While #Russia is stalling over agreeing to a 120 day extension of the grain deal, the Terrorist State is secretly stealing Ukrainian grain and exporting it from #Crimea according to the RIAMelitopol channel.
They publish these photos they claim show Occupiers loading the grain.
The figures for #Russia's daily losses again show a very big number of artillery systems destroyed by #Ukraine, plus another helicopter downed.
RU soldiers killed is down almost 300 on yesterday but still a very, very high number. #RussiansGoHome
Today's Intel update from Britain seems to point to good news for #Ukraine.
However, I think it's important to point out the reality of the situation in both #Bakhmut and #Avdiivka, which is critical, heavy losses on both sides despite limited ammo for both #Russia and Ukraine.
On a similar point, last night #Ukraine confirmed that it had demoted a Commander who talked about horrific losses.
"Kupol" said of 500 men, 100 died and the rest were wounded.
The Army said his numbers were exaggerated and he wasn't authorised to speak to the media.
#Belgium has announced new support for #Ukraine in the form of hundreds of military trucks.
The first batch of 240 Volvo Cargo, Volvo Shelter, Volvo Fassi and Volvo Manumat trucks will be delivered next week.
The so-called leader of occupied #Donetsk has secretly purchased a house in #Brazil.
Immediately after #Kherson was liberated, #Russia's installed head of the illegal "republic" seems to have made plans for his own exit, with a 550 sq metre property in the south of the country.
The curfew in #Kyiv is being reduced next weekend, to coincide with the changing of the clocks.
It will then only be illegal to be on the streets between 00:00 and 05:00
The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant against Vladimir Putin.
The court says Putin "is allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation... and unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of #Ukraine."
The I.C.C. has also issued a warrant for the arrest for Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova. She is #Russia's commissioner for children’s rights.
She boasted on video she had personally taken a boy from #Ukraine.
Be fun if President Xi announced he was cancelling his trip to #Russia as he couldn't meet with someone on the War Crimes wanted list!
More heavy damage in the #Donetsk town of #Avdiivka, where #Ukraine is desperately trying to fend off the waves of invaders.
One civilian was injured as #Russia pounded the town with 3 aerial missiles at the city, shelled with grads and then attacked with tank fire. #StopRussia
In occupied #Donetsk shells landed in the Petrovskyi district of the city. No reports of injuries.
Day 388 of the war. The day after the International Criminal Court indicted Putin with a war crime.
Welcome to Saturday's thread with all the news concerning #Ukraine's defence against #Russia's aggression & invasion.
Updated throughout the day so come back and check regularly!
Well Friday was an historic day as the current President of a permanent member of the UN Security Council was charged with a war crime. It will be the first of many.
To read more about that & all yesterday's news about #Russia's was on #Ukraine, click⬇️
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.
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.
It's Wednesday, Day 385 of the war, #Ukraine's existential fight for its' existence.
Here's another daily thread documenting #Russia's ongoing invasion, war crimes and all the news, all the time, updated throughout the day.
If you can support my work, see the link in my bio💙💛
There was a lot of important news on Tuesday.
More awful shelling and missiles fired at #Ukraine citizens. An American drone downed by #Russia's air force, a car bomb attack in occupied #Melitopol and a new #Wagner cemetery.
Firstly reports of explosions in #Sloviansk - probably we will get more details in the morning.
But, while #Bakhmut holds, #Russia is creeping closer to Sloviansk and #Kramatorsk. Confirmed that the invaders have taken the village of #Zaliznyanske, north-west of Bakhmut.
Welcome to another daily thread for Day 384 of #Russia's illegal war on #Ukraine.
In yesterday's thread we heard that the ICC is planning on bringing two war crimes charges against the Kremlin.
If you want to review anything from Monday, it's all here⬇️
It's a wet and windy start to the week where I am, hope it's better where you are.
In #Kyiv + #Bakhmut it's around freezing now (9am) but some very mild days and nights mean a lot of mud on the frontlines later in the week in #Ukraine
I know a lot of people miss things at the weekend.
But you can get a quick catch up of all that happened in #Ukraine yesterday by taking a scroll through the previous thread, and I would urge you to do so, some important news and events in there:
1/2 One thing from yesterday I do want to flag up is this story and what will hopefully become a concerted effort to ban athletes from #Russia from the Olympic Games.
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
