It's Sunday, it's also Day 221 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine

Here's the daily thread of news and views around the illegal war.

Yesterday was a memorable one, if you missed anything, scroll through Saturday's posts here:

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

Updates from me may be a little delayed today due to my day job (commentating in Budapest), but doing my best!

The @IAEA continues to call for the release of the Director of #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, who's detained by #Russia.

@RafaelMGrossi is heading there this week

Today is the day #Russia's losses have gone past 60,000

All wasted lives, blood on the hands of one man, plus probably twice as many wounded, many disabled for life.

In the rout of #Lyman, #Ukraine also destroyed so much equipment yesterday:

#SlavaUkraini

Here's the British Intel update for Sunday. Not surprisingly it's all about #Lyman.

Imagine being one of the those reservists mobilised last week, sent straight to the cauldron, sentenced to death by #Russia a week after your normal life was shattered by #Putin.

#StopRussia

#Ukraine's army has been publishing photos of stuff left behind in #Lyman after another chaotic evacuation by #Russia's soldiers

Not sure they're allowed long hair, so can only assume the women's hairbrush here is just another looted item.

#StopPutinNOW #RussiaIsATerroristState

Overnight #Russia struck a college in #KryvyiRih in southern #Ukraine.

This is the home town of President @ZelenskyyUa and a kamikaze drone was used to target the lyceum in the city centre. Still no details from authorities about damage or casualties

#RussiaIsATerroristState

There was also an attack early this morning on #Zaporizhzhia.

#Russia this time targeted some holiday cottages just outside the city centre. Damage and casualties "still being assessed"

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Even though #Russia's army was driven out of #Sumy region over 4 months ago, today an example of the danger which still exists.

An employee of Ukrtelecom died when his car hit a landmine planted by Russians back in the winter.
3 passengers were wounded.

Seven people were3 injured when shells hit residential buildings in #Mykolaiv (RU: #Nikolaev) this morning.

Once again S-300 missiles (meant for air defence) were used. A large fire broke out in the city after the attack.

Soundcloud is the latest app to feel the wrath of the Kremlin!

#Russia's Big Brother has blocked access citing false information (i.e. the truth) being spread!

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

We've raised £3,178 for #Ukraine's soldiers - just 11 days left of the appeal.

I know there are a lot of fundraisers but we can source discounted winter clothes and thanks to Polish/Ukrainian Michal and his team, free transport to Ukraine. Thanks💙💛

#Lyman has been completely cleared of #Russia's invaders.

#Ukraine's President made a special short video post on Telegram to inform the nation of the news about the town in #Donetsk region, which two days ago #Putin pledged would forever be Russia.

#SlavaUkraini

#Russia is today claiming this strike in #Dnipro three days ago killed "more than 35 employees of #Ukraine's Security Service, including foreign advisers"

It says in total more than 40 people are missing:

Another twist in the mystery of the buried sea mines!

You may remember yesterday the videos I posted showing the burial of what seems to have been mines.
Some feared #Russia could contaminate the soil and then explode the bombs. UA Online reckons it was just another 🇷🇺 fake!

#Lyman 1 October 2022

🇬🇧💙💛🇺🇦

I am interested by this propaganda from the Occupiers

"#Russia guarantees all people living on the territory of the LPR, DPR, Kherson & Zaporizhzhia regions the right to preserve and study their native language."

But that's Ukrainian. They shut all🇺🇦language schools in Russia!

Four mushroom pickers have died in #Chernihiv region in #Ukraine after their car hit a Russian mine.

There is a ban on entering forests for this reason, and sadly they paid with their lives.

it's the second mine-tragedy in a day
#RussiaIsATerroristState

Extraordinary claims of #Ukraine success... from a RUSSIAN blogger.

Here's a translation of reports Ukraine's forces broke through deep into Occupied territory in #Kherson region. Completely unconfirmed but look at the map - it could be a #Russia withdrawal to east of the river.

Another of #Russia's jets has been destroyed in #Donetsk region.

#Ukraine's armed forces released these photos of the Su-34, which they did not even know had crashed and was only discovered today in liberated #Lyman.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia

After freeing #Lyman, the #Ukraine army has pushed on all the way to #Kreminna where battles are ongoing.

#Russia withdrew to here, but are thought to be having trouble to defend a solid front having retreated in haste and being outnumbered and with inferior artillery.

Didn't #Russia say the war was to defeat Nazis in Kyiv?

Now an influential 🇷🇺channel says
"Either we will win on the territory of the former Ukraine, or we will have to win in Russia. Every fighter must understand this; he went to war so that the war would not come to his house"
