Saturday 12 November. Day 262 of the illegal war #Russia is waging on #Ukraine
This is the daily thread with all the news of the conflict
Quite a day yesterday, full of amazing emotions and joyous scenes. If you missed it, just take a scroll through here:
⚡️Breaking⚡️
#Russia's (estimated) war dead today tops 80,000
Just two weeks ago today the total reached 70k.
The daily mean Russian deaths since then has been 711.
Today all the first four categories are above average
#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
the #UK's Defence Minister @BWallaceMP has a message for #Russia and its people after yesterday's liberation of #Kherson and the whole region east of the River Dnipro.
The emotional de-occupation of #Kherson is just the start of a new chapter and some difficult decisions now need to be taken.
#Ukraine says it fears a big missile attack during the G20 summit next week. While places like #Mariupol and #Crimea now in range for Ukraine's artillery
A better video has emerged of the destruction of the #Antonivskyi bridge in #Kherson.
CCTV shows the moment of the enormous blast which finally brought down a section of the main route across the river Dnipro
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A wonderful video to celebrate the release of #Kherson, from #Ukraine's Defence Ministry.
#Hallelujah! #SlavaUkraini
No bridge? No problem for #Ukraine.
Seen in #Kherson region.

Interesting. #Sweden spy scandal.
Just weeks after the #Norway drones stories, a far more serious espionage case emerges in its neighbour:
#StopRussia
Apologies. Earlier I posted video of damage to a bridge in #Kherson. It was of course not the #Antonivskyi but the the bridge over the #NovaKakhovka dam.
Any bridges in the region, even if already damaged by #Ukraine shelling, were brought down when #Russia fled.
Refugees from #Kherson have been celebrating all over the world - from near and far.
I know people who immediately moved to #Odesa, not that far away. This morning many gathered outside the world famous opera house in the port city.
#Odessa #SlavaUkraini
Now searching to see if this is translated into English, and if not why not!
@AngryFil's post pointed me to this historic book and highly recommends it.
Paying tribute to #Ukraine's army. The people of #Kherson say thanks for liberating their city.
#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
Early this morning @alexrossiSKY was engulfed by well-wishers as he accompanied a #Ukraine army crew into #Kherson.
This is near #Chornobaivka and the legendary airport!
A mix of Ukrainian and Russian being spoken.
#Chernobaevka #SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
I have good news - the stuff we bought with your donations crossed the border from Poland to #Ukraine late last night.
Hopefully it will arrive at the front line tomorrow.
You can see how much clothing etc. we got - the document is the border/customs document.
More gifts left behind by #Russia when they evacuated #Kherson oblast.
The Sun's journalists were shown this warehouse in #Blahodatne (RU: #Blagodatnoe) in the north of the territory, near the regional border with #Mykolaiv.
#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
Yet more good news claimed by #Ukraine.
The exiled Governor of #Luhansk oblast tells the national TV show that they have reclaimed 11 more settlements.
Here's the translation of his subsequent post:
#SlavaUkraini #Lugansk
The good people of #Kherson have just escaped #Russia and its curfew, but after one night of celebration they are straight back in to another curfew.
#Ukraine has imposed a 5pm to 8am restriction amid fears some Russians were left behind and changed into civilian clothes.
Tissues at the ready...
#SlavaUkraini #Kherson
This is the Antonivskyi Bridge in #Kherson, as seen from a drone.
Liberating the rest of the region will be extremely difficult.
#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
The first videos from abandoned #Chornobaivka reveal some of #Russia's ruined equipment from the 40 or so hits on the airport in north #Kherson.
#Chernobaevka #SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
There are reports tonight of explosions around #Chaplynka in the south of #Kherson near to #Crimea.
It's believed a lot of #Russia's equipment in the region was moved south to Chaplynka, especially the airport there.
Well, we need a "new" Chornobaivka😅
