This is the start of Friday's daily thread covering all events related to #Russia and #Ukraine in the prolonged illegal war.

Day 345 - just three weeks until the anniversary of Putin's crazy and hellishly costly decision.

Updated in real time, keep checking back during the day
To support my work you can send tip offs in DMs, words of encouragement or buy me a coffee (see link in bio) - all are appreciated.

These threads take around 12 hrs a day to compile, collating, translating, verifying, editing etc.

Catch up on Thurs here:
#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.

840 in a single day dying for the new Fuhrer.

#RussiansGoHome
British Intel today comes up with some good numbers of #Russia's prisons and Wagner recruitment.

This concurs with what I wrote yesterday, that Prigozhin's mob is running quite low on numbers, but the regular army is not of course.
The White House has flatly denied this story which broke last night.

German "sources" told Swiss media that CIA Director Burns tried to get #Russia and #Ukraine to agree a peace deal...

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.

Thankfully no deaths or injuries.
#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
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.

Anna Netrebko is a Russian opera singer who has publicly supported the war and invasion of #Ukraine for many years.

It seems some in #Italy are unaware or don't care or just want to profit from her despite her being sanctioned.

Something else strange in #Russia.

Why are they putting camoflouge nets around air defence systems on rooves?

As you can tell, it's a quiet news day in #Ukraine and Russia!
Other ways to express your displeasure with some of #Italy's cities permitting a war criminal supporter holding concerts in the EU soon.

#Netrebko #RussianWarCrimes #Russia

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.

2/2

This spokesman of #Ukriane's resistance claims 'Traitor' Kuzmin was a former policeman who switched to helping #Russia's invaders.

"The Partisans of #Enerhodar continue to fight invaders... Each of you will be found and liquidated."

Impossible to verify where it was filmed
Main statements from today's #EU-#Ukraine summit:

Kremlin won't intimidate us, Ukraine will be a member of EU

For 1st time Ukraine records intention to join EU

EU to provide Ukraine first €1bn to rebuild after war

EU prepares 10th sanctions package (€10bn) against #Russia
Warning!
Graphic Photos from #Kherson after Russia's shelling today.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Across the city of #Kherson a shell flew through the wall of a private apartment.
No deaths reported.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Remember the offer to seel "Reaper" drones to #Ukraine for $1?

Well, one of #Ukraine's giant Antonov cargo planes landed at the Creech air force base today.

Just saying that the Reapers are based at Creech, you can read more about them here:

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.

#StopRussia
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

#StopRussia
I've only just learned of the death of another foreign humanitarian volunteer having been killed near #Bakhmut.

Pete Reed, an American medic, was evacuating civilians when a shell reportedly hit his ambulance yesterday.

His wife and mother asked for privacy.
RIP💙💛

Day 1254. Eight more til Trump Sanctions Day.

Putin's response was to bomb the cr*p out of Ukraine's capital again overnight.

It's decency against inhumanity. Which side are you on?

Welcome to THE daily thread.
Wednesday was a fairly quiet day, punctuated by the odd Russian missile attack, before another enormous attack centre on Kyiv.. and it's still going on.

But Ukraine hit back in Russia.
Missed anything? Click and scroll, but please come back!

Five missiles are over Kyiv right now.
I hope everyone's safely in shelters.

Tuesday 29 July. Day 1252.
Documenting all the important stories and developments in Ukraine's ongoing fight for survival against an invading horde.

Every Single Day. No break, no days off.
All the news from the war in Europe, all the time.
Monday was probably a better day for Ukraine.
We saw Trump appear to lose patience with indicted war criminal Putin, we saw a Ukraine flag replanted in one reclaimed village & late in the thread more strikes on Russia's rail infrastructure.

Catch up here
I'll begin in Rostov region, where earlier Ukraine hit railway infrastructure in the town of Salsk.

Pretty much the whole of the rail network in Rostov oblast is crucial to Russia's military. The proximity to occupied parts of Ukraine & the route to Crimea run through here. Image

Day 1249 of terrorism being inflicted on Ukraine.

It's been another very difficult night as Russia pounds major cities with combined attacks.

I'm still documenting all the war crimes - no sleep yet, please support my work with a KoFi (link in profile)

Here's Saturday's thread
Russia's night time attack is continuing.
Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions have been most badly hit.

You can read about most of the attack towards the end of Friday's thread - it's another big one and here's the link for the start; click & scroll..

This is the shocking sight in Dnipro after the latest of many missile attacks on the city and wider region this morning.

Day 1247
It's never ending. At least it feels like it after another sleepless night and "peace talks" that lasted 40 minutes and Russia still refusing Trump's demand for a ceasefire, which Ukraine agreed to 135 days ago.

All the news, all the time, it's the daily Ukraine🧵
A quick reminder if you appreciate my work (and lack of sleep) you can donate coffee via the link in my bio🙏

But this is the link you probably really want! To check back on all yesterday's news, especially when Russia was attacked late at night.

So last night ended with a lot of damage in southern Ukraine & southern Russia

Part of the damage in the Sochi/Adler are of Krasnodar region seems to have been self-inflicted.

Here's a new video of what seems to be Russian air defence missing but landing harmlessly this time.

You've found the start of another daily thread. I've not missed one day since Russia's full invasion, bringing all the Ukraine news in one handy thread every single day.

It's Day 1246, let's begin.
A late finish last night for me (yeah, not unusual), so a later start.

But not due to a massive Russian attack, but because of the political situation & public backlash

Another bumper thread, big Ukraine street protests for the 1st time in years in here
The biggest thing today will hopefully be the resumption of talks between Ukraine and Russia.

The meeting will again take place in Istanbul, starting at 7pm UKR time, 5PM BST, noon EST.
Venue is the Çırağan Palace - can't wait to hear reporters butcher that name😂 [Cheer-raan] Image

Day 1245
One thousand, two hundred + forty-five days of battling to survive against what was said to be the world's 2nd greatest army.

Ukraine's resistance has been heroic but still a lot of work to do.

I'm starting Tuesday's thread before sleep as the air attack just ended.
Monday's thread was another 50-post marathon

A lot of problems for Russia, with drones, planes, trains and the elements. But another major Ukraine city was hit in the early hours of this morning.
All yesterday's news is here, click and scroll to catch-up
Straight to events in Odesa then.
At around 2am Russian drones descended on the city.

There seem to be 3 sites of damage - though at least one may be debris damage.

Mayor Hennadiy Trukhanov, a great self publicist, released a video after visiting the site of the worst damage.
