Welcome to Monday's daily Ukraine thread for Day 1517 of the full Russian invasion.
I want to start by asking why, in over 4 years, has @IntlCrimCourt only ever brought war crime charges against 6 Russians, none since this 22 months ago?
Putin's only accused of child-abduction😡
Some call me a gangster of love.
❤️🩹 A cat sits calmly in a shattered window in Odesa after a Russian strike.
Day 1514 of Ukraine's heroic defence of its freedom and independence.
I've fact checked, documented and analysed the news every single one of those days, despite travel, sickness, birthdays and other things life throws at us.
Let's start Friday's thread:
I need more Fellas on 🦋
Ping me if I'm not following you back and repost 🔁 so more Fellas will see this post.

The first satellite photos show the scale of the fire at the the Russian oil depot in Tuapse.
Vance says that stopping funding for Ukraine is one of his proudest achievements in this administration.
I’m watching this stunningly cruel speech from Ukraine, as Russia continues to kills us every day. Just today, they killed 8-year-old boy in Cherkasy and five people in Dnipro.
Hello again, prepare for another daily thread on all things Ukraine, and affecting the country.
Day 1512 of defending the country against Russia's full invasion (4,437 since the start of the Crimea invasion)

Day 1511 of Russia's war to destroy Ukraine, which their own experts said would result in Kyiv being taken in 2 or 3 days.
But just as Russia gets into deeper and deeper trouble, it's saved by "Jesus" Trump.
What a screwed up world we live in.
This is Tuesday's daily Ukraine🧵
👀👀🙈🙉🙊

This is the Ukraine thread, with all the fact checked news every day.
Today is Day 1509, also (hopefully) known as "Orbexit Day" as the Barrel of Russian effluent in Budapest [Orbán] may finally be kicked out of office by voters🤞
Anyway let's get this thing started..
The EU's Foreign policy chief, @kajakallas.bsky.social has criticised Middle-East countries for not helping to solve the Russia-Ukraine war.
She may have been speaking carefully but the inference in clear - you still trade with Russia, don't respect sanctions and tacitly support the war
My theory: That's why JD went (or was sent) there – to take the blame in the WH... Much like Dementia Don is setting up Hogsbreath to be blamed for the mess in Iran.
Template "I made this" Bibi: We made this. Hands over a thing labeled "Iran War" Don: We made this? Label "Iran War" falls off, revealing the label "Genocide" Don: Hegseth made this.
They all made it, actually.

You've found the start of another daily thread and Friday is Day 1507 of Ukraine's heroic struggle to keep alive its independent statehood.
Since Bohdan Khmelnytskyi's uprising in 1648, Ukraine has never had 35 years of freedom. It's about to accomplish that, but at what cost?
Day 1504 of Russia's war on Ukraine starts with more war crimes and more murder.
Word choice is important. Many are not just "killings" - incidental victims of war. They are people in their own homes, people in cars, or today a bus - targeted and murdered.
Here is Tuesday's🧵
2/
Odesa has declared day of mourning for those killed in Russian night attack.
Here is a photos of the mother and daughter murdered.
The other victim at the apartment block on Levitana St was a 53-year-old woman.
Two others are critically ill with another 13 also injured.
Fcking murderous terrorist bastards.
Easter Day in the Gregorian calendar (the west to you & me!) but the usual lack of anything approaching holy actions from Russia.
The terrorists continue to terrorise, although it's been a quiet night - and importantly, in the day so far too.
Day 1502, here's the daily thread:
The first clip from Kstovo looks like AD got a little off track.
Portrait photograph of a young girl. She is wearing a short-sleeved dress with a collar with horizontal patterns. Around her neck is a pendant. Her long hair is styled in a ponytail. She is smiling slightly.
5 April 1933 | A Belgian Jewish girl, Genevieve Annette Flora Levy, was born in Saint Gilles.
She was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

Captain Szilveszter Pálinkás, Hungarian Army officer:
What causes me difficulty is understanding which side this government is choosing. It portrays Ukraine as an enemy, while in reality, in this military conflict, Ukraine is a victim, because Russia attacked Ukraine. This is common knowledge.
Orban was shouted down at one of his own rallies, with the crowd chanting "Ruszkik Haza!" (Russians go home!), a phrase made famous during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
7 days left, asshole. It looks like you're about to learn what the second half of FAFO stands for.
Absolutes are always bad.
