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
The @TheStudyofWar reports #Ukraine gained a couple of kilometres in the #Zaporizhzhia offensive yesterday which I touched on.

There's no confirmation from #Ukraine's army and #Russia claimed it had taken most of the land back.
Proof of #Iran selling arms to #Russia

It was always known but now Sky says it has a paper trail

news.sky.com/story/arms-con…
The UK update also concentrates on Iran's drones.

#FriendlyFire

Traffic police have shot a soldier in #Belgorod region

When a vehicle failed to stop in Krutoy Log, the officers gave chase. But their attempts to hit the tyres resulted in a mobilised 22 year old in the passenger seat getting shot in the chest.

He's in hospital
A 17 year old has been detained after a fire at another military recruiting office in #Russia.

The student threw a Molotov Cocktail at the building in #Chelyabinsk region.
After his arrest he said it was a protest against the war.

I'm sure a load of 17 year olds feel the same.
#RussiaOnFire

Authorities stress the burning down of a traffic police building in #Krasnoyarsk was not sabotage!

Local officials are blaming wiring... Oh and the fire alarm didn't work and the place was well ablaze before anyone noticed. Image
#Russia says two drones fell on a motorway in the #Kaluga region.

The UAVs came down within 10 miles (16km) of each other during the night.

There was no explosion and the scene is under investigation.

#StandWithUkraine Image
#FriendlyFire

Six people are dead in #Ulyanovsk region of #Russia after drinking poisoned alcohol.

In total 11 people have been poisoned so far in 3 days in the town of #Dimitrovgrad.
Media are making way too much of what was one of many attacks by #Ukraine in recent weeks

Nor should we believe #Russia killed 250 soldiers in beating off the offensive in the #Zaporizhzhia direction of #Donetsk

There was an attack & pushback. This is not THE counter offensive.
#RussiaOnFire

This chapter comes from #NizhnyNovgorod

Flames erupted in the appropriately named "Krasnaya (red) Etna" factory.

The place deals in plastics and manufacturing fasteners. ImageImageImageImage
In #Kherson one man died and a woman was injured in shelling both last nigh and this morning by #Russia's invaders.

A hospital was among buildings hit but none of the 144 patients or 35 staff was injured.
A security guard at another "critical infrastructure" was also wounded. ImageImage
Having major issues with Twitter right now. Cannot upload any attachments. Will try later.
Nothing urgent just a couple of rail sabotage videos.
Seems #Russia's top ice dance team will compete for #Georgia.

The rebel Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK) says it's still inside #Russia's borders.

“Despite the assurances of the authorities, the RDK fighters continue to control #NovayaTavolzhanka"

The claims cannot be independently verified.

#StandWithUkraine #FreeRussia
From "Kyiv in 3 days" to crying about #Ukraine being "vile" to "their boys" by firing back!

Times are a changin' for #Russia and its propaganda outfits as Ruslan explains here:

Fierce battle again this lunchtime in the #Vuhledar to #Zaporizhzhia area.

Nothing can be confirmed on either side but I think #Ukraine has made progress on the front line at Novopol-Novodarovka in #Donetsk region.

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.

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.

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.
