It's Sunday 19 February and this is the start of another thread on #Russia's illegal war.

#Ukraine continues to fight for its very existence.
This is another daily thread with all the news, all day.

Here's the link for yesterday's thread:

Starting today with a video which came out last night, supposedly showing a snapshot of the ongoing power-battle inside #Russia's war effort. This even extending to the troops now as #Wagner's mob of mercenaries comes up again "official" Russian army troops in #Ukraine
Here are the daily losses for #Russia in its bid to obliterate #Ukraine and its people.

Numbers well down across the board, except for the two cruise missiles which were hit, though the other two landed in #Khmelbytskyi.

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine
Today's update from the UK MoD is strictly in the "weekend" category. Pretty old news here for regular Ukraine watchers:
Interesting to note a news report in #Crimea - why would they suddenly need a new hospital?

In #Sevastopol there will be a blood transfusion specialist service and an oxygen station among other medical needs.

Looks like many incoming new mobilised visitors are due.
In occupied #Berdyansk there's a strong fire that looks like fuel is burning. No reports of rockets hitting there.

This is right on the southern tip of the city, jutting into the sea.

#StandWithUkraine
Heavy shelling in the centre of occupied #Donetsk today - at least three people are reported to be injured.

The prosecutor's office caught fire and residential buildings and a library were also hit.

#DonetskIsUkraine
A lot of damage to residential areas is reported by Occupiers in #Donetsk.

Some #Ukraine channels are saying it's a provocation and #Russia is firing on its "own", but there's no proof either way yet.

#RussiansGoHome
In #Kramatorsk two missiles have hit.

A film crew of FREEDOM TV witnessed of the arrival. Thick smoke rises in the city now.

#DonetskIsUkraine #SaveUkraine
More thick smoke in an occupied are of #Ukraine.

This is in #Tavriisk, in the Russian controlled part of #Kherson region, near Kakovka.

#KhersonIsUkraine #StopRussia
#Ukraine has shot down another Russian Su-25 jet.
It's the 299th plane downed in a year.

The news came in the Gen Staff evening update, saying "Ukrainian defenders shot down an enemy Su-25 aircraft, 2 Orlan-10 type unmanned aerial vehicles and a Lancet-3 kamikaze drone."
Four people have suffered wounds after shelling in #Kharkiv region today.

Two women aged 32 + 50 were hospitalised in Liptsi village.

A 45-year-old woman was injured by shrapnel in Vovchansk near #Chuhuiv, and a man aged 40 was injured during shelling of #Kruhliakivka.
I got a positive response yesterday to the photos I posted on the 9th anniversary of the start of the massacre on #Maidan in #Kyiv.

The day after the first mulitple killings of protesters in 2014, the violence continued on the 19 Feb. Again all my own photos.
An investigation's been launched in #Ukraine after a man died one month after mobilisation.

Friends of Bohdan Pokitka say he had no training and died at the front just 4 days after being sent to the contact line.

#RussiaOnFire

A large blaze earlier today in the #Penza region.

This time a furniture factory burned down in the city of #Kuznetsk. No injuries reported.

thx @CarolynnePries1
#Ukraine has accused #Russia of blocking the rotation of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) experts at the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in occupied #Enerhodar.

#StopRussia

#Kherson was once again hit by incendiary weapons tonight.

Chat sites are full of videos like this. In a populated area these sort of thermite munitions are outlawed.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
The new Prime Minister of #Moldova has called for the puppet #Russia controlled 'state' of #Transnistria to be demilitarised.

Dorin Recean said "it is necessary to expel Russian troops and then integrate the inhabitants of the region economically and socially."

#RussiansGoHome
In occupied #Donetsk, something is burning in the Kyivsky district of the city.

Hello again. Day 1203 of Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine

Anyone with a brain slightly larger than that of a chihuahua knows it. Russian history and Putin's own words spelt it out, but peaceniks, Naziniks and idiotniks are still in denial

More proof coming up in🧵for Day 1203
Yesterday's thread lasted well over 24 hours, but nothing to be proud of.

I know I'm crazier than you, and thankfully you all have lives to live. So you will be needing the link to the start of yesterday's thread so you can catch up on what you missed..

Genocide - a short thread within a🧵
I am simply staggered governments and world organisations are too weak to acknowledge the mountain of evidence.

The recent huge missile attacks should be enough, but useful idiots are fooled by Russia's plausible deniability.

A very early start to my daily thread on Day 1202 of Russia's 3 day 'special operation' to capture Kyiv.

It's so special Putin just doesn't want it to stop!

It's another no-sleep night as I start Monday's news feed on all things Ukraine.

Thanks for your support, I rely on you
Another huge Russian attack continues as I type. It could be the biggest yet.

The attack started about half way through yesterday's thread! So catch up here if you're just waking up.

The biggest problem in Ukraine tonight has been for Dubno, in Rivne region.

Heavily attacked in the evening, but now as light bathes the town, it's even worse. All cruise missiles in Ukraine are about to hit, and 3 drones too.

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

Despite gaining under than 51% of the vote, the tRUmp-aligned Nawrocki can now veto any legislation passed by @donaldtusk & the liberal govt Image

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!
1/3
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...
