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?

Day 1243 of Russia's gross violation of the peaceful world order. Breaking UN Rules and the Geneva Conventions. Doing anything to anyone in a bid to eliminate Ukraine and all its people who won't bow down to the Führer of the 21st century.
Here's yet another daily thread.
Well, for a country at war, it's been a quiet night and day so far in Ukraine.
Mind you, not so in Russia, and the previous 24 hours turned out a little crazy, with a 50-page thread to get your teeth into if you were busy on Saturday:
I finally made it, to start Saturday's daily thread covering all things about Russia's aggression, not only in Ukraine, but increasingly on all of its enemies.
It's Day 1242, which began after midnight with a mass of objects flying both both sides of the border.
Friday's was another huge thread, not surprising as it encompassed 24 hours from start to end.

It's also Thursday 17 July, a beautiful mid-summer's day, and on this day 11 years ago Russia murdered almost 300 crew and passengers when shooting down flight MH-17 over occupied Ukraine.
The Terrorism never stopped.
Here's the daily thread
Wednesday is well worth catching up on if you missed anything from yesterday's🧵
Numerous new Russian war crimes including a sickening town centre attack during evening rush hour, a Latvian mayor injured in the war the maiden flight of Ukraine's Big Bird
A very warm welcome and thank you for joining me on Day 1239 of Russia's war of choice, Putin's choice to attempt to remove Ukraine from the map and commit genocide on its people.
Every single day I put all the important news in one handy thread. Here is Wednesday's feed:
Yesterday was Ukraine's Day of Statehood.
Kyiv celebrated with successful attacks on military targets in Russia.
But the night saw more huge drone swarm attacks on a number of Ukrainian cities.
Catch up on anything you missed, here:
A series of cities in Ukraine clearing up this morning after night attacks.
Kharkiv, Kramatorsk, Krivyi Rih, Odesa and Vinnytsia were all hit. So far no authorities have reported any deaths overnight, but there are many injuries.
1/3 So Trump has, crucially, for the first time, allowed US weapons to go to Ukraine, so it is a step forward. And while no specifics, let's hope the best long-range weapons are to be given.
But no confirmation about the U.S. using Russia's frozen assets in favour of Ukraine.
