Judging by the deafening roar from the Kremlin's online propaganda machine β from useful idiots in the West and professional anti-'escalation' crusaders to hordes of trolls and bots on this hellsite β Ukraine's strikes at the very foundation of Russia's war machine are really painful and the Kremlin is getting really nervous.
You've found the start of THE daily Ukraine thread for Day 1584 of Russia's war on its peaceful neighbour.
There seems to be a growing feeling we are at the very start of the end of the war. We have begun "Zelenskyy's 40 days", and more results are visible this morning:
@mattyglesias@s8mb Sorry to break it to you, but your β¬15 per night hostel isnβt gonna have AC.
Come back to Europe when you can afford to stay in a hotel or villa.
@TankieSlappa@smoggy1536445 I met Peter Crouch through work once, and thought being his height was a struggleβ¦ so 7β2 is pretty insane! Tree is definitely appropriate.
Thursday 25 June is Day 1583 of Russia's attempt to remove Ukraine from the map, and eradicate its culture and history.
Each day I round up all the significant news, with analysis and local knowledge to put together a new thread - all the news you need in one place.
Let's go:
Clearly Lukashenka didn't disable the Russian drone relay stations in Belarus out of the kindness of his heart, he did it because Ukraine's military strength in 2026 is sufficient to compel him to do so.
A significant shift in the regional balance of power.
Hello, it's Day 1582 of Ukraine's heroic defence against the (not so) mighty Russian army.
You've found the start of another daily thread covering all things to do with the war (except the gory bits)
This shows just how out of touch Putin is with the situation on the ground. The Istanbul negotiations happened when Russia was on the outskirts of Kyiv. Russia is no longer in a strong negotiating position.
As I start the daily thread thread for Day 1581 there are more Russian missiles flying in Ukraine.
Every single day of this 52 month war, I've been here documenting all the important news, in one handy place.
Let's go again.
