Artillery systems and cruise missile destroyed by #Ukraine are the only numbers significantly above the daily mean in the morning report by #Kyiv.
#Russia losing fewer than 500 men in the last 24 hours, which is lower than late, but about the average for the whole war.
I may have a new hero!
Leonid Yakovlevich Gozman is a liberal in #Russia and a former colleague of murdered Boris Nemtsov in the Union of Right Forces.
He tells it like it is in #Ukraine.
Criminals running "DPR" + "LPR"
Nothing bad happened under Ukraine rule in #Sloviansk
There were reports this morning of a single "boom" similar to a military explosion, in #Melitopol'
I've been hoping for more info, but as of yet nothing further to report.
The departure board says destination Eurovision Song Contest! #SlavaUkraini
I reported late last night on explosions in #Kramatorsk.
We can now see the damage. The target seems to have been this school complex, but #Russia missed, leaving a big hole in the field and a lot of smashed windows.
Police have arrested the 39 year old driver of this car, who says he covered a dent in the bumper and it was "an accident" that it happened to be in the colours of #Ukraine's 🇺🇦🤣👌
But what law has he broken? Insane.
Dating app #Tinder has decided to quit #Russia.
Its app will cease to function after 30 June according to the company.
Police in #Russia have video of the guys who posted photos of #Ukraine's Intelligence Chief around #Moscow. The signs said "Our President" alongisde Kyrylo Budanov's pic.
Awaiting details of an explosion reported in #Zaporizhzhia, but we do now know that 3 civilians were killed + 5 injured by #Russia's bombs in #Kherson region.
Aerial bombs hit an island near the village of Veletenske.
Earlier today I decided not to publish a video of a young teen in #Yalta, #Crimea when asked if he was scared of a #Ukraine counterattack said he was "for Ukraine"
He's already been arrested and forced to make an apology to the citizens and country of #Russia and Putin.
The fear is what will happen to the boy now the cameras are off.
A drone has been shot down in #Dnipropetrovsk, while in #Zaporizhzhia S-300 missile(s) are said to have been intercepted and neutralised.
No reports yet of any of #Russia's missiles or UAVs hitting targets.
Wow, a late night gift. Thank you so much @gq52.
Good timing, I need a coffee now after this unexpected extra work as #Ukraine fends off another missile attack.
This is the start of THE daily thread covering all things Ukraine.
Reliable, accurate information for 1124 days as Russia and its willing accomplices (Iran, North Korea and MAGA-land) try to destroy Ukraine, its culture and its democracy to make it a vassal state.
Here's the🧵
Yesterday started with shocking lies and propaganda from the White House and ended with another massive attack by Russia, knowing tRUmp and co don't mind at all.

The war Russia inflicted on Ukraine enters Day 1120
Ukraine, a country which never invaded another, never killed anyone abroad; a fully democratic nation where only one President has ever won a second term in office.
Here's THE daily thread for Wednesday, with all the news.
Yesterday was all about the ritual humiliation of tRUmp, dished out by Putin, and the US president's brain being too rusty to realise.
I also indulged in a long sub-thread on my fears about what's happening in Washington DC.
Catch up here:
It's official. tRUmp's supposed skill at making a deal is absolutely RANK
Russia
Afghanistan
NK (North Korea)
#TraitorTrump promised a deal with his mate in NK, got nothing.
He handed the Taliban everything, got nothing.
Now, ending the war in 24 hours turned into humiliation
Putin, the aggressor, the war criminal, presiding over countless heinous crimes, executions, kidnapping of children, is about to be given a pass by Donald J Trump.
The despot and the wannabe talk today.
This is THE daily thread
Yesterday saw an explosive end to a day which started with mystery surrounding a Ukraine hit in Russia, and moved through the thread with some harrowing and shocking tales and scenes from Kherson.
Welcome to my daily thread, covering all things #Ukraine every single day since even before the first day of Russia's full invasion.
This is Day 1110 of Putin's long promised land grab - he's also pledged to reunite the rest of the USSR.
More atrocities overnight, let's begin:
For those loving people who urge me to get more sleep, you will be pleased to know there was no alarm this morning; I am refreshed and ready to tackle JD TRussia again.
A busy Friday ended with news of the awful attack in free Donetsk, catch up here:
Today sees the completion of 3 years of full scale war unleashed by #Russia on #Ukraine.
As signs point to an end to this war relatively soon, the ONLY question which should be asked is: are you happy to reward war-criminal terrorists with land?
Here's THE daily thread:
It's Day 1096 of #Russia 's war.
If you missed anything yesterday, catch up on Saturday's news here:
1/2 The #UK is in full focus today.
As @Keir_Starmer prepares to fly to Washington, new sanctions will be unveiled tomorrow.
Foreign Sec @DavidLammy says it will be "the largest package of sanctions against #Russia since the early days of the war eroding its military machine."
Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.
Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.
On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:
