Tuesday 21 May 2024 and welcome to the start of the daily 🧵 for Day 818 of
#Russia
's invasion. All the news,all day in one handy thread.
To catch up on
#Ukraine
news you missed on Monday, just click here.
It's Day 817 of
#Russia
's full invasion of
#Ukraine
.
This is the start of another daily thread, tracking, reporting, verifying and analysing all the important news, all day, every day.
If you like what I do please considering buying a "KoFi" to support (see profile). Thanks💙💛
Gifts for the frontline in
#Ukraine
arrived from
#Sweden
.
Wait... aren't they supposed to be allies?
(if you've never heard about fermented herring, this vid tells you everything about the 'delicacy'!)
Thx to
@europe_northern
for the video.
This is incredibly emotional and respectful.
I've witnessed this in 2014, when Russia first invaded
#Ukraine
.
A fallen soldier returned home this evening. His last journey
Those investigative geniuses at the FSB earlier issued photos of the wanted terrorists.
Guess what? The guys recognised photos of themselves and took selfies to prove their innocence. One was in Samara others are back in Tajikistan.
All the detained suspects are in fact Russian!

Strange events in
#Iran
tonight
Looks like a dose of their own medicine with reports of a drone attack on a Ministry of Defence building in the city of
#Isfahan
.
This is said to be an ammunition production centre.
It's bad enough, but understandable I guess, when
@Pontifex
meets with
#Russia
's terrorists.
But who in their right mind allowed the Pope's Special Representative Cardinal Matteo Zuppi to meet with wanted war criminal Maria Lvova-Belova?
This glorifies child abduction🤮
⚡️BREAKING⚡️
Russian soldiers open fire on crowds in
#Kherson
gathering for the daily protest against the occupying army.
Video is verified.
Incessant fire on unarmed protesters.
Soldiers are edgy as they know
#Ukraine
's army is closing in on efforts to liberate the city
A 16 year old Resistance fighter recorded a last message before being killed by occupiers in
#Berdyansk
.
Tigran Hovhannesyan said "farewell, glory to
#Ukraine
."
Earlier he and another partisan are said to have killed two occupiers, including a policeman.
#Russia
is today glorying in torture of the "suspects" of the
#CrocusCity
terror attack.
Electrocution of the genitals is an FSB favourite. Doused in water to increase the impact.
The scum are so happy, they proudly release photos of the incident.
#RussiaIsAFsscistState
Seldom have I seen anything this surreal.
Tanks on streets, snipers kneeling waiting for the imminent arrival of the Chechen units in what may be one hell of a battle.
And the people of
#Rostov
seem to be blissfully unaware or determined not to move from their front row seats!
2/2
On the same theme, I see US vet
@IhateTrenches
has been banned by this platform. Seems the old adage of truth being the first casualty of war it taken too literally by Elon Muskovy.
Here's Ryan, taking a break from the frontline, to plead for that aid at Congress on Friday
#Ukraine
's flag has been hoisted on another piece of land in
#Kherson
oblast.
The Armed Forces claim to have taken control of largely uninhabited Bolshoi Potemkinsky Island, in the middle of the river Dnipro. It does increase
#Ukraine
's fire control in the region.
Let's start the thread with a chuckle, with this scene from Kazakhstan according to the poster on Telegram.
A middle aged woman telling a couple of guys from
#Russia
exactly what she thinks!
"Putin is a d*ckhead.
#Ukraine
will win. All Kazakhstan hates you!"
An anti war protest on New Year's Night in the very centre of
#Moscow
. Someone from the "Russian Volunteer Corps" has defaced part of the infamous "Z, V, O" installation, with red paint to signify
#Russia
's bloody war.
#StopRussia
Still not much foreign news on UK media for obvious reasons, so in case you missed this:
A China-Telecom skyscraper in
#Changsha
,
#Hunan
province, completely burned down in just 20 minutes.
Some say hundreds may be dead. Claims that 35 tons of fuel for servers were stored there
So Musk's latest unannounced vandalism is to remove old media from Twitter.
