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.

#BakhmutHolds

Even the British MoD is coming round to the idea that #Russia may have "lost momentum"

#SlavaUkraini
Very high numbers of #Russia's soldiers dying again in the last 24 hours*

But equipment losses well down.

*According to #Ukraine stats
It's ben announced that 3 people died in last night's drone attack there was an attack on #Kyiv region.

In #Rzhyshchev, two hostels and a college were damaged. 7 other people are hospitalised, including an 11 year old girl.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
The #UK Foreign Sec. has rubbished claims of nuclear escalation following y'day's news of Britain supplying uranium-depleted ammunition to #Ukraine.

James Cleverly says "The only country in the world that is talking about nuclear issues is Russia. There's no threat to #Russia"
Many strange "goings-on" in #Sevastopol this morning.

The occupied independent city on #Crimea, home to #Russia's Black Sea fleet, seems to have been subject to a marine-drone attack.

Multiple explosions. A nice round-up here with timeline and videos.

Sadly a fourth person has now died following the drone attack in #Kyiv last night. His body was recovered from the rubble of the dormitory in #Rzhyshchiv about 80km south-east of the capital itself.

Rockets have smashed into a multi-storey apartment block in #Zaporizhzhia.

Casualties unknown at this stage.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
This weekend is "Freedom Day" (seriously) in #Belarus, and an opposition group has said a 'security operation' in which a foreign saboteur was killed, was all staged.

BYPOL claims the "foreign terrorist" was likely a KGB stooge, citing various evidence:

Back to #Zaporizhzhia and a couple of videos to show you from the scene of #Russia's missile attack on another apartment block.

18 people have been injured, four of them seriously.
Two children aged 7 and 9 are among those taken to hospital.

I am guessing "plausible deniability" again will be the excuse from #Russia for the attack on civilian apartments in #Zaporizhzhia (RU: #Zaporozhe)

However some RU channels already trying to blame #Ukraine's air defence!

#RussiaIsATerroristState
President @ZelenskyyUa has today visited #Ukraine's forward positions near #Bakhmut.

He listened to reports on the operational situation and the course of hostilities and presented many Defenders of Bakhmut with awards.

#StandWithUkraine #BakhmutHolds
UPDATE: from #Kyiv region now.

Someone filmed the moment #Russia's kamikaze drone smashed into the apartment block in #Rzhyshchiv (RU: #Rzhishchev)

As well as the four who died, more than 20 wounded are in hospital and there are fears more may still be trapped in the rubble.
Looks like a bit of trouble brewing "down under" with Australia's NAFO going on the offensive!

#Japan is stepping up it's help for #Ukraine

Parliamentarians dipped into their own pockets to raise $1.2m in aid, while 20 vehicles were purchased for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

All of #Ukraine, indeed all of the boxing world is very disappointed at this news.

Details emerging... Fury's camp were not happy with their 70% slice of the pie whereas multi-weight undefeated champ Usyk was happy with 30%😲

Another 3 bodies have been dragged from the rubble of the apartment block in southern #Kyiv region.

That takes the death toll to 7.

1 person died in today's horrific attack on residential quarters in #Zaporizhzhia

21 were wounded, 2 children among them

The impact, seen here, happened before air raid warnings sounded. #Ukraine says it's because they were hit by MLRS, taking just seconds from launch to impact
#Russia seems to be calling up tanks which are "older than Putin"

The T-54 came into commission in 1946. Here 54s and 55s are on the move from the far east of Russia.

There seems no point moving them unless they're heading to the front, in whch case they must be desperate?
A video's emerged supposedly showing #Ukraine's attack on occupied #Sevastopol in the early hours of this morning.

One particularly big explosion is clearly visible.
#Russia said they destroyed 3 naval drones - but we know not to believe what the Kremlin says!

#SlavaUkraini
This looks interesting in #Donetsk.

It was snapped in the Kuibyshivskyi district of the occupied city.

#DonetskIsUkraine
#RussiaOnFire

Yet another 'mysterious' fire at a military recruiting office.

This is in the city of #Svobodny in the #Amur region.
There was an arson attempt on the same enlistment office 6 months ago which damaged the facade of the building.

#StopRussia
Thank you to Constance who's supported me again in my work here. Sipping my coffee right now! 💙💛

#SlavaUkraini everyone!
The International Ice Hockey Federation is NOT readmitting #Russia and #Belarus.

A big blow for Putin and Lukashenko who both claim it's among their favourite sports.

Thank you also today to all the contributors who've suggested stories for inclusion in the thread. As always Carolynne and Renée are two of my biggest helps, digging out stories I may have missed.

DMs open for suggestions.💙💛
Trouble in #Russia's #Kursk region now?

Sketchy CCTV from the area which borders #Ukraine.

#StandWithUkraine
The news from #Kyiv region has got progressively worse throughout the day.

Bodies continued to be pulled from the rubble of the apartment block hit by #Russia overnight.

8 people died in the strike in #Rzhyshchiv, seven others are in hospital.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Putin is in a spot of bother. The man wanted for war crimes is due to visit South Africa for the BRICS conference later this year

#SouthAfrica signed the Rome Statute on War Crimes. Legislation became law in 2002. They HAVE to arrest Putin if he arrives
Prince William today visited troops on the #Poland-Ukraine border.

His two-day trip is to say thanks to British and Polish soldiers for help in supporting #Ukraine

theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/m…
Busy day for President #Zelenskyy who was in #Bakhmut earlier in the day and this afternoon went to #Kharkiv in the north east of the country.

#Ukraine's leader presented the honour of "hero city" to the Mayor Ihor Terekhov and held further meetings.

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.
