Another weekend; we've reach Day 360 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.

The daily threads keep coming to ensure you're up to date with all the important news. Already today #Ukraine has been attacked by Cruise missile attack

Details coming up on this, huge 🇷🇺deaths + #RussiaOnFire
First a link to yesterday's thread in case you missed anything, including important news from #Bakhmut at the end of Friday.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Shortly before dawn, #Russia fired 4 Kalibr cruise missiles from its Black Sea fleet.

#Ukraine says two were shot down.

However, #Khmelnytskyi has been hit.
Two people have been wounded.

#UkraineUnderAttack
No photos yet from #Khmelnytskyi in west #Ukraine, which has been hit with with cruise missile(s) this morning.

The Mayor Oleksandr Simchishin confirms 2 injured and say 10 apartment blocks and 3 educational institutions have been damaged.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
First photo from the city in western #Ukraine of the destruction wrought by a cruise missile on a Saturday morning.

A reminder two injured in the blast.

.. And a video of the damage caused to one of the multi-storey apartment blocks in central #Khmelnytskyi this morning.

#Russia fired four Cruise missiles at #Ukraine shortly before dawn.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia #UkraineUnderAttack #SaveUkraine
Another huge total of #Russia's army killed in the last 24 hours according to #Ukraine's official figures.

Think it's the thitd 1000+ day.
Meanwhile the number of tanks desstroyed reaches 3,300.

#RussiaOnFire

In the early hours of this morning someone seems to have been smoking on the job in the city of #Ufa.

This is the Krezol chemicals factory. How sad.
Worryingly, #Russia's war bloggers have stepped up another regular false narrative around the use of chemical weapons. They did the same in #Syria, then gassed the rebels.

The latest is this "discovery" of "unknown" toxic substances fired by #Ukraine in #Vuhledar (RU: #Ugledar) ImageImageImage
Despite the fact #Russia is commiting war crimes, starting wars and is an international pariah, two Brazilian footballers have applied for Russian passports.

Zenit midfielders Malcolm + Claudinho have made no public comment yet.

#Ukraine's Nuclear Energy agency says #Russia committed "an act of nuclear terrorism" today.

Energoatom says two enemy cruise missiles flew over the South Ukrainian nuclear power plant, dangerously close to the nuclear facility and a worldwide "nuclear catastrophe"

#StopRussia Image
Another fun tale of #Russia's mobilised.

Can't really feel any sympathy for these guys who claim they were trained in artillery, then sent to #Donetsk and told they'd be infantry.

Oh, and now they are effectively blackmailed each day to avoid being sent to the front.
Today marks 8 years since the #Debaltseve massacre.

136 of #Ukraine's soldiers were killed after holding out for weeks in the #Donetsk town, against four-times greater forces, and eventually being surrounded.

And Nine year ago today #Ukraine's then President gave the order to open fire on protesters from the peaceful Maidan camp.

I was there. One morning I woke to bodies lined up outside my apartment in central Kyiv.

Two days later #Russia invaded #Crimea.

Officials in #Khmelnytskyi admit #Russia's 2nd missile hit a "military facility" in the city

Regional Head, Serhiy Hamaly confirmed the news while also giving an update on civilian victims, a man and a woman, both stable in hospital. The man was in a minibus when hit by shrapnel Image
This is said to be proof of #Ukraine destroying a new type of Russian "Grad" for the 1st time.

In the occupied part of #Zaporizhzhia, US high-precision M982 Excalibur took out the "Grad" 2B26, a modernised version of the 2B5 combat vehicle, tranferred from Ural to KamAZ chassis. ImageImage
1/2
As I mentioned earlier, it's 9 years since the start of the massacre on #Maidan. I was among the protesters in #Kyiv that night and the subsequent days as the President of #Ukraine, forced by #Putin to back down on his promise to join Europe, ordered the killing of civilians. ImageImage
2/2
My photos from 18/2/04, clockwise:
1 The #Maidan Revolution HQ had been reclaimed by the govt.
2 We brought ladders, anthing which would burn - smoke stopped the snipers
3 Govt thugs firebombed a medical centre
4 New roadblocks set up by protesters ImageImageImageImage
Don't be misled by this.
#UK is NOT giving fighter jets, really we can't.
But the strong message of support may help other nations which do have jets.

With aerial support #Ukraine can better protect tanks and defend the skies

Day 1201 of Europe's war.
But the pre-conflict hybrid war has already been waging worldwide for years. Hacking, election interference, sabotage - we're all targeted by Russia, even if we don't all realise it yet.

Ukraine can stop the war criminal with our help.
Welcome to the🧵
Maybe Sunday will bless Ukraine with a quiet day?

Saturday was another full-on journalistic stint, catching sleep when I could.
Kharkiv shattered overnight then a daytime attack on a kids' railway.
Operation Web 2.0 & a factory hit in Russia.
It's all ⬇️

Early this morning, just before the end of the previous thread I showed the Azot chemical plant in Tula region on fire.
Not long afterwards, Ukraine hit another facility, this time in Russia-controlled 🇺🇦

This is the Hydromash factory in Melitopol' in occupied Zaporizhzhia.

Welcome to yet another daily thread covering all things Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1195 and the day of the latest talks between the sides in Istanbul.

But all the buzz is still about one of the most incredible and successful military attacks ever, and Russia is hurting.
Ukraine's astonishingly well planned, daring and audacious attack is front page news around the world this morning.

If somehow you don't know what I am writing about, you're in for a treat. Re-live the extraordinary day by scrolling through Sunday's🧵⬇️

First important news from Poland where the Presidential election has been won by the anti-EU, anti-Ukraine candidate, right-wing Nawrocki

Day 1194 of Putin's war, though let's remember the initial invasion came 11 years ago.

Since February 2014, not once have western sanctions or military support come close to being enough to restore justice and defeat evil.

Welcome to THE daily 🇺🇦 thread for Sunday 1 June
A new day, a new season. Summer officially started, but nothing is likely to change just yet.

Y'day's thread had some great stories, but everything paled into insignificance when justy before midnight came news of a disaster in Russia's Bryansk region:
1/5
I want to start with events in Bryansk region.
What's happened is a tragedy even if you believe all Russians are partly to blame for the war.

7 people died - five passengers on a train and 2 in a truck. 69 were injured.

The lorry crashed down when the bridge collapsed.

Another night of no sleep yet - dramatic action in Moscow.

Time to start another daily thread covering everything to do with Putin's disastrous 'operation' in Ukraine.

It's 5am in Russia and Ukraine, on Day 1190 of the war.
Let's begin...
I've still NEVER missed even one day since the start of Russia's full invasion.

But yesterday's thread ended up being one of the most lively. Another near 50-post story of the day, and if you like seeing "bavovna" in Russia, go right through to the end!

Russia says 33 drones have been shot down approaching Moscow during the night.

The biggest incident is clearly this at the Mikron micro-electronics plant in Zelenograd, in Moscow oblast...

Hello again and welcome to the daily thread for Day 1189 of Russia's illegal war.

While media keep hinting Trump may be about to impose sanctions on Putin's regime, there's still evidence to say he hates Zelenskyy more.

All the news from and about Ukraine in one🧵right here:
As always though, in case you missed anything yesterday, blow is the link to the start of Monday's thread

So if you don't have much time online, just bookmark my profile page and you can always go back to where you left off for a summary of all the news
A much quieter night, but Russia still fired 60 drones into Ukraine. Air Defence managed to stop 43 (35 shot down and 8 disabled via EW)

But that still leaves 17 which made it through, at a very high strike rate of 28%

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
