#Russia's losses in the last 24 hours (estimated by Kyiv) show very little equipment destroyed but still insane amounts of conscripts and mobilised soldiers killed.
An explosion in #Enerhodar this morning which looks to have killed one person.
The victim was likely the driver of a waste truck, which may have been hit by an IED. #Ukraine channels reckon it's a false flag operation by #Russia's Occupiers.
Overnight shelling in #Kherson hit the popular Epicentre supermarket.
Just another civilian target from the Terrorist State.
The exiled Mayor of #Melitopol has told #Ukraine's war 'news marathon' TV programme that "all hospitals are full in all of #Zaporizhzhia region and that the invaders had to start using sports centres.
Yesterday alone 8 more KAMAZ trucks full of injured soldiers were brought in.
#Germany's government has approved the supply of 88 Leopard-1 tanks to #Ukraine.
However they may not be much use. They cannot supply enough ammunition. The shells are a different calibre to Leopard-2s and no longer manufactured.
Imagine being in #Bakhmut right now.
Such small pleasures being such joy.
It's wonderful to see the embattled locals being able to enjoy clean running water (sort of), wash clothes, take a hot shower and even get a haircut. #SlavaUkraini#BakhmutHolds
1/2 This morning I reported on an explosion in #Enerhodar with a man killed.
It's now confirmed an improvised explosive device was used and local #Ukraine patriots have claimed responsibility for the death of 'collaborator' Yevgeniy Kuzmin.
Earlier Washington confirmed that #Ukraine's latest military "shopping list" has been taken care of!
Sadly F-16s were unavailable, but everything else is supplied. The precision-guided rockets highlighted are GLSDB offering Ukraine even longer range firepower.
Nice photo from earlier today in #Kyiv.
During a break from the official business of the EU summit, President @ZelenskyyUa and President of the European Council, @CharlesMichel share a moment. Or is it @Denys_Shmyhal? They look identical😅
Canada has imposed sanctions on 16 businesses and 38 individuals, almost all involved in spreading propaganda and disinformation.
Journalists, actors and singers are among the people targeted.
#Turkey's exporting vital electronics components and machinery to #Russia despite sanctions.
The @WSJ concludes "at least 13 Turkish firms exported a total of at least $18.5 million worth of items" including at least three shipments of goods from the USA
Half of June has already gone and still no resolution to the war in Ukraine. But Moscow is reaping what is sows.
This is THE daily thread for Tuesday - all the news every single day.
We've reached Day 1574
I keep garnering new followers, but X keeps taking followers away without them choosing to unfollow.
But daily views of the thread are slowly increasing again, now around 12k a day.
But we used to be at 25-30k
1/2 This morning, not just Kyiv badly attacked.
In fact, at the moment, more people are known to have died in Dnipro then the capital and that's where I'll start.
5 killed and 25 injured there plus 3 more wounded in Kamianske in the wider region.
Hello again.
Day 1552. A holiday in many countries "Whit Monday" in most, Spring holiday in others (inc UK) and Memorial Day in the U.S
But after 4 years and 3 months, memorials are still being made in Ukraine because our leaders, collectively, let them down.
Here's the daily🧵
I'm still not quite sure where Saturday ended and Sunday began - the days merged into one for me.
What I do know is there were >120 new posts over the 48 hours, that's an average one story every 24 minutes, over the entire two days.
1/2 There are new murderous attacks by Russia already today in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
Explosions have been heard in the city of Dnipro after an alert for ballistic missiles. Smoke can be seen, but no initial news of widespread damage, so hopefully air defence did its job.
Here we go again then. Day 1550 of Ukrainians wondering if they, their home, their relatives, will be bombed today.
About 16 million people have been born in the US and 15m in the EU since Russia started its full invasion of Ukraine.
Welcome to Saturday's daily🧵
Friday was a cracking thread, with vodka cheaper than a single tomato, legless Russians celebrating, Moscow claiming a college in occupied Luhansk wasn't housing Rubicon pilots and their drones and Ukraine causing more mayhem deep inside Russia.
#UkraineSanctions have been successfully employed again!
Lots of action in Russia last night, even before I closed the thread. Around 8am this morning another Ukraine strike in Perm' region, a distance of about 1700km.
