Everything according to plan for #Putin in the mission to take #Kyiv in 3-4 days!
I get the feeling discontent inside the Kremlin is growing. #Russia's leader is in danger of being cornered and needs a 'result' in #Ukraine.
#Ukraine's General Staff report #Russia's Occupiers have had to double the number of beds in its military hospitals in #Luhansk
That's despite all the currently wounded officers being flown out of the war zone by helicopter last week. Ukraine says there's a lack of medical staff
1/2 #Russia did attack #Ukraine overnight with some success, although the worst damage may have been avoided when, as I reported last night, two Kh-59 missiles aimed at #Odesa were shot down.
The death toll is now five. They were murdered by #Russia when it targeted the civilian safe-spot of the "Invincibility Point" in the town in #Donetsk this morning.
The bodies of 3 women and 2 men were removed from the rubble.
#Ukraine has handed back to #Russia all seriously wounded prisoners of war.
This is NOT a prisoner exchange.
Kyiv has unilaterally repatriated the seriously ill as per the Geneva Convention.
Nothing to see here... just a man of the church in #Russia kicking a female pensioner in #Moscow.
As a defacto branch of the FSB, anyway connected with the Moscow patriarch of the Orthdox Church seems to feel they are invincible from any crimes in #Putin's Russia.
#Estonia expels a diplomat from #Russia for spreading propaganda and causing divisions in Estonian society.
Indeed, I understand #Ukraine has completely unblocked the minor road O-0506 to the west of #Bakhmut. That's the route to #ChasivYar and crucial for keeping supply lines open.

One man's died, another is badly wounded by enemy shelling in #Kherson.
They were hit while on the river as #Russia shelled the embankment area. A 55 year old died with shrapnel wounds to his chest. A 77 year old has injuries to his chest + limbs.
Oleksandr Matsievskyi may have gone, but will never be forgotten. A hero of #Ukraine, he was gunned down by Russian soldiers for saying "#SlavaUkraini"
Now some talented guys have painted a mural of Oleksandr in #Rivne.
A British spy plane, accompanied by two RAF fighter jets, have been spotted in the Black Sea, a little south of #Crimea, in international waters.
Bloomberg says #SouthAfrica is "unlikely" to arrest #Putin if he arrives for the BRICS conference.
That means the government breaking its pledge to fulfill the Rome charter it signed up to and defying the International Criminal Court order to detain the suspected war criminal.
1/2 #Ukraine has reacted angrily this evening to reports by the @UN earlier today which alleged executions of Prisoners of War, beatings and arbitary detention and mistreatment of civilians on BOTH sides in the war.
#Ukraine's ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets points out that the UN has had 100% access to Prisoners of War while #Russia has not anyone visit a single war detainee.
Furthermore Mr Lubinets points out there is no proof in the reports, which are based solely on word of mouth.

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!"
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 😥
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.
