In 1718 Four European nations (Britain, France, Austria & Dutch) combined to deter and fight an aggressive adversary (Spain) to protect another country (Italy) It's Day 1718 of Russia's full invasion of Ukraine, which has already lasted 4 x longer than the war mentioned above.

Day 1717 of Russia's war of choice. A colonialist choice, echoing Putin long held desire, openly expressed, of reuniting the USSR. Collectively, the west failed to heed the warnings, even the invasions of Georgia then Ukraine in 2014. It may be out last chance. Here's the🧵

Day 1714 of this nightmare caused by Russia and aided by some good people not having the guts to really confront evil, and some others actively aiding war criminals. Tuesday begins with Ukraine mourning again. Here's the daily thread.

Hello on Day 1713 of Ukraine's defence against its huge neighbour, following the second invasion almost 5 years ago. This is the daily thread. It does what is says on the tin. Every day. All fact-checked info in one thread.

Can Trump steal a headline grabbing 'win' from Oleshky to stave off an impending trouncing in the Midterms? And is Russia stepping up war crimes and terrorism because it fears losing a White House asset? As always, here's the daily🧵

Day 1707 of the war in Ukraine and here's the latest daily thread. It's one of those days when things are a little more awkward than usual, but I'll do my best to maintain the high standards you expect. Fact checked news & analysis , always delivered with humanity and humour.

We are starting the 244th week of Russia's all out war. Putin's "second army of the world" is more than 1,700 days behind schedule in reaching Kyiv. Ukraine stands proud, stays free on Day 1706 of the Kremlin's full scale invsion. Here's my daily🧵- gifts of coffee welcome!

Hello again and thanks for joining me on Day 1705 of Russia's attempt to remove Ukraine from the map. Time for another daily thread, with all the fact-checked news of the war in one handy thread, updated throughout the day, every single day, without fail.

It's so daunting on the very slim occasions when I start the daily thread so late. So much to catch up on. Missiles hitting a Russian military plant, a POW exchange, another ship sunk in Romanian waters, a 'ceasefire' in Oleshky and the latest on peace talks. It's Day 1703

Day 1702. We go again. Hours after Steve Witless, trump's financial envoy, called Putin "a humanitarian", predictably the indicted war criminal inhumanely ordered one of the biggest ever missile strikes on Ukraine. All the details, like every day, in my daily thread:

Day 1701 of Ukraine's battle for survival. There is a growing fear that the country's fate may be decided by the Trump-Putin alliance in the next two weeks, as a 'Useful Idiot' estate agent arrives in Russia. Just like every single day of the war, I'm back with THE daily🧵

Hello again at the start of a new week. It's Day 1699 of the war in Ukraine. Just as Ukraine's army starts pushing the invaders back, Russia's sworn enemy comes to its rescue, Agent Krasnov (aka Trump) doing all he can to defeat Ukraine. Here's my new daily thread..

Day 1698 of Russia's all-out war on Ukraine, and 4,623 days since Putin started his invasion of now occupied Crimea. A late start to the daily thread today, after last night's very late finish, but as always, I am here with all the important news in one thread.

It's Day 1696 of the clear genocide in Ukraine. I have no time for genocide deniers, or those leaders who are too afraid of "rocking the boat" to say it. Russia is murdering civilians every day, trying to destroy all culture in the country it invaded in 2014 + 2022 Here's the🧵

Day 1694 of Russia's war in Europe starts with just one question. Has he, or hasn't he? Did Presidementia stop sharing Intel, leading to direct deaths and damage in Ukraine, and did his lap-dog Musk also limit Starlink to lessen problems for Russia? Here's my daily thread.

Good morning, though it doesn't seem too good. The war in Europe continues, and it's Day 1692 of Russia's insane and inhumane all-out assault on Ukraine. Yep, I am still going, never missed a day, so here's Monday's thread:
