Wednesday is Day 378 of #Russia's horrific and sadistic war on its peaceful neighbour.

As always, the thread is updated throughout the day.
If you missed any #Ukraine/war news yesterday, you can catch up with a click and scroll here⬇️

A dip today in the reported deaths of #Russia's frontline cattle, as well as equipment numbers.

Artillery systems hit is slightly above the daily mean for the whole war.

Figures are #Ukraine estimates for the last 24 hours.
#RussiansGoHome
Iran proven to be supplying #Russia with loads of ammunition as well as killer drones.

Well done to @haynesdeborah and the Sky News team for this report:

news.sky.com/story/irans-al…
Not the most riveting update from London today.

But it does highlight the continuing feud between Prigozhin and Shoigu, which is boiling up nicely and will end up with one, maybe both, careers in ruin.
#StandWithUkraine
Tricky day for me to update - leaving Dubai and in the airport now. So sorry for delays, but there's not too much happening in #Ukraine right now

UN Gen Sec @antonioguterres has arrived in #Kyiv for talks about renewing the grain deal which ends soon, #Russia wants a better deal
One thing which does continue day-in, day-out in #Ukraine is de-mining

Telegram channel kyiv_polit reports that after 10 months of work, they've only made safe 2% of the landmines and other explosives left by #Russia.

Even today locals in the Buchansky district found new bombs.
International Women's Day is being celebrated in #Russia where it's a national holiday.

It's becoming less important in #Ukraine.
I particularly like these posters "I don't want flowers, I want my Ukraine."
#RussiansGoHome
Yesterday was the first day since 24 February 2022 when not a single citizen was injured or killed in #Donetsk, according to the local head of #Ukraine's administration.
In case you were wondering, #BakhmutHolds.

Bad news from #Avdiivka though where photos are being posted of the latest damage from shelling.

#DonetskIsUkraine #RussiansGoHome
#Russia has arrested the ex-mayor of #Belgorod (which borders #Ukraine).

Anton Ivanov is accused of taking bribes.
The real question is who did he fall out with and why because if they arrest officials for taking bribes there will be no mayors, no officials, no Kremlin!
#Germany's Defence Ministry says 18 German + 3 Portuguese "Leopard 2" tanks, along with brigades, will be sent to #Ukraine before the end of month.

#StopRussia
A decent read here showing one aspect of how things have changed for both #Ukraine and #Russia, especially since the hit on #Tuapse just over a week ago.

navalnews.com/naval-news/202…
Slower than it's F1 tyres, but finally Germany's @continentaltire has said it will leave #Russia.
Finally back home to quickly update on what's happened while I was airborne, and probably the first thing to report is happening now in #Georgia.

Protesters demands for legislation to be repealed within an hour were not met, so they're reportedly storming parliament in Tblisi.
Water cannons, tear gas and now rubber bullets reportedly fired in Tblisi to stop the Georgia protesters.

Huge amounts of gas in the centre, with some even leaking into the metro station and those trying to escape are still spluttering and struggling to breathe.
#GeorgiaProtests
No surprise to hear Donald Trump admit "in the worst case, I could agree that they (#Russia) seized something", i.e. let them keep illegally captured lands and be rewarded for terrorism, adding "in #Ukraine there are certain areas that are Russian-speaking."
#Ukraine's Intelligence service releases this video of its Special Forces taking out a Russian "flamethrower" while it was firing at Ukraine.

#Russia's "Solntsepek" was hit with an attack drone, but the date and location are not provided.

#StopRussia
A Russian rapper who went to the frontline in #Donetsk may have been killed.

"Ptakha" (real name David Nuriev) went to give a concert for troops. When they came under fire from #Ukraine forces, this happened.
His phone is now switched off with no communication since.
A couple of people sent me this video earlier and I did laugh out loud.

#Ukraine soldiers being surrounded on the frontline is not usually a laughing matter...
The #Ukraine soldier murdered in cold blood, has been named. Oleksandr Matsievsky was a member of the 163rd battalion of Chernihiv region

His mum knew of his death, but not the circumstance
His body was returned 3 weeks ago. Oleksandr's last words to her were "I won't surrender"
#Switzerland once again hampers the Allies' effort to arm #Ukraine.

