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:
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:
Putin, the aggressor, the war criminal, presiding over countless heinous crimes, executions, kidnapping of children, is about to be given a pass by Donald J Trump.
The despot and the wannabe talk today.
This is THE daily thread
Yesterday saw an explosive end to a day which started with mystery surrounding a Ukraine hit in Russia, and moved through the thread with some harrowing and shocking tales and scenes from Kherson.
Welcome to my daily thread, covering all things #Ukraine every single day since even before the first day of Russia's full invasion.
This is Day 1110 of Putin's long promised land grab - he's also pledged to reunite the rest of the USSR.
More atrocities overnight, let's begin:
For those loving people who urge me to get more sleep, you will be pleased to know there was no alarm this morning; I am refreshed and ready to tackle JD TRussia again.
A busy Friday ended with news of the awful attack in free Donetsk, catch up here:
Today sees the completion of 3 years of full scale war unleashed by #Russia on #Ukraine.
As signs point to an end to this war relatively soon, the ONLY question which should be asked is: are you happy to reward war-criminal terrorists with land?
Here's THE daily thread:
It's Day 1096 of #Russia 's war.
If you missed anything yesterday, catch up on Saturday's news here:
Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.
Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.
On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:
Good morning world, on Day 1076 of #Russia's genocidal war on #Ukraine
It's now 14 days since Trump's inauguration & no peace deal, but his "peace envoy" Kellogg is expected to visit both aggressor and defender soon.
Here's Monday's daily thread. All you need to be in the know
Daily🧵views were slightly up over the weekend, which is heartening as it's a critical time.
#Ukraine is starting to hurt #Russia logistically, while Putin responds by killing civilians, confident he'll soon get a Trump-pass.
Sunday 19 January is Day 1061 of #Russia's all-out war in #Ukraine. We are also just 2 weeks away from the 4,000th day since #Moscow's initial invasion with the start of its illegal takeover of #Crimea
Welcome to another daily thread with all the news you need in one place 💙💛
Thankfully a quieter start to Sunday than yesterday, which means I get a later start today.
Saturday was all about #Russia's double ballistic attack which brought death to 2 #Ukraine cities.
Catch up on that and all yesterday's stories here⬇️
Hello on Day 1054 of #Russia's terrorist campaign in #Ukraine.
I've been working for a while today, tidying up loose ends, but a late start to the daily thread - the only feed you need for all the important news and analysis.
So a lot to catch up on, let's go again!
Normally I pin the first post of the thread on my profile page, but for another 24 hours the pinned item is about the auction for a truly unique item - please check it out
So, it's even more important I post a link back to yesterday's thread. Here we are
Christmas Day 2024. Day 1036 of the war inflicted on #Ukraine. The third Christmas for Ukrainian people to suffer. Empty chairs at the dinner table, that will never be filled again. Others at the frontline fighting for their lives and the life of the country.
It's the daily🧵
So Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah to those celebrating.
A special shout out too, to those working this special day. Also working today, emergency workers in #Ukraine after another massive missile attack
Day 1001 of #Russia's all out war in #Ukraine.
The genocide & attempt to wipe its neighbour from the map continues, but #Putin's increasingly desperate.
Welcome to another daily🧵
Breaking news already early this Wednesday morning.
All the news, all day (and night) every day.
Tuesday 19 November was always going to be special. Day 1,000 and what a day it proved.
Record likes and retweets, thanks to everyone who revived my faith in the T witter audience🫂
Tuesday 19 November 2024.
I can't quite believe we reached 1,000 days.
#Ukraine is still free, refusing to buckle to the imperialist #Russia
I'm incredibly proud to have documented every single moment, no days off, no holiday, no sickness.
UkrainaOnline encapsulated 1000 days
If you like what I do, if you've never done it before, please consider buying me a coffee on this milestone day. It took a hell of a lot of work.
It's cold in the UK today. Imagine if you didn't have heat. Not just for one day, but maybe for most of the winter Now imagine it's 10 degrees colder
If you can do that you understand what people in #Ukraine feel, or fear.
Welcome to my daily🧵
Monday and Tuesday are days of mourning in #Sumy region after an horrific attack on an apartment block.
It was the last in a long line of murders of civilians by #Russia on Sunday.
I produced the longest thread for months (over 60 posts) - catch up here
Day 998 of #Russia's all out war, and Sunday 17 Nov is the day #Moscow's war criminals chose for the big missile attack on #Ukraine
It's such a difficult time for anyone associated with Ukraine. With the election of Musk/Trump, Putin's convinced terrorism will win.
Here's the🧵
Before I forget, here's the link for yesterday's thread. I know many of you like to catch up on what you've missed in #Ukraine and stories connected to the war.
Hello and welcome to Day 996 of #Russia's barbaric war.
Putin's band of war criminals is throwing everything at #Ukraine's defenders for 2 months as the Kremlin is certain tRUmp will force negotiations and wants to be in the strongest position possible.
Here's the daily thread
#Russia is literally teetering on the edge of economic meltdown. If the west does not take this opportunity to ensure justice, protect borders and prosecute war criminals, historians will look back and shake their heads. They may also ask why do anything in the previous 3 years?

Very near 1000 days of war in Europe, but also we should remember that #Ukraine's allies were pretty happy to let the first invasion by #Russia in 2014 go unchecked.
Weakness, appeasement or shady deals for cash only store up and multiply problems.
Here my daily🧵on Day 995
First thing first, the link for the start of yesterday's thread.
Plenty of evidence of #Russia's pending economic collapse, especially masses of airlines. Plus rioting absconders in Russia and assassination of one of their war criminals. All in here⬇️
