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.
The start of a new week and simultaneously almost the end of 167 weeks of Russia's attempt to liberate Ukraine from its leader and remove the country from maps.
It's Day 1167 of Putin's full invasion. Welcome to Monday's daily thread.
First the link back to Sunday's thread for those who were busy y'day
It started with Ukraine counting the cost of yet more strikes on civilians and infrastructure but there were more strategic hits on Russia during the day, incl a night attack on Moscow.
Day 1163 of Russia's war of choice, invading a peaceful neighbour.
Another bloody and murderous night in Ukraine, but the pressure is all on Russia today as Ukraine signs the minerals deal, the US (finally) continues its shift against Putin and the oil price dives
Here's THE🧵
Good morning and happy May (or MayDay).
I have to say a new month brings new optimism for Ukraine following the US/Ukraine agreement.
That was the biggest news story of a near 50-post thread.
It took me ages - least you can do is read it!😂
Day 1158 of the war in Europe.
This is the daily thread for Saturday 26 April, and as I mentioned last night, the anniversary of the Chornobyl disaster.
A later start today, sorry if I kept you waiting, but let's waste no more time...
Yesterday we saw Russia attack civilians of course, but we also probably also got a reminder of the power of Ukraine's Military Intelligence, as a Russian general and a weapons designer were both confirmed dead.
Hello at the start of another weekend, Day 1151 of the war in Europe.
Day by day the US paves the way for capitulation.
Trump may pretend there was no war in his first term, but his administration said it would never recognise Crimea.
This is THE daily thread for Saturday.
Here's the link for the start of yesterday's thread.
Visibility is still low - 15k views.
Plenty to get your teeth into.. 100 fleeing Russian refuseniks, tRUmp on the verge of failure, and of course the attacks on Ukraine.
Catch up here:
With even tRUmp slowly realising he's been played by Putin all along with no intent on peace, Russia has upped the aerial attack on its next targets for invasion.
Sumy, Kostiantynivka + Kupiansk feel the full force.
In the latter 10 glide bombs in one day with 5 people injured.
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
