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.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome Image
#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

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

Thanks for finding me again!
It's Daily Thread time, Day 1241 of the full invasion of a sovereign nation by a brutal, sadistic, rogue terrorist state.

If we are civilised and want to protect our values, way of life and our children, we have to do everything to stop Russia.
I'm starting the thread before heading off for sleep.

Very healthy numbers of viewers/likes yesterday on both X and BSky.

Some very important articles and videos to read and watch in the thread, take time to scroll through if you missed them on Thursday
Russia's nightly attack was again fairly low key - and no Kyiv did not get attacked despite being "Kellogg-less"

Dnipro, Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia regions were all subject to drone attacks.

In Dnipro at least 3 explosions in Pavlohrad but no news of damage has been revealed.

It's Day 1240 of the war in Europe.

It's also Thursday 17 July, a beautiful mid-summer's day, and on this day 11 years ago Russia murdered almost 300 crew and passengers when shooting down flight MH-17 over occupied Ukraine.

The Terrorism never stopped.
Here's the daily thread Image

Wednesday is well worth catching up on if you missed anything from yesterday's🧵

Numerous new Russian war crimes including a sickening town centre attack during evening rush hour, a Latvian mayor injured in the war the maiden flight of Ukraine's Big Bird
Those who made it to the end of yesterday's thread will know that it was a fairly quiet night in the skies, though Dnipropetrovsk region was targeted.

Only 64 drones were fired by Russia, but 36% got through air defences.

36 were shot down, just 5 simulators or stopped by EW. Image

A very warm welcome and thank you for joining me on Day 1239 of Russia's war of choice, Putin's choice to attempt to remove Ukraine from the map and commit genocide on its people.

Every single day I put all the important news in one handy thread. Here is Wednesday's feed:
Yesterday was Ukraine's Day of Statehood.
Kyiv celebrated with successful attacks on military targets in Russia.

But the night saw more huge drone swarm attacks on a number of Ukrainian cities.
Catch up on anything you missed, here:

A series of cities in Ukraine clearing up this morning after night attacks.

Kharkiv, Kramatorsk, Krivyi Rih, Odesa and Vinnytsia were all hit. So far no authorities have reported any deaths overnight, but there are many injuries.

Day 1238 of the all out war, but also 4,162 days since Putin launched his original invasion in Crimea.

It's Tuesday 15 July and the day after a somewhat deflating series of announcements by Donald Trump.

Let's begin THE daily thread..
All international main stream media are headlining Trump's U-turn on Ukraine.

And while they are correct, none has picked apart the announcements which are more like a left-branch than a 180 turn.

Here's where to find yesterday's news:

1/3
So Trump has, crucially, for the first time, allowed US weapons to go to Ukraine, so it is a step forward. And while no specifics, let's hope the best long-range weapons are to be given.

But no confirmation about the U.S. using Russia's frozen assets in favour of Ukraine.
