Day 328 and the war continues.
So do the war crimes.

This is my 328th daily thread with the news from #Ukraine as #Russia seeks to destroy a nation, a culture.

Quite a bit of late news yesterday - catch up here:

No rest for the wicked they say.
That was true in #Oslo overnight where it was loud outside #Russia's consulate.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
1/2
Also loud in #Russia, at least in #Belgorod region.

Air Defence spent a long time trying to catch something in the sky.
2/2

They claim they got something in the end.
This is reportedly the remains of what was shot down by #Russia's air defence in #Belgorod.
This story from late last night deserves highlighting again in today's thread.

Another war crime in #Kherson region.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

The USA's Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman arrived in #Kyiv late Monday.

US Ambassador to #Ukraine Bridget Brink accompanied her to meetings with officials from the President's Office and Defence Dept.

Still waiting for more details about the big explosion in #Donetsk region last last night too.

#Khartsyzsk, just a few kilometres away, was hit. The Occupiers have given scant details so far.

#RussiansGoHome
Rescuers are still working in #Dnipro, into the 4th day of sifting through the rubble. All hope of finding anyone still alive looks to have evaporated now.

The death toll remains at 40. Others are still reported to be missing.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Not much change on the frontlines.
Things looking better around #Kreminna than in #Bakhmut

A propagandist from #Russia's Army TV channel showed how the invaders control the upper ground outside Bakhmut.

He also points out bullet holes on a car said to be abandoned by Ukrainians
A woman in #Kherson shows the damage her home suffered during the night.

Every evening and usually in the early hours of the new day too, #Russia consistently shells the southern #Ukraine city.
Massive losses reported again for #Russia. 870 more died on the battlefield yesterday according to #Ukraine's estimates.

Over 5,000 killed in just 8 days.

That new draft may be coming soon!

#RussiansGoHome
#Russia is slammed by British intelligence for its use of unguided, or inaccurate, missiles. One of these killed 40 people in the #Dnipro outrage.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine's Southern Command says there's a record breaking number of cruise missile laden ships and missiles in the Black Sea right now.

More Russian ships have left ports in the last 24 hours. There's now a total of 44 Kalibr missiles ready to hit Ukraine.
#Dnipro

This morning the body of another child has been recovered from the ruined apartment block.

The discovery on the 4th floor takes the total number of victims to 41 (four children)

79 people were injured, 39 have been rescued.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Oleksiy @arestovych has resigned from his position of Adviser to #Ukraine's President

Arestovych apologised for his "error" of saying the #Dnipro disaster may have been caused by an anti-aircraft missile hitting the Russian Cruise rocket.

Calls for his resignation grew.
If you were with me in the early hours of the morning (or diligently read the thread since then!), you'll remember this overnight excitement in #Belgorod region.

The Governor claims only power lines were damaged.

Not snow, but more thermite munitions inflicted on the people of #Kherson this morning.

These are not permitted near civilians or civilian infrastructure.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
#Dnipro update on a grim morning.

More bodies have been recovered from the 4th floor as emergency workers delve further into the ruins.

44 people are now known to have been killed when #Russia hit the apartment block.
In #Moscow not everyone agrees with the Terroist State.

Flowers accompanied a photo of the #Dnipro massacre at the monument to #Ukraine writer Lesia Ukrainka.

While blue and yellow ribbons on more flowers left opposite the FSB building in #Russia's capital.

#StopRussia
The demolition of the apartment block hit by a Russian missile, continues in #Dnipro.

Death toll: 44

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Very little has happened today in #Ukraine, which is a good thing.

Not even politically much new to report.
The rescue operation at Dnipro concluded earlier today. These are the innocent children who lost their lives because of a Russian missile.
Warning - very emotional video.

A tearful Grandfather in #Dnipro shows his anger at #Russia after the loss of his one year old grandchild.

He wishes all Russians to suffer because of the pain they spread.
#RussiaOnFire - all the hallmarks of an insurance job

The idea of #Russia's largest 5-star hotel being in #Siberia, and of all places in non-descript #Manzherok always looked stupid.

Now, with no tourist trade, the 304-bed hotel spontaneously combusted just before completion.
A contribution from anonymous source in #Ukraine

What to do when you see a Russian in the EU?

Punch him in the face and say: "Excuse me, it was your air defense that didn't work, I thought it was a military base, and in general, what are you doing on NATO territory?! F*ck off!"
The pressure on #Ukraine's defenders in #Bakhmut grows each day as #Wagner and regular troops from #Russia's army pour in to the hot zone.
Speaking of being at the front, here's a cool story and a decent listen too.

Sorry there are no subtitles for the interview bit, but everyone will understand!
#Ukraine
#HeroiamSlava
Earlier today Netherlands PM @MinPres indicated to #USA that he wanted to give Patriot to #Ukraine.

Now President Zelenskyy confirms it's happening.

Mayor of #Dnipro thinks the true death toll in the apartment block massacre may be over 50.

Boris Filatov thinks the mixture of cold night and burning rocket fuel may have literally removed all trace of some residents.

The official death toll from #Russia's missile is 45
Great to see #Russia's embassy in Sweden acknowledging the four occupied regions of mainland #Ukraine, and even #Crimea, as still belonging to Ukraine!

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:

So let's break down Russia's aerial attack, which consisted of 40 missiles and 574 drones.

Ukraine's air defence intercepted these missiles:
1/4 Kindzhal hypersonic
0/2 ballistic
12/14 Kalibr cruise
18/19 Kh-101 cruise
0/1 unknown

and 546/574 UAVs = 95%

11 locations were hit. Image

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. Image

There's an angry reaction from a wide cross section of society to Trump's compliant acceptance of Putin doing just what he wanted on U.S. soil

Welcome to my🧵on Day 1270 of Russia's war. I've never missed a day, if you want to support my quest for truth
ko-fi.com/twmcltd
Yesterday proved to be about a 26 hour long thread, which even for me was crazy!

Ukraine had great success striking military targets, while eventually, Putin had great success manipulating Trump.

Here's the link if you're catching up:

It's distasteful seeing leaders pussy-foot around, scared to upset Trump's fragile ego

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

So, as I posted a few minutes ago at the end of Thursday's thread, a big, successful attack on another oil refinery in Russia.

This time it's the Rosneft plant in the city of Syzran, in Saratov region.

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 😢

President Zelenskyy's damning response to the TrumPutin plan came early in social media posts - the full subtitled video is next in my🧵

As I said last night when Trump announced details, Putin got EVERYTHING he wanted (again) & gave up nothing, not even secondary tariffsImage

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.
Catch up here:

I think we should start with the latest from Moscow on the first of the meetings which most hope will end the war, but few realists believe.

The venue has been arranged - this is from one of Russia's state news agencies. Image
