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…

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.
Day 1300 of Putin's war.
Another 100 days of fighting completed.
We are no nearer peace than we were 100 days ago.
Almost 200 days ago Trump demanded a 30-day unconditional ceasefire.
Not surprising as he started it, it's always Putin stopping peace.
Here's Monday's daily🧵

It was a day when Ukraine had to quickly repair a main railway line after a massive explosion, but they also managed to make multiple hits on Russia's rail and oil industries
Hello on Day 1298 of Russia's full invasion of its sovereign neighbour. So, only 1295 days late in fulfilling the boast of taking Kyiv in 3 days. #EATP for Putin.
I've compiled a🧵every single day without fail.

Friday saw more important visitors arrive in Kyiv (and another familiar place is in Ukraine today).
There was more solidarity and practical support, while Russia suffered more oil woes.
I'll start in Odesa, because that's where the familiar face has turned up.
He was planning to return to Ukraine a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't make it, but now Boris is back.
Loved by nearly all Ukrainians, his early arrival (with Lord Ashcroft) meant he avoids the crowds.
Day 1297 of Russia's imperialist war, but the senior bully keeps being given a bloody nose by the junior school kid next door. How embarrassing for the "world's second greatest army" and more 'punches' thrown by Ukraine overnight..
There was so much in yesterday's thread.
Russia hitting churches, Ukraine striking a boat.
The US helping Belarus, which helps🇷🇺 & Trump questioning if the drone attack on Poland was a mistake.
Thursday ended with a Ukraine drone surge into Russia:
Here we go then, another day in Russia's imperial war on Ukraine
Too many "allies" of Ukraine lacked vision, understanding or balls, or all three and merely tried to stop the punching, while the US now rather sadistically aids the killing while shouting "peace"
It's Monday's🧵
Day 1293 has started quietly, but with politicians back in offices, there may be developments later.
Sunday was a day of violence, recrimination and clearing up after the worst single night's attack in world history, in terms of projectiles.
