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.
#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"
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"

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.
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.
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.
Day 1300 of Putin's war.
Another 100 days of fighting completed.
We are no nearer peace than we were 100 days ago.
Almost 200 days ago Trump demanded a 30-day unconditional ceasefire.
Not surprising as he started it, it's always Putin stopping peace.
Here's Monday's daily🧵

It was a day when Ukraine had to quickly repair a main railway line after a massive explosion, but they also managed to make multiple hits on Russia's rail and oil industries
Hello on Day 1298 of Russia's full invasion of its sovereign neighbour. So, only 1295 days late in fulfilling the boast of taking Kyiv in 3 days. #EATP for Putin.
I've compiled a🧵every single day without fail.

Friday saw more important visitors arrive in Kyiv (and another familiar place is in Ukraine today).
There was more solidarity and practical support, while Russia suffered more oil woes.
I'll start in Odesa, because that's where the familiar face has turned up.
He was planning to return to Ukraine a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't make it, but now Boris is back.
Loved by nearly all Ukrainians, his early arrival (with Lord Ashcroft) meant he avoids the crowds.
Day 1297 of Russia's imperialist war, but the senior bully keeps being given a bloody nose by the junior school kid next door. How embarrassing for the "world's second greatest army" and more 'punches' thrown by Ukraine overnight..
There was so much in yesterday's thread.
Russia hitting churches, Ukraine striking a boat.
The US helping Belarus, which helps🇷🇺 & Trump questioning if the drone attack on Poland was a mistake.
Thursday ended with a Ukraine drone surge into Russia:
Here we go then, another day in Russia's imperial war on Ukraine
Too many "allies" of Ukraine lacked vision, understanding or balls, or all three and merely tried to stop the punching, while the US now rather sadistically aids the killing while shouting "peace"
It's Monday's🧵
Day 1293 has started quietly, but with politicians back in offices, there may be developments later.
Sunday was a day of violence, recrimination and clearing up after the worst single night's attack in world history, in terms of projectiles.
