A new week, week 49 of #Russia's war and Day 341 since #Putin took the illegal decision to invade a peaceful neighbour.

Here's another daily thread with all the news as #Ukraine fights for its very survival.

Here's the link to yesterday's thread:

Frist an update on #Russia's direct hit on an apartment block in #Kharkiv.

Remarkably so far the casualty figures are the same with one elderly woman killed and three other civilians injured.

Emergency services released these new photos of the disaster site.
#StandWithUkraine
Here's the British Intel briefing for Monday.
Under the radar mobilisation continues in #Russia:

#RussianGoHome
#Ptuin threatened @BorisJohnson with a missile strike. It's on all the British front pages today.

The former UK PM made the revelation in a BBC interview

#StopRussia
In #Kherson region, explosions reported in occupied #Skadovsk.

No further details yet, but this is how the sky looked over the town first thing this morning.

#RussiansGoHome
In the #Chechen wars, #Russia just destroyed the capital #Grozny. In #Syria it was a couple of places.

In #Ukraine it's every single city, town or village they can reach. Animal and war criminals.
This is Mariinka in #Donetsk oblast.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
#Russia's losses well down in the last 24 hours.
Maybe rotation of troops on both sides and restablishing positions.

Pinpoint strikes may be responsible for many of the 490 new deaths*

*Ukraine estimate
A female TV reporter was raped in #Melitopol by "Kadyrovites" of #Russia's army according to her employers NTV who have filed a criminal complaint.

Olga Zenkova's cameraman Artem Epifanov was beaten up by the #Chechen "soldiers" in the hotel restaurant.

#RussiaWarCrimes
Many on Twitter and Telegram reporting that #Poland is ready to give F-16 fighter jets to #Ukraine.

That's sort of true. Acually Polish PM Mateusz Morawiecki actually said nothing has changed. If NATO acts on this matter they will be happy to help, but won't go it alone.
It's quiet in #Ukraine 🤞

Yesterday was not quiet in #Kherson. Pictures have just been released of the damage to one of the most historical buildings in the city.

#StopRussia
A survey of bomb shelters in #Kyiv has revealed one in 5 does not exist.

"They are on the maps, but in reality they do not exist or they are in a terrible state" the OZON monitoring group said.

“It shouldn’t be like this, because the next shelter is 5 minutes away.”
As darkness fell in #Dnipropetrovsk region, an explosion and a pillar of smoke seen here.

A small explosion was also heard in the outskirts of #Dnipro city, but could have been air defence.

#StopRussia
Once again locals in #Kherson region are being bombed with incendiary munitions.

Likely thermite as we've seen countless times since liberation of the right bank 2.5 months ago.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Nowadays most of the shills, bots and perhaps brainwashed don't even hide their Nazi and fascist beliefs.

Of course if you replace Ukraine with Russia in this text it makes perfect sense.
#Denmark confirmed it is handing over all its 19 Caesar howitzers

Danish PM Mette Frederiksen pledged the country's continuing support during a meeting with President Zelenskyy at a briefing in Odesa

Zelensky thanked the country for its willingness to join the "tank coalition."
Foreign volunteers trying to rescue civilians from #Bakhmut when this happened:

I cannot verify when this video was taken but I have no reason to doubt it was very recent.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
It's reported that the first Bradley fighting vehicles have arrived in #Ukraine.

The US Transportation Command sent the cargo of around 60 Bradleys from South Carolina five days ago.

#StandWithUkraine
Correction - there is no proof Bradleys are in #Ukraine yet, but either way they will be soon.

Meanwhile Joe Biden has again confirmed he won't give F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine

This is the start of Tuesday's daily thread, with all the important news from, and relevant to, Ukraine in one handy place.

It's Day 1385 and I've still never missed a day of fact checking, analysing and reporting every aspect of the defence against Russia's illegal war.
Yesterday a lot of talking behind the scenes, but politicians were broadly tight-lipped on progress.

