Day 419 of the war in Europe.
#Russia's illegal war & full invasion of #Ukraine.
The day Bunker Boy emerged from his Kremlin bunker!

Yesterday was very interesting with Wagner troops confessing war crimes, more Russian fires, collaborators + more, here⬇️

The scale of the war is difficult to comprehend for those living far away. But @SkyNews brings it to life with this report.

15% (381) of all education establishments in #Ukraine have been damaged or destroyed by #Russia in the first year.

#Russia's President Putin (or at least a lookalike) has appeared in #Ukraine's Occupied Territories.

He is said to have flown into #Kherson region to visit the "Dnepr" Command of troops and then taken a helicopter to the "East" Command in #Luhansk.

#RussiansGoHome
Britain's update concentrates on #Bakhmut', which still holds, but the MoD in London says #Russia is making "creeping advances"

#StandWithUkraine Image
Much lower figures today as #Ukraine publishes the daily losses suffered by #Russia in the last 24 hours of the war. Still another 470 Russian families will be grieving at some point in the future when they realise their relative won't be coming home.

#StopRussia Image
Yesterday I reported on the Governor of #Bryansk in #Russia describing how they'd foiled a border crossing by #Ukraine, implying soldiers tried to attack

Turns out it was a man on a bike! Unfortunately he died when hitting a mine.

#StopRussia
#Kherson has come under "massive fire" this morning.

At least six people are injured while some locals say there are dead, but that's not confirmed.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
First video from #Kherson where at least six are wounded in heavy shelling.

Most badly hit seems to be the market in the centre.
Here someone films as they try to flee one strike which shattered glass, but explosions continue as they move away.
#SaveUkraine
#Egypt has reportedly agreed to supply Ukraine with 152mm and 155mm shells.

A blow to #Russia, but it's likely Egypt is carefully playing both sides.
A drone appears to have fallen in occupied #Donetsk this morning.

This video's been published showing the UAV near school number 57 in the Kyivskyi district of the city.

#DonetskIsUkraine
Pictures emerge from heavy attacks by #Russia on #Sloviansk (RU: #Slavyansk) in the early hours of this morning.

Attack drones & rockets damaged 5 high-rise buildings, 7 houses, a security facility, a medical facility plus entertainment and business centres.
No casualties. ImageImageImageImage
Three civilians have been killed by #Russia's airstrikes in #Luhansk.

This house in the village of Novoiehorivka was hit. This is about 20km SW of #Svatove, close to the state border with #Kharkiv oblast. Image
Despite rains easing, more water from upstream means large areas of #Kyiv region are now under water.

Flooding has caused widespread damage in 3 regions of #Ukraine in the past week.

#StandWithUkraine Image
#Kherson update.

The death of one person has been confirmed after the shelling of the city centre market in Kherson.

The local governor says 7 others were injured.
#RussiaIsATerroristState ImageImageImage
President #Zelenskyy visited the front line in #Avdiivka.

The visit came hours after news of Putin's supposed visit to occupied regions, which many think was recorded at the weekend.

Avdiivka is a real hot-spot, being the closest #Ukraine held area to Donetsk and Horlivka. Image
Another investigation after a new video emerged of a Commander in #Ukraine's army hitting a subordinate.

This was filmed on 26 March in #IvanoFrankivsk
Absolutely zero surprise that #Russia rejected the appeal of @WSJ journalist @evangershkovich at a sham court hearing in #Moscow.

#Ukraine has urged the President of #Brazil to come and see for himself the truth.

"Lula" recently criticised the U.S. and the EU for seeking war not peace and alleged the war was because of "decisions made by two countries."

Peace is easy - #RussiansGoHome, problem solved Lula
More leaflets being distributed in occupied #Enerhodar, urging people to evacuate their children to Crimea.

The evacuation itself is scheduled for May 5-7 according to #Russia's invaders.

Fears of the counter-attack? Stealing more children? Or both?

#StopRussia Image
Local officials in #Irkutsk denied there was a cemetery for those killed in the war, but local journalists have found the secret burial sites.

Some relatives had been searching for their dead loved ones and only now can they grieve.

#Poland, perhaps under pressure from the #EU has agreed to end the ban on imported grain from #Ukraine.

Warsaw has agreed to end the embargo in just over 3 days, on Thursday night.

#StandWithUkraine
#Russia is banned from Basketball at the Paris Olympics.

@FIBA has stuck to its guns and continued to refuse to allow the Russians to participate because of the country's illegal war. So Russia will miss the qualifiers and cannot go to next years #Olympics.

#StandWithUkraine
Well done 'Fellas'

Less than a week ago I reported this.
Now Pernod Ricard has accounced, because of the threat of a boycott, it is withdrawing Absolut Vodka from the Russian market.

#Ukraine claims it has shot down all 7 drones fired by #Russia in #Zaporizhzhia oblast tonight.

6 #Iran made kamikaze "Shahed" UAVs were hit by Ukrainian air defence.

#StopRussia
It's reported tonight that at least one Patriot air defence system is already in #Ukraine

#Germany has officially handed over the US made system along with the missiles.

With a range of 160km, this equipment can go a long way to ending #Russia's air superiority.
#SaveUkraine
⚡️Breaking⚡️
A drone hits an Enlistment Office in the #Bryansk oblast of #Russia.

Regional governor Aleksandr Bogomaz immediately said a #Ukraine UAV attacked the Military Commissariat of #Novozybkiv. Windows were broken but no injuries.

Are they sure it's not angry Russians?

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

Tuesday 17 June 2025.

No time to waste. Kyiv is under the most immense attack.

It's Day 1210 of Russia's increasingly desperate attempt to eviscerate Ukraine and all Ukrainians.

Here's the daily thread, continuing to document the night attacks...
Just gone 04:35 in Kyiv.
A hellish night is not yet over.
Apartment blocks, student dormitories hit.
6 districts of Kyiv city damaged, plus other injuries in the wider region

Here's the link for Monday's thread with all the last half showing the chaos:
If you're just waking up, here's an idea of what's happened to Kyiv while you were sleeping.

Ukraine's capital has not slept.
Many are without homes due to Russia's ongoing war crimes and one person, an American, has lost his life during the attack. Image

Hello again. Day 1203 of Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine

Anyone with a brain slightly larger than that of a chihuahua knows it. Russian history and Putin's own words spelt it out, but peaceniks, Naziniks and idiotniks are still in denial

More proof coming up in🧵for Day 1203
Yesterday's thread lasted well over 24 hours, but nothing to be proud of.

I know I'm crazier than you, and thankfully you all have lives to live. So you will be needing the link to the start of yesterday's thread so you can catch up on what you missed..

Genocide - a short thread within a🧵
I am simply staggered governments and world organisations are too weak to acknowledge the mountain of evidence.

The recent huge missile attacks should be enough, but useful idiots are fooled by Russia's plausible deniability.

A very early start to my daily thread on Day 1202 of Russia's 3 day 'special operation' to capture Kyiv.

It's so special Putin just doesn't want it to stop!

It's another no-sleep night as I start Monday's news feed on all things Ukraine.

Thanks for your support, I rely on you
Another huge Russian attack continues as I type. It could be the biggest yet.

The attack started about half way through yesterday's thread! So catch up here if you're just waking up.

The biggest problem in Ukraine tonight has been for Dubno, in Rivne region.

Heavily attacked in the evening, but now as light bathes the town, it's even worse. All cruise missiles in Ukraine are about to hit, and 3 drones too.
