And so begins Day 416 of the wretched war.
Bloodthirsty #Russia continues its illegal assault and attempt to destroy #Ukraine.

You've found the start of another daily thread with all the news.

As I'm search/shadowbanned please reply to this (write anything) and retweet to help!
Friday was quite a busy one, unfortunately the news led by another Terrorist Attack by #Russia.

But there was also the surprise of seeing Prigozhin call for an end to the war, and lots more interesting stuff.

Catch up here:

The #UK thinks #Russia's new laws on being able to deliver call-ups via email or text, indicate the Kremlin is preparing for a long war in #Ukraine.

This concurs with most experts' views as the invaders continue to build defences in the Occupied Territories. Image
#Russia's losses today well down on recent days.
Indeed equipment losses are probably as low as I can remember since 24 February 2022.

I'm sure @ragnarbjartur can confirm with his excellent daily charts! Image
One person's been injured overnight in #Sumy region.

#Russia fired grad rockets at the village of #Bilopillya, hitting a farming company.

#RussiaIsATerroristState ImageImageImage
In #Sloviansk five people remain under the rubble of a house.

As of this morning, 9 people were killed and 21 injured as a result of yesterday's Russian rocket attack.

#RussiaIsATerroristState Image
The Commander of a group defending #Vuhledar + #Avdiivka says they're holding positions, denying #Russia the chance to reach the latter.

Oleksandr Tarnavskyi of the Tavria battalion posted this photo adding "every soldier in the trenches is performing at the highest level." Image
#Ukraine's air force hints the US Patriot Air Defence systems will be in use soon

Spokesman Yuriy Ignat says the promised equipment will arrive "some time after Easter", but refuses to be more specific. "When the first Rashist plane is shot down you will know"

#StandWithUkraine
Earlier this morning two explosions were heard in occupied #Mariupol'

However no further details since, and it could be training of new arrivals from #Russia.

#SaveUkraine
The number of countries committed to seeing #Russia's leaders in the Hague has now reached 34.

#Poland became the most recent nation to join the coalition backing a tribunal into war crimes committed by the Terrorist State.

News In Brief:

#Moscow has cancelled its scheduled MayDay parade (1 May) "due to the threat of terrorism." The 9 May Victory parade will go ahead

#Japan pledges to give #Ukraine $400m to repair critical infrastructure and a further $70m to the UN's Ukraine Development programme
#Ukraine says it has proof that #Russia's regular army is now using convicts in the war.

Previously only #Wagner attempted this recruitment method, but now at least 15 Russian criminals have surrendered in #Donetsk region.

One of the biggest problems this Easter weekend for many in #Ukraine is flooding.

Three regions are on the highest level of alert with widespread instances of damage due to floodwater.

The capital #Kyiv is also suffering - photos/videos in this report:

Wow, 37 replies, 48 retweets so far. Thanks to all the "Fellas" and others for helping amplify my account. Pro-Ukraine accounts are under attack, support your favourites this way by regularly replying.

I've responded to all the replies, hope you see it!
A good and important thread for both nerds and those following the #DiscordLeaks closely.

One of the biggest Russian propagandists to write in English has an interesting background and is definitely NOT where she pretended to be from.

Two more bodies have been retrieved from the ruins of the apartment block in #Sloviansk.

11 people have now died in this Terror Attack by the nation which holds the Presidency of the @UN Security Council.

Nothing to say @antonioguterres?

#RussiaOnFire

This video clip is from south of #Kazan.
Locals say it's from near the tank training ground.

Friendly fire anyone?
#StopRussia
Shame on @amazon @Google and @NatGeo
All offer maps showing Occupied Territories in #Ukraine as Russian.

#Russia claims it has captured "two (more) quarters of the northern and southern outskirts of #Artemovsk (#Bakhmut in Ukrainian)"

Reports of #Ukraine troops retreating may well be true, though The Kremlin admits fierce battles continue for 🇷🇺's Wagner and Airborne Forces (VDV).
A mother and daughter have been murdered by #Russia's shelling in #Kherson.

The 48 and 28 year olds were walking near the school in the Tavriiskyi area of the city when killed.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine Image
#SlavaUkraini

This looks very much like #Ukraine hitting a Russian base in #Ribizhne.

