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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
#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.
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.
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?

You've found the start of the daily thread - here every single day. All news is fact-checked, without hyperbole but with context. My aim is to help you know what's really going on in #Ukraine so you can be informed to tell others
Let's go
It's been a difficult morning for #Ukraine with #Russia launching missile attacks already, after drones earlier in the night.
But the traditional way to start is to give you the chance to review yesterday's news, inc more gains in #Kursk and 🇷🇺burning!
Hello & welcome to Day 908 of #Russia's disgusting, and now disastrous, all-out war on #Ukraine.
Throughout history the independence, strength and rebellious nature of Ukrainians has caused problems for imperialist rulers and dictators.
History is biting Putin on the bum again!
This is THE daily thread, the only one you need for all the major news about #Ukraine's fight for freedom and its very existence.
Sunday was quiet, but still plenty to get your teeth into. Click here if you were offline some of the day & need a catch-up:
A new week, and coming to the end of the first week of #Ukraine's decision to take the war directly into #Russia's territory, more than 10 years after Putin invaded sovereign🇺🇦land.
It's Day 901 of the all-out war. All the news, all the time, in one handy thread. Read-on!
We start again with a look back to yesterday.
Lots of news once again. Not least from #Kursk region, but please remember #Ukraine has a media silence from there. Some battalions post selfies, but mostly it's only #Russia and locals uploading photos.
I want to revisit what happened at the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
I've now read and spoken to a few who know more than me about the plant. Everyone agrees it's a cooling tower, with nothing to burn there.
So it's almost certain #Russia burned something as a provocation.
