Hello again, welcome to a new week, a new thread and Day 390 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful neighbour.
Updated throughout the day with only the relevant news from #Ukraine and beyond, this is your one-stop guide for the war in Europe.
If you need a catch up on Sunday, here's the link.
Interestingly a couple of people wrote to say my tweets weren't showing up again in their timeline. Sunday saw the fewest views, likes and retweets I can remember 😥
Someone vandalised a wall! Not sure where this is.
A flag of the USSR, which murdered millions. Idiots!
The text says "Thanks Fedyor! You are a man! Russians cannot do otherwise" (Fedyor is the child who was hurt when Russian partisans attacked Berdyansk).
London's daily Intelligence update compares #Avdiivka with #Bakhmut.
My followers have known for a while this is the situation in the more southerly of the hotspots in #Donetsk region. Today's assessment from the UK gives both good and bad news.
Meanwhile Anthony Blinken, the US Sec of State, has slammed the idea of a ceasefire in the war, even before #China's President finished his 'talks' with Putin. And he's dead right, a ceasefire would be disastrous in the long run, #Ukraine remembers from bitter experience.
#Ukraine has received 8 more Leopard 2 tanks plus auxiliary vehicles.
The latest delivery is from #Norway. Its Defence Ministry confirmed the handover has already happened.
The Norwegian govt is also providing funds for ammunition and spare parts.
Air-defence fire can clearly be heard as well as the hum of the drone on some footage.
Here is the best view of the explosion in #Dzhankoy. The person filming suggests the UAV crashed near the railway, so it may have missed target.
#Ukraine's military intelligence claims the explosion in #Crimea hit Kalibr Cruise missiles.
In a statement they describe the blast as "mysterious" while stating #Russia's missiles were bing transported by rail to the military base at #Dzhankoy.
Hello and welcome to Wednesday's thread with all the news that matters, and a little analysis, from the war in #Ukraine
#Russia's brutal, illegal invasion continues and you can find the news here, updated throughout the day. Please share/retweet as my shadowban continues!
💙💛
Today is Day 392.
There was quite a lot of activitiy last night with #Russia launching a missile attack on #Odesa (RU: #Odessa) and drone attacks across #Ukraine.
To find out what you missed, click and scroll here:
Monday was pretty quiet and this morning has started the same way in #Ukraine, with no major news to report overnight, with no update on the drone attack in #Crimea
So let's look at #Russia's daily losses. Almost 1,000 troops: tanks and artillery system numbers above average too
The British daily update uses polite language to effectively say "can you imagine what it's going to be like in #Russia in coming months: psychopaths, drug abusers and thieves are back on the streets, with many of them now suffering PTSD too. Good luck!"
1/2 Bunker Boy emerged from the Kremlin yesterday, turning up in #Crimea, which he likes to do to celebrate anniversaries of the capture.
Putin also survived a trip to occupied #Mariupol', where he allegedly met with locals, but on footage I saw it was all officials.
2/2 What I find interesting is how the Kremlin tried to make out #Putin had driven to #Crimea, and again today they're at pains to show footage of him "driving around #Mariupol."
I believe this shows there's serious concern in Moscow about his health, so he must prove he's fit.
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⬇️
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
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.