Ammo, weapons, or a mix of both, exploding at will in the #Luhansk town.
Prigozhin "personally ordered the execution of prisoners of war of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. There are more than 20 such cases."

The founder of Gulagu.net, Vladimir Osechkin said they will publish the full story on Monday, based on testimony from an ex-Wagnerite. Image
LOL - nice to see the #Ukraine flag flying right in the centre of St Petersburg.

This is the Tauride Palace where a session of the CIS Inter-Parliamentary Assembly is taking place.
Seems no one told them Ukraine left the post Soviet relic 5 years ago!
Painting of Easter eggs is especially popular in #Ukraine and #Russia.

Seems the Ukrainian soldiers are preparing some seasonal gifts for the invaders.
#EasterGrenades! Image
#RussiaOnFire

A grassfire is raging out of control in #Tatarstan according to some Telegram channels in #Russia.

I cannot verify this - I just hope authorities are trying not to pretend this is the reason for the smoke in #Kazan, where some speculate about Russian troop deaths

A very bright and warm good morning to you, on Day 1231 of Russia's war of choice

Putin's choice to invade a sovereign, peaceful neighbour, to ruin the economy, to send hundreds of thousands of his countrymen to die

Is the tide about to turn? Here's THE daily thread on Ukraine
Well 2 days ago I was optimistic, and today that optimism is borne out.

But first, let's backtrack to yesterday, and in among the forehands and backhands, I still managed to produce a good thread with a Pimms or two🎾

An awful lot of people criticised me (well, I picked up a lot of bots and Kremlin stooges too) for saying that the Donald would backtrack.

But I read the runes and I was correct. Trump has unequivocally promised more weapons for Ukraine.

I think among Ukraine watchers there is a bit of positivity.

It's thread + Day 1229 of the full invasion of🇺🇦, ordered by a now indicted war criminal.

I'll tell you about my renewed optimism during today's 🧵so let's start the Sunday show..
As always (unless I forget!), here's the link to the start of the previous day's news round-up.
It was a 22 (yes, twenty-two) hour marathon.

So the least you can do is read it all 😂😇
.. or send me a KoFi💙💛

I'll start with very recent news as there's been another big attack in daylight hours.

Shortly before 10am, Russian drones hit another military recruitment centre, this time in Kremenchuk.

Fact checked and analysis by a professional journalist with Ukraine expertise.
I've literally just finished Friday's thread, with an extraordinary flurry of late news from inside Russia rounding off another bumper thread, stretching to 60 posts.

If you missed any, just click and scroll:

Well already this Saturday morning, Russia is feeling a bit sick.

Ukraine's famed Dr One visited various places on a busy round of night calls.

And next on the list, Engels in the Saratov region.

A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.

With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.

Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv Image

Welcome to another daily thread - THE place for honest assessment and analysis of all the news around Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1214 of the full-scale war. I still have an unblemished record - every single day.

Why not show your support with a ☕️?

Russia displayed outright Nazism + Fascism on Friday.

From killing in Ukraine, more utterings from the war-criminal in chief, to locking up young women and taking legal action against small independent new sites.

8 missiles and 272 drones were fired at Ukraine overnight.

ALL Russian missiles were trained on Kremenchuk, but Ukraine claims NONE reached their targets, including 2 x Kindzhals (5 shot, 3 EW)

In addition 252 UAVs were stopped (93%)
140 being shot down, 112 stopped with EW. Image

Thursday 19 June is Day 1212 of the conflict in Europe.

Russia continues to make ground, expending its soldiers at will for a few more metres as Ukraine fights for its existence having been shamefully let down by the USA.

I'm here every single day, so here's today's daily 🧵
Wednesday saw the death toll in Kyiv rise throughout the day, ending at double the number it started at. Then later Putin cynically told journalists they only hit military targets

Elsewhere another traitor to Ukraine met his fate - click here to catch-up
Another milestone is reached.

Trump is now 150 days late in promising "peace within 24 hours" of taking office.

It's also, as @andrii_sybiha points out, 100 days since🇺🇦 agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, as tRUmp demanded.
Russia did what it always does: delay, lie, kill. Image
