I'm starting a daily thread on #Russia's illegal war for the 200th time.

Yes, we made it to Day 200, but Putin's 4-day "special operation" to take #Kyiv and 10-days to control all of #Ukraine is going "according to plan"😉🤥

All the Ukraine news, all day every day right here⬇️

First, notice the date, 11 September or "9/11"
Please remember all the victims of that horrific day in the U.S.

Hopefully #Russia's terrorism is being beaten thanks to the heroes of #Ukraine, at the front, protecting a free country.
Saturday was amazing:

Last night Pres @ZelenskyyUa announced that two more villages in #Kharkiv had been liberated; #Vasylenkove and #Artemivka.

In truth it's just that #Ukraine's forces only just walked in there. Here's @TheStudyofWar's new map showing how much land is confirmed reclaimed in Kharkiv

While there are rumours of #Ukraine's army already fighting to reclaim #Donetsk airport, #Lysychansk + #Severodonetsk, I'm treating these as just rumours until I get confirmation

100% we do know🇺🇦 crossed the Siversky Donets river in #Donetsk and is fighting for #Lyman + #Yampil

A poerful missile struck the centre of #Dnipro city early this morning.

Officials say it landed in the residential area. A 72 year old man is seriously injured.

As well as private houses, shops, a market and administrative buildings were also damaged.
#RussiaIsATerroristState

In the wider #Dnipropetrovsk region the usual suspects of #Nikopol and #Marhanets were shelled again overnight.

Over 30 grad rockets were fired at the former, injuring 3 people.

Damage to 35 residential buildings, educational institutions, cars, gas pipelines & power lines.

As dawn broke in #Kherson oblast, fireworks were still spraying out in #NovaKakhovka.

Another Howitzer hit on a Russian arms dump - the "show" lasted well over 2 hours with ammunition constantly exploding.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia

⚡️Breaking⚡️

The nuclear power plant at #Enerhodar is in a critical state again after more shelling.

The management agency says the #Zaporizhzhia plant is disconnected from the grid again. They must put it into "cold shutdown" for safety reasons.
#RussiaIsATerroristState

At least two missile strikes in occupied #Donetsk.
One man is reported to have died.

This is the scene of one of the hits.
#Dnbas #Ukraine

While #Ukraine has done amazingly well in the east of #Kharkiv there are reports of #Russia advancing in the north of the region.

Kozacha Lopan, just 3km from the Russian border, may well have been captured by the invaders along with Sosnivka a hamlet a little further west.

9 civilians wounded, four seriously, in #Mykolaiv (#Nikolaevwhen a missile landed in the city.

Residential buildings are damaged after one big missile landed in the courtyard.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #RussiansGoHome

Another big explosion in #Ukraine-held territory.

This is the lunchtime view of #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk) in #Donetsk region. Quite possibly another fuel dump.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

#Russia's losses today (according to #Ukraine sources) show higher than average numbers for tanks, aircraft, APVs, other vehicles, special equipment and personnel. Another 400 soldiers died for Putin's illegal war in the last 24 hours.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome

Update on the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in occupied #Enerhodar.
Thankfully immediate fears have eased.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussiaNOW

#Russia has not returned children to #Ukraine who were due to be go home from "summer camp"

They claim it's too dangerous to return them to #Balakliia and #Izium so they stay in #Krasnodar "for a 2nd shift"

Now with no Russians remaining, parents are under pressure to move to🇷🇺

#Russia needs to deflect from the catastrophic capitulation in #Kharkiv & boost morale.
So this claim is to be treated with caution

🇷🇺says 250 #Ukraine soldiers, 12 APVs destroyed when Iskander missiles hit #Pokrovsk (RU: #Krasnoarmeysk) station during unloading.

2/2

The Head of #Pokrovsk (RU: #Krasnoarmeysk) Ruslan Trebushkin, made a video in the town.
He admits there were 5 cruise missile strikes, so although no sign of APVs, railway here, it is in theory possible they are not showing damage elsewhere.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

A clutch more settlements in #Kharkiv region officially liberated from #Russia's occupation.

.. and a few kilometres away in #Sloviansk another apartment block has been shelled.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome

#Russia's retreat from #Kherson?

Extraordinary claims on a usually reliable (pro-#Ukraine) Telegram channel in the occupied city.

Normally I'd dismiss it, but after yesterday, anything's possible!
Here's the translation

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome

100%
💙💛These colours don't run!

Everything going to plan in the elections across #Russia!

Just in the last hour @Sota_Vision reports one candidate arrested. One official observer kidnapped and now another observer files a complaint after needing hospital treatment after people tried to stop her leaving her car

Just 3 km from the border with #Russia, the village of Hoptivka (RU: #Goptovka) is confirmed as free occupation.

All these places are just abandoned now, The north of #Kharkiv region, right up to the border is likely all #Ukraine controlled now.

#VseBudeUkraina #SlavaUkraini

#Ukraine's General Staff has just confirmed the "mighty" Russian army is now retreating from positions in #Kherson region.

Yesterday #Russia's occupation in #Kharkiv region collapsed.

Video clip of a huge blast to hit #Voznesensk in #Mykolaiv region today.

It's about 50 miles/80km north-west from the city of #Mykolaiv/#Nikolaev.

This was is nowhere near over. Do not be complacent.

As daylight faded in #Donetsk a little earlier, there were more strikes in the occupied city.
This in the Kyivsky district.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Looks like #Russia may have hit the Thermal Power Plant in #Kremenchuk/#kremenchug as well as the strike on #Kharkiv.

This is just one of the cities currently sitting in darkness.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussiaNOW

Update:

In #Sumy, #Dnipropetrovsk and #Poltava regions of #Ukraine, electricity supplies have been restored,

Work is ongoing in #Kharkiv where the original shelling of the power plant happened.

Remind me, which side is the Nazis?

Earlier he wrote "It is not enough to return #Ukraine to the middle of the 19th century. These urchins need to be hammered into the stone age. It will be fair."

Satellite photos seem to reveal what looks like plenty of #Iran's equipment being used by #Russia to kill in #Ukraine.

#USA intel said it, Kremlin denied it, so we knew it was true.
