This is the start of daily thread number 430 of the illegal war in #Ukraine, with all the news in one place.

A very good Saturday morning to you; it's been a lively start to the day for #Russia's occupiers.

If you want to support independent journalism, see my bio to buy me a☕️
First though the usual link to the start of yesterday's thread. Take a scroll if you missed anything or need a catch-up:

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

1/2
#Crimea has been illegally occupied by #Russia since 2014. It was the very start of this war, far predating the full invasion 14 months ago.

But the Occupiers are getting worried. Overnight an oil depot was set on fire when a drone hit Kozachi Bay. No injuries reported: ImageImageImage
2/2

The so-called "Governor" of #Sevastopol on #Crimea says the hige fire won't affect fuel supplies in the region.

Mikhail Razvozhaev says "These reserves were not involved in the supply of fuel to gas stations."
So that means #Ukraine hit army #Russia reserves, right Misha?
As predicted, the total of #Russia's dead in this sickening war, leaps over 190,000*
15/16 May should see that number hit 200,000.

Equipment losses for the invaders generally low, but vehicles/fuel tanks again above average

* #Ukraine estimate Image
More evidence, in the i paper, of #Russia's mercenary group's involvement in the conflict in #Sudan.

#Wagner troops are operating in both the capital #Khartoum and, maybe more worryingly, #PortSudan from where most evacuations will happen after today.

The update from British Intel this morning is interesting.

London takes note of #Russia's claims over yesterday's murder of civilians in #Ukraine, particularly in #Uman'
But the conclusion is surely the same:
#RussiaIsATerroristState Image
Oh thank you Caroline for buying me a couple of coffees this morning.

Caramel Latte it will be - Sweet Caroline?

A teenage girl, illegally and forcibly deported from #Ukraine is now being prosecuted by her captors in #Russia.

While her mother in Ukraine prays for her return, Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets says Russia charged the 14yo to keep her captive.

How utterly disgusting to be in a foreign country and feel the need to support the terrorism and civilian murder your regime commits.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

Another 'unexplained' explosion in #Russia

This was spotted in the Glushkivskyi district of #Kursk, close to the border with #Ukraine.

#StopRussia
Two big supporters of mine, Morgan and Toni bought me coffees a little earlier.
So a big thank you to you both💙💛

President Zelenskyy says liberating #Crimea will cost far fewer lives than anticipated.

#Ukraine's President says "Russia is very much weaker. They lost their powerful army of military personnel."

The interview is here but not in English:

The #Ukraine Support Fund initiative, started by the UK, will soon procure more weapons and help.

Among the sought-after equipment are long-range rockets and equipment to ensure the mobility of troops, including bridges and landmine countermeasures.

In #Krasnodar they're denying rumours #Russia has lowered the age for mobilisation🤣

#brainwashing #RussiaIsATerroristState
#RussiaOnFire

Remember fire destroying the village of #Sosva in #Russia?

Well just 100km away another village in #Sverdlovsk is threatened. This was how #Alapayevsk looked from the train. Can't believe any western country would still be running services in these conditions!
Video just in from #Kramatorsk where kamikaze drones hit in the early hours this morning.

Two people were injured in #Russia's latest attack on what authorities say was a private house. One of the injured is a child who's being treated for severe burns.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
This diet of outrageous lies is astonishing.
#Russia's main channel news shows pictures of the massacre it commited in the #Ukraine city of #Uman'

But such is the propaganda and brainwashing they say this was a Ukrainian attack on #Donetsk.
@CurrentTimeTv proved the deception.
Earlier today Yevgeniy Prigozhin threatened to pull out of #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk) if they did not receive more ammunition.

Here's what the #Wagner boss said (English subtitles by @vidtranslator)
There's been shelling in occupied #Donetsk this afternoon.

The Occupiers say one person's dead in the town in the town of #Yasynuvata just north of Donetsk city.

#DonetskIsUkraine ImageImageImageImage
The French company which has been delighting in trading with the Terrorist State, has been under investigation for 3 years.

@AUCHAN_France refused to close its operations in #Russia. Tax paid to #Russia helps kill Ukrainians.

Big situation in #Russia this evening.

Locals in the border region of #Bryansk report shelling at, or near, the railway station.

The local Governor says two people were killed in the village of Suzemka when a house suffered a direct hit.
#RussiaOnFire

This blaze broke out at 8pm tonight at a factory in #Perm.

