One of the big developing stories last night was the alleged attack on occupied #Ilovaisk.
In 2014 unarmed #Ukraine soldiers, given "safe passage" by #Russia were ruthlessly gunned down in Ilovaisk.
This video supposedly shows some of the 7 HIMARS strikes on the train station.
One thing I noticed while researching explosions & earthquake in #Iran is that the Tehran regime is supplying #Russia with a lot of Ruyin-3 body armour
Telegram channel iran_defense also writes Russia is "also using Iranian 'Army-02' series helmets derived from the American ACH"
Back to the bad old days. #Putin's dream of recreating the #USSR come a little closer every day.
21st century Hitler Youth moreorless exists already.
Yet more "cargo" being delivered on big planes to/from #Iran and #Russia.
I'm guessing it's not food on board!
#Russia complained but it happened after the curfew and the puppet 'government' has not mentioned casualties. #Ukraine bloggers say troops were arriving when the missiles hit.
More photos from the railway station which was targeted last night. Doesn't look as though much will be coming through here for a while, and if #Russia's mobchiks were arriving when #HIMARS struck there will have been a lot of casualties.
Many of the defenders of #Mariupol remain in captivity.
The heroic #Ukraine servicemen and women ended up in the #Azovstal plant for weeks before the inevitable surrender. Here's how the steelworks looks now:
It's exactly 6 months ago today that #Russia almost certainly bombed its own prison full of #Ukraine Prisoners of War.
Still no real proof other than the drone attack filmed on the drone factory. But it does seem as though #Russia's supply of killer UAVs may be slowed up for a while at least:
This happened in the Kyivskyi district where S-300 missiles were fired by #Russia.
Casualties reported by locals, but unconfirmed. No official news yet from authorities.
#Croatia has arrested 4 people following the investigation into an oligarch's disappearing yacht.
Alisher Usmanov's "Irina Vu" is valued at $5m.
The 58 year old captain claims he didn't know it was impounded, yet somehow a "lookalike" replaced it in port. glashrvatske.hrt.hr/en/domestic/in…
Thanks once again Renée for donating to the coffee fund.
She is one of my most regular supporters 💙💛
At least 3 people have been injured in #Kharkiv when an apartment block was hit by a Russian missile.
This man says they got right inside people's apartments (the missile)
Earlier an elderly woman was known to be trapped under the rubble after #Russia's rocket hit the apartment block in the central Kyivskyi district.
It's not yet clear if she is the one who has died.
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.
