It's Tuesday and also Day 412 of #Russia's illegal war, welcome to my daily🧵

So far today it's very quiet in terms of news. But there was quite a lot happening yesterday. If you missed anything, take a quick scroll through Monday's thread here.

The daily losses published by #Ukraine show that #Russia has now lost a total of 600 aircraft as I reported yesterday when another fighter helicopter was downed.

500 more troops met their end too, all for a few metres of muddy land and Putin's ego.

#RussiansGoHome Image
Here's the daily update from #London too, which again indicates how quiet things are... but one of my followers in particular will be furious with another use of the word "likely" instead of "probably"😅 Image
#Ukraine's Defence Min. is in #Odesa and during the morning briefing turned up the heat a little by announcing they can soon attack #Russia's Black Sea Fleet.

@oleksiireznikov said "We are just waiting for the right moment to repeat this history" a year after sinking the Moskva Image
Still angry scenes at #Kyiv's historic religious Lavra complex.

Moscow aligned priests have taken to conducting services outside inside the grounds but outside the church itself. More protesters came to give their views of the FSB influenced "church".

#StandWithUkraine
A drone has hit #Belgorod airport in #Russia.

Media report "an aircraft-type UAV with an unknown explosive device fell near the fence of Shukhov Airport and exploded."

All border airports are closed to civilian aircraft since the start of the war.

#StopRussia Image
Another top athlete from #Ukraine has been killed by #Russia.

International cyclist Kostyantyn Deneka served in one of the special units of Ukrainian Intelligence.

The 40 year old died on March 31 near Bakhmut as a result of a shrapnel wounds Image
Some amazing scenes coming out of #Kamchatka in the far, far east of #Russia where the Shiveluch volcano finally blew its top!

A 20km ash cloud, much of which descended on to nearby villages. @volcaholic1 has many more photos and vids:

Although #Russia claimed long ago mobilisation had ended, we know that's 💩
Indeed, plans before the Duma now to amend the law. Currently only papers served in person are legal call-ups. Soon emails and even text messages may be used to ensnare new fodder for the meat grinder.
#Russia has released video of the arrest of two men in the far east of the country. Both are accused of donating to #Ukraine's army.

One was picked up in #Khabarovsk, the other in #Sakhalin. Both are charged with treason. ImageImageImageImage
Easter - that most religious of times for Christians..
In #Russia a time for eggs, religious services and attacking churches in #Ukraine.

This is the Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos in #Kherson.
No-one was injured.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Now I'm confused... In October @Danone announced it was finally selling its business in #Russia and planning to stop contributing to Putin's war chest.

So why today do Russian media report "Danone wants to continue working in Russia and plans to rename "Activia" and "Aktimel"? Image
It's being reported on #Russia's propaganda networks that this is a big hit on #Ukraine army vehicles.

It's said to have happened in #Zaporizhzhia but cannot be verified and the time stamp on this is not accurate. That doesn't mean it's fake, just it cannot be verified.
#Danone update:

The press release I attached and very favourable media reports in October, said the exact opposite.

#BoycottDanone should start trending maybe?

One of the few NGOs with a link to the civilised world left in #Russia has been blacklisted.

#Moscow's Prosecutor General's Office named the #Germany based "Russia-EU Civil Society Forum" as "undesirable in the Russian Federation"

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Photos here from last night's attack by #Russia on the #Kherson region.

Aerial guided bombs were again used, along with rockets as local houses and "an industrial complex" were destroyed in #Beryslav. There were no injuries.

#StandWithUkraine ImageImageImageImage
A school near #Orikhiv.
The small town in #Zaporizhzhia oblast is near the frontline and the subject of frequent shelling these days.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
A lovely moment found on TikTok as #Ukraine's troops, completing training in the #UK, are given a magnficent send-off.

Proud🇬🇧💙💛🇺🇦
Thx Ali for spotting this.
#StandWithUkraine
#Russia is having to send passenger airliners to #Iran for repairs.

Sanctions have left the Terrorist State so short of components, it's known an Airbus has made the journey to Iran.

@Airbus itself threatened to blacklist any company helping supply parts

#Ukraine's forces report another successful counterattack in #Bakhmut.

It's claimed (unverified) that an artillery strike hit "a concentration of #Wagner troops on Korsunskyi Street."

#BakhmutHolds Image
This moved quickly and has already been approved.

Among other restrictions, confirmation after a summons is sent, a person may not leave the country, and is banned from driving if they do not visit an enlistment office within 20 days.

#Russia claim two civilians were killed by shelling in the Occupied part of #Kherson.

They've published a video of a "Calendar Man" in #Oleshky holding a few scraps of metal and saying how there's been a crime, but strangely, no proof or even shots of the scene.
Meanwhile, in #Donetsk at least we have decent shots of an alleged attack.

Here #Russia says two men have been injured after shelling damaged minibus #63 in the Kuibyshev region of the occupied city. One of those injured was the driver. ImageImageImageImage
Yet more damage today in #Kostyantynivka (RU: #Konstantinovka).

Here are new photos of damage to the #Ukraine held town in #Donetsk region, which #Russia is now pounding every day.

#RussiaIsATerroristStat ImageImageImageImage
#Ukraine's (former) richest man is suing #Russia.

Rinat Akhmetov has filed a lawsuit in international arbitration demanding compensation for all losses caused to him when #Donetsk and #Luhansk "governments" seized his assets, including the Donbas Arena, home of @FCShakhtar
E.N., Thank you for the words as well as the donation.

Sir, you make an important point about the pschological damage as well as the physical.
We must continue to help end this madness.

Occupiers in #Kherson show the damage after rockets hit a school in the riverside area of #Kardashynka, south of #Kherson.

Although it is under Occupation, some #Ukraine channels blame #Russia, though it's impossible to be sure either way.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
It's loud this evening in #Donetsk.

This was heard a short while ago in the Kuibyshevskyi district of the occupied city.

#StopRussia
#Hungary has agreed a new energy deal with #Russia.

In #Moscow today, Hungarian foreign minister, Péter Szijjártó gave details of the agreement, which will anger EU partners.

#Ukraine is likely to receive some cash as some fuel will pass through the pipeline there.
US Intel Leak:
I'm glad the MoD agrees with what I've been saying.

There's so much speculation and reporting "as fact" stuff which we don't know if it's true or not.

This has to go down as propaganda right now as it cannot be proven, but thought you may like to see this video published by #Ukraine's border service.

They say 6 guards from #Luhansk detachment held at bay #Russia's superior forces for 3 hours in #Bakhmut to avoid encirclement.
More explosions reported in #Kherson region.
#Russia's planes have been flying in the area and #Beryslav has been hit again though I don't know yet if it's rockets or aerial bombs again.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
In Easter week some risky artwork appeared in #Russia's second city St Petersburg.

Kremlin security forces guarding Christ, presumably having nailed him to the cross.

Within a couple of hours it had been painted over with grey paint by panicked officials. ImageImage
"The Vulkan Files" - a multi partner investigation reveals the massive threat being developed, and posed by, #Russia's hackers.

Society could be paralysed in a worst case scenario.

Day 1254. Eight more til Trump Sanctions Day.

Putin's response was to bomb the cr*p out of Ukraine's capital again overnight.

It's decency against inhumanity. Which side are you on?

Welcome to THE daily thread.
Wednesday was a fairly quiet day, punctuated by the odd Russian missile attack, before another enormous attack centre on Kyiv.. and it's still going on.

But Ukraine hit back in Russia.
Missed anything? Click and scroll, but please come back!

Five missiles are over Kyiv right now.
I hope everyone's safely in shelters.

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.