Earlier the lower House of the Swiss Parliament rejected a proposal to ease the ban on the re-export of ammunition.

Half of June has already gone and still no resolution to the war in Ukraine. But Moscow is reaping what is sows.

This is THE daily thread for Tuesday - all the news every single day.

We've reached Day 1574
I keep garnering new followers, but X keeps taking followers away without them choosing to unfollow.
But daily views of the thread are slowly increasing again, now around 12k a day.
But we used to be at 25-30k

Y'day was another important and long thread:
1/2
 Ukraine delivered a message to Moscow during the night. The message was delivered by Dr One in spectacular fashion.

Here's the translated meaning of Magyar's team, the day after Ukraine's most important religious site was hit by the war criminals. Image

It's Day 1573 and the attempted genocide by Russia continued through the night.

Killing the people of Ukraine, its first responders and the most sacred religious site in the country.

The world looks on, shaking its head. If Putin's Nazism isn't stopped, it will reach you soon.
This is THE daily thread with fact-checked news of everything that's happening in Ukraine (and Russia).

The overnight attack by Russia was already underway when I finished Sunday's thread - here's the link if you missed anything on a busy day:

1/3
 The main temple of Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra is over 1,000 years old.

The Assumption Cathedral was built in 1078, three centuries before Moscow existed.

The Mongols badly damaged it in the 13th century.
700 years later it was blown up in WWII
Now the new Nazi invaders did this:

Day 1560 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and this morning Russia's predicted massive attack has arrived.

Multiple civilians have been murdered and the number is growing.
As I always say, this happens because we in the west have been too weak to stop it.

Here's the daily🧵
There was a lot of destruction yesterday too, though Ukraine stuck to hitting military logistics and fuel targets.

It's caused continuing near-panic for invading Russians, and results can be seen at gas stations.
Catch-up here:

1/2
 This morning, not just Kyiv badly attacked.
In fact, at the moment, more people are known to have died in Dnipro then the capital and that's where I'll start.

5 killed and 25 injured there plus 3 more wounded in Kamianske in the wider region. Image

Hello again.
Day 1552. A holiday in many countries "Whit Monday" in most, Spring holiday in others (inc UK) and Memorial Day in the U.S

But after 4 years and 3 months, memorials are still being made in Ukraine because our leaders, collectively, let them down.
Here's the daily🧵
I'm still not quite sure where Saturday ended and Sunday began - the days merged into one for me.
What I do know is there were >120 new posts over the 48 hours, that's an average one story every 24 minutes, over the entire two days.

Here's Sunday's link:
1/2
 There are new murderous attacks by Russia already today in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Explosions have been heard in the city of Dnipro after an alert for ballistic missiles. Smoke can be seen, but no initial news of widespread damage, so hopefully air defence did its job. Image

Here we go again then. Day 1550 of Ukrainians wondering if they, their home, their relatives, will be bombed today.

About 16 million people have been born in the US and 15m in the EU since Russia started its full invasion of Ukraine.

Welcome to Saturday's daily🧵
Friday was a cracking thread, with vodka cheaper than a single tomato, legless Russians celebrating, Moscow claiming a college in occupied Luhansk wasn't housing Rubicon pilots and their drones and Ukraine causing more mayhem deep inside Russia.

#UkraineSanctions have been successfully employed again!

Lots of action in Russia last night, even before I closed the thread. Around 8am this morning another Ukraine strike in Perm' region, a distance of about 1700km.

Day 1549 of the madness that is Russia's war

Putin's gone from the expected capture of Kyiv before the end of Feb 2022 & annihilation of Ukraine's leaders & the country's culture, to begging China to keep it afloat & trying to quell dissenters at home as bombs fall!
The daily🧵
A quick reminder, everything I do is free. No extra content behind paywalls or subscriptions.

Every single day, documenting everything important about the war and about Ukraine. Still never missed a day. If you are able to support here's the link:

Thursday's thread was another fairly long one, with over 40 posts and many encouraging for Ukraine.

Vyshyvanka day proved to be a good one, unless you're supporting invaders, as they suffered myriad setbacks including 100 in one hit.
