Day 325 of #Russia's illegal war and the weekend begins with another attack on #Ukraine.

This is the daily thread with all the news around the conflict in one place.

For yesterday's news, click and scroll here:

Currently there is an air raid warning over 5 regions of #Ukraine with 7 of #Russia's Tu-95 jets in flight and one Tu-22.

#Kyiv #Sumy #Poltava #Chernihiv and #Cherkasy oblasts all considered at risk right now.

There have already been 5-6 explosions reported in the capital.
A leisurely morning in #Kyiv was ruined with sounds like this and people scuttling unexpectedly for shelters - the alarm raised AFTER the first blasts.

Mayor @Vitaliy_Klychko confirms a number of explosions - an attack on infrastructure.

Sunday 25 September, Day 214 of #Russia's war of choice. Imagine a leader choosing to send over 50,000 of his countrymen to death and calling up another million, against a peaceful nation which never fired on, nor invaded anyone!

Here is the daily news thread

Sunday started with a bang in #Kherson.

More on that in a moment, but Saturday was a quiet one, thankfully. If you want to scroll back through, here's the thread:

It's believed #Ukraine has killed another collaborator in #Kherson.

Former Deputy of National Affairs Oleksiy Zhuravko is one of the victims after missiles destroyed this hotel populated by Russians. He was twice an MP in Ukraine before moving to Russia in 2014.

Yesterday, Putin announced partial mobilisation of his population to fight in #Ukraine. In this thread, I'll be collecting all the Twitter proof that points to the disproportionate mobilisation of indigenous populations colonised by #russia, which is racist & colonial AF🧵
Let's kick off with this viral video from #Dagestan, located in North Caucasus and colonised by russia. Indigenous populations being sent to their death thanks to #RussianColonialism, again.
And straight to #Buryatia, where male students are taken straight out of classes. This indigenous nation tried to leave #RussianColonialism in 20th c. but russians came and slaughtered tens of thousands of people (source on this always @maksymeristavi.)

#Hydronomastics is the study of #hydronyms, the proper names of bodies of water.

It's a branch of #toponomastics, the study of #toponyms (the proper names of places), which in turn is a branch of #onomastics, the study of #orthonyms (proper names).
