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.

Die Unken-Rufe bei den #Vatnik Accounts auf Telegram und Twitter mit „Die Ukrainische 🇺🇦 Offensive bei #Zaporizhia / Süd-#Donetzk sei gescheitert“ ist herrlich. Es sind übrigens die gleichen Accounts, die das bei #Kharkiv & #Kherson auch geschrieben haben. Ein paar Fakten:

🧵/1
Unabhängig davon, dass die Front-Karten sowohl der 🇺🇦 als auch 🇷🇺 Seite einen stetigen Fortschritt beim Geländegewinn der AFU🇺🇦 zeigen, gibt es noch ein paar andere Faktoren die man bei diesen Accounts nicht zu lesen bekommt:

1. AFU🇺🇦 hat bis zu 35. Brigaden (ganz genau weiß man es nicht) für die Offensive bereit. 11 davon sind mit westlichem Material ausgestattet. — bisher sind ca. 3-4 davon bei den Offensiven Operationen an der Front aktiv. — damit dürfte das Verhältnis einigermaßen klar werden.

⚡️🧵
Ich beobachte es immer wieder, auch in meinen Kommentaren, daß man auf „DEN Angriff“ der AFU🇺🇦 wartet, „DER Angriff“ wo 200 MBTs + Infanterie die 🇷🇺 Linien durchbrechen, & man wacht morgens auf, und die AFU🇺🇦steht 40km weiter. — Das wird es meiner Meinung nach so nicht

geben. Diese Vorstellung ist dem Vorgehen der AFU🇺🇦 in #Kharkiv & #Kherson geschuldet, das sollte man im Kopf abhaken. Das Vorgehen gegen 🇷🇺Befestigungen ist in #Zaporizhia eine ganz andere AFU🇺🇦 Taktik. Das grösste Problem der RF🇷🇺 ist, daß sie die über ein Jahr befestigen

Verteidigungslinien besetzen müssen, also greift die AFU🇺🇦 entlang der gesamten #Zaporizhia und auch Süd-#Donetsk Front aktuell mit Battalions, maximal mal in Brigade Stärke an. Das Problem was dabei bei den RF🇷🇺 entsteht ist, dass sie immer nur am reagieren sind, um quasi

The Ukrainian #counteroffensive has begun.

Activity throughout #Ukraine is consistent with a variety of indicators that Ukrainian counteroffensive operations are underway across the theater.

🧵on what we’re seeing & how to evaluate this activity ⬇️ isw.pub/InteractiveUkr…
2/ Ukrainian officials have long signaled that there will not be an announcement that the #counteroffensive has begun.
3/ The #counteroffensive won’t likely unfold as a single grand operation. It will likely consist of many undertakings at numerous locations of varying size and intensity over many weeks.

1. Today Russian insurgents attacked from NE of #Kharkiv and engaged and destroyed Russian amor that was lured into an engagement with infantry supported by tanks of the #RussianVolunteerCorps. Image
2. The reports conflict but it appears the two tanks in support of mounted infantry entered Russia west of where the insurgent forces attacked on Thursday when the insurgents attacked Russian FSB forces at a border control point south of #Shebikino.
3. Thursday Russia moved in and insurgents withdrew back into Ukraine but successfully fixed the Russian mechanized forces for today's attack. With the Russian mechanized forces near of #Shebekino, rather than attack the border control point again, the insurgents Image

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

Geolocated footage published May 31 indicates that #Russian forces made marginal gains SE of Masyutivka (13km NE of #Kupyansk) in #Kharkiv Oblast.

The UKR General Staff’s mention of attacks west of Masyutivka likely indicates that Russian forces captured it on an earlier date. ImageImage

3/ A Russian milblogger claimed that fighting is ongoing near Masyutivka, Synkivka (9km NE of Kupyansk), and Dvorichna (17km NE of Kupyansk), and that Russian forces are continuing to expand control over areas in the vicinity of Masyutivka.
