Good morning (or evening) to you all on Tues 4 October.

This is the start of my daily thread for Day 223, documenting #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine

If you missed the MUSKalculations yesterday evening, you need to scroll through Monday's thread:

Another blow to #Russia as @nvidia finally announces it's stopping all operations in the Terrorist State.

The company makes chips, and though it had already suspended export, it kept a base there "to support employees"

(Paywall but you can listen free)

Plenty of smoke in #Donetsk on Monday evening.
Still no reports from the Occupiers as to what happened in the Occupied city.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

Some are convinced @elonmusk was hacked; there've been no posts since the sh*tstorm 5+ hours ago when he posted something Putin would write.

Many in #Ukraine quick to remind Elon of this photo from #Mariupol when #Russia's invaders wrote "Elon Musk is a dick" on a beloved Tesla

#Kharkiv already under attack today.

Mayor of the city has confirmed an "industrial facility" was hit by missiles along with infrastructure.

Bombs fell in the Novobavarskyi and Kholodnohirskyi districts.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

A couple of days ago, "Miss Crimea" was seen singing a patriotic #Ukraine song ("Oi u luzi chervona kalyna") - the video went viral.

Now another video where Olha Valeeva is forced to apologise by #Russia and fined 40,000 rubles. Her friend was ordered detained for 10 days.

The British daily Intelligence update reports on another conscription wave by #Russia which I was unaware of.

#StopRussia

It's now known a 46 year old woman died in the rocket on Novobavarsky in #Kharkiv.

A fire which broke out, was soon containedthe #Ukraine authorities report.

#StandWithUkraine

At some point in the previous 24 hours, the number of APVs destroyed by #Ukraine hit 5,000.

A huge 44 tanks over the last day too while the death toll for #Russia also remains high, though below recent record totals.

Y'day a shell hit the Kontinent mall in #Donetsk (see link) and I said we may never know who was to blame.

Now apparent debris of a Kh-31 missile, used by #Russia was found there.

I assess it's a mistake/fault rather than a deliberate false flag attack

#Ukraine issues advice on how to survive a nuclear (or dirty) bomb.

If you're outside:

Don't look at the flash.
Lie down feet towards the explosion.
Move to shelter after the shockwave

The news in the previous tweet comes after a report in @thetimes predicting #Russia will conduct a nuclear "test" to scare #Ukraine on the border.

It's believed a "nuclear train" is on its way to Russia's western border.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia

Courts in #Russia busy...

One fines TikTok 3,000,000 rubles for not removing video "propaganda" of LGBT material.

Another court raises the punishment to 4m for Twitch after it refused to delete an interview with @arestovych

Life in #Russia!

More shocking photos of a freed #Ukraine soldier after being held by #Russia

#Azov's Dmytro Kozatskyi (aka Orest) says he doesn't want to look like a victim. But how can we think otherwise when looking at his emaciated body?

Three more villages confirmed liberated by #Ukraine

Bohuslavka and Borivska Andriivka are in #Kharkiv region while Novopetrivka in #Kherson oblast has also been freed from #Russia's Occupiers.

Here a few remaining residents in Bohuslavka sing the national hymn as the flag rises

Responding to news that Pres @ZelenskyyUa refuses to negotiate with #Putin, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry 'Rolex' Peskov said:
"We will either wait for a change in the positions of the current president, or we will wait for the future Ukraine President, who will change his position"

This reportedly Crimeans queueing in #Kazakhstan to change their Russian passports for #Ukraine documents, having managed to flee Russia's occupation of the peninsula.

#StandWithUkraine

#Russia's installed "head" of #Kherson is being mocked for another video insisting the frontline hasn't changed

#Russia has mined the 1st & 2nd atomic power units of the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

That's the allegation Hryhory Plachkov, ex-head of #Ukraine's State Inspectorate.

"We receive reports of bullying of the station's personnel" said Plachkov.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

Biden reveals provision of $625m more military aid for #Ukraine in Presidential phone call to @ZelenskyyUa.

The support will include additional weapons and equipment, including #HIMARS, artillery systems and ammunition, and armoured vehicles.

The #EU has agreed its 8th round of sanctions on #Russia, with full details announced tomorrow when they will be voted through to become law.

There will be a price cap on oil sales, #Cyprus #Greece & #Malta asked for assurances over lost tanker revenue.

Very strange look to the sky over #Belgorod in #Russia tonight.

Propagandists are trying to persuade anyone who will listen it's a super new secret weapon.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Explosions heard in both #Odesa and #Dnipro this evening, but no reports of missiles landing - it seems to be air defence working on missiles or drones.
