Day 1187 of Russia's attempt to remove Ukraine from the map. Putin is an embarrassing 1,184 days behind schedule in taking Kyiv.

For every single one of those days I've compiled these fact-checked threads, documenting the news as it happens: the last two days have been very tough.
Let's go again:

For 2nd night in a row Russia brutally attacks Kyiv & other cities in Ukraine - 298 drones & 69 missiles (9 ballistic). 12 dead, 60 injured, so far.

Appeasement works - for Russia.

The evidence is clear. Russia has no desire or interest in peace. Act & respond accordingly.
❗️As of now, 12 people have died and 60 have been injured as a result of the Russian night attack.

The photo shows the consequences of the strikes in the Kyiv, Khmelnytskyi, Zhytomyr and Mykolaiv regions. In total, more than 30 cities and villages were affected

Good morning, although it isn't.
I'm still emotional & angry, as you may have witnessed if you were with me last night

Most of the west shrugs on the sidelines as Russia fires FOURTEEN ballistic missiles on a European capital. The US allows, encourages it.
It's Day 1186, Here is THE 🧵for Saturday.

Early morning farewell to Kyiv after a difficult night of Russian drone and ballistic missile attacks. Fires are burning, buildings damaged, reports of injuries, although thankfully no deaths. Part of the night spent in the bathtub of my hotel room - two wall rule…

It's Day 1179 of Russia's sick war.
Saturday begins with another heinous war crime committed on civilians in Ukraine, just hours after Moscow's fake peace talks.

The anger gets worse and worse. The inability to properly unite and show strength against this terror.

Here's the daily🧵

No, russia's attack on Sumy wasn't 'a mistake.' No one accidentally uses a cluster munition warhead against a crowded city center on a major holiday. Neither was the bombing of the Kryvyi Rih playground a mistake, nor were the filmed murders of POWs.
russia systematically uses terrorism as a weapon.

Hello again. Day 1134 of the war in Europe.

Each day I document the ups and downs of Ukraine's fight to exist, as well as Russia's war crimes as Putin continues his neo-colonialism.

Tell your elected representative we must support Ukraine and not reward terrorism.

Already over a month since Day 1000 of Russia's crazy and illegal decision to invade Ukraine and ignore all international law and UN votes.

Each and every day this is THE place for accurate, fact-checked Ukraine + Russia news in one easy to handle thread.
Still, not a single day off!

Russia keeps showing its true colors with no interest in peace, only death, destruction & the total subjugation of those it deems lesser than itself. This is why Russia must be stopped, made to retreat, repent & repay. A just peace is the only sustainable peace. #1000DaysOfWar

This Sunday morning, Russia launched 120 missiles and 90 drones at Ukraine. People were killed, injured, housing destroyed all over the country. Railways in southern Ukraine hit. Energy infrastructure has been severely damaged and it caused blackouts.

I guess the attempts to talk to Putin went well
