Here we go again. Day 414 of #Russia's mission to wipe #Ukraine from the map and continuing its imperialistic goals.
This is the daily thread with all the news you need.

Reaction to the beheading videos dominated yesterday's news. If you missed anything or want a recap, here's the link for the start of yesterday's thread.
Click and scroll at your leisure!
Among the invaders' equipment destroyed recently is a R-330Zh "Zhitel" jamming station.
#Ukraine's Special Operations forces published this video of the moment they hit the hidden Zhitel. It will have been a huge part of electronic warfare in #Donetsk and a big loss to #Russia.
Remember these are two areas the Kremlin claims are Russian, but they continue to kill and cause pain to what are supposed to be their "own people"
I reported aerial bombs last night..
2/2 1 person was killed, 2 were wounded in #Kherson yesterday. #Russia subjected the region to 46 shellings , firing 185 shells from heavy artillery, UAVs and aviation.
In #Zaporizhzhia 19 villages were hit in 57 attacks with artillery + drones.
A bit of an aside, but if you are following the "US Intel Leaks" story, then this article will be very interesting and has been made available free by WP.
But it probably raises more questions than answers about veracity and reasons for the leak.
In #Crimea today an unexplained explosion reported by the Telegram Channel Crimean Wind.
They report a lot of #Russia's military equipment was in the area when the explosion happened near the village of #Krinichki.
However it could have been testing or training.
#Ukraine's nuclear energy agency says a mine exploded in the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, currently Occupied by #Russia's troops.
This post on its Telegram channel says the explosion, near a control room in the 4th power unit, was heard by local workers.
The EU Council has agreed to allocate 1 billion euros for ammunition for #Ukraine
EU's Head of Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, said. "There is no better demonstration of the EU's united resolve and determination to continue to support Ukraine's legitimate right to self-defence."
I know you missed him! The Occupiers' "Calendar Man" is back!
He was seen out and about in #Luhansk region today after what has all the hallmarks of a #HIMARS attack in #Svatove. Details are scarce, but looks like a good place for troops to have been.
A picture's emerged online supposedly on #Wagner troops "raping a colleague with a mop."
It's distasteful and cannot be verified at this stage, so I won't post it, but just letting you all know.
You can probably find it elsewhere if you look for it.

News of another strike on the suburbs of #Zaporizhzhia during the early hours this morning.
All we have so far is this statement:
"As a result of night shelling by #Russia, there were no casualties or injuries. A hit to the territory of critical infrastructure was recorded."
As I've been reporting, things are incredibly difficult in #Bakhmut for #Ukraine's troops right now.
That's echoed in the daily British update today:
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.
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"😅
Also last night I revealed the results of the poll, and you rejected my proposal of switching my profile pic to the anti-war drawing by a 12 year old Russian girl who's father was arrested because of it.
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
