9 months ago today #Russia decided to break international law and condemn hundreds of thousands to death, disability and destruction
It's Day 274 of the invasion of #Ukraine, and here's Thursday's daily thread with all the news
Yesterday's news is here:
When the elite becomes diluted...
#Russia's crack airborne units couldn't defend the right bank of #Kherson - will they fare better in #Donbas where #Ukraine cannot target supply lines as easily.
Here's the UK Intel report for Thursday:
#StopRussia
Early, unconfirmed, reports of a strike by #Russia in #Kherson
A rocket landed in the courtyard of one of the high-rise buildings in the city, but no reports of injuries.
#StandWithUkraine
The attack in #Kherson is known to have killed at least one person.
#Russia's rockets hit a residential building in the northern Tavriiskyi district of the city.
#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
The daily total of #Russia's losses shows an increase of over 10% in a single day for the number of Cruise Missiles shot down.
"only" 310 of #Putin's soldiers killed in the last 24 hours.
#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine
#Kyiv still does not have full power with many in the capital city and the wider region still without electricity.
Most of #Ukraine is back to the standard schedule of power outages and all the country's nuclear power plants will be back to normal by this evening says the govt.
#Russia watchers have long warned (ditto #China) about the country buying influence (or kompromat!) to be able to cash in later.
Is this another case and is @INTERPOL_HQ failing?
How can Russia get outrageous red notices issued yet those against blocked?
Some parents very unhappy in occupied #Sevastopol.
BEFORE #Russia's anti-LGBT+ law was passed, some schoolchildren were given this worksheet. It's entitled "Symbols of Tolerance"
The teacher may be sacked. There is zero tolerance under #Putin in the Terrorist State.
#Russia's new agencies report the illegitimate "president" of #Belarus, Lukashenko, demanding "Ukraine must stop the conflict, everything is now in its hands"
They're trying Uncle Sasha!
Just parts of #Zaporizhzhia, #Kherson #Donetsk to go plus 2 more regions to finish the job!
It's been revealed #Ukraine and #Russia had informal meetings in the #UAE last week according to Reuters
They discussed prisoner exchanges and the possibility of unblocking the export of Russian ammonia through a pipeline to Odessa.
The UAE was mediator, the UN was not involved
#RussiaOnFire
Another government building catches fire in #Russia.
This is in the northern #Arkhangelsk region.
The blaze broke out this morning in the local HQ in Laisky Dok.
The building was evacuated and no casualties reported.
Boris Johnson's been made an honorary citizen of #Kyiv
The #Ukraine capital's city council approved the decision today: Mayor @Vitaliy_Klychko said
"@BorisJohnson has repeatedly visited - both in peace and in the most dramatic time of our struggle against the Russian aggressor."
Earlier today #RussiaOnFire of a different kind...
A shooter killed 3 people, then himself, on the streets of Krymsk in #Krasnodar, near the Slavyansky shopping mall.
Russian media report the 66 year old killer knew 2 of his victims.
A controversial decision taken in #Ukraine today, which I think just gives more fuel to #Russia's propagandists.
The Mayor of #Kharkiv, Ihor Terekhov, was fined for speaking in Russian during a TV address.
In February @ZelenskyyUa spoke Russian in a broadcast but wasn't fined!
Today both the upper house of #Ireland's parliament and the parliament of #Moldova officially recognised the #Holodomor of #Ukraine as genocide.
Stalin deliberately starved around 5m Ukrainians in the 1930s.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
Another 50 prisoners on both sides were exchanged today.
There were 2 officers among those returning to #Ukraine. 19 of the liberated were defenders of #Mariupol, 12 of them surrendered at #Azovstal.
Another 7 soldiers were captured on the now famous Zmiiny or "Snake" Island.
Another collaborator is said to be seriously injured in #Zaporizhzhia region after #Ukraine's Resistance bombed his car.
Before the war Serhiy Kalashnyk was head of #Polohy council, then switched sides and RIA Melitopol reports that last night he paid the price.
#StopRussia
After banning "one love" armbands, #FIFA today permitted an African footballer to wear the flag of banned #Russia on his boots.
#Cameroon's Gael Ondua moved to Russia aged 9 and previously played for Anzhi Makhachkala. He said he "feels like a Cameroonian and a Russian"
I want to wish all my followers in the USA, and exiled Americans, a Happy Thanksgiving and say bon appétit for your big meal this evening.🇬🇧💙🇺🇸💛🇺🇦

Four people died.
Now 7 people have been killed by #Russia's shelling of #Kherson with a further 21 suffering injuries.
The attacks continue...
