It's Tuesday and it's Day 314 of #Russia's illegal invasion of #Ukraine.
They planned to take #Kyiv in 3-4 days, have a new President and control the entire country in 10 days. How's that going Mr Putin?
Here, all the news in one place, updated throughout the day.

Lots of activity yesterday as #Russia was careless again and again.
If you enjoy reading about Russian losses and stupidity, you will probably enjoy clicking and scrolling through yesterday's thread right here:

I've had no direct update from eastern front, but gathering intel from various most reliable sources, it appears #Russia gained a little ground on the outskirts of #Soledar + #Bakhmut also, but have failed to get to the residential area which they briefly managed a while ago.
Yesterday I wrote about locals in #Voronezh getting worried amid explosions near the military airfield - finally #Russia was forced to admit some "activity" but passed it off as air defence hitting one "small drone"
There were similar scenes tonight in the city:

This is being reported by a #Ukraine official, but personally I doubt its authenticity.
Claims of 5,000 mobilisation forms being printed urgently in #Krasnodar region of #Russia.
Names and dates are supposedly left off to fill in as and when needed for quicker turnaround.

Last night I reported on the possible drone attack on #Russia's bases in #Crimea.
Always difficult to know the truth from occupied areas, but cannot see any indications in chat sites of genuine landings or damage.
Head of #Sevastopol says two drones were shot down over the sea.

Another big reported strike on Russia's positions came in #Luhansk region, in the town of #Svatove.
I cannot trace the origin of this photo, which is said to be from the scene. I found it via TG channel Ukraine_365News, but cannot verify it yet.

Air raid alerts sound in some southern and eastern regions of #Ukraine.
The fall out continues after the massive strike on the newly mobilised Russians in #Makiivka.
#Samara Gov Dmitry Azarov admits what I already wrote, that they were from his region.
“Our compatriots were also under attack by enemy forces. There are wounded, alas, there are dead."

Meanwhile #Russia and its puppet "DPR" are on the verge of falling out over the loss of hundreds of new soldiers in the hit on #Makiivka.
Donetsk "officials" blaming Russians for leaving their phones on. Claims were made on Russian TV channels, angering Moscow.

As I suspected, the daily losses keep rising for #Russia
A mammoth 750 more killed in battle for #Putin's needless war.
Already we are approaching 110,000 deaths.

#Russia's Defence force says the filming company "s'yemka s vozdukha" (Filming from the Air) is now supplying them with drones for the war.
The small UAVs can slo be equipped with thermal imaging cameras and the ability to drop grenades.

Following the devastating missile strike on the ice rink in #Druzhivka, the wall may have fallen, but the flag of Ukraine remained.

It goes without saying that #Russia continues to hit #Kherson. 79 times the region was shelled.
2 people died in the attacks and another 9 residents were wounded in the attacks.
Here, just some of the damage caused to one of the apartment blocks.

Translation of a post on social media in #Russia.
Somehow I have no sympathy. They seem surprised their husbands and sons are treated like cattle.
This was posted 11 days ago. Mr Katalikov may already be dead.

On #Crimea the Occupiers write about successes for #Russia's air defences. But some locals in #Dzhankoy and #Yevpatoria write about explosions.

A cautionary note about this story from #Ukraine's Southern Command spokesperson.
I was careful not to say "liberation" and Nataliia Humenyuk says it's too early to use the word when talking about Greater Potemkin island in #Kherson region.

Humenyuk says "Establishing the flag is a signal to the enemy that the land is ours"
#Russia's bloggers claim #Ukraine's soldiers nip across the water to take selfies with a flag and head back. But if #Russia still controlled the barren land they'd soon shoot up enemy craft

In Novy Oskol, near the border with #Ukraine, heavy smoke is rising and on a #Belgorod chat site some say it's a military facility, but they could easily be mischievous Ukrainians.
There does seem to have been some sort of explosion. Awaiting further news...

Here's a video today of the destroyed ice rink and arena in #Donetsk region, attacked by #Russia last night.
No weapons, ammunition or army. This was a working arena in #Druzhivka where the Donbas hockey team trained; classes were still held for players and figure skaters alike.

Another big blow for #Russia and perhaps another piece in the jigsaw which leads to widespread street protests from mothers.
This is occupied #Tokmak in #Zaporozhzhia. This building housed another large contingent of newly mobilised ("mobchiks") according to partisan locals.

There really is not a lot going on in #Ukraine. Many news sites trying to fill with stories which are speculation or not important. Just wanted you to know you're not missing anything!

#Russia quietly announces that among the dead in the #Makiivka (RU: #Makeevka) was Deputy Commander of the Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Bachurin.
They now admit the death toll has risen from 63 to 89.
In reality it is way higher.

A tragicomedy! #Russia pretends it immediately returned fire on the MLRS which hit #Makiivka, destroying the rocket launcher.
Moscow also claims they killed 200+ #Ukraine troops "and foreign mercenaries" by destroying the ice rink in #Druzhivka and hitting a nearby train station

In #Kherson once again #Russia has resorted to using incendiary munitions tonight.
These are thermite, spontaneously igniting in the air. Temperatures can reach 3000 degrees Celcius and cause widespread fires and damage.
Not restricting use to military targets is a war crime.
