All the news here, throughout the day in one handy place⬇️
Quite a lot of news again yesterday from "leaked" NATO docs, #Russia land-mining, the weakening of the ruble, Russians sabotaging jets for #Ukraine, Occupiers eating endangered animals and loads of #RussiaOnFire incidents
1/2 A Russian opposition "Telegram journalist" claims to have chatted with Maria Lvova-Belova, #Russia's children's minister who's wanted by the ICC for suspected war crimes.
@betelgeuse1922 was trying to get "anti-war poster" girl Masha Moskoleva removed from state care
2/2
In the end Masha was hastily "reunited" with her mother, which neither child nor mother seemed to want; Denis is scathing in his interesting thread, which I think is true.
So let's try something. Should I change my profile pic? I could do a vote here, but in view of being "downgraded" by Twitter, I'll go for the old style:
To change my profile to (then) 12 year old Russian girl Masha's anti-war drawing, RETWEET.
To keep the Uk/Ukraine flag, LIKE!
With regards to the profile-pic vote, I'll abide by the results at midnight UK time tonight.

The BBC clad the Beatles in Vyshyvanka, traditional shirts of #Ukraine, during filming for next month's #Eurovision
Some Russian media have been reporting Brits are outraged, cherry-picking occasional comments such as "blasphemy". In reality most like it! bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
Britain's Ministy of Defence says #Russia has failed in its attempt to break #Ukraine's energy system.
The stoic nation of Ukrainians survived the freezing winter. Indeed, the communal heating system in #Kyiv and many other regions, is being turned off today.
A Telegram channel in #Zaporizhzhia reports 100 Russian troops have been killed after #Ukraine's scouts discovered a hidden camp.
The missiles destroyed the military unit near the Verhnii Tokmak settlements near #Polohy
Equipment hidden in the forest was also destroyed.
You guys are being so generous for Easter. Thank you @lilrobbergirl
for this. And thanks to all who support me by comments, retweets or just reading and spreading the truth and importance about this fight for Ukraine's survival.
Occupiers admit a missile attack, but unsurprisingly claim it was shot down over #Feodosia. Of course no damage nor casualties are admitted.
But the smoke shown earlier in the thread suggest something more.
#Russia's desperation to replace the dead and wounded knows no bounds...
Telegram Channel MobilizationNews shows proof of teachers in #Ufa being forced to leaflet army ads on their only day off. While mobile recruitment centres appear in ever more cities in #Putin's Russia.
Another town in #Ukraine, another protest against the #Moscow church, inextricably linked with the FSB.
This is beautiful and historic #KamianetsPodilskyi (try visit after the war!)
Despite sounding the bells, the 'monks' couldn't drown out the crowd & this church will become🇺🇦
A further 31 Ukrainian children have been rescued from #Russia.
They were among the thousands illegally deported, leading to war crimes charges.
Look at the joy on their faces. I particularly like when the boy touches the #SaveUkraine sign on the coach which will take him home.
President #Zelenskyy in his evening statement praised #Poland for fulfilling all agreements, including Leopard tanks which are in #Ukraine.
Warsaw also continues to supply infantry fighting vehicles + APCs.
USA, Germany and Netherlands also pledged more aid during the week.
#Crimea - louod noises in #Sevastopol this evening.
Some locals report explosions...
Obviously the Occupiers quickly dispel such thoughts.
The local governor explained the loud noises as "work to prevent saboteurs."
Yet more damage in #Oleshky today.
The small town in #Kherson oblast was hit a further two times by #Russia today in addition to strikes most days this week.
Welcome to the weekend, and Day 934 of #Russia's illegal war.
I'm trying to overcome technical problems all this morning, hence the later start.
But I will not be stopped in bringing you the news from, and about, #Ukraine every single day, in one handy thread.
Here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread, for those catching up.

Overnight there were strong explosions near occupied #Mariupol.
It would seem #Ukraine has hit one of #Russia's ammo dumps.
🇺🇦advisor Petro Andryushchenko says it happened between the villages of Portovskoe, Rybatskoe and Melekino.
#RussiansGOHOME
#Russia expels 6 UK diplomats, accused of spying. The FSB says the group attended NGO meetings!
State TV Rossiya-24 published photos of the six, naming them as Jessica Davenport, Callum Andrew Duff, Grace Elvin, Catherine McDonnell, Blake Patel, Thomas John Hickson Stevinet.
Day 922 of #Russia's attempt to wipe #Ukraine from the map. As Putin become more desperate and fearful, the actions of the little Hitler and his commanders becomes even more brutal.
Thanks for joining me for another daily news🧵- all the news all the time. It's a tough job..
Please be aware, I did make some extra posts at the end of thread 921 which you may have missed, after being offline for most of the afternoon.
So here is the link for the start of Sunday's thread, scroll through at your leisure.
I was going to say "unfortunately" there is more destruction and injuries in #Ukraine, but this is not misfortune.
We all know, and expect, a permanent flow of war crimes from #Russia because no-one stops them. It's not unfortunate, it's disgraceful, that countries appease Putin
Hello again and welcome to Sunday's thread on the first day of September. This is the 32nd month which has seen fighting since #Russia chose to invade its peaceful neighbour.
All the news from, and about #Ukraine in one place, updated throughout the day, every day. It's Day 921
Sorry for the abrupt end to yesterday's thread. I still don't have @TMobile data, but they have promised me a refund when I get back to Vegas. This night is my last in Mexico. All work done, starting the long journey home
The big news this morning is of #Ukraine successes inside #Russia. No civilians killed, no apartment blocks hit. Just military targets, even in #Moscow region.
The Kremlin says over 150 drones were shot down in the biggest Ukraine UAV attack of the war.
Welcome to Tuesday's daily thread on #Russia's unprovoked war in #Ukraine, with all the important news in one place.
It's Day 916.
The last 24 hours have shown us maximum pressure now has to be put on the U.S. to #LetUkraineStrikeBack. Let's show Biden public-opinion demands it!
#Russia has continued to terrorise #Ukraine during the night and attacks still continue right now.
Yesterday's mammoth 15-hour assault formed most of Monday's thread, which saw an equally big 73-posts (more than one tweet every 20 mins)
Catch up here⬇️
A new week, but the same old death and destruction in #Ukraine and also in #Russia as perhaps soon it will dawn on the people of the latter it's not a good idea to launch imperialistic needless wars on innocent, peaceful neighbours.
This is THE daily thread, Day 915, let's go!
A dramatic start to Monday. We will get to that in a minute, but first I have to give you the link to Sunday's thread.
Sadly, another tragic day, as a British member of a Reuters team covering the war in #Ukraine was murdered by #Russia's missile attack