The Motovilikha plant used to supply shells and other ammo for the Defence industry and may have restarted production since the war began.

Officials only say a transformer box was on fire.
#StopRussia
#Putin is wanted on war crimes charges for the forced deportation (i.e. kidnapping) of children from #Ukraine

It's now known around 100,000 children were given "medicals" and 70% found to have "chronic problems" which required them to be sent to #Russia😡

I'll quote a favourite saying in Ukraine.
Day 1579 of Russia's war 'didn't start with coffee' especially in occupied Crimea.

Here comes another of my daily threads, with all the important news from Ukraine, and I've still not missed a single day.
Those with me just a few hours ago will already know the early hours saw a huge attack on Crimea.

Before that more war crimes from Russia, while the Poland-Ukraine spat spirals out of control.
Missed anything? Here's the link to catch-up:

Many targets in Crimea have been hit, indeed on both sides of the illegal bridge linking Russia with the annexed peninsula.

Energy infrastructure have been hit, causing power cuts in Sevastopol, Alushta, Krasnoperekopsk + Armiansk among others.

Half of June has already gone and still no resolution to the war in Ukraine. But Moscow is reaping what is sows.

This is THE daily thread for Tuesday - all the news every single day.

We've reached Day 1574
I keep garnering new followers, but X keeps taking followers away without them choosing to unfollow.
But daily views of the thread are slowly increasing again, now around 12k a day.
But we used to be at 25-30k

Y'day was another important and long thread:
1/2
Ukraine delivered a message to Moscow during the night. The message was delivered by Dr One in spectacular fashion.

Here's the translated meaning of Magyar's team, the day after Ukraine's most important religious site was hit by the war criminals. Image

It's Day 1573 and the attempted genocide by Russia continued through the night.

Killing the people of Ukraine, its first responders and the most sacred religious site in the country.

The world looks on, shaking its head. If Putin's Nazism isn't stopped, it will reach you soon.
This is THE daily thread with fact-checked news of everything that's happening in Ukraine (and Russia).

The overnight attack by Russia was already underway when I finished Sunday's thread - here's the link if you missed anything on a busy day:

1/3
The main temple of Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra is over 1,000 years old.

The Assumption Cathedral was built in 1078, three centuries before Moscow existed.

The Mongols badly damaged it in the 13th century.
700 years later it was blown up in WWII
Now the new Nazi invaders did this:

Day 1560 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and this morning Russia's predicted massive attack has arrived.

Multiple civilians have been murdered and the number is growing.
As I always say, this happens because we in the west have been too weak to stop it.

Here's the daily🧵
There was a lot of destruction yesterday too, though Ukraine stuck to hitting military logistics and fuel targets.

It's caused continuing near-panic for invading Russians, and results can be seen at gas stations.
Catch-up here:

This morning, not just Kyiv badly attacked.
In fact, at the moment, more people are known to have died in Dnipro then the capital and that's where I'll start.

5 killed and 25 injured there plus 3 more wounded in Kamianske in the wider region. Image

Hello again.
Day 1552. A holiday in many countries "Whit Monday" in most, Spring holiday in others (inc UK) and Memorial Day in the U.S

But after 4 years and 3 months, memorials are still being made in Ukraine because our leaders, collectively, let them down.
Here's the daily🧵
I'm still not quite sure where Saturday ended and Sunday began - the days merged into one for me.
What I do know is there were >120 new posts over the 48 hours, that's an average one story every 24 minutes, over the entire two days.

Here's Sunday's link:
1/2
There are new murderous attacks by Russia already today in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Explosions have been heard in the city of Dnipro after an alert for ballistic missiles. Smoke can be seen, but no initial news of widespread damage, so hopefully air defence did its job. Image

Here we go again then. Day 1550 of Ukrainians wondering if they, their home, their relatives, will be bombed today.

About 16 million people have been born in the US and 15m in the EU since Russia started its full invasion of Ukraine.

Welcome to Saturday's daily🧵
Friday was a cracking thread, with vodka cheaper than a single tomato, legless Russians celebrating, Moscow claiming a college in occupied Luhansk wasn't housing Rubicon pilots and their drones and Ukraine causing more mayhem deep inside Russia.

#UkraineSanctions have been successfully employed again!

Lots of action in Russia last night, even before I closed the thread. Around 8am this morning another Ukraine strike in Perm' region, a distance of about 1700km.
