Friday's daily thread covering #Russia's war on #Ukraine starts here
In the #UK, 4 November is/was "Mischief Night" (is that still a thing?); sadly every day's a nightmare for Ukrainians
It's Day 254
Coming up: pleas for help from people in Mariupol and a new #Bucha documentary
Firstly, thanks to Tony for buying me a coffee (and a bacon sandwich too!)
If you think I deserve a coffee, see my bio.
If you missed anything yesterday, here's the link:
It's 3am in #Mariupol where temps will dip to +2
While many other areas of #Ukraine don't have power, many residents in occupied Mariupol don't even have windows. Civilians still forced to live in ruined tower blocks, hang banners "Children freezing" & "Where are the windows"
A new documentary by some of the biggest organisations in journalism, shows the definitive truth about war crimes in #Bucha.
10 months ago #Russia's 'army' was committing appalling acts just outside #Kyiv
Graphic video:
#Ukraine's troops still defend valiantly in #Bakhmut.
The city is ruined. Some citizens still remain. So does humanity. Food is scarce, but always important to find enough for man's best friends.
In #Donetsk region, a house has been partially destroyed in #Makiivka (RU: #Makeevke)
Looks like a missile attack, but the Occupiers are silent so far.
#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
No photos but credible reports of a Russian base having been hit this morning in #Oleshka in #Kherson region.
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Russia is employing troops to shoot its own troops if they try to retreat. It's so Hitleresque!
I thought we may have the first day of 1,000 Russian deaths in #Ukraine. In the event just short, but I think the second highest daily number of 🇷🇺soldiers killed in battle
#Ukraine's President will soon be (back) on @netflix
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a guest on the chat show "My next guest needs no introduction" hosted by legendary David Letterman.
The two chatted in a metro station.

Occupied #Donetsk region - a missile has hit the town of #Horlivka.
No news yet on target or damage.
#StandWithUkraine
Last night I reported on the strike of a building in occupied #Makiivka.
#Russia says one woman died.
But if it was a #Ukraine hit, they've had very good intel and precision western weapons to pick off accommodation used by invading soldiers.
#Makeevka #RussianGoHome
A bridge in deepest Russia appears to be coming out in sympathy with the #Antonivskyi in #Kherson!
A big hole suddenly appeared here in #Orsk near the border with Kazakhstan
#Netherlands announces a new €120 million military aid package for #Ukraine.
The deal will include tanks and other weapons.
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Three more fires of some note in #Russia today.
1: one person died, 25 rescued in #Vladivostok
2: Blaze inside shopping centre in #Penza
3: #Ukyanovsk - big fire in new development.
#RussiaOnFire
A court in occupied #Sevastopol has declared 17 "missing" crew of the #Moskva dead.
But the law refuses to recognise them as victims of war or combat. Relatives would have to wait 2 years for that verdict.

More great news for #Ukraine from the #USA
The only worry may be the US midterms and if Republicans take back control they may stop the support.
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Some networks in #Russia reporting explosions in #Taganrog. Initial reports were over an hour ago and nothing since.
Once previously during the war Taganrog lost power after similar reports. The city if about 50km from #Ukraine

Earlier today officials in Occupied #Kherson said there would be a "round-the-clock" curfew.
It seems there's been widespread anger even among troops, police and Russian sympathisers. The traitor Head has now been forced to deny new restrictions, the 22:00-05:00 curfew remains.
Today #Ukraine's cheeky postal service published another new stamp, this time called "#Crimea Bridge: the encore"
The official launch was on the "Klichko Bridge" in #Kyiv, which famously survived #Russia's recent missile attack.

Hahahahaha!
Upgrade works in progress in occupied #Donetsk!
Earlier today in the city centre they unveiled a signpost saying "To Russia 0 km"
By the evening it had disappeared!
#SlavaUkraini #DonetskIsUkraine
Sorry for delays replying to your messages. I've been busy on multiple fronts, including our team purchasing lots of gear for #Ukraine's soldiers with the donations you guys made.
Boots, thermal underwear and Goretex jackets the main request. Full details/photos in a few days
#Russia's installed administration in #Donetsk says 6 people died in the region today in shelling it says was carried out by #Ukraine.
3 of the deaths happened here at the Stirol plant, which manufactures nitrogen fertilisers and other chemical products.
#StopRussia
Love this! #Ukraine Patriots still very evident in temporarily occupied #Kherson.
This sign received a colour makeover this morning!

Hundreds of #Russian military tents in #Belarus visible on satellite photos.
Plenty of war equipment too on the border with #Ukraine.

Two cruise missiles shot down over #Ukraine.
The country's recently improved air defences managed to hit the Kalibr missiles - one over #Mykolaiv and one in #Kherson region.
Ukrainian officials say they were fired by #Russia from the Black Sea
pravda.com.ua/news/2022/11/4…
Russian channels reporting big explosions in #Pokorovsk in the #Ukraine controlled part of #Donetsk
They claim ammo has been exploding for 3-4 hours near the railway station.
#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
Elon Musk is accused of switching off 1,300 Starlink terminals on #Ukraine's frontline last week.
The company wants the US govt to pay the bill. CNN quotes a member of #Ukraine's military saying they were "disconnected due to a lack of funding"
edition.cnn.com/2022/11/04/pol…
Quite a lot of drones have been buzzing over, and attacking, #Ukraine this evening.
#Vinnytsia #Dnipro and #Mykolaiv seem worst affected so far, but no reports of serious damage yet, except to the Iranian machinery
