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.

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😡

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.
