Day 466 of the daily thread covering the #UkraineRussianWar begins here.

All the news and analysis, throughout the day and night - looks like little sleep again tonight as it's believed #Russia has fired cruise missiles, currently an hour away from hitting #Ukraine.

#StopRussia
The situation is still developing. We hope the missile launch was a fake, or dummy warheads to "draw out" #Ukraine's air defence.

For all yesterday's news, including the terrible attack on #Dnipro, click and scroll here:
#StandWithUkraine

Also hearing now that cruise-missile laden ships are in the launch zone in the Black Sea. This is not uncommon, but #Russia's current tactic of a mixed missile attack increases the likelihood of ships being involved.

Estimated time of arrival of rockets: 03:10 Kyiv time.
There have been a couple of drones flying over #Ukraine, but in the southern region of #Mykolaiv they say they've shot down all of the UAVs, without stating how many.

No reports of damage.

Reminder, we still don't know if #Russia's Caspian Sea missile launch is genuine or fake.
The red on the map continues expanding westwards.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia Image
Shahed killer drones still thought to be in the #Sumy and #Poltava regions.

The first long range missiles are thought to be entering #Ukraine airspace now.
The alert has now spread over the entire country.
Late yesterday in occupied #Donetsk region, rockets flew into #Horlivka.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia ImageImage
Rockets are into #Dnipropetrovsk region, just hours after the horrific attack on a house just outside #Dnipro city.

It's likely at this stage #Kyiv is again the target, if indeed the rockets contain warheads.

#StopRussia
Explosions reported in #Crimea, near the Dzhankoy air base. Unconfirmed.
In #Kyiv air defence takes out at least one missile.
Another missile reported to have been shot down in #Kropyvnytskyi.
#Russia's missiles are strangely circling in central #Ukraine right now.

It's assumed to be "searching" for air defences on the approaches/flight routes to #Kyiv.
"Mopeds" (drones) heard over #Dnipropetrovsk now.

Air Defence is engaged.
The air raid alert should be lifted soon.

No more threats remain.

One missile was hit in #Kropyvynytskyi but there were later reports of explosions nearer the centre of the city. It may have been air defence.
Explosions in #Crimea now confirmed by one reliable media group in #Russia.

The invaders' army is saying it was "an unknown drone" which was shot down in #Dzhankoy.

Despite the alleged success of air defence, "several private houses have been damaged."
In #Sumy some locals say they can hear explosions. I don't think any ballistic missiles remain, so could be a drone or shelling. Sumy region gets hit every single day somewhere.
#FriendlyFire

Maybe I shouldn't use the hashtag; it's nothing to do with the war as far as I know. But in #Russia's second city of #StPetersburg a huge brawl erupted.

It seems to be between workers + those in civilian clothes. Police deny knowing anything despite sirens heard!
This looks much better!

Air raid warnings are cancelled in #Kyiv region and all central and western states.

The capital itself always a little slower to give the all-clear as drones can evade radars for longer in big cities with many high-rise buildings. Image
Explosions in occupied #Donetsk.
No further details yet.
#Kyiv is also free to leave shelters and sleep!

It remains to be seen how many missiles were fired and if they had active warheads. But the psychological torture continues from #Russia and sleep-deprivation is one of their weapons.

Almost time for sleep for me too...
One more story I had to share of #Russia's incompetence - and this is from a pro-🇷🇺 channel in #Crimea.

A house completely burned down. It shoudn't have done but one fire truck couldn't get there and the other had no water! There are only 2 fire trucks in the whole region🤡🤡 ImageImage
Updating details from the overnight attacks.
First, the feared news that a 2 year old girl's body was found in the rubble in #Dnipro where #Russia's missiles hit residential houses.

22 others were injured including 5 kids.
#RussiaIsATerroristState ImageImageImageImage
In the later attack, six air based cruise missiles were launched above the Caspian Sea by #Russia's bombers.

Four were shot down, with both the other two hitting an airfield in #Kropyvnytskyi (RU: #Kirovograd)
Damage has not been specified.

3 drones were also taken down.
UPD

I deleted the previous post as new details came in from #Sumy which was hit by #Russia's attack drones overnight.

The Shaheds hit the border community of Seredyno-Budsk . An agriculture company, workshops, private cars and a park were all damaged.
No casualties reported.
The "Liberty of Russia Legion" have published a new video of ongoing battles in #Belgorod region.

The rebels state active fighting continues around Novaya Tavolzhanka in the #Shebekinsky district.

#Shebekino #Russia #StopRussia
"Paranoia" in the "increasingly totalitarian state" is the theme of today's update from British Intelligence.

They reference examples I've reported on here so will be familiar to many of you.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia #FreeRussia Image
On to #Russia's losses in the last 24 hours (#Ukraine's estimate)

Artillery systems destroyed is 3 times above the mean. Also notable 2 anti aircraft products.

