You've found the start of the daily thread with all Sunday's news and views around the war in #Ukraine

It's Day 319 of #Russia's full invasion.
A lively end to yesterday. Catch up by scrolling through here:

If you want to buy me a coffee see my bio, thx

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.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
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.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
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.

#StopRussia

#Kherson is under attack again this morning.
Refrigerated trains are arriving in #Russia full of bodies of dead soldiers.

This is the claim from #Ukraine's Defence Staff, reported here by Ukrainskyi Pravda, which reports on the journey from Rostov to Kemerovo.

pravda.com.ua/news/2023/01/8…
Update on this story from a couple of days ago.
#Ukraine's army has confirmed it hit the dormitory of a medical university in occupied #Rubizhne.

#Russia had been using the building to house newly arrived forcibly mobilised recruits. 14 body bags counted

#Ukraine's Governor of #Luhansk region has told the TV news broadcast of the war that #Russia "is sinking little by little."

Heavy fighting continues around #Kreminna where RU moved several battalions and heavy equipment to try to halt Ukrainian gains in Luhansk.

#StopRussia
#Kramatorsk - last night I wrote about locals describing 8 missiles landing in the #Donetsk town.

That's now verified by the Mayor, Oleksandr Honcharenko who released these photos.

He says 2 educational institutions and 8 apartment blocks were damaged, but no civilian injuries.
After #Ukraine held a Christmas Service in Ukrainian in #Kyiv's Lavra for first time, the reaction of Moscow's Patriarch Kirill is hate-filled.

"They are carrying out an evil, diabolical will, destroying Orthodoxy on Kievan soil."
He said Ukraine govt + church will "soon change"
#Russia now claims this explosion at a gas pipeline in the occupied #Luhansk region of #Ukraine, is sabotage.

A local official suggests "sleeper cells of the Ukraine's Army attracted local residents" for the attack.

#RussiaOnFire

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.
#RussiaOnFire

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.

#RussianWarCrimes
In occupied #Donetsk, there is a fire at a metallurgical factory. I don't know if there were explosions previously.

#StopRussia
Not the most tuneful, but these guys sing their national anthem with immense passion - the feeling of freedom.

33 officers and 17 other members of #Ukraine's Forces have been released from Russian jails after another prisoner exchange.
#Russia has mined an area of #Ukraine that's bigger than the entire United Kingdom.

PM @Denys_Shmyhal told a South Korean news agency that Russia has created the largest minefield in the world.

m-en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN202301…
More explosions in #Melitopol'

This is again at, or very near, the Hydromash factory where there were blasts and a fire most of the night (see earlier in the thread)

#Zaporizhzhia #Zaporozhe #StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
#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.
#Russia's daily briefing earlier said they killed 600 #Ukraine soldiers in the attack on #Kramatorsk.

The MoD in Kyiv has strongly denied the claims.

It seems Russia simply picked a number slightly higher than its losses in #Makiivka, especially as it said it was retribution.
#Ukraine's Defence Minister says there are six types of war crimes which included children, and #Russia has committed them all.

One of the more bizarre is this:

#RussiaIsATerrorristState

In #Kherson region, a rocket has hit the roof of a shop in #Oleshky on the left bank.

#StandWithUkraine
In #Donetsk, Calendar Man is out again to record the damage of shelling. This time the #Starobeshevskaya Thermal Power Plant was hit.

This is 25km south of Donetsk city and just 40km from the border with #Russia.

#RussiansGoHome
Another video postcard from the war zone now.

This is the Pivdennodonbaska-1 coal mine just a couple of kilometres from #Vuhledar (RU: #Ugledar) in #Donetsk region.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
Seen in #Japan.
#WarCriminalPutin in three languages

#RussiaIsATerroristState

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

#RussiaIsATerroristState
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.
#RussiaOnFire

In #Barnaul, some 3,300km from #Moscow, this fire is said to be next to the the local FSB Headquarters.

This is not yet confirmed - city officials and emergency services have made no statement, which in itself is unusual.

