In y'day's thread I wrote about some members of Russian society leaving flowers to express sympathy with the people of #Dnipro after #Russia's terrorist attack
However unconfirmed reports police went to the Lesia Ukrainka monument trying to catch those feeling sorry for #Ukraine
In #Kyiv, some of the apartment blocks most seriously damaged by #Russia's bombs, have been completely renovated.
This is in the central Shevchenkivskyi district. Got to say it's incredibly quick work, even more so when you remember this is a country still at war.
Reliable reports of an attack by #Ukraine's Resistance in the occupied part of #Zaporizhzhia region.
There was an explosion in #Kyrylivka, 60km south of Melitopol, on the coast.
Local RIA channel says the well known Smirnov mansion was attacked. They have Russians staying there.
NO Abrams tanks for #Ukraine...
But the next aid package from #USA will probably include rocket systems with a range of 160km/100 miles, bringing a third of #Crimea into range from the current front line.
Russia hoped for respite over Christmas. One side is killing innocent people. One side should not be there.
World leaders should call for negotiations only after the aggressor leaves the country and war crimes are punished.
Day 1194 of Putin's war, though let's remember the initial invasion came 11 years ago.
Since February 2014, not once have western sanctions or military support come close to being enough to restore justice and defeat evil.
Welcome to THE daily 🇺🇦 thread for Sunday 1 June
A new day, a new season. Summer officially started, but nothing is likely to change just yet.
Y'day's thread had some great stories, but everything paled into insignificance when justy before midnight came news of a disaster in Russia's Bryansk region:
Another night of no sleep yet - dramatic action in Moscow.
Time to start another daily thread covering everything to do with Putin's disastrous 'operation' in Ukraine.
It's 5am in Russia and Ukraine, on Day 1190 of the war.
Let's begin...
I've still NEVER missed even one day since the start of Russia's full invasion.
But yesterday's thread ended up being one of the most lively. Another near 50-post story of the day, and if you like seeing "bavovna" in Russia, go right through to the end!
Good morning on Day 1176 of the war in Europe.
In my opinion, Ukraine should have won this war in 2022/23.
Effective leadership is based on good, decisive decisions. Sadly, the allies have never been decisive, preferring dithering and half measures.
Welcome to my daily thread:
What I mean by dithering is endless internal political battles in most countries to give adequate weapons. Scholz (Taurus), Biden (everything) the most obvious examples, though Joe was hampered by Congress and is way better than now
But it's always enough to survive, not to win
If you missed anything from yesterday, catch up with this link to the start of yesterday's thread. Scroll down to where you got to and complete your knowledge!
The start of a new week and simultaneously almost the end of 167 weeks of Russia's attempt to liberate Ukraine from its leader and remove the country from maps.
It's Day 1167 of Putin's full invasion. Welcome to Monday's daily thread.
First the link back to Sunday's thread for those who were busy y'day
It started with Ukraine counting the cost of yet more strikes on civilians and infrastructure but there were more strategic hits on Russia during the day, incl a night attack on Moscow.
