There are so many defenders of Ukrainian Civilisation on this site. Please consider supporting Mykhailo Myna, who was wounded on October 17, 2023, and is now a double amputee. Please read his story, it's the least you could do. ctzn24.com/en/hero/300

"Now is the winter of their discontent, made glorious summer by this sun of Omsk"

It takes years to educate a human being. It takes Russians seconds to intentionally destroy it.

⚠️ Ukraine Daily Update: 16-17 June 2026 Brendan Kelley: @kelley7622.tochnyi.info In Trostianetska hromada, Sumy Oblast, an 11-year-old girl, two men aged 42 and 48, and a 47-year-old woman were injured as a result of a Russian drone strike on a gas station.

That leaves one more radial-forging machine in Russia - at the ‘Electrostal’ Metallurgical Plant "Electrostal", located in the city of Elektrostal, roughly 58 kilometres east of Moscow. 6/11

If Ukraine hit Barikady’s radial forging machine, this would have a significant impact on Russia’s ability to forge barrels, warheads and other components. The spare parts Russia needs to repair this machine are no longer available after companies GFM and SKS cut all links with it. 5/11

🧵If Ukraine struck 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬⁣ part of the Barrikady factory complex, it is significant. This morning's FP-5 'Flamingo' strike on the JSC "FNVTS 'Titan-Barrikady' plant in Volgograd highlights a critical vulnerability in Russia’s supply chain for its long-range missile capabilities. 1/11

Welcome home, heroes! 160 defenders returned from russian captivity today 💙💛

Every time there's a prisoner exchange, I go on Threads and endlessly like posts about people reuniting with their loved ones after russian captivity. Somehow, the Threads algorithm has become my mental therapy.

Updated map of the regions of Russia where there are shortages of gasoline or diesel. As always it's worse in the occupied territories. Added 7 regions. Oryol, Buryatia, Bryansk, Novgorod, Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk and Yamal.

Russian doctors have been complicit in many war crimes during Russia's war against Ukraine. Ukraine's justice list for them will be long, with no statute of limitations. khpg.org/en/1608815869

Russia is recruiting Africans for troll farms and influence ops targeting Europe. From fake accounts spreading division in the Netherlands to amplifying migration fears and anti-EU sentiment, Moscow is weaponising African labour for its hybrid war.

This Father's day, I'm thinking of all the Ukrainian fathers who cannot see their daughter. For children everywhere, the absence of Dad from children's lives is the absence of an irreplaceable rock.

The return of Ukraine's stolen people's from captivity in Russia is dependent on the defeat of the Russian armed forces. It is a moral imperative to support Ukraine's victory in this war.

Kateryna fled occupied Mariupol and rebuilt her business in Kyiv. The latest russian strike destroyed it too. "I have ten sets of keys, but nothing left to open. One fit my Mariupol apartment, eight fit the shops we lost there. The last one fits my Kyiv shop that burned down." 💔

🧵 What is the true scale of Russia’s Shahed drone production at Alabuga? We analysed Russian media footage of Alabuga to estimate the total Shahed engine output at this infamous facility in need of deletion - and we observed how production there is being scaled up. 1/8

We once looked on passively as the Taliban destroyed 1,500 year old Buddhist statues. We must refuse to do nothing as Russia, likewise, deliberately targets the oldest, most beautiful religious churches in Ukraine such as the Lavra. This is a night which really should change the war.

June 13 is the Day of the (first) Liberation of Mariupol. On that day in 2014, the Ukrainian army freed the town of russian invaders and terrorists. By 2022, Mariupol grew into a rising star at the Azov shore. I hope to live to see the second Liberation Day of Mariupol.

If you want to find out more about this shadow fleet tanker and others, please tune into Stanimir's, @delfoo.bsky.social, segment on today's Tochnyi Weekly. He's been tracking them for a long time. x.com/i/status/206...

📋 The Smyrtos, the Russian shadow fleet Aframax tanker which the UK intercepted last night, loaded 106 000 tons at Ust Luga last week. It left port during the week of May 31st to June 6th.

Another example of the Adverse Childhood Experiences that Russians perpetrate on Ukrainian children. In this case that of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse.

The stripping of these Ukrainian childrens' cultural identity happens by force - and is one of the many potential Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) they suffer at the hands of the Russians who perpetrate these war crimes.

What happens to a child taken from Ukraine? (1/12)

The inflection in this BBC anchor's voice on "unprecedented" is a vocal and emotional contagion - influencing how people react. As if the theft of thousands of Ukrainian children merit any comparison to a legitimate strike on an oil refinery during an 'economic forum'. Do better, Jane Hill.

During russia's attack on Kyiv on June 2, Veronika, a mother of two was killed while running with her children to a shelter. Her sons, aged 2 and 4, were taken to Okhmatdyt children's hospital. The mother did everything she could to save her children. She did not survive. 💔 Source: Suspilne, TSN.

Fascinating read.

Don't forget Ukraine's brave men and women, who have made such sacrifices for us; Sacrifices of the small things in life for the able-bodied that for them are now forever out of reach. Support Ukrainian veterans. through charities like @fierce-calm.bsky.social Боже, бережи Україну.

So many young people are caught up in this war that russia started. Ukrainians are an inspiration to the world. #Kyiv

The sheer number of Russian drone attacks against Ukrainian civilians should be headlines around the world. Russia's human safari against civilians continues unabated. tochnyi.info/2026/05/ukra...

Civilians being hunted by Russian drones in Kramatorsk. Absolutely sickening 🤬

If you don't yet have this book, I cannot recommend it enough. A terrific collection of the stories behind Ukraine's first cricketers.

Our next charity #cricket match is taking shape: this September in London! 🇺🇦🏏 The idea is a T20 between a Ukraine Charity XI (as we did for last year's Euro Cup in Warsaw), and a World XI of celebrities and professional cricketers. So tell us: which stars should we invite to play? Tag them here ⬇️

Ukraine’s mid-range strike operations are becoming faster, broader, and more systematic. @hartreefock.bsky.social and our researchers analyse the expanding aerial campaign against Russian military infrastructure in occupied territories and Russian border regions. tochnyi.info/2026/04/cont...

Russian tanker port data. At Ust-Luga the LNG terminal is offline. Gas condensate facility is operational. The adjusted in oil shipments was minimal. Oil is down this week and with adjustments it might be down to 1 million barrels a day and oil products are down to 1 tanker.

On the eve of the Palm Sunday in Ukraine, demonic russia destroyed one more church. The invaders again directly shelled the Greek-Sophia Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Kherson, causing significant damage there. Supporting russia means supporting the evil. 📸 Vitaliy Malaniy

Explosions in Poltava. Air defense is shooting down Russian drones . Or what I call, a dull Monday night in Ukraine

Last day of term woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ukraine's LRS campaign has been efficacious against Russia's layered A2AD infrastructure. A new analysis for Tochnyi from @hartreefock.bsky.social drops tomorrow at 1200 Kyiv.

😠 A Russian politician has abducted and renamed a Ukrainian child. Sergey Mironov allegedly took the girl from Kherson, changed her identity, and separated her from her sister, in what is considered a war crime. 🧵 1/9

New in depth study coming soon on Tochnyi.info: Russian air defence losses are reaching structurally significant levels. Key systems, radars, and coverage layers are being steadily degraded.
