local government building in #Kherson.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
In #Belgorod the local government releases photos of the shelling last night of the village of Krasnaya Yaruga.

Of course they blame #Ukraine. Today Ukraine's military admitted they have conducted operations inside #Russia, but always on pure-military targets.
#Kherson has been hit again.

There's a big fire in the city now after the latest attack by #Russia.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
A couple of days ago I showed the Christmas Tree (Yalynka) being erected and lights tested in the centre of #Kyiv.

This afternoon was the big switch on. Yellow and Blue the new colours of Christmas!
I'll continue the Christmas decorations theme for a couple more tweets...

First to #Kharkiv where the city's traditional yalynka is this year going underground! Quite a display in the metro station 'University'

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Most surprising of all is to see the colours chosen by the #Kerch authorities on occupied #Crimea.

Very patriotic display - but I'm pretty sure #Moscow will be furious!

#CrimeaIsUkraine #StandWithUkraine
Big blast has hit central #Donetsk this evening.

The occupied city is covered in smoke.

#RussiansGoHome
Here's an incredible photo from occupied #Donetsk a couple of minutes after the blast in the centre.

#StandWithUkraine
CCTV of strikes in the Kalininskyi district of #Donetsk, one channel reports the same hospital has been hit as yesterday

Don't let the fog of war sway you to #Russia's words. Remember they occupy this city illegally, #Ukraine has never been proven to fire on non-military targets
#Russia's occupiers seem to have realised their repeated stories about grads hitting #Donetsk have been rumbled (#Ukraine's army is not close enough)

Tonight propaganda outfit RIA says 15 MLRS rockets hit the hospital and surrounding district.

#DonetskIsUkraine #SaveUkraine
#Ukraine Resistance or Army may have struck another blow right on the border with #Crimea.

This is near the checkpoint in #Chonhar.
The person taking the video says a car was blown up. He doesn't want to go to Crimea anymore!

#StopRussia
Direct hit reported on another of #Russia's bases in #Melitopol'

Reports still coming in, but seems this happened in the microdistrict, just north of the centre.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia #ZaporizhzhiaOblast
Real problems for people in #Kyiv since the morning drone strikes.

Just one in five people has power and to make matters worse many have lost internet too even with fully charged devices and power banks they're still cut off.
I recently wrote about a controversial new planning law proposed by #Zelenskyy's "Servant of the People" party.

Today one MP, Halyna Yanchenko has resigned from the party after parliamentary leader Olena Shulyak visited a war hero in hospital when he criticised her bill.

A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.

With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.

Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv Image

Welcome to another daily thread - THE place for honest assessment and analysis of all the news around Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1214 of the full-scale war. I still have an unblemished record - every single day.

Why not show your support with a ☕️?

Russia displayed outright Nazism + Fascism on Friday.

From killing in Ukraine, more utterings from the war-criminal in chief, to locking up young women and taking legal action against small independent new sites.

8 missiles and 272 drones were fired at Ukraine overnight.

ALL Russian missiles were trained on Kremenchuk, but Ukraine claims NONE reached their targets, including 2 x Kindzhals (5 shot, 3 EW)

In addition 252 UAVs were stopped (93%)
140 being shot down, 112 stopped with EW. Image

Thursday 19 June is Day 1212 of the conflict in Europe.

Russia continues to make ground, expending its soldiers at will for a few more metres as Ukraine fights for its existence having been shamefully let down by the USA.

I'm here every single day, so here's today's daily 🧵
Wednesday saw the death toll in Kyiv rise throughout the day, ending at double the number it started at. Then later Putin cynically told journalists they only hit military targets

Elsewhere another traitor to Ukraine met his fate - click here to catch-up
Another milestone is reached.

Trump is now 150 days late in promising "peace within 24 hours" of taking office.

It's also, as @andrii_sybiha points out, 100 days since🇺🇦 agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, as tRUmp demanded.
Russia did what it always does: delay, lie, kill. Image

Tuesday 17 June 2025.

No time to waste. Kyiv is under the most immense attack.

It's Day 1210 of Russia's increasingly desperate attempt to eviscerate Ukraine and all Ukrainians.

Here's the daily thread, continuing to document the night attacks...
Just gone 04:35 in Kyiv.
A hellish night is not yet over.
Apartment blocks, student dormitories hit.
6 districts of Kyiv city damaged, plus other injuries in the wider region

Here's the link for Monday's thread with all the last half showing the chaos:
If you're just waking up, here's an idea of what's happened to Kyiv while you were sleeping.

Ukraine's capital has not slept.
Many are without homes due to Russia's ongoing war crimes and one person, an American, has lost his life during the attack. Image

Hello again. Day 1203 of Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine

Anyone with a brain slightly larger than that of a chihuahua knows it. Russian history and Putin's own words spelt it out, but peaceniks, Naziniks and idiotniks are still in denial

More proof coming up in🧵for Day 1203
Yesterday's thread lasted well over 24 hours, but nothing to be proud of.

I know I'm crazier than you, and thankfully you all have lives to live. So you will be needing the link to the start of yesterday's thread so you can catch up on what you missed..

Genocide - a short thread within a🧵
I am simply staggered governments and world organisations are too weak to acknowledge the mountain of evidence.

The recent huge missile attacks should be enough, but useful idiots are fooled by Russia's plausible deniability.

A very early start to my daily thread on Day 1202 of Russia's 3 day 'special operation' to capture Kyiv.

It's so special Putin just doesn't want it to stop!

It's another no-sleep night as I start Monday's news feed on all things Ukraine.

Thanks for your support, I rely on you
Another huge Russian attack continues as I type. It could be the biggest yet.

The attack started about half way through yesterday's thread! So catch up here if you're just waking up.

The biggest problem in Ukraine tonight has been for Dubno, in Rivne region.

Heavily attacked in the evening, but now as light bathes the town, it's even worse. All cruise missiles in Ukraine are about to hit, and 3 drones too.
