If you want to see all the news from yesterday, the photos and videos and see how #Dnipro and other stories unfolded chronologically, this is the start of Saturday's thread:
1/2 There has been some confusion about the cause of the disaster in #Dnipro after Presidential adviser @arestovych suggested it may have been a knocked out missile dropping on the apartment block.
#Ukraine's Air Force Commander Mykola Oleschuk pointed out that's impossible...
2/2 The #Dnipro apartment block was hit with a Kh-22 missile, and Oleshchuk says they don't have the Air Defence systems to stop these missiles.
"210 missiles of this type have been fired over #Ukraine. Not a single one was shot down by means of anti-aircraft defence."
Work continues through the night in #Dnipro (📹TG dnepr_operativ)
The death toll has climbed by two during the night so far.
14 confirmed killed in the attack. Over 70 injured.
38 people have been rescued from the rubble, but they still search for 20 missing. #StopRussia
#Russia's Ombudswoman has accused #Ukraine of torturing Prisoners of War.
Tatyana Moskalkova published unverified videos she says were sent to her by relatives of POWs Vladislav Kovalenko + Petr Krikunov. She claims they were threatened with death unless ransoms are paid.
Spare a thought for friends & family of Chris Parry + Andrew Bagshaw. It's now 9 days since the Humanitarian volunteers workers went missing near #Bakhmut
And still no update from #Wagner four days after publishing their passports and saying one had died
As well as confirming Challenger-2 tanks, Britain has committed to sending four of the most modern Apache helicopters to help #Ukraine retain its independence and regain all its territory. Hell-Fire missiles are included in the package.
630 soldiers die in the continued illegal invasion. The majority likely to have been "worthless" convicts in the eyes of the Kremlin and military commanders.
Total 🇷🇺 army deaths over 115,000 according to Kyiv estimates
A luxury yacht owned by sanctioned Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov has "escaped" from an EU harbour.
Balkan Observer reports how the vessel "Irina VU" was 'frozen' in #Croatia due to UK, EU + US sanctions. Yet somehow it was allowed to sail to #Turkiye
A 23rd person's body has been found in the ruins of #Dnipro.
Here are some new photos from the scene taking this afternoon. Hopes of finding any more survivors are fading fast.
39 people have been saved, but after calls from concerned relatives they fear 43 are still missing.
Insane amounts of numpties, abusers, trolls, bots etc this week, especially in the last 24 hours post Dnipro.
Analysis shows about 85% of accounts started after Feb 2022. The rest a smattering of anons, others or right wing Americans. Reagan would turn in his grave at this GOP.
More bodies taken from the rubble. #Dnipro apartment block death toll now 27.
Locals organise the charity donations pouring in to help the grieving and the homeless.
#Ukraine's Southern Command, which warned of the probability of the Cruise missile attack yesterday, says there are now 16 Russian ships in the Black Sea.
The flotilla includes 6 missile carriers. They estimate over 30 Kalibr missiles are being carried.
Some #Ukraine channels still posting about holding a part of #Soledar, but these cannot be confirmed.
Meanwhile #Wagner types have been handing out medals for capture of the town which is the size of Cinderford in the UK!
Update from #Soledar, the last known member of #Ukraine's military posting about holding part of the town now admits they are fighting outside the borders of the town.
Here's a translation of the post by Robert Magyar/Madiar
The independent Baza media claims a soldier blew up 13 of his colleagues with a grenade, killing three and injuring ten.
A man from #Sverdlovsk seems to have deliberately detonated the grenade in #Bryansk among newly mobilised recruits.
Igor/Ihor - you know who you are. Thank you so much for the donation to my Ko-Fi (coffee) fund💙💛
There's no way I'm going to say this is accurate, but an official from #Ukraine's Presidential entourage claims over three-quarters of #Russia's convict recruits are now fertilising Ukraine's ground.
Win-Win for the Kremlin, saving loads on prison meals!
Plenty more damage from shelling in #Kherson today.
Another apartment block was badly damaged here as the centre felt the full force of #Russia's continuing anger over two months after they were forced out of the right bank.
Welcome to Thursday's thread with all the important news on Russia's illegal war in Ukraine.
It's Day 1275 - the day Putin openly mocks Trump.
After China + India upped oil purchases, the indicted war criminal ordered his army to bomb a US company in🇺🇦
Let's begin:
Ukraine is recovering from the predicted massive overnight attack.
Russia launched more than 600 missiles and drones.
The mayhem started in the last third of yesterday's exhausting thread. If you missed it, click and scroll here:
It's Day 1274 of Ukraine's incredible defence of its people, land, culture + shielding many NATO states, next on Putin's hit-list from his long stated dream to reunite the USSR
Somehow Trump & his cults (I nearly misspelled that) seem intent on helping Putin.
Here's the daily🧵
Tuesday was another 50+ post thread, packed full of some more untold insights into Ukraine news and life, including the resurgence of Covid and a language 'foul' on the football field.
But politics and Russian atrocities are omnipresent.
Here's your link
Let me start with an unwanted shock for residents in Poltava, who were warned of a radiation threat this morning, I imagine sparking all sorts of horrific thoughts.
Thankfully, the governor says it was human error, Myrhorod should've had an air alert, not the radiation warning.
Zelenskyy's forced to be careful, but Ukraine's always been ready for the unconditional ceasefire Trump first demanded 5 months ago. So no surprise he's travelling to Washington on Monday
It's Alaska Day, or a couple of half-baked Alaskas meeting later as Russia hopes to carve up Ukraine, with Trump's approval.
That's much later on Day 1269 of Putin's war.
As I start this thread at around 02:30 GMT, 05:30 Ukraine, there is a big attack on Russia.
Let the🧵begin
In a rush to get to sleep, so let me waste no further time in giving the link to yesterday's thread.
Both X and BSky have been a bit crappy scrolling through threads. One thing you can do is click my profile and then "replies", click one + scroll up
Whoever said 7 days is a long time in politics was dead right.
An about turn from tough guy & threats to TACO queen & Putin's poodle. And the next 7 days is now set to bring another cosy meet between a felon and an indicted war criminal.
It's Day 1263 of THE Ukraine thread:
A later start to Saturday's thread because of a crazily late finish to the last🧵
Fewer than 20,000 views for the first time in weeks on such an important day🤨🤔
So much effort and so little impact some days 😢
If you're one of many to miss it, click⬇️
Day 1261 - the White House thinks the war in Ukraine is coming to an end.
Especially as the Kremlin has this morning announced Putin and Trump will meet in the coming days.
But is the war criminal just duping the US Pres again and buying more time?
Follow me & today's thread:
Much of Wednesday was taken up with the politics surrounding US envoy Wirkoff's latest chummy chat with Putin.
But then it turned dark, literally as the sun went down, but Ukraine looks to have had the better of the drone exchanges.
