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:

#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.

24tv.ua/vibuhi-sevasto…
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.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

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.

Day 1243 of Russia's gross violation of the peaceful world order. Breaking UN Rules and the Geneva Conventions. Doing anything to anyone in a bid to eliminate Ukraine and all its people who won't bow down to the Führer of the 21st century.

Here's yet another daily thread.
Well, for a country at war, it's been a quiet night and day so far in Ukraine.

Mind you, not so in Russia, and the previous 24 hours turned out a little crazy, with a 50-page thread to get your teeth into if you were busy on Saturday:

No missiles were fired at Ukraine overnight, and "only" 57 attack drones.

As Russia fired mostly at soft targets in front line regions, the air defence stats don't look good.

Just 18 UAVs were shot down and 7 stopped by EW, which is 44% Image

I finally made it, to start Saturday's daily thread covering all things about Russia's aggression, not only in Ukraine, but increasingly on all of its enemies.

It's Day 1242, which began after midnight with a mass of objects flying both both sides of the border.
Friday's was another huge thread, not surprising as it encompassed 24 hours from start to end.

Catching up? Click, scroll down to where you left off.

 A massive 35 missiles were fired by Russia, mostly this morning, along with 344 suicide drones.

Ukraine shot down:
7/12 ballistic missiles
7/8 Iskander-K cruise
9/15 Kh-101 cruise

But more interesting is that Ukraine says all the other 7 cruise missiles were disabled by EW Image

Thanks for finding me again!
It's Daily Thread time, Day 1241 of the full invasion of a sovereign nation by a brutal, sadistic, rogue terrorist state.

If we are civilised and want to protect our values, way of life and our children, we have to do everything to stop Russia.
I'm starting the thread before heading off for sleep.

Very healthy numbers of viewers/likes yesterday on both X and BSky.

Some very important articles and videos to read and watch in the thread, take time to scroll through if you missed them on Thursday
Russia's nightly attack was again fairly low key - and no Kyiv did not get attacked despite being "Kellogg-less"

Dnipro, Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia regions were all subject to drone attacks.

In Dnipro at least 3 explosions in Pavlohrad but no news of damage has been revealed.

It's Day 1240 of the war in Europe.

It's also Thursday 17 July, a beautiful mid-summer's day, and on this day 11 years ago Russia murdered almost 300 crew and passengers when shooting down flight MH-17 over occupied Ukraine.

The Terrorism never stopped.
Here's the daily thread Image

Wednesday is well worth catching up on if you missed anything from yesterday's🧵

Numerous new Russian war crimes including a sickening town centre attack during evening rush hour, a Latvian mayor injured in the war the maiden flight of Ukraine's Big Bird
Those who made it to the end of yesterday's thread will know that it was a fairly quiet night in the skies, though Dnipropetrovsk region was targeted.

Only 64 drones were fired by Russia, but 36% got through air defences.

36 were shot down, just 5 simulators or stopped by EW. Image

A very warm welcome and thank you for joining me on Day 1239 of Russia's war of choice, Putin's choice to attempt to remove Ukraine from the map and commit genocide on its people.

Every single day I put all the important news in one handy thread. Here is Wednesday's feed:
Yesterday was Ukraine's Day of Statehood.
Kyiv celebrated with successful attacks on military targets in Russia.

But the night saw more huge drone swarm attacks on a number of Ukrainian cities.
Catch up on anything you missed, here:

A series of cities in Ukraine clearing up this morning after night attacks.

Kharkiv, Kramatorsk, Krivyi Rih, Odesa and Vinnytsia were all hit. So far no authorities have reported any deaths overnight, but there are many injuries.

Day 1238 of the all out war, but also 4,162 days since Putin launched his original invasion in Crimea.

It's Tuesday 15 July and the day after a somewhat deflating series of announcements by Donald Trump.

Let's begin THE daily thread..
All international main stream media are headlining Trump's U-turn on Ukraine.

And while they are correct, none has picked apart the announcements which are more like a left-branch than a 180 turn.

Here's where to find yesterday's news:

1/3
 So Trump has, crucially, for the first time, allowed US weapons to go to Ukraine, so it is a step forward. And while no specifics, let's hope the best long-range weapons are to be given.

But no confirmation about the U.S. using Russia's frozen assets in favour of Ukraine.