Tanks and soldiers killed are almost bang-on average. Image
Shocking figures from the inspection of bomb shelters in #Kyiv.

45% of the more than 1000 supposed safe places are unusable according to the report.
122 were locked and 359 were unfit.

Zelenskyy will attack Klitschko again! Image
#Russia has admitted the attack on #Crimea I wrote about early in today's thread.

They release these photos, obviously showing minimal damage in the town of #Dzhankoy and nothing from the airfield which may have been hit.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome ImageImageImageImage
#Russia is probably killing dolphins as well as civilians.

Already in 2023 the bodies of 116 of the adorable creatures have been washed up on shores of occupied #Crimea. Recorded sightings are down 90%.

Electronic jamming causes havoc with the dolphins' sonar/radar. Image

Hello again. A new week begins and Day 467 of Europe's war.

All the important stuff from #Russia's illegal war and #Ukraine's defence is here in one place, as always!
Updates throughout the day, each day.

Thanks for reading, replying, boosting, contributing!
Read on...
Sunday's thread was a bit crazy and very long!

#Russia army was in the novel position of having prisoners of war taken by three different factions!

Mass brawls in Russia & a very sad story about dolphins.

Yep all those stories and more. Catch up here⬇️
#Russia's losses a little more stable today but troop deaths pass 210,000.

Also, it's not clear if these estimates from #Ukraine include Kremlin losses to Russian rebel units and #Wagner 😜🤣 Image

1/
A short thread:
I am still asked from time to time to comment on #Covid19 factors. I was alerted to this alarming post, and yes it looks awful.

So let me quickly guide you through some facts.
Spolier: it's definitely NOT vaccines killing people

2/

First let's look at why there are much lower excess death increases in say, Bulgaria and Romania than other nations.

Simple fact is these two countries have the worst life expectancy/most deaths in the EU, the fewest old people. Therefore any increase is likely to be lower.
3/
It should be pointed out excess deaths are falling significantly in early 2023.

There are many good graphs and explainers in this report. 100% proof in there that vaccinated people are NOT dying more than unvaxed.

Good morning, welcome to Daily Thread number 465 covering #Ukraine's heroic defence against #Russia's illegal aggression.

I've been here from (before) the start of war, reporting on (sometimes from) a country I've loved, worked + lectured in many, many times.
Overnight was quiet
Before we get stuck in to today's news, a gentle reminder these threads are basically an unpaid full time job - actually more than that as you get days off with a job! Coffee donations welcome (link in Bio)

To catch up on Friday's news, click here
A few drones buzzed #Ukraine yesterday evening but air raids did not last long and no damage was reported.

The drone/cruise missile numbers on #Russia's daily losses are high as they include Friday morning's attacks.
Artillery, special equipment & fuel tanks way above average Image

Day 464 of #Russia's illegal war in #Ukraine starts with another horrendous wait to see if air defence can protect them as cruise missiles head towards them as I type.

This is THE daily thread with all the news of the brutal war in one place, updated all day (and night!)
So much happened yesterday - here's the link to the start of Thursday's thread.

Deaths from #Russia's missiles because shelters were locked
#Crimea bridge falling down?
Big explosions in #Belgorod + #Kursk regions and the rebel Russian units attack again

Almost all of #Ukraine is under threat right now. Sirens sound across the country except for a handful of western regions.

#Cherkasy, just south of #Kyiv is initially thought to be in the firing line of the missiles launched by #Russia from bombers over the Caspian Sea. Image

The start of meteorological summer. It's also the start of the 17th month which has seen war in #Ukraine.
It's Day 463 of #Russia's illegal war and Thursday is another day which has started with murder in #Kyiv.

All the important news and analysis in one thread, starts here:
First, a quick reminder that you can access all yesterday's developments in #Ukraine in this link to the start of Wednesday's thread⬇️

Thanks to all my followers, boosters, story suggesters and financial supporters (see my profile for the link)

1/ Attack on #Kyiv

The first day of summer is Children's Day in #Ukraine. Yesterday schools closed for the summer.
In the first few hours of this special day, an 11 year old child was killed, murdered by #Russia's missiles, along with two adults in their 30s.

Day 462 of #Europe's war, the last day of May.

Mercifully a quiet morning so far this Wednesday in #Ukraine

This is my 462nd daily thread.
All the info you need about #Russia's attack in one handy thread, updated throughout the day.

You can support me with a coffee (see bio)🙏
If you happen to have missed all yesterday's news, put the kettle on and prepare for a long read!

Here's the link for yesterday's thread on what happened in #Ukraine and #Russia.
#SlavaUkraini

The biggest event overnight happened in #Russia's #Krasnodar region.

Drones hit the Afipsky Oil Refinery and a fire soon took hold, although it's since been extinguished; no-one was hurt.

About 150km from the front, that's less fuel helping Russia kill Ukrainians.
