Welcome to the daily war thread for Tuesday 20 June 2023.
Can you believe it's Day 482 of #Russia's full invasion?
Each day a new 🧵 with all the important news in one place, updated live.

Already a busy day for #Ukraine's air defenders as #Russia launched drone attacks..
First a quick reminder that the link below is the start of yesterday's thread in case you wish to scroll through at your leisure to catch up on what you missed.

Also don't forget DMs open for tip-offs and stories % donations of coffee welcome too, see bio
Two days ago an enormous cargo plane arrived in #Russia from #Iran.

So no surprise that recent nights of 3-6 drones suddenly became this:

32 Iranian attack drones shot down in the last 24 hours by #Ukraine. But it two managed to get through defences.

So two of #Russia's (#Iran's) drones managed to hit #Ukraine overnight.
There was some damage in #Zaporizhzhia, which also has to repel S-300 missiles launched by the Terrorist state.

In #Lviv "criticial infrastructure" was damaged this morning, followed by a fire.
No injuries,
#Kyiv shot down around 20 UAVs last night in the first direct attack on the capital in 18 days.
A nice calling card from #Tehran, clearly a joint operation by the two Terrorist States.

There were power cuts in northern suburbs and problems with the metro, both are now fixed.
As I already mentioned, #Zaporizhzhia was targeted last night and througout the day.

Officials recorded 72 attacks on civilian objects in 19 towns and villages.

A 54-year-old man received mine-explosive injuries in Orikhiv. He's the only reported casualty in ZP.

So many things to point out on a day of huge losses for #Russia.

The daily figures just released by #Ukraine show over 1,000 more dead invaders (so probably around another 2,000 seriously wounded)

Another helicopter and loads of fuel tanks and artillery/rocket systems. Image
"deeply unfortunate" - a strange choice of words by #London today in its' daily report!

I'm enjoying the show and prelude to the civil war in #Russia. Image
Supposedly from yesterday. #Russia collecting yet more killing aids from its terrorist ally.

In #Vladikavkaz in southern #Russia, this device was found on a support of a pedestrian bridge.

Authorities don't yet know whether it's a live device or a fake. Image

Welcome to another week of daily threads on Europe's war. Updated throughout the day (and night) every single day.

It's Day 481 of #Russia's illegal full invasion of #Ukraine.

To review Sunday's thread, click here.
I tempted fate by saying I was hoping for sleep. Soon enough alarms were sounding in the south of #Ukraine.

Suspected cruise missiles launched from #Russia's Black Sea Fleet, and #Odesa has reported explosions. Hopefully it's just air defence.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Good news is just coming in from #Odesa (RU: #Odessa) where it seems to be quiet now.

There were reported to be three targets - all three may have been shot down. I'm not hearing of damage yet.

Day 480 of the war. #Russia defending stubbornly with reinforced lines in the areas of #Ukraine they stole.

But I think the real push, with most forces, is yet to come. Here's another daily thread. There's been one every day, but I do need support pls!

Yesterday's thread can be found on the link below, click and scroll if you missed anything.

Loads of nice photos and videos in Saturday's thread and how there seems to have been a #Russia-#Africa plot to deny missile strikes, but Russia's MoD messed up!

Who doesn't like a bit of alliteration? And here are some sweet Sunday sounds to start your day.

Less than 20km north of #Henichesk in #Kherson region there was a big explosion, then many, many more in the village of #Rykove as #Russia's weapon/ammo store there went up in smoke!

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!

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

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
