Day 1564 of the war in Ukraine. Russia is not yet "on the run" - Ukraine is only gaining about the same amount of land it is losing, but the invaders fear a Kyiv, Kharkiv, or Kherson-like retreat may be forced upon them in the south. This is Saturday's daily thread:

RFKjr congratulates himself on "containing" measles. (Self congratulation is a familiar maga sound bite.) In reality, the U.S. measles cases just surpassed 2,000 cases for the second year in a row! Measles is “contained “ at the new, higher rate of spreading.

The sub-humans continue their despicable crimes in Kherson. Today an ambulance was hit in broad daylight - caught on security camera, it's incontrovertible proof of both a war crime, and I would say genocidal intent too. #RussiaIsATerroristState

Pres Zelenskyy publishes an open letter to Putin urging him to agree to peace talks. Ukraine's leader warned the indicted terrorist "you will have to fight much harder for your own existence. It's a fact of Russian history that you know well: when Russia grows tired, change comes."

There is no equivalent video for Russian children killed in the war, because Ukraine does not target civilians.

Hello there! Here is Thursday's version of THE daily Ukraine news thread. It's Day 1562 of Russia's full invasion, but Day 4488 since Putin first started his operation to invade Crimea and eastern Ukraine. Thanks for supporting quality, independent journalism💙💛

182 years ago, on the 3rd of June 1844, the last two confirmed Great Auks were killed off the coast of Iceland on request of a merchant. Their colony had been close to 50 in number in 1835. The pair were incubating an egg when killed. #otd #history 🗃️

Day 1561 of the war is upon us - this is the daily thread for Wednesday 3 June 2026. And the day is only a few hours old, but it's already been a dramatic start with the second city of #RussiaOnFire All the details, fact-checked, throughout the day, every single day.

Recovery of bodies in Dnipro after fascist Russia's June 2 missile strike on the city. The confirmed death toll in the southeastern Ukrainian city so far is 11 - two of them children.

Bloody murdering, terrorist russians.

Day 1560 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and this morning Russia's predicted massive attack has arrived. Multiple civilians have been murdered and the number is growing. As I always say, this happens because we in the west have been too weak to stop it. Here's the daily🧵

FLASHBACK: Barbara Walters called out Trump for being $3 BILLION in debt, infidelity, not talking to his son, reading the works of Hitler, etc Real Journalism used to be a thing! (Now ask yourself what long-term promises you might make to people if you were billions in debt…)

A YouGov poll has the percentage of US adults who identify as MAGA as just 18% of citizens. However they account for 57% of Republicans. Both percentages are much lower than you would expect from the noise they make.

Happy Hurricane Season, Americans.

The US military has now murdered 200 people in small boats in the waters off South America. Local fishing communities have been upended.

That squatter in the People's House posted over 50 times yesterday, I suppose he didn't mention any of this. 🙄

No massive Russian Blitz air raid tonight, but the window for another big attack is opening. As usual drones are harassing Ukrainian cities - a drone struck a residential building in Odesa (video) with 1 reported injured, in Kharkiv 2 injured in a strike on a five-story building.

To be clear - Russia is deliberately fueling separatist rhetoric, just like in Donbas Ukraine. We have seen this playbook before. Be smart, Canada! Researchers described Russia's engagement with Alberta separatism as covert; it appears "doctrinal, operational and sustained".

1/3 First, breaking news this morning that certainly puts this war back on the front pages + leading bulletins again in the west, as Romania & its people have been attacked by Russia Romania confirms while Russia attacked Ukraine's Danube ports, one hit a tower block in Galați

Day 1556 of Russia's appalling all-out war and the day a Russian drone has hit a tower block in NATO territory. Article 5? Or will the "defensive alliance" brush it under the smouldering carpets of people's homes in Romania? This is Friday's daily thread...

US Intel has again warned Russia will strike more heavy blows on Kyiv within 48 hours. So far, the embassy in Ukraine's capital has not issued a statement to its citizens in Kyiv, but Friday night looks like being another tough one.