Not stuff over 15 years old, or 10 years. He arbitrarily chooses 2014, coveniently removing all photographic and video trace of
#Euromaidan
"Revolution of Dignity" in
#Ukraine
.
Russian tourists arriving on a cruise liner in
#Batumi
,
#Georgia
were "shocked" at protests against their arrival.
Perhaps they forgot their terrorist Motherland stole 2 pieces of
#Georgia
and tries to claim 5 territories in
#Ukraine
.
#RussiansGOHOME
The damage caused by the attack on
#Odesa
y'day was initially thought to be from shrapnel of a downed missile as bits fell across a wide area.
But as can now be proven with this video,
#Russia
fired a missile with cluster munitions in an area full of civilians. Heinous war crime
Day 486 of the war.
#Russia
's plan to take
#Kyiv
in 3 days has morphed expertly into defending the Kremlin, Rada and major cities against their own people!
Masterr strategist indeed, as many western lickpittles referred to
#Putin
!
This is THE thread - with all the news all day
Hahaha! This can be seen in the centre of
#Moscow
near the Krymsky Bridge!
An activist from
@femagainstwar
has floated this banner "V.V.Khuylo" on the river Moskva. It's accompanied by 💙💛
(VV - Putin's initials, Khuylo means d*ckhead)
OMG the guy whose car was mercilessly squashed by a Russian tank, remains alive. Citizens desperately try to rescue him from the wreckage.
#StandWithUkraine
#WarCrimes
Thurs 9 May 2024.
Victory Day in
#Russia
, a country which ignores WW1 and pretends WWII didn't start until 1941, conveniently ignoring its own invasion of
#Poland
in collaboration with the Nazis. Everything is built on lies.
It's also Day 806 of the full invasion of
#Ukraine
.
I didn't get chance to write much about the liberation of
#Chernihiv
after Russian troops withdrew.
Stirring words from the ex-President here in the northern city, which was besieged and cut off from supplies for weeks, but the city did not fall
Yesterday in Chernihiv I saw the consequences of the crimes of Russian looters, rapists, villains, and murderers with my own eyes. In the ordinary square of the city within a radius of 360 degrees, there was not a single house that would not be destroyed
#chernihiv
#StopRussia
Miss Russia's banned from the Miss World contest, following a drunken abusive rant at Miss Ukraine
It happened at a Miss Europe contest. On the girls' bus Roza Gadieva shouted at Milena Melnychuk "Hey Miss Ukraine. Do you have a war? Why shake your tits at a beauty pageant?"
Day 592 - and each and every day I've been here reporting all the news from the
#RussiaUkraineWar
in one handy thread.
There's recently been a marked decrease in views as many followers say I'm hidden from them. So please repost, reply, like and support with a Ko-Fi if you can🙏
Mayor of
#Kyiv
Vitaly Klichko (Klitschko) leading by example, preparing to defend his city.
Don't forget the people of Ukraine are defending the west, defending democracy
#StandWithUkriane
You may have already seen this, but it was funny.
Even in
#India
the audience just blatantly laugh at the Terrorist State's FM when he says
#Ukraine
started the war!
How does Lavrov keep a straight face?
My most difficult day on Twitter ever.
Fighting back tears watching the trail of destruction and total disregard for human life (Ukrainian and Russia) as Putin's goons batter Kyiv and numerous other cities for zero reason other than to satisfy a psychopath.
Be strong Ukraine💛💙
New Year's Day. Also known as Day 677 for those who know, and care about the future of the free world.
#Russia
continues its illegal and unjustifiable war. There are two ways to stop.
1 - give in, wait for NATO to be invaded
2 - defeat Russia now
Welcome to the daily🧵
News coming in of a potentially huge hit by
#Ukraine
on invaders near
#Kherson
.
Even sources inside
#Russia
suggesting their 7th Airborne Division HQ was struck today. Many officers are believed to have been killed.
This news is NOT verified.
The order has gone out to
#Russia
's keyboard warriors, troll farms and useful idiots.
The 4 Ds - Dismiss, Distort, Distract, Dismay make the big D of Disinformation.
Being bombarded with nutters and paid war criminal supporters today.

