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?

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.

#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

Another night of no sleep yet - dramatic action in Moscow.

Time to start another daily thread covering everything to do with Putin's disastrous 'operation' in Ukraine.

It's 5am in Russia and Ukraine, on Day 1190 of the war.
Let's begin...
I've still NEVER missed even one day since the start of Russia's full invasion.

But yesterday's thread ended up being one of the most lively. Another near 50-post story of the day, and if you like seeing "bavovna" in Russia, go right through to the end!
1/3
Russia says 33 drones have been shot down approaching Moscow during the night.

The biggest incident is clearly this at the Mikron micro-electronics plant in Zelenograd, in Moscow oblast...

Hello again and welcome to the daily thread for Day 1189 of Russia's illegal war.

While media keep hinting Trump may be about to impose sanctions on Putin's regime, there's still evidence to say he hates Zelenskyy more.

All the news from and about Ukraine in one🧵right here:
As always though, in case you missed anything yesterday, blow is the link to the start of Monday's thread

So if you don't have much time online, just bookmark my profile page and you can always go back to where you left off for a summary of all the news
A much quieter night, but Russia still fired 60 drones into Ukraine. Air Defence managed to stop 43 (35 shot down and 8 disabled via EW)

But that still leaves 17 which made it through, at a very high strike rate of 28%

Good morning on Day 1176 of the war in Europe.
In my opinion, Ukraine should have won this war in 2022/23.

Effective leadership is based on good, decisive decisions. Sadly, the allies have never been decisive, preferring dithering and half measures.

Welcome to my daily thread:
What I mean by dithering is endless internal political battles in most countries to give adequate weapons. Scholz (Taurus), Biden (everything) the most obvious examples, though Joe was hampered by Congress and is way better than now

But it's always enough to survive, not to win
If you missed anything from yesterday, catch up with this link to the start of yesterday's thread. Scroll down to where you got to and complete your knowledge!

But please return!

The start of a new week and simultaneously almost the end of 167 weeks of Russia's attempt to liberate Ukraine from its leader and remove the country from maps.

It's Day 1167 of Putin's full invasion. Welcome to Monday's daily thread.
First the link back to Sunday's thread for those who were busy y'day

It started with Ukraine counting the cost of yet more strikes on civilians and infrastructure but there were more strategic hits on Russia during the day, incl a night attack on Moscow.
If you were with me late last night, you will know about the ballistic missiles and big drone attack on Sumy.

I think Russia moved to attacking soft targets in big numbers.

A record 46% of UAVs were NOT stopped.
116 fired, just 42 shot down and 21 neutralised by EW.Image

Day 1163 of Russia's war of choice, invading a peaceful neighbour.

Another bloody and murderous night in Ukraine, but the pressure is all on Russia today as Ukraine signs the minerals deal, the US (finally) continues its shift against Putin and the oil price dives

Here's THE🧵
Good morning and happy May (or MayDay).

I have to say a new month brings new optimism for Ukraine following the US/Ukraine agreement.

That was the biggest news story of a near 50-post thread.
It took me ages - least you can do is read it!😂

1/4
There is a lot of criticism of the minerals deal, even more scepticism and a lot of confusion, so let me give my analysis and key points.

First, Yuliia Svyrydenko, Ukraine Dep PM gave her full explanation after signing the deal, this gives 🇺🇦 POV

Day 1158 of the war in Europe.
This is the daily thread for Saturday 26 April, and as I mentioned last night, the anniversary of the Chornobyl disaster.

A later start today, sorry if I kept you waiting, but let's waste no more time...
Yesterday we saw Russia attack civilians of course, but we also probably also got a reminder of the power of Ukraine's Military Intelligence, as a Russian general and a weapons designer were both confirmed dead.

Plus full details of the peace plan(s)⬇️
1/2
Also today of course, and continuing right now in the Vatican is the farewell to Pope Francis.

Putin cannot attend because he would be arrested as an indicted war criminal.

On the front row, Zelenskyy, Macron and Trump.
