The world has become accustomed to Russian cruel attacks. Ukraine continues to fight fairly without attacking civilians in Russia. They all need not be afraid. I believe that there has never been such a war in human history. So why do we tolerate Russian terror?

Missiles have still been flying today. Another killing has been announced in Odesa where Kh-59 rockets joined jet drones to continue the daily attack on the region. 8 others have been wounded in this incident where a local business and its car park were hit. #StopRussia

Turkish sailors filmed a low-flying Ukrainian (Ukro)Shahed-type drone over the Black Sea. The same type was previously used in strikes on Engels and may later have hit the Ro-Ro ship Nadezhda or continued deeper into Russia. The exact target remains unconfirmed. #Ukraine

❗️Vladimir Tkachuk, head of the Uraldronzavod plant that produces Upyr drones in Russia, was blown up. He survived and is in the hospital in critical condition. Upyr is a Russian FPV drone used against Ukraine since 2023. Some of their parts are 3D printed.

Eight people were killed at a train station in the village of Kvitneve, Kyiv Oblast, after a delay forced them to miss their last connection home, according to the head of the Brovary District State Administration. Video: Olena Zashko / The Kyiv Independent.

100% and I said it at the time. I also said one small battalion sent to Crimea in 2014, to protect UN recognised sovereign Ukraine territory, would have stopped all this. No war, no death. Putin exploits weakness and indecision. We've repeatedly been cowards, Putin assumes we always will be.

What we know at this moment: Russia killed 17 and injured 62 overnight. Most of the tragedy came in the wider Kyiv region, where 16 of the 17 lost their lives. #RussiaIsATerroristState

Der Flugbetrieb in Leipzig/Halle musste eingestellt werden, da man eine modifizierte Drohne in unmittelbarer Nähe einer ukrainischen Antonov fand. Es wurde eine unbekannte Substanz sowie ein Zündmechanismus gefunden. Die genauen Umstände und Motive werden derzeit von den Behörden untersucht.

⚡️ 'Modified drone' found next to Ukrainian transport plane at German airport. Flights at Germany's Leipzig/Halle Airport were suspended overnight on Aug. 5 after a "modified drone" was sighted and later found next to a Ukrainian Antonov Airlines An-124 transport aircraft.

Es gibt auch die Möglichkeit vom Westen her ballistische Raketen abzuschießen. Selenskyj hat das schon vor zwei Jahren vorgeschlagen. Dafür braucht es keine Patriots, die wir sowieso nicht ausreichend haben.

Ukraine needs help against Russian missiles now. What more can allies do?

Recent air defence pledges won’t deliver interceptors for years. Europe could help now by providing fighter cover, or by delivering more offensive weapons. Will it act?

Fehlende Abwehr gegen russische ballistische Raketen bleibt die Schwäche der Ukraine. Putin nutzt das brutal aus und produziert immer mehr zivile Todesopfer. Das wird den Krieg nicht für Russland wenden. Europa kann dem ständigen Mord an Zivilisten nicht weiter einfach zusehen

A European capital city, in a country that's an ally of NATO, spent this morning retrieving bodies, saving the wounded, grieving, & despairing at the US in particular for giving Russia the green light to murder when it wishes. Day 1624. Is the fight for good vs evil abandoned?

A massive fire has engulfed a Wildberries logistics center (194,500 sq m) in Aleksin, Russia's Tula region, following a drone attack.

Massive ballistic missile attack on Kyiv again tonight. Very loud in Obolon and one huge fireball in Kyiv after this wave of Russia warheads.

Did you ever think you'd see this? Suspected N Korean cluster munitions exploding over a European capital city They're not illegal but cannot be used near the public - but Russia doesn't care about laws, humanity, doesn't sign up to anything and can veto everything in the U.N.

Nothing to see here. Just Russia damaging another kids hospital. Photos are from the Zaporizhzhia regional children's hospital. Governor Ivan Fedorov says there are no injuries, as "Fortunately, at the time of the air raid, all the children, along with the medics, were in shelter."

Ukrainian rescuers who arrived in France to fight the forest fires are greeted very warmly by the locals! Thank you, France! Ukraine and Europe are stronger together.

Two little girls and an elderly woman were murdered in Sumy region in the early hours this morning. Russia decided to drop SIX aerial bombs, which took the lives of the 5 and 10 year old sisters as well as the 76 year old woman. A day of mourning has been declared for tomorrow.

Indeed, this is one of Russia’s most sick acts.

Stiff competition but this has to be one of the most sick videos of the day. In the centre of free Kherson, a clear example of Russia's human safari. A 52 year old civilian, at a market. Incredibly he survived, but suffered shrapnel wounds and concussion. #RussiaIsATerroristState

3/3 The Krasny Bor facility is one of the larger ones in Wildberries portfolio, & the biggest in Leningrad/St Petersburg area. Ukraine's "Dr One" has visited 15 Wildberries warehouses recently, to deliver a prescription of #UkraineSanctions. 13 of the 15 are virtually destroyed.

Russia's senseless attacks on food continue, even stretching to ice cream. The much loved family business "Lasunka" in Dnipro, was targeted, with the company saying "Our ice cream may not be on the shelves in the near future." #RussiaIsATerroristState

@toonietuesday.bsky.social As a result of a Russian airstrike on Kramatorsk, 24 people were injured. ​Fire broke out in a 14-story apartment building. Emergency workers rescued 9 people from trapped apartments.

The fruit seller from Mykolaiv, who survived the sick "human safari" attack in Kherson. 52 year old Yuri and his doctor spoke to @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social, he told how he was sorting garlic at the farmer's market when the drone started to chase him.

This is horrible. Disgusting. A war crime. How can they do that every single day since the invasion? Russia must stop it. The world must stop Russia.

Ukraine and the world have seen horrifying footage from Kherson today - a Russian drone hunting down a civilian. This person is Mr. Yurii, he sells vegetables. At about 6.30 a.m., Mr. Yurii was putting out the produce by the market, as he does every day⤵️

Russian drones have damaged a cathedral in Kherson. This is how the Holy Spirit cathedral looks this lunchtime after "Russian peacekeepers" attacked again. Residential properties nearby were also damaged. There were no injuries. #RussiaIsATerroristState

Wo es ist denn mal ein Skandal gegen die AfD, wenn man ihn mal braucht? Oh wait ...

The latest poll for Saxony-Anhalt has the far-right at 41%. If some of the smaller parties (SPD, Greens, BSW) don't clear the threshold to enter parliament, the far-right may gain an absolute majority in September.

Stop expecting Washington's tariffs to end the war in Ukraine. Western leaders must face reality: only sustained European defense production and direct military aid to Kyiv will force Putin to stop. (Read on — 🧵 1/15)
