Hello again. Every single day I produce daily threads detailing Russia's attempt to obliterate its peaceful neighbour.
But not everything is going to plan for Putin.
They are 1,396 days behind schedule to 'take Kyiv' - welcome to my daily🧵on Day 1399 of the full invasion.
Thursday's daily 🧵 is in production.
But Wednesday was stacked out with remarkable stories.
Make sure you've read this first!
Wednesday is Day 1386 of the needless and illegal war in Europe.
Ukraine's territorial integrity is now threatened. not only its invader Russia, but also by the former leader of the free world, the USA.
Welcome to THE Daily thread, all the important news, all day, every day...
Dunno about that. I lecture 24/7
Good morning on Day 1343 of Russia's illegal, immoral, vile, sickening war on Ukraine + myriad associated war crimes.
It's another daily thread - I've still never missed a single day of fact-checking, analysing and reporting all the important news without the gore.
Let's begin:
We know.

Russia paid Iran around $104m in gold bars for killer drones which it is using in its war on Ukraine. For those wondering why Africa’s gold is so important to Moscow, here’s your answer.

Day 1175 of Russia's genocide - for that is what it is. An attempt to erase a country and its culture.
You are not allowed to speak Ukrainian, worship in a Ukrainian church or wear yellow and blue, and of course trying to Russify 20,000 stolen children.
Here's THE daily thread for Tuesday 13 May.
Yulia Svyrydenko 🇺🇦
To anyone swayed by the rising tide of Russian disinformation suggesting life under Soviet rule in Eastern Europe was somehow “good”—ask yourself this:
If it was so great, why did millions risk everything to escape?
Hello again on a holiday for many, a very sad day for many more with the passing of the Pope, and a return to the fight for survival for all in Ukraine as Russia resumes air attacks.
It's Day 1153 of Putin's attempt to exterminate Ukraine and its culture.
This is THE daily🧵
Russia’s modern history is basically a graveyard of lies and shattered promises about peace — broken treaties, fake ceasefires, and empty talk of “friendship.” So no surprise: Putin’s so-called Easter Truce was just another sham, broken like all the rest.

Russia is far worse than ISIS.
This is bonkers, of course, but the point on threat to Europe does deserve clarification. Every time I present my book on Russia's centuries-long obsession with controlling Ukraine, there would be someone in the audience, often a Balt or a Pole, who would ask: So it is just about Ukraine only, then?
Don’t forget that Russian paramilitaries in the Central African Republic slaughtered dozens of people to secure access to a gold mine. The victims were mostly miners, traders and rebels, many of whom live very close to the Koki gold mine in the northwest

Russia is shit. Let it burn. If shit can burn.
“When America sends its president to G7, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with them. They’re convicted felons. They’re bringing crime. They’re alleged sexual predators. And some, I assume, are good people.”
Explosions all over Odesa now with Russia attacking the entire city with ballistic missiles and drones.
Zero military objective while piece of shit Biden forbids us from striking Russia's launchers and airfields.
Ukrainians are expected to continue playing by US rules.
Ah, the classic guns vs butter model in action 🤣
