Day 368 of Europe's war and welcome to Sunday's daily thread with all the information you need in one handy🧵

It's still fairly quiet in most of #Ukraine as #Russia continues its illegal war.

Here's the link if you want to catch up on yesterday's events

The death of another American soldier has been confirmed in #Ukraine.

28-year-old Afghanistan veteran Andrew Peters from #Wisconsin died 10 days ago while helping Ukraine defend its territory. Andrew was part of the International Defence Legion.

Each day #Ukraine releases figures for the numbers of Russian soldiers killed and equipment destroyed.

Invariably it's lower at weekends. So today's numbers (covering Saturday's losses) are lower across the board. I'm wondering if a couple of units don't report at weekends?
Ukrainians are saluting a new football hero this morning!
FC Lviv's Oleksiy Dityatyev, at a training base in Turkey, removed #Russia's flag from the flagpole!

He said "Very soon, the Armed Forces will do this in all the occupied cities. In the meantime, let's start with Turkey"
Forbes (note, the #Ukraine edition) estimates that #Russia spent around a third of its entire annual budget on the war.

The authors worked out the bill for the illegal invasion is about $10 billion a month.

#BakhmutHolds.

Let's take another look at #FortressBakhmut, as a remarkable drone video is doing the rounds on the internet.

I cannot vouch for authenticity or date etc., and obviously the soundtrack doesn't match the haunting film.

#Bakhmut Is #Ukraine
More heavy shelling by #Russia in the #Kherson region in the last half hour.

This censored video is from #Komyshany just west of Kherson city, while Bilozerka, just 5km further west is also being pounded.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Hundreds of tons of western aid has been found rotting in warehouses in #Kyiv.

An investigation's been launched into how and why it was "forgotten"

It's estimated 500 tons of food, military equipment, household chemicals, and medicines have been left there. Theft is possible.
It's been revealed that #Germany has given 6 more BIBER bridge-layers and Zetros trucks to Ukraine.

The updated list of aid provided was published this morning by the German government.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Another of #Russia's fighter jets seems to have "denazified" itself.

So far unconfirmed reports that an Su-25 has crashed - the pilot managed to eject safely.
"Within 10 days" #Ukraine will receive 14 transport helicopters from #Croatia

Twelve MI-8 MTV-1 helicopters and two MI-8 T models have been taken out of the Croatian military according to this report, markings have been removed and they're being serviced

A 30 year old Russian corporal from Nizhny Novgorod has reportedly absconded after being mobilised.

He was in #Belgorod region bordering #Ukraine, presumably waiting for transfer to the front line, when he disappeared with a Kalashnikov rifle.
An 82 year old resident of #Kupiansk was injured during the latest shelling of #Kharkiv region.

#Russia also hit the village of Pershotravneve in the #Izium district with artillery. More private homes were damaged.

#RussiansGoHome
#Poltava region in eastern #Ukraine has been criticised by many in the country for its' apparent reluctance to carry out anti-Communism measures.

Now though in #Khorol, local officials dismantled a monument to Soviet General Ivan Tretyak.

#StandWithUkraine
Almost forgot to include the British Intel update, and it's quite interesting today.

In essence it's not news, about the destruction of many of #Russia's elite fighters around #Vuhledar (RU: #Ugledar), but the detail about degraded units will be very encouraging for #Ukraine.
#Ukraine's PM says Government will be reformed with fewer ministries and employees.

Denys Shmyhal noted "Ukraine should not only ask for money, but also demonstrate internal changes."
It's important to ensure it's not just used to oust critics.

Dear @elonmusk,
I saw you refer to ex-President of #Ukraine Yanukovych as having been a victim of a coup. It's very disappointing to see someone with 130m followers repeating #Russia's nonsense. So I wrote this essay to help people understand:

Explosions reported at a military airfield in #Belarus

BYPOL, a group of reformers, says a Russian military transport aircraft and snow-plows were damaged at "Machulyshchi", just 12km from the capital #Minsk

Now, locals say a lot of military and police crews are at the airfield
This is allegedly an employee of #Russia's embassy in Rio de Janeiro, slapping the backside of a young woman who came to protest against the war on #Ukraine.

First he demanded the phone, then chased the other girl, but a policeman then seems to reprimand the employee.
Yet another attack on a military enlistment office in #Russia.

Around 3am in Sosnovy Bor in the Leningradsky Region, a man in dark clothing and a balaclava threw 2 molotov cocktails at the building. Only one caught fire and the premises were reporetdly undamaged.

#StopRussia
#Estonia's Defence Minister arrived in #Kyiv today

@HPevkur came bearing more gifts. A new package given to #Ukraine includes assault rifles, pistols, drones, thermal imaging cameras, generators and chargers, as well as clothing.

Estonia spends 1% of its GDP aiding Ukraine
Met Matt on my last trip to #Ukraine.
Doing good work. Keep it up!

A #Ukraine soldier has been killed in a shootout at the border with #Belarus.

It's reported by the usually reliable DeepState channel. The dead man was a member of the Volyn Territorial Defence, obituaries say he died of a gunshot wound from the territory of Belarus.
More from the attack on the airfield near #Minsk

It seems either #Ukraine or #Belarus patriots attacked an AWACS A-50 aircraft at Machulishchi. This plane is air-defence, used to protect other bombers and fighters.

The photo shows where they think 2 explosions hit the aircraft.
#Ukraine shoots down a 300th Russian plane since the full invasion began.

President @ZelenskyyUa announced in his evening address to the nation "I'm especially grateful to our guys from the 110th separate mechanided brigade, who shot down another enemy plane near #Avdiivka."
The #Russian air warning plane was hit by partisans within #Belarus using drones, according to the Head of the protest group which first reported the incident.

The people responsible for the attack have already left the country according to Aleksandr Azarov.
(post translation)
Air raid warnings in #Kyiv and some other neighbouring regions.

Reports of air defence working in the capital and #Chernihiv with drones, thought to be Iranian shaheeds, attacking
Strong explosion reported in #Zaporizhzhia. Could be two blasts, possibly from S-300 missiles again.
The fear in #Ukraine tonight is that this latest drone attack is a prelude to another large scale missile attack.

#StopRussia
#RussiaOnFire

No photos yet, but reports that a hangar has "exploded" in the north-east of #Moscow after diesel containers exploded.

it's reported that the structure has already partially collapsed.

No injurie reported.
This is the moment a missile is thought to have hit #Zaporizhzhia a little earlier. Still no official confirmation.

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.

We'll find out in today's thread, so let's begin..

So Russia is currently 1233 days behind schedule in its expectation to control Kyiv.

I've documented it here every day. Saturday had some more blatant Russian war crimes, starting with more death and destruction.
