Day 256 of #Russia's 10-day war on #Ukraine.

Here's the start of the daily thread with all the news.
Some dramatic news yesterday - if you missed it, click the link and scroll.

#StopRussia

The news agenda is still dominated by one event in #Russia, where the first serious questions are being asked by "regular" (non liberal) families over military disasters.

It follows this wipeout of a new battalion of mobilised troops by #Ukraine's forces

#Russia's daily losses, published by #Ukraine each day, shows fewer troops and equipment destroyed yesterday than in recent days.

The wipeout of the Voronezh battalion happened previously and likely included in previous days' figures.

#StopRussia

The daily Intel update from Britain's Ministry of Defence has a "weekend" feel to it again!

They revisit the sacking of General Lapin which I covered a while ago as part of a battle between #Russia's MoD and Prigozhin/Wagner 'hawks'

#StopRussia

This footage has been published in #Kherson, supposedly from the regional government building.

Remember #Russia's flag was removed earlier this week and it looks genuine that this is indeed the now abandoned building.

It's also said toilets were again stolen, but no proof here:

What did you do when you woke up this morning?
Turn on the light? Take a shower? Make a tea of coffee?

For anyone in #Ukraine the last task at night or first in the morning is to check when the power cuts will happen and if they will be able to do any of the things you and I did

In #Odesa seems they are fed up with statues being given "patriotic" makeovers!

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Devastation in #Zaporizhzhia overnight with two rockets from #Russia hitting the city centre.

At least one person died in the attacks. One shell hit a local business, the other landed in a residential area.

#Zaporozhe #RussiaIsATerroristState

Here's a before and after look at the centre of #Hulyaipole in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.

Missiles have destroyed the town centre - more wanton civilian destruction.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

Another video of devastation in #Bakhmut, where #Ukraine's troops continue to hold out against #Russia's best units.

#StandWithUkraine

In #Ukraine held #Pokrovsk huge explosions heard overnight. The likelihood is #Russia hit an ammunition dump.

Today this is how the out of use school in the town in #Donetsk region.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

I deleted this video from liberated #Lyman and now reposting because #Russia has just claimed it hit a base for #Ukraine fighters, presumably this school was it.

The Kremlin says "up to 100 foreign mercenaries" were destroyed including "about 40 from USA, UK and Poland."

#Russia indirectly admits hacking former British PM's phone.

Moscow spy chief Sergey Naryshkin told a TV programme an SMS from Liz Truss to Anthony Blinken saying "everything is done" referred to the #NordStream pipeline sabotage.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

This news is hardly a surprise, but even some pro-#Russia bloggers now say #Kherson will be conceded in "3-4 days"

The scenes from the admin building and removal of guard-posts indicated that, but #Ukraine has warned it could be a trap.

Kherson's the only major city 🇷🇺 gained.

It looks like another oil terminal in #Russia has been struck. This is in the district of Grayvoron bordering #Ukraine.

However Russians are saying it's a solvent tank alight in an industrial enterprise.

Make up your own minds😉
#StopRussia

Much of occupied #Kherson region has been without power all day and some residents also without water.

Now #Russia says #Ukraine's Resistance has caused the outages with an explosion on the Beryslav-Kakhovka road which damaged concrete supports of a high-voltage power line.

Remarkable video from occupied #Luhansk oblast.
So many people have died the cemeteries are full.

Now they resort to just burying "#Russia's heroes" at the side of the road.

The music by the way is "Everything's Going To Plan" by the late Yegor Letov.

Seen on TG UAonlii

A #Ukraine politician from #Kherson says there are fewer than 20,000 of #Russia's soldiers remaining on the right bank of the region.

By the way the right bank's the LEFT side of the map.

Confused? The left bank is left side of a river in direction it flows; in this case🧭N➡️S

How good is this street art?

In #Mykolaiv, Kolya Serhi made this mural near a playground, to show a boy escaping the war to reach back into his sunny childhood in the city.

#Nikolaev #Ukraine #RussiansGoHome

One news site in #Ukraine has been trying to collect details of all the brawling, killing and general problems with new recruits in #Russia's army.

24tv.ua/ru/mobilizacij…

Another of #Russia's so-called church has been killed in #Ukraine

"Archpriest" Mikhail Vasilev gloried in working at "the headquarters of the Strategic Missile Forces"
Russian Orthodox priests regularly bless missiles sent to kill civilians in #Ukraine & utter racist statements.

Confirmation that the statue of "Catherine the Great" in #Odesa is being dismantled.

This morning I reported on fencing which appeared around the legendary Russian leader. Now a sign has been put on the fence announcing the news.

#Ukraine #Odessa

Unverified video of another mobilised troop rebellion in #Russia.

Again, they complain they were not paid and started shouting abuse at the General in #Kazan.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia

Wow! That was quick!

I see this and think:

For the "2nd Army In The World" it's clearly getting hot and they're shi**ing themselves.

Cool time-lapse video from the historic Podil district of #Kyiv.

This is how the "Ghost of Kyiv" painting was created.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

More trouble for #Russia and worse, more public discontent and discussion at the insane losses.

Marines from the Pacific Fleet complained to the Governor of Primorye after suffering 100s of losses near #Pavlivka in #Donetsk oblast.

meduza.io/news/2022/11/0…

#Kherson is no longer subjected to Russian TV programmes!

Spokesman for #Ukraine's Southern Command, Vladislav Nazarov says the Kremlin's propaganda channels stopped being transmitted about a week ago after the previous wave of "evacuations".

#RussiansGoHome #KhersonIsUkraine

A little earlier this was posted on Tiktok allegedly showing #Russia's fearless army adding a children's train ride to the long list of goods stolen from #Kherson.
Maybe they need a faster getaway?

Many media are running this video but it is unverified.

#RussiaisATerroistState

Generally quiet so far tonight in #Ukraine, but just hearing reports of an explosions in #KryvyiRih. Not confirmed yet.