Day 1560 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and this morning Russia's predicted massive attack has arrived.

Multiple civilians have been murdered and the number is growing.
As I always say, this happens because we in the west have been too weak to stop it.

Here's the daily🧵
There was a lot of destruction yesterday too, though Ukraine stuck to hitting military logistics and fuel targets.

It's caused continuing near-panic for invading Russians, and results can be seen at gas stations.
Catch-up here:

 This morning, not just Kyiv badly attacked.
In fact, at the moment, more people are known to have died in Dnipro then the capital and that's where I'll start.

5 killed and 25 injured there plus 3 more wounded in Kamianske in the wider region. Image

Hello again.
Day 1552. A holiday in many countries "Whit Monday" in most, Spring holiday in others (inc UK) and Memorial Day in the U.S

But after 4 years and 3 months, memorials are still being made in Ukraine because our leaders, collectively, let them down.
Here's the daily🧵
I'm still not quite sure where Saturday ended and Sunday began - the days merged into one for me.
What I do know is there were >120 new posts over the 48 hours, that's an average one story every 24 minutes, over the entire two days.

Here's Sunday's link:

 There are new murderous attacks by Russia already today in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Explosions have been heard in the city of Dnipro after an alert for ballistic missiles. Smoke can be seen, but no initial news of widespread damage, so hopefully air defence did its job. Image

Here we go again then. Day 1550 of Ukrainians wondering if they, their home, their relatives, will be bombed today.

About 16 million people have been born in the US and 15m in the EU since Russia started its full invasion of Ukraine.

Welcome to Saturday's daily🧵
Friday was a cracking thread, with vodka cheaper than a single tomato, legless Russians celebrating, Moscow claiming a college in occupied Luhansk wasn't housing Rubicon pilots and their drones and Ukraine causing more mayhem deep inside Russia.

#UkraineSanctions have been successfully employed again!

Lots of action in Russia last night, even before I closed the thread. Around 8am this morning another Ukraine strike in Perm' region, a distance of about 1700km.

Day 1549 of the madness that is Russia's war

Putin's gone from the expected capture of Kyiv before the end of Feb 2022 & annihilation of Ukraine's leaders & the country's culture, to begging China to keep it afloat & trying to quell dissenters at home as bombs fall!
The daily🧵
A quick reminder, everything I do is free. No extra content behind paywalls or subscriptions.

Every single day, documenting everything important about the war and about Ukraine. Still never missed a day. If you are able to support here's the link:

Thursday's thread was another fairly long one, with over 40 posts and many encouraging for Ukraine.

Vyshyvanka day proved to be a good one, unless you're supporting invaders, as they suffered myriad setbacks including 100 in one hit.

Wednesday 20 May is Day 1547 of Putin's catastrophic full invasion of its peaceful neighbour.

Russia has lost a large part of a generation of men - dead, dying or those who managed to emigrate. Reserves spent, economy collapsing.
Putin, not Zelenskyy, is Russia's biggest enemy
Let's start the daily thread in the traditional manner with the link for the start of Tuesday's thread.

A lot more destruction on both sides, as Putin grovels in China. Click, but remember to come back for today's news...

1/2
 I'll start though with new photos leaked out of occupied Crimea.

You may remember I wrote about a large Ukraine attack at the weekend - and these photos are from a military airfield, thought to be Belbek. Image

Welcome to THE daily thread on Day 1546 of the war.

Russia is showing small signs of desperation.
More economic woes, more Ukraine air attacks deep inside Russia, a desperation to strengthen ties with allies and having to make new nuclear threats.

All the news in one place:
Here's the link back to the start of Monday's thread for those catching up.

A day when Russia lost more equipment, including a helicopter, but also bombed the hell out of Dnipro, while the EU looks for a lead negotiator to meet Putin.

One thing I learned last night I'll repost here as very few people saw it last night, and for Ukraine watchers it's very interesting and potentially important.

Will Zelenskyi dare fire Zaluzhnyi so he has no platform in the run up to an election?