Russia did make more small gains on the frontline, but we also found a cat with burned whiskers + how Russian pilots' head-tennis went disastrously wrong
Pres Zelenskyy's whirlwind tour continues, arriving in Rome this morning to meet the Pope at Castle Gandolfo.

At Villa Barberini, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was welcomed by the vice-regent of the papal household, Augustinian Father Edward Daniang Daleng.

Day 1366 of the war in Europe is the start of two days of mourning in a small city in Ukraine which suffered over 160 killed and injured in a single Russia attack 24 hours ago.

As the war crimes mount, Trump approves a mad-hat simpleton's plan to end the war

Here's THE daily🧵
Here's the link for the start of Wednesday's🧵
I posted 65 stories - that equates to a post every 22 minutes throughout the entire 24 hours.

Psychologically a devastating day for Ukraine. Being murdered by Russia, being abandoned by the USA.

A reminder US officials are in Kyiv, due to meet Zelenskyy, when Ukraine's president knows he will have to tell the Americans to shove the surrender document up Witkoff's "White House pass"

Is Rubio undermining the WH plan?
It's certainly not realistic and without 🇷🇺concessions Image

Welcome to another daily thread covering all the important things happening in Ukraine right now, and therefore by (unwanted association) Russia too.

All things fact checked, analysed and explained.
The news you can rely on, every day, in one place.

It's Day 1361. I'm late!⏰
Well I had a lovely lie-in as, all things considered it was a relatively news-free morning

My "bitter enders" (those who make it through to the very end of the🧵) will know there was a big attack on Dnipro which kept me reporting late.
Missed it? click⬇️
One thing I've had to do is wade through Trump's interview on GB News. It's actually been worthwhile because it's a wonderful example I can use to train what NOT to do!

Main points being:
1'48" to ask a question is dreadful
Such simpering loses all credibility before you begin

The first few hours of Day 1360 of Russia's genocidal war started with Ukrainians in shelters. More innocent lives have been claimed by the Moscow horde.

The west unable or unwilling to stop the slaughter despite 1000s of war crimes.
We're not incapable, must not be unwilling.
One of the heaviest bombardments Kyiv has ever known dominated y'day's thread and the start of today's.

But Ukraine also continues to pick-off financial targets inside Russia

It all made for one of the longest🧵 so far - the least you can do is read it!

I am not starting in Kyiv though, because this Friday morning has already seen more murder and another clear terrorist attack by Russia.

A UAV smashed into the town centre of Chornomorsk, another Black Sea port just south of Odesa

2 dead, 7 injured

Day 1359 of Europe's war.
Welcome to Thursday's daily🧵 with all the important news from Ukraine + Russia, without gratuitous gory bits.

Every single day, without a break for holiday or illness, I've been here using my 🇺🇦experience & sources to fact check everything. Let's Go!
Wednesday's thread saw evidence of:
Long-range strikes by Ukraine
Russia Collapsing
Ukraine tackling a major corruption scandal.

Catch up by clicking, scrolling, then coming back here for today's news!

It remained quiet overnight for most in Ukraine, but this morning at least six people have been injured in a Russian strike in Mykolaiv.

Three of the victims are in a 'serious' condition in hospital after the drone attack.

Hello again, thanks for visiting my Ukraine thread on Day 1353

Views/likes are down on both sites I post on: possible war fatigue

It's exactly what Putin wants from the world - to wear us down so we accept a deal to stop the killing
This will embolden Putin & hasten war v NATO
Here's the link for Thursday's thread.
It was a day which saw Ukraine inflict a fair amount of damage on Russia's energy sector and the crisis is nearing for Putin as it cannot export oil.

The energy crisis for Ukraine is about people surviving winter:
I'll start with the battle for Pokrovsk, as DeepState updated the map 40 mins ago.

Zero change in the lines since yesterday.
That's excellent for Ukraine but I fear the cost.

Of course things constantly change in the grey zone but no breakthrough.
Situation today vs a week ago Image