While breaching
#Russia
's border with some ease it would appear, the Siberia Legion had this message:
"Ballots and polling stations now are fiction. You can only change your life for the better with a weapon in your hands. Anyone against tyranny must make the right choice."
By the way there won't be any big celebrations of
#Ukraine
's Independence Day, not even a public holiday on Wednesday.
But there was a party atmosphere in
#Maidan
in central
#Kyiv
last night. The ruins of Russia's military equipment the backdrop for a relaxed summer night.
#Ukraine
's
#YellowRibbon
Resistance group is trying to prove to Elon Musk that he's wrong.
@elonmusk
recently said there is no anti-Russian insurgency in occupied "Russian-speaking areas of Ukraine"
Somehow he doesn't seem to hear about the attacks on occupiers or see the pics
In occupied
#Kherson
big losses reported for
#Russia
#Ukraine
's South command says it again hit Kakhovskyi bridge by Kakhovka hydroelectric plant
In 4 strikes in the area, they claim destruction of:
73 🇷🇺 troops
3 tanks
4 launchers
1 air defence radar
5 armoured vehicles
Ammo
For the final time in 2023 I begin another daily thread with all the news of
#Russia
's crazy all-out war on
#Ukraine
.
It's Day 676 of the full invasion.
With Twitter's algorithms messing things up, please boost, retweet, like... and if you can afford to buy me a coffee see bio!
Hello and welcome to Day 289 of the inhumane war in
#Ukraine
.
My day started like this, no power, no WiFi, no signal... Then woken by the schoolboy error of leaving the light switch on, so at 03.45 here I am starting another daily thread documenting
#Russia
's crimes:
#Russia
has unexpectedly closed the
#Crimea
bridge. Drivers have been told all traffic is stopped until 06:00 in the morning.
#Ukraine
sources say this is not a safety measure - more likely some of the top personnel are escaping to the mainland under cover of darkness.
#Ukraine
's Security Service (SBU) has arrested 15 police officers in the city of
#Dnipro
.
The allegedly corrupt law enforcers were involved in drugs policing.
Still much work to be done, but Ukraine is ridding itself of corruption.
The Mayor of
#Odesa
delivers a sombre update from a hospital where the dead + injured were brought after today's attack by
#Russia
.
A fourth person has died, a husband is critical and a 4 year old boy's also serious. Trukhanov: "Russian Scum. People just came to walk by the sea"
My favourite video of the day.
#Ukraine
2022 in 20 seconds.
Amid the ruins in the outskirts of
#Kyiv
a Cellist plays.
Meanwhile behind him a man appears to continue with his life, despite the lack of a front wall.
#Kyiv
has electricity today! The city looked stunning.
Artist Gerry Hofstetter created a light show across the city. Photos show the Motherland monument, Central Railway Station and St. Mykolaia (Roman Catholic) Cathedral
#StandWithUkraine
A young Australian volunteer has lost his life in
#Bakhmut
.
Sage O'Donnell from Victoria, was 24 years old and a former soldier with the Australian Army.
Heavy loss of life on both sides as
#Russia
's illegal invasion continues.
📷LinkedIn
My friends in Kyiv and I have teamed up to show you what
#Ukraine
is fighting for.
Many believe the Kremlin's propaganda that the country only existed after the break up of the Soviet Union.
In fact Ukraine has a long history, let me guide you through:
This simple video clip brought me to tears.
A child tries to help in the rescue of those trapped in
#Dnipro
, by clearing small pieces of rubble.
No child should have to experience things like this.

