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'

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.

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.

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.
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..
Day 1201 of Europe's war.
But the pre-conflict hybrid war has already been waging worldwide for years. Hacking, election interference, sabotage - we're all targeted by Russia, even if we don't all realise it yet.
Ukraine can stop the war criminal with our help.
Welcome to the🧵
Maybe Sunday will bless Ukraine with a quiet day?
Saturday was another full-on journalistic stint, catching sleep when I could.
Kharkiv shattered overnight then a daytime attack on a kids' railway.
Operation Web 2.0 & a factory hit in Russia.
It's all ⬇️
1/2 Early this morning, just before the end of the previous thread I showed the Azot chemical plant in Tula region on fire.
Not long afterwards, Ukraine hit another facility, this time in Russia-controlled 🇺🇦
This is the Hydromash factory in Melitopol' in occupied Zaporizhzhia.
Day 1194 of Putin's war, though let's remember the initial invasion came 11 years ago.
Since February 2014, not once have western sanctions or military support come close to being enough to restore justice and defeat evil.
Welcome to THE daily 🇺🇦 thread for Sunday 1 June
A new day, a new season. Summer officially started, but nothing is likely to change just yet.
Y'day's thread had some great stories, but everything paled into insignificance when justy before midnight came news of a disaster in Russia's Bryansk region:
Another night of no sleep yet - dramatic action in Moscow.
Time to start another daily thread covering everything to do with Putin's disastrous 'operation' in Ukraine.
It's 5am in Russia and Ukraine, on Day 1190 of the war.
Let's begin...
I've still NEVER missed even one day since the start of Russia's full invasion.
But yesterday's thread ended up being one of the most lively. Another near 50-post story of the day, and if you like seeing "bavovna" in Russia, go right through to the end!
