The Belarusian Cyber Partisans revolutionised #cyberwarfare, fighting against the Russian & Belarusian states.

I spoke with @yuliana_shem of @cpartisans about their actions in the #RussiaUkraineWar.

"Without a free #Ukraine there is no free #Belarus!"

Hello and welcome to "Million Day"

It's only taken until Day 1205 for Putin to rack up 1,000,000 losses, almost all men, dead or disabled.

Don't forget those not yet discovered, ones that we can't see (PTSD etc) and those killed by criminals.

Time to start another daily 🧵

Genocide - a short thread within a🧵
I am simply staggered governments and world organisations are too weak to acknowledge the mountain of evidence.

The recent huge missile attacks should be enough, but useful idiots are fooled by Russia's plausible deniability.

This week, #Hungary made the decision to stick with Russian oil rather than diversify. Hungarian enterprise MOL said it would unblock #Lukoil crude while still complying with Ukraine's sanctions on the Russian company.

Here's why that is bad news!

From a soldier contact of mine fighting in the Pokrovsk area- feel this pretty much sums up how the effects of Kursk are felt there. This is the morale boost that matters, not everyone else sharing memes from their comfortable homes.

[Francis Farrell @francisjfarrell]

Wrote about the Kursk Oblast offensive as of last night for @KyivIndependent. A few thoughts from myself, two days in: watching this operation, it's important to separate the emotional effects from the kinetic. 1/

This is a direct hit at a children’s health center in downtown Kyiv.

An overt Russian war crime put on record.

You have eyes, you can see it.

[Asami Terajima @AsamiTerajima]

As Russia scales up its offensive in Donbas, fear grows at Dnipro's Mechnikov Hospital that it could run out of surgeons – especially neurosurgeons – to keep up with the intense pace.

Since full-scale war, about 29,000 wounded soldiers were brought in.

@StephSemillant @BFMTV @BFMParis Hi Stéphane, I am a report for Kyiv Independent. I read this story and have a question about this art collective "Mriya". Can you send me a DM?

My report from the #Kakhovka reservoir in #Zaporizhzhia Oblast for @KyivIndependent

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]

After Russia destroyed the Khakhovka dam last year, plant and wildlife have returned to its reservoir. The landscape hasn’t been so lush since before the Soviets flooded the plain to construct the dam in 1956. https://t.co/XF650LqG4g

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]

When Russian forces blew up the Kakhovka Dam, they changed the landscape of southern Ukraine permanently. Around 600 kilometers of land was flooded, devastating the rich farmland in the region and threatening long-term economic development. https://t.co/ljgJEui5uC

[Dominic Culverwell @DomCulv]

I visited the #Kakhovka reservoir for the anniversary of the dam's destruction.

Remarkably, a forest the size of London is growing at a rapid rate. The timing of the breach coincided with the pollination of poplar and willow trees.

Some are already 5 meters tall.

⚡️The Howard G. Buffett Foundation will finance the restoration of Kharkiv-based Faktor Druk printing house, destroyed in a Russian missile attack, Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said. https://t.co/tzwdgqZ8bU

[Francis Farrell @francisjfarrell]

We were in Vovchansk yesterday. In under two hours in the town, 20 glide bombs were dropped around us. Most of them that we saw just flattened random civilian houses, killing and injuring people and animals.

Destruction for destruction’s sake, truly what Russia is best at.

[Oleksandr Kubrakov @OlKubrakov]

Almost 1600 vessels exported 45 million tons of cargo from the ports of Big Odessa for 9 month of #UkrainianCorridor. It’s mainly Ukrainian agro products for world food markets. Despite Ukraine is still a top exporter of agricultural products and guarantee of world food security. > 30 mln tons of Ukrainian farmer’s products had been delivered to 38 countries.

There will be 108 ships approaching the port in order to export more than 3 mln tons.

[Dominic Culverwell @DomCulv]

The big issue here is about the price of cement. Under a monopoly, cement prices could skyrocket and subsequently the cost of reconstruction. Read my latest report for @KyivIndependent
#Ukraine

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]

As Russia’s war drags on, issues are already lurking around one crucial component for reconstruction: cement.

Amid a looming production crisis, some warn that a deal between two multinational cement giants could create a monopoly in Ukraine.

Watch how we got trapped and escaped from a 14 hour battle with Russian forces. Miraculously, nobody got killed!

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]

As Ukraine recaptured the town of Bucha on March 31, 2022, the world saw the violence Russian soldiers inflicted on civilians.

According to interviews with officials and residents, Russian troops killed Buchans both randomly and systematically.

A slow trickle of tourists have started coming to #Ukraine, many of whom embark on war tours. While they are helping support the economy and the struggling tourism sector, is it ethical? My latest story for @KyivIndependent

⚡️ National Resistance Center: Partisans blow up Putin's party office in occupied Nova Kahkovka.

[Dominic Culverwell @DomCulv]

We went to the Polish farmers protest to speak with unhappy protestors and Ukrainian drivers, many of whom have been stuck for days. Tensions are high and show no sign of slowing down unless action is taken.
