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

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.

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

Yesterday proved quite a busy news day and expanded to bring news of mass protests in both Serbia and Georgia.

Zelenskyy in Japan, Lavrov's family fleeing, the UN negotiating with war criminals, and bad news from Bakhmut. It's all here⬇️

This morning @ZelenskyyUa seemed to confirm that #Russia is in full control of #Bakhmut, saying "it's a pity, it's a tragedy, but for today Bakhmut is only in our hearts."

But later the #Ukraine President's Office later "clarified" they were still holding a position in the town.

Welcome to Saturday's #UkraineWar thread on Day 444 of #Russia's invasion.

All the news as always throughout the day in one handy thread, but with a fun #Eurovision twist today which I'll explain in the next tweet.

If you want to buy me a coffee there's a link in my bio🙏💙💛
So what's all this about #Eurovision ?

Well to mark #Ukraine's "hosting" of the final in #Liverpool tonight, in my tweets today there will be winning song titles🎶 in some of the posts (not all)

Just for fun. Reply if you spot one, as it will help fight the shadow ban on my a/c
Give yourself bonus points if you know the country and year the song won!

Anyway if you missed anything yesterday, you can review Friday's thread here. A day when we had all kinds of everything going on:

Hello again. It's Friday 12 May + Day 443 of the #UkraineRussiaWar

I'm back again. Another daily thread for all the news that matters in one place.

Two big developments y'day - #Ukraine's counter offensive prep + long range weapons arrive! Catch up here:
First a strange tale from the far east of #Russia where a private helicopter cut through power lines during a "hard landing"

The Mi-2's landing cut off power to the Transneft station in Primorsky Krai.
It's so remote it took 2 days to find the chopper & the pilot's disappeared! ImageImageImageImage
A big increase in #Russia's manpower losses in the last 24 hours. Still a lot of equipment being hit by #Ukraine too.

Wednesday 10 May
Day 441 of this terrible war.
At least #Ukraine has woken relatively peacefully today in contrast to most recent days.

All the news on #Russia's invasion, all day in one thread. If you want to buy me a coffee please see my bio for the link💙💛
So y'day was another violent & busy day as #Russia celebrated Victory Day but with zero victory to salute in its illegal invasion of #Ukraine

More deaths by fire, setbacks in #Bakhmut and #Wagner being labelled terrorists by more countries. Catch up here:
#Russia's losses in the last 24 hours show a marked decrease in he amount of equipment destroyed compared to the recent trend.

However, #Ukraine is killing more and more soldiers as Russians continue kamikaze tactics in #Donetsk with the one resource they have plenty of: people. Image

Welcome along to the daily thread for Day 440 of the war in #Ukraine

More deadly missile attacks launched in the early hours this morning by #Russia on what is supposed to be one of the sacred days in the calendar, 9 May.
#Russia has no victory to celebrate.

All the news here⬇️
It was another busy day yesterday, a lot of news from the battlefields of #Ukraine and beyond too.

For a catch up on anything you missed on Monday, click and scroll down from this link:

#StandWithUkraine
So during the night #Russia launched no fewer than 25 Cruise missiles - but #Ukraine's air defences managed to shoot down 23 of them.

In the first wave 8 Kalibrs were fired from Black Sea ships. Then at 4am 17 Kh-101/555s were fired by ships over the Caspian Sea. Image

It's Friday already and here is Daily Thread No. 422 covering events in #Ukraine and #Russia's illegal war.

Yesterday was fairly quiet, but if you need to catch up on events, click and scroll here⬇️

1/2
First, one big update on this story in #Russia which broke last night.

The Kremlin has actually admitted they bombed themselves in #Belgorod! #FriendlyFire on steroids!

2/2
They also admit 2 people were injured when #Russia bombed its own city, #Belgorod.

Look at the first photo - a car blown onto the roof of a supermarket!

The Kremlin says "abnormal derailment of aviation ammunition occurred" from a Su-34 VKS aircraft.

The bomb fell off😅🤡 ImageImageImageImage

It's Day 421 of #Russia's full invasion and this is the war news thread for Thursday 20 April.

Yesterday saw a late night scare for residents in #Kyiv, while Russia attacked #Kherson, #Zapoprizhzhia, #Odesa and #Donetsk regions.
Review it all here⬇️

#Russia's daily losses continue to creep up.

670 more soldiers losing their lives needlessly and at some point today the 185,000th troop will be killed in #Ukraine fighting a non-existent cause for a regime in Moscow as sick as Hitler's Nazis.

Fuel tanks destroyed high again. Image
Overnight #Russia launched another drone attack, this time in the #Dnipropetrovsk region.

All six attack UAVs were shot down.

So far at least relatively few reports of attacks on population centres today.

Hello and welcome to Wednesday's daily thread with all the news from and about #Ukraine, still fighting to maintain its freedom.

#Russia's war has reached Day 406.
This thread is updated throughout the day (and night when it's busy) using my own sources and aggregating news.
Yesterday started with attacks on #Odesa/#Odessa but was generally quiet in military terms.

But lots of other stories as Germany admits shame at not helping Ukraine earlier, Moscow's Church continues to be driven out + more 🇷🇺corruption. Review it here:

#Russia's losses in the last 24 hours are interesting. While troop deaths remain in the 500-650 range we've seen for the past 2 weeks, look at the number of artlliery systems/MLRS destroyed.

