Thread by @TWMCLtd

Saturday 5 November - Day 255 of daily threads.

Every single day, reporting the truth, cutting the waffle, on #Russia's war of choice on #Ukraine.

Updated "live" so check back, scroll though and share!

Coming up 🇬🇧🇺🇦 partnership, assassination attempt and landmark 🇷🇺losses...

A few people miss some things from the day before and find it handy to have a link to the previous thread, which is why I post it each day.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

#UK has long supported #Ukraine, and not only with weapons - maybe it's to make up for guilt over the Budapest Memorandum letdown!

Today the Ministry of Defence will again be helping in a more unseen way:

#SlavaUkraini

On 6 September #Russia's war dead in #Ukraine hit 50,000*

So in 6.5 months, 50k killed.

Today we hit 75,000. So another 25k in less than two months. Not a good time to be newly mobilised cannon fodder"

*Ukraine's official figures

Puppet authorities in #Donetsk report an assassination attempt on someone they describe as "Judge Nikulin of the Supreme Court of the DPR"

He was shot in the town of #Vuhlehirsk (RU: #Uglegorsk). At this stage they say he is alive but most such deaths are only reported later.

#RussiaOnFire - 15 people have died in a nightclub fire in #Kostroma

The blaze happened in the early hours today at the Polygon Cafe in the city, which is around 300km NW of #Moscow.

The horrific blaze in #Kostroma is not directly linked to the war. However it's not uncommon for appalling safety breaches in #Russia: corners cut with rampant corruption and so much money being pumped in to a pointless war.

This is the scene of the blaze now:

#StopRussia

Even with huge 'manpower' #Russia is finding throwing bodies at the war is not helping. Untrained, unarmed and demotivated soldiers don't make the best fighters😉

I made a mistake...
Let the memes continue...
#Chornobaivka #Chernobaevka

This place will become a bizarre tourist spot in future years!

So what is happening today near #Chornobaivka airfield in #Kherson?

We don't know exactly, but there is a column of smoke a few days after satellite photos showed #Russia had seemingly deserted the place.

#RussiansGoHome #SaveUkraine

One of #Russia's most popular music stars of the last 20 years spoke passionately against the war during a concert in #London.

@Zemfiralive rounded off her world tour at the Royal Albert Hall with the words “Right now my country is destroying #Ukraine and itself.”

A massive hit early this morning on a suspected #Russia "warehouse" in #Luhansk region.

Occupiers say 4 #HIMARS rockets hit garages in the Zheleznodorozhnikov quarter of #Svatove.

#Ukraine lost momentum here the last 2 weeks with massive Russian resistance.

#Lugansk #Svatovo

Another #Ukraine hit on a #Russia base in occupied territory looks to have happened in #Kherson region.

This is Chulavivka hospital, south of the Dnipro. It's widely believed the invaders have used it as a base.

The hospital closed, just 1 ambulance remains in #HolaPrystan area

#Russia and its 'war bloggers' have been saying for weeks that it is close to taking #Avdiivka in #Donetsk oblast.

The frontline town remains in #Ukraine hands, despite intense artillery bombardment. Here's a rare video from the settlement.

#RussiansGoHome #Donbas #Avdeevka

I think this video is a couple of days old, but saw it on a Telegram channel this morning.

It's the remains of the Spartak Sports Stadium in occupied #Kherson.

#Russia kept military equipment and air defences here until recently - #Ukraine did manage to land at least one hit.

An unpleasant site reported in occupied #Melitopol today.

It's not clear from this single photo, but locals say a Lenin monument has been erected. Like the signpost in #Donetsk, I posted yesterday, it won't last long!

#StandWithUkraine️ #StopRussia #RussiansGoHome

If you didn't see it yesterday - here is what happened in Donetsk!

Good point, forgot about this.

@cossackgundi is allowed to permit himself a wry smile.

Having been caught out with the remains of its killer drones in #Ukraine, the regime in #Iran finally admits it has given #Russia "kamikaze" Shahed-136s.

However, now they pretend they were only sent BEFORE the war started!

Still can't explain those frequent flights to Moscow!

It's difficult to be certain about territorial claims and gains in the "fog of war"

However, it's looking very likely now that #Ukraine's forces have pushed #Russia's troops back out of #Pavlivka in #Donetsk oblast. Big losses on both sides.

