Near #Kreminna towards the north of the active frontline in this war, there is an admission from #Ukraine's Command that #Russia has gained a little ground.
They report enemy units moving forward in the forest with the aid of armoured vehicles. #StopRussia
Meanwhile in #Donetsk the Occupiers reveal a new addition to the war fight.
#Russia seems overly proud of this "armoured train"
I have every confidence #Ukraine knows exactly the direction it's travelling in at all times, and it cannot move sideways to escape missiles.
Ths scene is being repeated quite often in #Russia now
Wives from #Moscow region now complaining “our mobilised are thrown like meat to storm fortified areas; 5 people against 100 well-armed”
They also say men are being trained in artillery but then thrown into assault infantry
#Bakhmut
Not only fighting is risky - if anything it's even more dangerous trying to rescue and evacuate the wounded.
This extraordinary video from Ukraina LIFE shows the difficulties and realities of life (and death) on the front lines.
Smoke seeps across the occupied city of #Donetsk this morning. Local officials say air defences worked, but cannot explain the reports of loud explosions and smoke.
"Unpleasant events east of #Avdiivka. Russians have gained a foothold in Krasnohorivka and are trying to take control of Kamianka.
They cannot take Avdiivka head on so they'll go to Stepovoy and Orlivka in order to surround us."
On the border between #Ukraine and #Belarus, it's "Poster Wars!"
Anyone entering Belarus sees a giant billboard saying "Belarus Remembers" and images of World War 2
Ukraine goes for "We will help Ukraine find real occupiers" and the U.S. flag!
On occupied #Crimea the Occupiers are counting on huge losses continuing for a long, long time.
Newly mobilised here are at least avoiding immediate death as they're being forced to build a new military hospital in #Sevastopol, with more than 20 buildings on the complex.
The exiled Mayor of #Melitopol has told #Ukraine TV's "news marathon" that #Russia started shelling the city it occupies
After reports of 10 explosions yesterday, Ivan Fedorov said Russia's implementing the "Donetsk scenario" - firing at residential quarters then blaming Ukraine

Despite being "close to death", ex-Georgia President tells citizens to "be ready to mobilise at short notice, because of the vengeful mood of the oligarchs' regime."
The pro-Russie govt still refuses to let #Saakashvili leave #Georgia for treatment
Russia's Commissioner for Children's says an agreement's been reached with Kurds, on the "return of another 200 Russian children from Syria in the near future"
What #Russia kids in Syria? Sounds like more kidnappings to me.🇷🇺 is so de-populated forced repatriation is rife.

My morning coffee will be from you!
16 people have been injured in occupied #Luhansk region.
Welcome along to Saturday's edition of my daily threads - the most reliable news source on Ukraine's defence throughout the entire Russian full invasion.
We've reached Day 1228. Every Single Day
Fact checked and analysis by a professional journalist with Ukraine expertise.
I've literally just finished Friday's thread, with an extraordinary flurry of late news from inside Russia rounding off another bumper thread, stretching to 60 posts.
A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.
With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.
Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv
Russia displayed outright Nazism + Fascism on Friday.
From killing in Ukraine, more utterings from the war-criminal in chief, to locking up young women and taking legal action against small independent new sites.
Thursday 19 June is Day 1212 of the conflict in Europe.
Russia continues to make ground, expending its soldiers at will for a few more metres as Ukraine fights for its existence having been shamefully let down by the USA.
I'm here every single day, so here's today's daily 🧵
Wednesday saw the death toll in Kyiv rise throughout the day, ending at double the number it started at. Then later Putin cynically told journalists they only hit military targets
Elsewhere another traitor to Ukraine met his fate - click here to catch-up
Trump is now 150 days late in promising "peace within 24 hours" of taking office.
It's also, as @andrii_sybiha points out, 100 days since🇺🇦 agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, as tRUmp demanded.
Russia did what it always does: delay, lie, kill.
No time to waste. Kyiv is under the most immense attack.
It's Day 1210 of Russia's increasingly desperate attempt to eviscerate Ukraine and all Ukrainians.
Here's the daily thread, continuing to document the night attacks...
Just gone 04:35 in Kyiv.
A hellish night is not yet over.
Apartment blocks, student dormitories hit.
6 districts of Kyiv city damaged, plus other injuries in the wider region
Here's the link for Monday's thread with all the last half showing the chaos:
If you're just waking up, here's an idea of what's happened to Kyiv while you were sleeping.
Ukraine's capital has not slept.
Many are without homes due to Russia's ongoing war crimes and one person, an American, has lost his life during the attack.
