This is the start of the daily 🧵for Day 386 of #Russia's war of choice in #Ukraine.

For all Wednesday's news, including US pilots volunteering for Ukraine, assassination plot against an EU figure and an unexplained fire on occupied #Berdyansk, click⬇️

I'll start today with #BakhmutHolds.
No big changes to report. #Wagner troops have advanced right into the centre, but it's constantly changing as the cattle get slaughtered and retreat.

Some #Russia channels claim #Khromove on the west of #Bakhmut is captured but not confirmed.
Speaking of slaughter of Russians, the number of invading soldiers killed in the last 24 hours tops 1,000 again. A large number of #Russia's troops died in an attack at #Nevelske 20km from #Avdiivka

High numbers of tanks + artillery systems too, plus the aircraft I noted y'day.
Oooh, the British update today is genuinely interesting and newsworthy!

I hadn't mentioned #Vuhledar (RU: #Ugledar) for a couple of days and here's why. Plus, we know now what RAAM is.

#SlavaUkraini
Worth re-tweeting this from yesterday. Yet another #Wagner cemetery has come to light.

Hopefully the spread on social media, even in #Russia itself will show people how badly the 10-day war is going as we approach day 400.

Politico thinks the US has outlined two options for #Ukraine's spring offensive, with a move east through Donetsk and then south most likely.

But the site also claims #Ukraine has also lost "upwards of 100,000" troops killed.

More explosions in #Russia's border territory of #Belgorod last night.

The Governor claims two #Ukraine missiles were shot down in the early hours of this morning. Some residents say debris fell near a thermal power plant in the city.

#StopRussia
A total of 3 people were injured in #Kherson yesterday in #Russia's regular attacks.

The invaders are said to have carried out 88 attacks, firing 413 shells from heavy artillery and "Grads". #Kherson city was hit 5 times.

This was filmed in #Bilozerka early this morning:
There was a scare on the highway near #Kyiv this morning.

A fuel tanker erupted in flames while at a gas/petrol station in #Boryspil. The lorry was carrying 10,000 litres of fuel.

Firefighters managed to stop the blaze spreading to the building or underground tanks.
More guests arriving in #Ukraine.

Today Prime Minister of #Latvia Arturs Karins arrived at #Kyiv's main railway station.

#StandWithUkraine
#Russia continues to deny a new mass mobilisation, but MobilizationNews channel has now counted at least 40 regions where registration papers have been sent out.

The Kremlin says it's just to check details are up to date, but no-one believes it. Fear is growing.

Wow, in the city of #Rostov the FSB's Border Service building is well alight.

#Russia says there was an accident in a warehouse.
Hopefully arsonists beginning the revolution.
Or maybe just careless smokers again 😉

#RussiaOnFire

The fire at the FSB building in #Rostov-na-Don is so good, you want another angle right?

No problem. Enjoy!
#StopRussia
The Pentagon has just released the video of the moment its MQ-9 Reaper drone was downed over the Black Sea.

Two of #Russia's Su-27 fighter jets do indeed spray fuel on the UAV and then the second one appears to clip the Reaper.

The Kremlin denied its jets hit the drone
#Thailand says it has concluded an extradition agreement with #Russia.

Fighting crime is great yeah. Except I wonder if the Thai people have been told in the Russian constitution they won't extradite anyone. So Thailand is being used. Who's taking the Russian rubles in Bangkok?
Curioser and curioser. This is verbatim a statement from a state news agency in #Russia:

"Law enforcement agencies are checking reports of a possible appearance of an armed group of people in one of the districts of the #Oryol region.

Now the information is not confirmed."
UPDATE from #Rostov where the latest #RussiaOnFire story has occurred.

The Emergency Services are still trying to eliminate the fire at the FSB Border Service building. They claim the blaze was started by faulty electrical wiring.

#StopRussia
Hahaha
#Russia says the sudden agreement with #Thailand has nothing to do with 1000s of young Russians fleeing the country to stay in Thailand!

They claim it will enable them to bring Russian prisoners in Thailand "home"
How many new red notices coming?

#Russia claims #Ukraine has fired 13 shells at Occupied #Donetsk in the last hour.

40km east of the city, in the villlage of #Zugres, something pretty big fell in the street. But who fired it?
#RussiansGoHome #DonetskIsUkraine
Remarkable photograph from #Kherson.

#Russia is accused of hitting the courtyard of a medical facility with fire from drones.

Thankfully, medics and patients seem to have avoided injury.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
A rocket hit #Lysychansk in #Luhansk region today. Here's the aftermath.

The town has switched hands 5 times in 8 years.

#LuhanskIsUkraine
Another occupied town clearing up this evening is #Horlivka (RU: #Gorlovka), just north of #Donetsk in the occupied zone.

#SaveUkraine #RussiansGoHome
#RussiaOnFire

A fire broke out this evening at a steel structure plant in the Leningrad region.

Emergency crews went to the village of #Fedorovskaya, about 300km east of St.Petersburg, saying there was a threat of gas canisters exploding.
In #Kyiv today a tribute to those massacred in #Mariupol

It's exactly one year since one of #Russia's worst war crimes when they deliberately bombed the city's theatre which was being used as a bomb shelter, and which had the word "deti" (children) written outside.

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 Image

Welcome to another daily thread - THE place for honest assessment and analysis of all the news around Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1214 of the full-scale war. I still have an unblemished record - every single day.

Why not show your support with a ☕️?

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.

8 missiles and 272 drones were fired at Ukraine overnight.

ALL Russian missiles were trained on Kremenchuk, but Ukraine claims NONE reached their targets, including 2 x Kindzhals (5 shot, 3 EW)

In addition 252 UAVs were stopped (93%)
140 being shot down, 112 stopped with EW. Image

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
Another milestone is reached.

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. Image

Tuesday 17 June 2025.

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. Image

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.
