A belated hello on Day 1518 of Russia's illegal full invasion.
Apologies for the very late start, I will catch up, it's just been a difficult day technically and with other commitments.
I have been keeping an eye on Ukraine of course.
Thankfully, it's been a quieter day.
VERY BIG TOP NEWS TODAY 🔝

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.
Worth adding that Russia did as a matter of fact intervene for Trump in 2016 and that the evidence is widely known, abundant, and collected in various forms (🧵 1/3)

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😡
Lukashenko says he is ready to use “all types of weapons,” including nuclear ones, in response to what he claims could be aggression from neighboring states.
He issued a warning to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine about “consequences” for any hostile actions.
Estonia is blocking Slovakia's PM from flying in its airspace en route to Moscow.
Robert Fico, a mini-Orbán and probably smaller kick-backs too, wants to ingratiate himself again by attending Russia's Victory Day celebrations on 9 May.
Reminder: Russia supported Hitler 1939-41

This is my daily thread on developments in Ukraine and its defence against the Russian invasion.
Day 1516 of Putin's attempt to eradicate Ukrainian culture & anyone not willing to bow to its demands.
I've written about Ukraine for 25 years, but only sonsecutively for 1,516 days!
❗️Lithuania and Latvia have denied airspace access to Slovak PM Robert Fico for his planned trip to Moscow for May 9 celebrations, forcing him to arrange an alternative route. #Europe
That’s the point — if we are aware of the scenarios and we are ready to mock and block, these stunts can be deterred or turned against Trump. One of them just failed hard in Hungary — because people were ready!
Day 1515 - I am back again for another Ukraine thread..
I fact check and publish all the important news about the country and Russia's horde of war criminals, using my own contacts and experience and local media.
I've done it every single day. Yep, I've still never missed one.
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:
This used to shock you. You have been desensitized into indifference.
Russia murdered at least 17 people and injured 98 more in a mass aerial attack in Europe last night.
Destroying the russian terrorist state is imperative.
The huge aerial bomb which hit Zaporizhzhia, did this to a religious building.
People were at the "prayer room" at the time of the attack.
One person died and two more have been injured.

Visible from space?
The first satellite photos show the scale of the fire at the the Russian oil depot in Tuapse.
Ukraine thread Day 1513
BSky continues to be really, really annoying this morning.
Slightly better now, but I don't have time to upload everything I've posted already as I have to go do some tennis commentary.
So I've used a thread app to show my Xitter posts:

And more from Tuapse 🔥🔥🔥
