#Russia's forward momentum in #Ukraine appears to have stalled and splits and tensions are starting to show among the illegal invaders, from the top down.
Here's another daily thread with #Ukraine news updated throughout the day.
As usual, here's a handy link to yesterday's thread for those who missed anything, such as some tasty fires, a kicking 'priest' and sadly, more war crimes and devastation.
Just 140km from the border with #Ukraine another warehouse is ablaze.
This is in the town of #Aksay near #Rostov.
Russian Emergency servies will only say "cellulose products" are burning and the fire now covers 1,200m sq.
Another prominent opposition politician in #Russia has been poisoned. The FSB seems to prefer poisoning (Yushchenko, Navalny, Skripal et al).
Now one of the few anti-Putin voices who stayed in Russia, Elvira Vikhareva, has also been targeted. Translation of @Sota_Vision's story:
Evidence of high-tech measures from the FSB in occupied #Melitopol.
As partisan attacks become more frequent, those super smart intelligence officers from #Russia decided to glue-shut drainage and sewer hatches so Ukrainians can't place explosives😂🤡
However, there's a chance Ukraine could be thrown out of the tournament for political interference.
UAF President Andriy Pavelko was a former MP with @poroshenko's party and is under investigation for corruption
I am trying to get an interview with Pavelko who maintains the accusations are politically motivated, but has not spoken since apparently being arrested in November.
Last month a court tried to suspend him from the role of #Ukraine's football President.
Never nice to see people supporting #Ukraine exposed as charlatans. There's a lot of bitterness and sometimes false accusations so I steer clear until the truth comes up.
But now this has to be exposed and continued investigations 😟
In the early days of the war I used to report frequently on the daily speeches to the nation of #Ukraine's President @ZelenskyyUa. I haven't done so for a while, but here's a translation of this evening's address.
I think cautious optimism is the tone. #SlavaUkraini
#Germany is on the brink of expelling 30+ diplomats from #Russia.
Nancy Faeser, chief of Federal Criminal Police, said in a recent interview that "Russian secret services were constantly attacking and decisive action must be taken against Moscow's spies." focus.de/politik/deutsc…
Flames at the "Fregate" plant in Voskresensk in #Moscow region. Apparently it's the largest factory for the production of secondary lead, which may have some military use.

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
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.
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
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.
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.
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..