#SaveUkraine
Hello again, on Day 620 of the war in Europe.
When Putin invaded & annexed parts of
#Georgia
, many of us warned he must be stopped. He wasn't.
When
#Russia
invaded
#Crimea
we said the same.
We still say the same as
#Ukraine
fights to survive.
Putin will attack NATO/EU next if
Not to be outdone, I've been told that
#Odesa
was in party mood too with patriotic songs! (See earlier in the thread for
#Kyiv
letting its hair down!)
"Oi u luzi chervona kalyna" is the soundtrack of summer 2022 in
#Ukraine

Take it away

BREAKING: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says 'Israel’s military operations have spread mass destruction and killed civilians on a scale unprecedented during my time as secretary-general'
Day 759 of
#Russia
's attempt to remove
#Ukraine
from the map and destroy Ukrainian culture.
Welcome to Saturday's daily thread.
I do this every single day, using a wide variety of sources (including my own) and experience in Ukraine to bring you all the news/analysis in one 🧵
The moment
#Ukraine
's President arrived at the castle in
#Helsinki
. Greeted at the gates by
#Finland
's Head of State, Sauli Niinistö.
Many cheers from wellwishers at the end of the street.
Then the Ukrainian national anthem is played by the band.
News in Telegram of an explosion at the Iskander plant in
#Russia
It's said they immediately suspected a drone attack, but it turned out to be an internal explosion. Some write only one building of the plant was damaged, others say there's devastation.
Awaiting details..
Remarkable scenes in
#Ukraine
's parliament today.
Jussi Halla-aho, Speaker of
#Finland
's parliament, made a long speech to the Rada in pure Ukrainian.
A philologist, he dedicated his speech to the anniversary of the
#Holodomor
and received numerous standing ovations.
The
@UN
brands
#Russia
liars for a missile attack on a prison where over 50
#Ukraine
PoWs were murdered
The Kremlin says a HIMARS missile hit
#Olenivka
but today's report says it's not true & the missile came from the east
Downloaded the full report here
Rusich is the most disgusting Nazi element of
#Russia
's army. Even more extreme views than
#Wagner
.
When they thank you, something is wrong.
How is Muskovy today?
New, clearer video of the moment the Occupiers in
#Crimea
suffered a huge hit.
Residents in
#Sevastopol
reports windows being blown out by the blast wave and people "several km away" felt the shaking from this explosion on the ship repair centre.
#RussiansGOHOME
This evening in USA (8pm EST, 01:00 UK, 03:00 Kyiv), the
@MissUniverse
organisers will let Miss
#TerroRussia
parade around making this Terrorist State look normal.
Make her wear a sash which says "Miss TerroRussia" - let the Universe know the truth.
Another criminal got hit today in
#Bakhmut
Aleksandr Borodai is an MP in
#Russia
.
He declared himself PM of
#Donetsk
"republic" in 2014 after the initial invasion.
He, like Igor Girkin,was born in
#Moscow
.
Yet
#Russia
and their useful idiots still say it was a local "uprising"
Putin "send more tanks"
Shoigu "they've all gone!"
A soon to be heard conversation?
Satellite photos of
#Russia
's military base in
#KamenskShakhtynsky
, around 10 miles from the border with
#Ukraine

