This is Day 347 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine and my 347th Daily Thread.

Welcome along to the place for all the news and analysis in one handy 🧵

Saturday was quiet, but here's the link in case you were busy and need a refresher:

Now for many in the #UK, today is "Happy Valley Day" - the finalé of the very popular TV series.

Actor Sarah Lancashire donated her police hat and shoulder numbers which raised over £4,000 for #Ukraine at a Halifax Ukrainian Club charity event.

This morning's Intel update from the UK is the grimmest for a while. It seems they expect #Bakhmut to fall soon.

#StandWithUkraine Image
Another 700 dead Russian soldiers according to the daily stats released by #Ukraine.

#RussiansGoHome Image
Central #Kharkiv has been hit by #Russia.

A residential building has been hit, there is a fire now.
Local Governor Sinehubov says initial investigations show the invaders attacked with a S-300 missile.

"Information about the victims and destruction is being specified."
A big hit this morning in #Druzhivka in #Donetsk too.

#Russia says it's a pinpoint strike on redeployed #Ukraine reserves who'd just arrived in the town near #Kramatorsk
It's now known at least three people have been injured in #Russia's latest attack on #Kharkiv.

A 54-year-old woman and two men aged 51 and 55 were wounded. The woman was hospitalised with a shrapnel wound, the men were treated on the spot.

Going out on a limb here with a wild guess.

Rubles? 🇷🇺💰💶

In #Kherson, firefighters have been busy.

More incendiary weapons were used on the city overnight according to local officials

#RussiansGoHome
For all the fuel price caps and sanctions, it's reports like this which show why #Russia isn't suffering like it should be.

#India buys more and more #Russian oil. Then resells as Indian fuel for the west.

A fourth person has been injured in #Kharkiv.
A security guard was treated for minor cuts and bruises.

The four storey residential building was hit with one missile while a 5-storey college building was also struck. Image
The first video from the scene of #Russia's attack on #Kharkiv is very upsetting.

Remarkable seeing this that no-one died. Four injuries.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
A couple of hours ago there was a loud bang in #Belgorod. No explanation from any official in #Russia.

Now rumours are growing it was a Russian aircraft crashing. Trying to find out the truth.
In occupied #Vesele (RU: #Veseloe) 'several' explosions recorded by locals. The village is in #Zaporizhzhia region, about 20km from the oblast border with #Kherson.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
More photos of the carnage wrought by #Russia's missiles in #Kharkiv earlier.

Five people injured as two separate S-300s hit the centre of #Ukraine's second city.

The two buildings hit were a residential block and a college.
#StopRussia ImageImageImageImage
In occupied #NovaKakhovka explosions at a yacht club.

The Maxmarine establishment is a club where #Russia's elite among the invaders are known to enjoy socialising. Could be some interesting losses...

#StopRussia
An upscale restaurant in #Kyiv, next to #Ukraine's Intelligence Dept, was bugged.

Over 10 bugs were found in the Steakhouse, which has been sealed off the now.

Police think the recordings were not directly controlled by #Russia but sold by local traitors.

More shelling this afternoon in #Kherson region.

This is #Beryslav - being hit more and more often from the other side of the river.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine Image
Widely reported in #Ukraine tonight, confirmation @oleksiireznikov is being sacked as Defence Minister.
He'll be replaced by popular Military Intel chief Kyrylo Budanov.

Reznikov will become Minister for Strategic Industries of Ukraine, a big demotion, replacing Pavel Ryabykin.
16 children, abducted by #Russia, have been returned to #Kherson.

Delighted mothers were given the news that their children are safe. 4 months ago the youngsters were sent to #Yevpatoria in #Crimea and looked unlikely to return.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome Image
Those who have lived under #Russia's repression continue to be the ones who respond best to tackling Russian aggression.

#StandWithUkraine #Lithuania

The Head of the Russian Orthodox Church has often been seen as an FSB operativ, and now a Swiss newspaper has proven his links with th KGB.

Patriarch Kirill's duty in the 1970s was to gain influence in the World Council of Churches.

tagesanzeiger.ch/priester-spion…
The @FT says #Russia will begin a new offensive within 10 days, and it's likely to be in #Luhansk from Kreminna.

It's speculation based on troops massing there. The new mobiks could be moved a little south to the #Bakhmut offensive but they do have enough for a wide attack.