These are significant figures. New western donations having an effect?

Day 403

Welcome along to Sunday's thread with all the news and analysis from #Russia's illegal war on #Ukraine.

Yesterday saw dogs, drones, drunks and dodgy priests. Read anything you missed by clicking and scrolling here:

Firstly someone "proved" Elon Musk decided to "hide" news of #Ukraine on Twitter. Now why would he do that?

Now Ukraine news is as 'dangerous' as disinfo and needs silencing🤬
The only action we can take is to retweet and repeat as much as possible.🇺🇦

#Russia's daily losses (estimated by #Ukraine) get lower and lower.

A total of just 21 pieces of any equipment whatsoever destroyed in the last 24 hours.
560 more soldiers won't be returning to their families.
Dead of alive - your choice - #RussiansGoHome

Hello and welcome to the #Ukraine daily thread for the 330th time.
Yes, Thursday is Day 330 of #Russia's illegal war and still the bickering goes on between Freedom allies about whether to give Ukraine tanks to defend itself.

All the news throughout the day in one handy thread..
Busy yesterday? need a recap?
Scroll through Wednesday's news from #Ukraine here, where there was only one big story, as yet another tragedy hit the country.

#Ukraine starts three days of mourning following the horrific helicopter crash just outside the capital #Kyiv yesterday morning.

The period of mourning comes just as grieving for the victims of #Dnipro ends.
One long punishment for the people of #Ukraine

Day 324 of the war in #Ukraine, it's Friday the 13th so be careful if you're superstitious!

Right now Ukraine could do with some bad luck befalling #Russia; life is incredibly tough & brutal on the frontline.

This is my daily thread with all the news.
I've done this 324 times!
This thread is updated "live" throughout the day. Welcome especially to newcomers. DMs open for tip offs if you see a story I may have missed.

#Soledar - what is going on? The most frequent question right now.

I've been studying all reports I can find and spoken to people I know.

#Ukraine claimed a fightback re-taking the railway station and a mine. Much as I want to believe it, I cannot find any evidence of that. Image

Wednesday 11 January is Day 322 of the war in #Ukraine

#Russia continues its unprovoked and illegal invasion and continues to kill and commit further war crimes.

All the news in one place. And here you can catch up on yesterday's stories:

1/2
The last entry on yesterday's thread last night was about the explosions in #Kharkiv. And there were plenty of fireworks - literally!

Thankfully no-one was injured as #Russia's shells hit a fireworks factory in the northern Kyivskyi district of #Ukraine's second city.
2/2

There were many videos of the unplanned spectacular show in #Kharkiv.

Two rockets are thought to have hit the fireworks factory.

It's probably no coincidence #Russia targeted the city on the day #Germany's Foreign Minister visited and pledged more help to defeat Putin.

Welcome to Wednesday's coverage of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.

All the news that matters throughout the day in one handy thread.

This is Day 154 of #PutinsWar
The big news came at midnight #Ukraine time, when rockets started landing in #Kherson region and again on the Antonivskyi Bridge.

Several people uploaded videos to social networks:

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
The first news from #Kherson is not overly good for #Ukraine. Although the Antonivskyi bridge was hit, the structure still stands and is still passable.

#Russia's state new agency TASS says there is "no damage" which is highly unlikely.

This is the moment of impact

#FriendlyFire @SommMarkus @laura_zme @nebelspalter grossartige inszenierung von #Impfframing @BAG_OFSP_UFSP @operationlibero

ob @MNebelspalter diese show schon dekonstruiert hat? das wäre eine hübsche fingerübeng ;-)))
#fingerübung

wie kannstu im namen der #grundrechte die #denkblockaden so installieren, dass es zu einer selbstgewählten moralischen pflicht wird, sich impfen zu lassen?

prof. dr. #MarkusZimmermann @unifr zu dekonstruieren ist vermutlich relativ einfach.
wenn aber eine junge pr-frau - welche in einer werbeagentur für das @BAG_OFSP_UFSP arbeitet - von @SommMarkus unterstützt wird ists komplizierter🤪

komm @MNebelspalter @DieOstschweiz zeig mal, wie das gehen könnte ;-)))

#FriendlyFire When @johnroderick asked who the audience was for Captain America it really made me think about why it was me. I grew up in the late '70s and early '80s reading comics when the characters were at the height of their world building. 1/
@johnroderick As an avid reader with no internet and limited TV and movie choices comics were great imagination fuel that fed my need for heroes and endeared them to me. 2/
@johnroderick But, outside of mall appearances or the low budget TV movies, the thought of seeing these characters filmed in a way that was as exciting as the books with a good story based on the world of that hero seemed impossible at the time. 3/

To celebrate #DonaldDuck's 85th birthday, I am gonna watch every DD theatrical cartoon in chronological order (minus the ones I just covered in my #Mickey90 megathread)

Mute the thread NOW if you would like to avoid seeing all of this!
Day 1: "The Wise Little Hen" (June 9, 1934)

Donald's 1st appearance, as a scene-stealing supporting actor in this Silly Symphony cartoon. He is paired w/Peter Pig, who will never have a role this good again. DD becomes an instant star, while Peter is demoted to background player
I think they know they have something here; they save Donald's intro for last, and give him a great entrance.

Also, WLH's singing voice is perfect, and Peter Pig's speaking voice is a true nightmare. You can feel his cartoon career ending the moment he opens his mouth.
