Sunday is Day 396 of #Russia's illegal war in #Ukraine. Welcome along to Daily Thread 396 with all the conflict news

The public & some politicians lose interest, just as Putin wants. Don't let them!

If you're able to support me, I'll be very grateful💙💛

A fairly quiet day in #Ukraine yesterday, all things considered. But quite a few mysterious fires in #Russia🔥😉

Catch up on anything you missed on Saturday with this link:

#StandWithUkraine

The number of soldiers from #Russia who've died in #Ukraine has passed 170,000 *

It was just 24 days ago that total reached 150k.
The number of tanks and artillery systems destroyed in the last 24 hours is also higher than average.

#RussiansGoHome
* Ukraine govt data
In case anyone thinks this is a "far away" war which doesn't affect them, read this.
Then remember #Ukraine is defending Europe.
Putin/#Russia pick off countries one by one.
This nightmare could be a reality near you soon.

Many reports today about North Macedonia handing over (another) 12 attack helicopters.

It's not news to my followers!
#NorthMacedonia is getting 8 new multi-purpose miitary helicopters, so releasing the Mi-24s.

#StandWithUkraine
#Russia is receiving "regular resupplies of small numbes" of attack drones from #Iran.

That's the verdict of British Intel today in its daily update. London also confirms they're being used by the Kremlin to "stretch #Ukraine's air defences"

#StopRussia
Indoctrination continues across #Russia

Even in the frozen far-east outpost of #Kamchatka (where they await the inevitable volcanic explosion), the local govt organises a car rally to support the war while schools are forced to hold "lessons of courage"

Spotted by Carolynne💙💛
Following #Russia's decision to force #Belarus to accept nukes, Reuters has given a pretty good summary of the state of the nuclear powers and the Command structure in Russia.

reuters.com/world/europe/r…
Seen in #Moscow.

The Terrorist State is paying for adverts telling people how to pack an emergency suitcase.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
The small frontline town of #Orikhiv is getting ripped apart by #Russia's shelling.

It's in #Zaporizhzhia oblast, some 60k south-east of the big city.

#StopRussia
Friendly (toilet) fire incident to report from #Russia now!

"Mobilisation News" reports the Kremlin Ministry of Defence is now poisoning its troops even before they get to the frontline!

#StandWithUkraine
#BakhmutHolds
Just a typical Sunday in the #Donetsk town.

Territory inside the town continues to be fought over, and swapped, street by street. This is time stamped this morning.

#SlavaUkraini
#Finland's @NokianTyresCom has finally stopped business in #Russia

The plant in Vsevolozhsk near St Petersburg has been sold to Tatneft,

Tatneft also has 100% of Hakka Invest LLC, which leases and manages the property of Nokian Tires.
A man who particpated in a vox-pop for @SvobodaRadio is being investigated for “knowingly false information about the Russian army.”

He said “Our govt said it wanted to fight the nationalists, but it was bombing shopping centres, and in Bucha, civilians"

vot-tak.tv/novosti/24-03-…
For some reason unknown to me, @dominos continued to trade in #Russia. This may have been a franchise issue, but after more than a year that seems a lame excuse.

Anyway, now independent Russian news outlet Mash says Dominos Russian operation is on the verge of bankruptcy.
#RussiaOnFire

I'm struggling to get to the bottom of this, but there's been an arson attack on the Range Rover of Elena Danko. She's described as "an activist" of the Basmenny self-governing council in #Moscow.

The fire spread to a Kia parked next to the target.
Hollywood star Orlando Bloom has returned to #Kyiv.

The actor walked the streets of #Ukraine's capital, before visiting a children's centre in his role as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.

#StandWithUkraine
A storm in #Odesa (RU: #Odessa) washed up a naval mine, which exploded.

A couple of houses by the coast were badly damaged.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
1/2

#RussiaOnFire - but very strange this one.

In #Kireevsk, a small town around 150 miles/240km south of #Moscow, residents claim they were hit in a drone attack.

A nearby apartment block was also damaged in what's clearly a pretty big explosion:
2/2

Initial reports say two people were injured by flying glass after the explosion in #Kireevsk in #Tula region.

Locals have just filmed this, which they think is from the missile which hit the small town.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Avdiivka has been pummeled with artillery again this weekend.

Not many buildings remain untouched by the ravages of war now in the frontline town in #Donetsk.

#StandWithUkraine
Even away from the frontline, many devastated towns and villages still in the south of #Ukraine.

I don't know how along ago these drone photos were taken, but they're from #Blahodatne, a village in the north of #Mykolaiv region.