Welcome to Thursday's thread with all the important news on Russia's illegal war in Ukraine.

It's Day 1275 - the day Putin openly mocks Trump.
After China + India upped oil purchases, the indicted war criminal ordered his army to bomb a US company in🇺🇦

Let's begin:
Ukraine is recovering from the predicted massive overnight attack.

Russia launched more than 600 missiles and drones.

The mayhem started in the last third of yesterday's exhausting thread. If you missed it, click and scroll here:

So let's break down Russia's aerial attack, which consisted of 40 missiles and 574 drones.

Ukraine's air defence intercepted these missiles:
1/4 Kindzhal hypersonic
0/2 ballistic
12/14 Kalibr cruise
18/19 Kh-101 cruise
0/1 unknown

and 546/574 UAVs = 95%

11 locations were hit. Image

It's Day 1274 of Ukraine's incredible defence of its people, land, culture + shielding many NATO states, next on Putin's hit-list from his long stated dream to reunite the USSR

Somehow Trump & his cults (I nearly misspelled that) seem intent on helping Putin.
Here's the daily🧵
Tuesday was another 50+ post thread, packed full of some more untold insights into Ukraine news and life, including the resurgence of Covid and a language 'foul' on the football field.

But politics and Russian atrocities are omnipresent.
Here's your link
Let me start with an unwanted shock for residents in Poltava, who were warned of a radiation threat this morning, I imagine sparking all sorts of horrific thoughts.

Thankfully, the governor says it was human error, Myrhorod should've had an air alert, not the radiation warning. Image

There's an angry reaction from a wide cross section of society to Trump's compliant acceptance of Putin doing just what he wanted on U.S. soil

Welcome to my🧵on Day 1270 of Russia's war. I've never missed a day, if you want to support my quest for truth

Yesterday proved to be about a 26 hour long thread, which even for me was crazy!

Ukraine had great success striking military targets, while eventually, Putin had great success manipulating Trump.

Here's the link if you're catching up:

It's distasteful seeing leaders pussy-foot around, scared to upset Trump's fragile ego

Zelenskyy's forced to be careful, but Ukraine's always been ready for the unconditional ceasefire Trump first demanded 5 months ago. So no surprise he's travelling to Washington on Monday

It's Alaska Day, or a couple of half-baked Alaskas meeting later as Russia hopes to carve up Ukraine, with Trump's approval.

That's much later on Day 1269 of Putin's war.
As I start this thread at around 02:30 GMT, 05:30 Ukraine, there is a big attack on Russia.
Let the🧵begin
In a rush to get to sleep, so let me waste no further time in giving the link to yesterday's thread.

Both X and BSky have been a bit crappy scrolling through threads. One thing you can do is click my profile and then "replies", click one + scroll up

So, as I posted a few minutes ago at the end of Thursday's thread, a big, successful attack on another oil refinery in Russia.

This time it's the Rosneft plant in the city of Syzran, in Saratov region.

Whoever said 7 days is a long time in politics was dead right.

An about turn from tough guy & threats to TACO queen & Putin's poodle. And the next 7 days is now set to bring another cosy meet between a felon and an indicted war criminal.

It's Day 1263 of THE Ukraine thread:
A later start to Saturday's thread because of a crazily late finish to the last🧵

Fewer than 20,000 views for the first time in weeks on such an important day🤨🤔

So much effort and so little impact some days 😢

President Zelenskyy's damning response to the TrumPutin plan came early in social media posts - the full subtitled video is next in my🧵

As I said last night when Trump announced details, Putin got EVERYTHING he wanted (again) & gave up nothing, not even secondary tariffsImage

Day 1261 - the White House thinks the war in Ukraine is coming to an end.

Especially as the Kremlin has this morning announced Putin and Trump will meet in the coming days.
But is the war criminal just duping the US Pres again and buying more time?

Follow me & today's thread:
Much of Wednesday was taken up with the politics surrounding US envoy Wirkoff's latest chummy chat with Putin.

But then it turned dark, literally as the sun went down, but Ukraine looks to have had the better of the drone exchanges.
Catch up here:

I think we should start with the latest from Moscow on the first of the meetings which most hope will end the war, but few realists believe.

The venue has been arranged - this is from one of Russia's state news agencies. Image