#StopRussia #SlavaUkraini

In #Mykolaiv pro-Russian channels have reported explosions in the current air-raid warning.

However previously #Ukraine had said they were preparing to safely explode second world war bombs found in the region.

#Nikolaev #StandWithUkraine️

Clever street art seen on #Maidan in #Ukraine's capital #Kyiv

#SlavaUkraini

Just been able to add another 15 snowsuits for #Ukraine's troops alongside the boots and thermals which will soon be on their way to the frontline.

Still annoyed @damart_uk @Damart_fr refused to support our fundraiser with thermal clothing.
@Bradford_TandA

#Ukraine's army releases details of a significant hit on a #Russia Command Post.

The strike was at the Refma refrigeration plant in Occupied #Melitopol.

They published these photos, claiming 50 invaders were killed or wounded and 90 pieces of equipment damaged or destroyed.

You may be interested to see a new video taken inside the nightclub in #Kostroma while the fire started to take hold. 15 died in the blaze in #Russia.

A local has been arrested. Authorities say someone fired a flare gun inside the club.

A fire at an electrical substation in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

Authorities say it was a fault and not an air strike by #Russia, although not everyone is convinced.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Video from yesterday's strike on a hotel used by #Russia's troops in occupied #Kakhovka, #Kherson region.

Each few days I read about #Russia destroying #HIMARS equipment in "pinpoint" raids.

Then word from the U.S. that #Ukraine has not lost a single one of the American donated rocket systems.

politico.com/news/2022/11/0…

In #Zaporizhzhia oblast a local business was hit by shelling.

The director says it's a miracle none of 4 employees on site at the time was injured when a rocket landed right outside.

#RussiaOnFire

A group calling itself the "People's Movement of the Legion Freedom of Russia" claims it has caused this fire in #Yekaterinburg.

They claim these are fuel tanks on their way to the war zone.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine️

Here's the original post by the "People's Movement of the Legion Freedom of Russia", translated in to English.

The group claims responsibility for a rail fire in #Yekaterinburg and appeals for Russian soldiers to join their ranks.

#Russia #Ukraine #SaverUkraine

A new record! This forcibly mobilised guy from #Russia was captured by #Ukraine within 90 minutes of deployment.

glavred.info/ukraine/uspel-…

Unconfirmed reports that #Ukraine has hit more of #Russia's bases in #Kherson oblast.

The strikes are said to be in #Radensk (over the river and 25km from Kherson city) and #Rubanivka which is 150km east of Kherson

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome

More astonishing actions from the invaders in #Kherson

#Russia's troops have raided an elite restaurant "Palazzo" and stolen everything they could, including 3 toilets!

I reported a big attack by #Ukraine on Russian forces in #Svatove, but I don't even think anyone guessed how big.

Quoting survivors, Vyorstka media in #Russia says 500+ may have been killed, the rest were abandoned. Relatives in Voronezh protest outside local govt buildings

translate @vidtranslator

The previous video I have tried to get auto translated, not arrived yet - will post asap.

This was not a single strike, it was concerted artillery fire on the soldiers who were only mobilised 2-3 weeks ago; relatives say they were ill-equipped and abandoned by Commanders.

It's being reported by other media in #Voronezh that of 570 forcibly mobilised to the battalion, just 29 people survived, of whom 12 were wounded.

#PutinsCannonFodder #RussiansGoHome

Not #RussiaOnFire but occupied #Crimea on fire this time.

Officials say a cafe caught fire in the village of Okhotniche near #Yalta.

No people were reported to be in the cafe when the fire broke out. 12 firefighters attended, so not too big.

#CrimeaIsUkraine

@vidtranslator translate

Occupied #Donetsk has been badly hit by shelling tonight.

The Kyivsky and Leninsky districts have been hit - the video is from the latter.

Russia says 6 HIMARS rockets landed there with a fire now at the Raduga supermarket.

#RussiansGoHome #SaveUkraine

Translation of the video I posted earlier, relatives in #Voronezh protest after the massacre of the battalion.

A fire at a school in western #Russia region looks suspicious to many #Ukraine media.

The Pestunovo village school in #Belgorod region has reportedly not been used for a while. Instead, the suspicion is it's been used to base mobilised recruits.

#StandWithUkraine

Civilians are again attacked in #Zaporizhzhia.

Locals say #Russia's fired on a residential area of the city tonight.

Emergency services are tackling a fire there. it's not known how many victims there are.
