#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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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]
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.
