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

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

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.
If you were with me late last night, you will know about the ballistic missiles and big drone attack on Sumy.

I think Russia moved to attacking soft targets in big numbers.

A record 46% of UAVs were NOT stopped.
116 fired, just 42 shot down and 21 neutralised by EW.Image

Day 1163 of Russia's war of choice, invading a peaceful neighbour.

Another bloody and murderous night in Ukraine, but the pressure is all on Russia today as Ukraine signs the minerals deal, the US (finally) continues its shift against Putin and the oil price dives

Here's THE🧵
Good morning and happy May (or MayDay).

I have to say a new month brings new optimism for Ukraine following the US/Ukraine agreement.

That was the biggest news story of a near 50-post thread.
It took me ages - least you can do is read it!😂

1/4
There is a lot of criticism of the minerals deal, even more scepticism and a lot of confusion, so let me give my analysis and key points.

First, Yuliia Svyrydenko, Ukraine Dep PM gave her full explanation after signing the deal, this gives 🇺🇦 POV

Day 1158 of the war in Europe.
This is the daily thread for Saturday 26 April, and as I mentioned last night, the anniversary of the Chornobyl disaster.

A later start today, sorry if I kept you waiting, but let's waste no more time...
Yesterday we saw Russia attack civilians of course, but we also probably also got a reminder of the power of Ukraine's Military Intelligence, as a Russian general and a weapons designer were both confirmed dead.

Plus full details of the peace plan(s)⬇️
1/2
Also today of course, and continuing right now in the Vatican is the farewell to Pope Francis.

Putin cannot attend because he would be arrested as an indicted war criminal.

On the front row, Zelenskyy, Macron and Trump.

Hello at the start of another weekend, Day 1151 of the war in Europe.

Day by day the US paves the way for capitulation.
Trump may pretend there was no war in his first term, but his administration said it would never recognise Crimea.

This is THE daily thread for Saturday.
Here's the link for the start of yesterday's thread.
Visibility is still low - 15k views.

Plenty to get your teeth into.. 100 fleeing Russian refuseniks, tRUmp on the verge of failure, and of course the attacks on Ukraine.
Catch up here:

With even tRUmp slowly realising he's been played by Putin all along with no intent on peace, Russia has upped the aerial attack on its next targets for invasion.

Sumy, Kostiantynivka + Kupiansk feel the full force.
In the latter 10 glide bombs in one day with 5 people injured. Image

This is the start of THE daily thread covering all things Ukraine.

Reliable, accurate information for 1124 days as Russia and its willing accomplices (Iran, North Korea and MAGA-land) try to destroy Ukraine, its culture and its democracy to make it a vassal state.

Here's the🧵
Yesterday started with shocking lies and propaganda from the White House and ended with another massive attack by Russia, knowing tRUmp and co don't mind at all.

Find all the details by clicking and scrolling here⬇️

Worryingly, Russia achieved a 17% hit rate from its overnight drone attack with 25 of 147 getting through Ukraine's air defence.

97 attack UAVs were taken down and 25 more were decoys.

Kyiv came under fire most during the night.