In October 2021 over 1,000 pieces of equipment.
In June 2022 not much. And now?
Day 751 of
#Russia
's full invasion of
#Ukraine
begins.. and it's Day 4 of the second insurgency inside
#Russia
since the war began.
All the news throughout the day, right here.
Please support my independent journalism (link in profile) with a coffee if you can💙💛
Extraordinary -
#Russia
is so desperate it may be about to steal from its own people to fund the war.
Don't think this is a fake.
The head of 🇷🇺 Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina, is considering "mandatory conversion of bank deposits of individuals into defence loan bonds."
We've reached day 460 of Europe's war. This is the start of another daily thread.
Once again tonight
#Russia
is attacking the people of
#Ukraine
Do you care enough to comment, like, retweet?
We need to keep the plight of Ukrainians and their fight for freedom in people's minds.
2/
moments later still INSIDE the same university in
#Minsk
this happens.
Masked, plain clothes goons start arresting some of the young people. Five are believed to have been taken away.
#Belarus
now!
Good morning on a landmark day in
#Ukraine
's defence of its homeland, its people and culture. This is the 800th day of
#Russia
's insane and illegal war.
Please continue to support justice, keep the horror and murder in the news, write to politicians.
This is the daily thread.
It's the weekend, Day 752 of
#Russia
's illegal war.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. There won't be any miracles in the "election" result in
#Moscow
tomorrow, but
#Ukraine
will make life uncomfortable for the indicted war criminal!
Here's the daily news thread💙💛
Wednesday 12 March 2024. It's Day 748 of
#Russia
's 10 day war.
Welcome to another daily thread. Every day without fail I post all the important news, fact-checked and in real time, updated throughout the day.
And it's all free and in one handy 🧵 Read on..
Starting the daily thread for Day 745 early as there's action to report!
Views of these threads continues to dip, so please support in any way you can (retweets, likes, spread the word to friends) to keep
#Ukraine
's fight in the news.
Review Friday here:
Day 744 of
#Russia
's 3 day attempt to seize
#Kyiv
Expectation: to be celebrating the 2nd anniversary of the Putinska republic of Ukraine.
Reality: Hundreds of 1000s dead, pariah state, national reserves depleted, reliant on Iran + North Korea to survive!
Welcome to Friday's🧵
... and another of the many videos from
#Georgia
tonight.
The EU anthem has been played on the streets of
#Tbilisi
, applauded by tens of thousands, determined not to sink into the Russian quagmire.
Tuesday 19 March. Day 755 of Europe's war.
To stop it becoming a world war, it's clearer than ever that
#Russia
must be defeated. We need a just peace.
Welcome to another daily thread with all the news from
#Ukraine
, all the time.
Please share, suggest and/or support💙💛
It's Day 727 of a genocidal war. The 727th day of the full invasion.
But 20 February marks exactly 10 years since the original invasion began when
#Russia
's armed "Little Green Men" illegally entered
#Crimea
.
We know the exact date because
#Putin
issed a medal to his soldiers.
Another minor milestone reached in Europe's war.
Day 650.
From
#Russia
arrogantly boasting "
#Kyiv
in 3 days" to "you'll never take
#Crimea
back."
Yet the occupied peninsula is under attack again this morning.
It's another daily thread, with all the news in one place
💙💛
It looks as if
#Ukraine
did get past
#Russia
's air defences to hit more ships in
#Crimea
this morning.
A well known pro-RU channel says 6 Neptune missiles were fired, four intercepted, but two of the anti-ship missiles hit their target.
1/
So straight to a mini thread on events in occupied
#Crimea
where nothing is clear, but possibilities are boundless!
"Sirens and smoke" is the only headline you need to know.
First pics from Sukharnaya Balka, where
#Russia
's naval arsenal is. Occupiers say a rocket was downed
Today we reach another small milestone in the gruesome, illegal and wholly unnecessary war launched by
#Russia
in
#Ukraine
.
It's Day 750 of the 3-day "operation" to capture
#Kyiv
.
Welcome to Thursday's daily thread with all the news you need in one place, updated all day long💪
Hello and welcome to Day 807 of
#Russia
's war on
#Ukraine
.
Each day documenting the news and war crimes committed by indicted war criminal Putin and his Moscow horde as the neo-imperialists try to steal more land and wipe out another culture.
Here's another daily thread...
It's the start of the daily
#Ukraine
thread for Thursday 16 November. it's Day 631 of
#Russia
's war.
Yesterday saw the fewest "views" of a thread for the war for a couple of months. Not much big news around, but also war fatigue likely setting in. Please help me spread the word!
The strike(s) on the Engels air base while not officially confirmed, look real.
It's exactly 3 weeks since the previous hit in
#Saratov
.
Some
#Ukraine
Telegram channels happily showing this satellite pic of the base, where 🇷🇺 wrote "Death to Nazis" - maybe they got their wish!