#SaveUkraine
#Ukraine Telegram channels are celebrating the death of a "hero" of #Russia who played a key role in the massacre of #Ilovaisk.

Commander Dmytro Lysytsky was killed in #Donetsk region, continuing heavy losses for Russia's 247th regiment.
Rather predictably, #Russia has said this was a drone attack by #Ukraine which its air defence foiled.

Moscow reckons it was a Strizh UAV, which crashed when Russia jammed the dron'e navigation systems.
It's now known 3 people were injured in #Tula.

In #Avdiivka, where #Ukraine's forces have been struggling to stay in control, mobile networks are to be switched off.

It's believed some Russian sympathisers have been betraying Ukrainian positions to the occupiers. Residents are told to evacuate.
Although #Ukraine's football team was defeated 2-0 by England in its first Euro2024 qualifier, there were still some terrific scenes at Wembley.

The visitors had wonderful support from exiled nationals and the diaspora. Though one fan got confused. The UK doesn't have F-16s
#RussiaOnFire

More careless smoking, this time at the #Perm Powder Plant.

A fire broke out in the electrical control room of the site's administrative building. It's not the first fire they've had at the plant.

No one was injured.
Just time to thank Christoph A for buying me a coffee. First coffee donation for 4 days.
Very much appreciated sir.💙💛

Tuesday 29 July. Day 1252.
Documenting all the important stories and developments in Ukraine's ongoing fight for survival against an invading horde.

Every Single Day. No break, no days off.
All the news from the war in Europe, all the time.
Monday was probably a better day for Ukraine.
We saw Trump appear to lose patience with indicted war criminal Putin, we saw a Ukraine flag replanted in one reclaimed village & late in the thread more strikes on Russia's rail infrastructure.

Catch up here
I'll begin in Rostov region, where earlier Ukraine hit railway infrastructure in the town of Salsk.

Pretty much the whole of the rail network in Rostov oblast is crucial to Russia's military. The proximity to occupied parts of Ukraine & the route to Crimea run through here. Image

Day 1249 of terrorism being inflicted on Ukraine.

It's been another very difficult night as Russia pounds major cities with combined attacks.

I'm still documenting all the war crimes - no sleep yet, please support my work with a KoFi (link in profile)

Here's Saturday's thread
Russia's night time attack is continuing.
Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions have been most badly hit.

You can read about most of the attack towards the end of Friday's thread - it's another big one and here's the link for the start; click & scroll..

This is the shocking sight in Dnipro after the latest of many missile attacks on the city and wider region this morning.

Day 1247
It's never ending. At least it feels like it after another sleepless night and "peace talks" that lasted 40 minutes and Russia still refusing Trump's demand for a ceasefire, which Ukraine agreed to 135 days ago.

All the news, all the time, it's the daily Ukraine🧵
A quick reminder if you appreciate my work (and lack of sleep) you can donate coffee via the link in my bio🙏

But this is the link you probably really want! To check back on all yesterday's news, especially when Russia was attacked late at night.

So last night ended with a lot of damage in southern Ukraine & southern Russia

Part of the damage in the Sochi/Adler are of Krasnodar region seems to have been self-inflicted.

Here's a new video of what seems to be Russian air defence missing but landing harmlessly this time.

You've found the start of another daily thread. I've not missed one day since Russia's full invasion, bringing all the Ukraine news in one handy thread every single day.

It's Day 1246, let's begin.
A late finish last night for me (yeah, not unusual), so a later start.

But not due to a massive Russian attack, but because of the political situation & public backlash

Another bumper thread, big Ukraine street protests for the 1st time in years in here
The biggest thing today will hopefully be the resumption of talks between Ukraine and Russia.

The meeting will again take place in Istanbul, starting at 7pm UKR time, 5PM BST, noon EST.
Venue is the Çırağan Palace - can't wait to hear reporters butcher that name😂 [Cheer-raan] Image

Day 1245
One thousand, two hundred + forty-five days of battling to survive against what was said to be the world's 2nd greatest army.

Ukraine's resistance has been heroic but still a lot of work to do.

I'm starting Tuesday's thread before sleep as the air attack just ended.
Monday's thread was another 50-post marathon

A lot of problems for Russia, with drones, planes, trains and the elements. But another major Ukraine city was hit in the early hours of this morning.
All yesterday's news is here, click and scroll to catch-up
Straight to events in Odesa then.
At around 2am Russian drones descended on the city.

There seem to be 3 sites of damage - though at least one may be debris damage.

Mayor Hennadiy Trukhanov, a great self publicist, released a video after visiting the site of the worst damage.

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
