It's seven months ago today that #Russia started its illegal full invasion of #Ukraine.

The "short special military operation" started in winter, and is now in its fourth season. The killing continues.

Here's the daily news thread for Saturday 24 Sept

Let's start Day 213 with #Russia's total losses after 7 months. On average 264 soldiers are being killed every day. The ratio between deaths and injured/disabled means if #Ukraine's estimates are correct likely 200,000 have been lost to the military

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

the morning update from the #UK's intelligence concentrates on #Russia's dambuster tactics!

#StopRussiaNOW #SaveUkraine

Kudos to Stuart Ramsay - back reporting on the frontline in #Ukraine after being shot in the early days of the war.

I'll forgive some of the pronunciations here because the report is a damn good, apparently exclusive, view into life on the southern axis.

Next a video showing the work done by #Ukraine's incredible emergency services.

This was from the attacks on #Zaporizhzhia, where one civilian was killed and 7 were injured by #Russia's missile strike on this apartment block.

Also in #Zaporizhzhia oblast, cctv caught the moment one of #Russia's kamikaze Iranian made drones struck.

As I reported blast night, the Iranian ambassador to #Ukraine is being expelled.

I am now prepared to back stories some media in #Russia and #Ukraine have been reporting that the Kremlin is trying to conscript over a million new recruits through #mobilisation.

Russia promised 300,000 and even that seemed high. This was clearly possible through reservists

2/2

Seeing the volume of recruits in some places plus many witness testimony videos of young men swearing they've never had any military connection shows #Putin was lying about "partial #mobilisation"

We can also see many over 50s forcibly drafted. No wonder men flee #Russia.

Freed Briton Aiden Aslin @cossackgundi has posted his first video since returning to the UK.

He was among 5 Brits and 10 foreigners freed in the Prisoner exchange deal (in which Bloomberg says Roman Abramovich was the middleman)

Aiden asks us to remember those still in 🇷🇺jails

I've just checked the situation at #Russia-#Finland border. Things seem calm - almost normal now.

Chat sites say on average about an hour to cross.
Last night Finland tightened entry regs.

New footage of the #Antonivskyi (#RU Antonovsky) bridge in occupied #Kherson.

Clearly not repairable in a short time. No sign of the pontoon bridge unless this video was shot from there.

(Can't credit as the original watermark has been blurred)

Still big queues at #Russia's border with #Georgia.
Considering my research proves not many call-ups from St Petersburg/Moscow, not surprising it's much busier than the Finnish border.

Young Russians dump cars in traffic jams & cross on bikes or on foot

An horrific tale from a woman who says she is traumatised in #Ukraine.

The only way this nightmare ends and doesn't return in a few years is to defeat Putin. Please support #Ukraine and its soldiers so we can stop the nightmares and treat those with PTSD

Some protests are taking place again in #Russia against #mobilisation. However, numbers are lower than on the day Putin announced the plans

In #Irkutsk already mass arrests, including girls and women, as in this video. Also plenty of "Titushki" - local thugs paid to help police

Safe to say that police outnumber protesters at many of the proposed rallies today. Virtually as soon as a protester is seen, the uniforms move in.

The "voting" has continued today in the four temporarily, partially occupied regions. But in #Donetsk and #Zaporizhzhia regions explosions were reported.

#Mariupol' had two blasts according to mayoral adviser Petro Andryushchenko while there was also an explosion in #Berdyansk.

In #Russia the President's address will be this coming Friday. It's likely then the official announcement of the annexation of the 4 regions of #Ukraine into the RU Federation.

There are rumours Putin may also introduce Martial Law, especially in view of today's protests.

Reports of a few skirmishes between new conscripts and police today.

Reuters published this photo after locals in #Omsk said fighting broke out.

It's alleged the mobilised men demanded the police "come and die with them in the trenches."

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

730 people were arrested during anti-mobilisation protests in #Russia today.

Among them was this elderly woman. No respect for age or liberty.

#StopRussia

Is Europe listening?
Will USA donate ATACMS?

#Ukraine says the foreign observers for the fake referenda are from 8 countries as well as #Russia.

Belarus, Syria, Egypt, Brazil, Venezuela, Uruguay, Togo, South Africa have representatives present in the occupied regions.

They may be attending in a private capacity.

#Zaporizhzhia is under attack again. Six blasts recorded so far.

#Russia has fired S-300 anti aircraft missiles again.
They were launched from near Tokmak.
No news yet on damage/casualties.