The immediate reaction from
#Ukraine
media speculation that "Putin's Chef", the Founder of Wagner PMC, had died in the blast.
While this is pure speculation, a number of Russian channels now say "communication has been lost with Yevgeniy Prigozhin"

gets some stick from

followers, but it's important to redress the balance with positive things.

#StandWithUkraine
Thursday is Day 743 of my daily
#Ukraine
threads. Documenting
#Russia
's war of choice every single day.
Page views are well down this week. I know my visibility has been reduced, but let's try keep this unjust war, which threatens us all, in the spotlight.
Welcome to the news..
A new week, but same old daily thread is here, reliable as clockwork for Day 761 of the war inflicted on
#Ukraine
by a genocidal regime in
#Russia
Here you'll find all the news all the time using a variety of sources, including my own. DMs open for tip offs.
Please share/boost💜
For his declaration of war on
#Ukraine
, Putin wore the same clothes at the same desk as he did for his rambling historical nonsense 3 days before
Many suspected it was recorded at the same time.
Now metadata proves it according to this posted in Ukraine. Never a chance for peace
It's Sunday, it's Day 788 of the war in Europe.
#Ukraine
's been on the back foot, defending without ammo and increasingly depleted stocks of weapons.
But with European allies' help, things were steadying and now the US vote on aid could stop
#Russia
.
Let's start the daily 🧵
Exactly a week ago I posted that Andriy Khlyvnyuk, lead singer of
#Ukraine
rock group
#Boombox
was injured in the war.
Now some fans have "virtually" joined him for a version of "Oi u luzi chervona kalina" (Oh red viburnum in the meadow)
Be sure to watch to the VERY END😉
It's a bleak start to another daily thread.
Friday 22 March, Day 758 of
#Rusia
's full invasion, begins with an enormous attack on the power sector of the country it illegally invaded.
Large parts of
#Ukraine
have no power.
#USADelaysUkrainePays
This is the start of the daily🧵
OMG
@elonmusk
you have to be joking?
Doing Putin's bidding again?
Murdered Navalny's wife Yuliya has her Twitter account suspended while the Kremlin hides her husband's body and issues an arrest warrant for Aleksey's brother.
But Medvedev can tweet about nuking us all.
Shameful
Day 496 of
#Russia
's full invasion of
#Ukraine
, but don't forget they first invaded around 9.5 years ago.
The reason
#Ukraine
's allies are spending so much now is the inaction from 2014 and previously over the invasion of
#Georgia
. Next time will be worse, this must stop now!
Normally by 3pm, the first page in my thread would have at least 10,000 views, sometimes 20-30k
Today 3.1k
Assume my tweets are being hidden. A few retweets would be helpful, thanks.

Each day documenting the news and war crimes committed by indicted war criminal Putin and his Moscow horde as the neo-imperialists try to steal more land and wipe out another culture.
Here's another daily thread...
It's Monday morning, it's Day 768 of
#Russia
's war of choice.
That's right,
#Putin
chose to cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of his own people as well as men and women in
#Ukraine
going about their peaceful lives and careers.
This is the start of another daily thread:
TWO YEARS OF CRIMINALITY + KILLING
It's the 2nd anniversary of
#Russia
's all-out war in Ukraine.
The boasts of "2 days to take Kyiv", a 10 day 'special military operation' to destroy Ukraine, its people & its culture, are in ruins. But so are many towns in Ukraine
Here's the🧵
I'm back super early to start daily thread number 671of

It's because despite the

being reopened after an hour, there have been explosions in the occupied
#Crimea
.
All the details coming up on the only thread you need for all the
#Ukraine
news..
One year ago the people of
