The trend of slightly lower losses for #Russia continued yesterday. The data released by #Kyiv today show 430 more dead invaders and 5 more drones, but nothing especially noteworthy in the figures.
Tomorrow may be slightly higher after a number of hits reported on Russian bases.
Britain's daily update highlights a dilemma facing #Russia, while also confirming the hurried extra defensive actions taken to protect the northern "border" of occupied #Zaporizhzhia.
It's a morning of cleaning up in many parts of #Ukraine after the attacks in many regions by #Russia's illegal invading forces.
In #Zaporizhzhia casualties and damage are still being "quantified" after local officials report the use of cluster munitions on the city's outskirts.
But one of the suspected hits on #Russia's forces also came in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.
At the Hydromash plant in #Melitopol' the sounds of explosions and the roar of the fire was heard for "several hours" by locals.
Smoke is still visible this morning.
Following the incendiary munitions used on #Kherson (video in yesterday's thread), locals have been collecting evidence from the streets of the city which was liberated just under 2 months ago.
Last night I also reported on a fire at a transformer substation in #Kursk region. Some doubted the photo evidence of the strike inside #Russia, so now here's a video.
It's from #Mokva about 100 miles/160km from the border with #Ukraine.
This explosion in the southern state of #Dagestan injured 5 people.
Although many here want independence, and #Russia brutally put down a 1999 uprising, this does seem likely to be a gas explosion as local officials report.
Fire ravaged the "Double Joy" cafe in the town of #Nyagan in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug.
No reason to think this is suspicious.
More now from #Russia's use of incendiary weapons in #Kherson last night.
This video is conclusive evidence that another war crime was committed. The fact the person filming just slides open the window in their flat shows civilian areas were targeted.
#Ukraine's air defence says it has shot down another Russian helicopter today.
They don't say where the downing of the Ka-52 happened, but the "central" team was mentioned.
Earlier the "east" command downed one of #Russia's reconnaissance drones over #Dnipropetrovsk region.
In #Kyiv people came to remember those killed when #Iran shot down a Ukraine Airlines passenger jet exactly two years ago.
176 people on board when the terrible accident occurred.
More scorn poured on the Kremlin's lies...
As I wrote earlier, #Russia pretended it had killed 600 #Ukraine soldiers in #Kramatorsk.
There were no reports of sirens or panic last night on chat sites, and journalists at the scene refute Russia's claims.
It's reported that #Russia shot dead 6 of its soldiers who were going to surrender in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.
#Ukrine's General Staff reports the incident, which it says happened 3 days ago near Chistopilla.
The Occupiers deployed Russian Guard units to "maintain discipline"
Yet another strike by #Ukraine's military on a collection of #Russia's troops.
They tried to hush it up, but RU propagandist Anatoliy Shariy confirms around 100 more new forcibly mobilised were liquidated in #Lantrativka in #Luhansk region, just 3km from the Russian border.
Plus ca change!
"They still do not value human life in the same way we do"
The words of Maggie Thatcher talking about #Putin 21 years ago
If you know anyone in the Occupied zone, particularly in #Zaporizhzhia (RU: #Zaporozhe) please forward them this picture. It is a fake message, a war-time "catfish" attempt to snare members of #Ukraine's Resistance.
You've found the start of the daily thread - here every single day. All news is fact-checked, without hyperbole but with context. My aim is to help you know what's really going on in #Ukraine so you can be informed to tell others
Let's go
It's been a difficult morning for #Ukraine with #Russia launching missile attacks already, after drones earlier in the night.
But the traditional way to start is to give you the chance to review yesterday's news, inc more gains in #Kursk and 🇷🇺burning!
Hello & welcome to Day 908 of #Russia's disgusting, and now disastrous, all-out war on #Ukraine.
Throughout history the independence, strength and rebellious nature of Ukrainians has caused problems for imperialist rulers and dictators.
History is biting Putin on the bum again!
This is THE daily thread, the only one you need for all the major news about #Ukraine's fight for freedom and its very existence.
Sunday was quiet, but still plenty to get your teeth into. Click here if you were offline some of the day & need a catch-up:
A new week, and coming to the end of the first week of #Ukraine's decision to take the war directly into #Russia's territory, more than 10 years after Putin invaded sovereign🇺🇦land.
It's Day 901 of the all-out war. All the news, all the time, in one handy thread. Read-on!
We start again with a look back to yesterday.
Lots of news once again. Not least from #Kursk region, but please remember #Ukraine has a media silence from there. Some battalions post selfies, but mostly it's only #Russia and locals uploading photos.
I want to revisit what happened at the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
I've now read and spoken to a few who know more than me about the plant. Everyone agrees it's a cooling tower, with nothing to burn there.
So it's almost certain #Russia burned something as a provocation.
