Day 128 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.

The illegal, insane, inhumane war which was Putin's choice.

More murder and war crimes today as the little man in the Kremlin orders revenge for the loss if Snake Island

All the news right here in one place, welcome to the daily thread
The revenge from #Russia for the anger at losing #SnakeIsland is an horrendous missile attack on residents in #Odesa/#Odessa region.

17 dead and 31 injured as rescuers work at the site.

Yet another war crime

#Putin loves symbolism and to leave calling cards.
It's no coincidence that he ordered the murderous strikes on an apartment block and two leisure complexes in #Odesa region with exactly the same delivery as #Kremenchuk - three X-22 missiles fired from Tu-22 strategic bombers.
3/
Now an 18th person has died in the cowardly attack by #Russia on the #Odesa region. Three children are among the dead, another is in a coma.

The main hits were in Belgorod-Dniester region of #Odessa. One missile destroyed a 9-storey residential building.

One more video from #Odesa region, south #Ukraine.
The resort village of #Serhiivka.

#Odessa #RussiaIsATerroristState
#StandWithUkraine
The British today confirming #Ukraine forced #Russia to leave #SnakeIsland.

The information about the oil refinery in #Lysychansk does seem to be a little outdated. Image
One more small boat was added to #Russia's list of war losses.

A small craft was lost during the last #Ukraine attack on Snake Island and the ensuing evacuation by the Kremlin's forces, along with a Ka-52 helicopter which I wrote about last night. Image
There were also rocket attacks in #Mykolaiv region overnight.

#Ukraine's authorities there claim #Russia used outlawed cluster munitions again yesterday, while fresh grads already arrived this morning.

This is a video of the scene of one strike on a business in #Nikolaev
Today, the #EU flag has symbolically been installed in #Ukraine's Parliament.

The President of the European Commission @vonderleyen spoke via video link to The Rada. President @ZelenskyyUa pledged to fulfill all requirements to allow🇺🇦 to move from candidate to full 🇪🇺 member
Haunting

This poster recalls being sent to summer kids' camps at #Serhiivka, in #Odesa region, where many died today.

"Instead of children's laughter and fun, just death and ruin... #Russia will take everything if you don't stop them."

#SaveUkraine

Another mass grave reportedly found in #Mariupol'

There is no hope now of ever knowing the real extent of the campaign of murder by #Russia's army in the southern port city. Crimes, like bodies, are hidden, burned.

#Donetsk Oblast. On the frontline at #Yasynuvata.

This is just east of #Avdiivka and only 10km or so north of Donetsk city itself.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
More on the last tweet. It seems certain to be a #Ukraine attack on occupied territory

A new video of the scene at #Yasynuvata nr #Donetsk. Rockets have hit railway infrastructure and warehouses, maybe ammo dump

In addition reports of a hit on an oil depot in #Rovenky, #Luhansk
#Turkey/#Turkiye has reportedly blocked access to two liberal western journalism sites.

It's claimed @dwnews and @VOANews are accused of broadcasting on the internet without a licence.
#Russia's Defence Ministry claims its troops are fighting in the centre of #Lysychansk now.

I already reported it looks like #Ukraine has had to give up the oil refinery; now Russians say they control the Matrosskaya mine and a gelatin plant.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Ukrainian Borshch has been included in the UNESCO cultural heritage list!

#Bulgaria's carried out a controlled explosion of a Soviet-era naval mine near its Black Sea coast.

There have been a few reports of mines floating in the Black Sea since the war began.

#Russia and #Ukraine accuse each other of planting them.
The death toll in #Odesa has risen to 20 after today's attack by #Russia.

Peskov says they don't attack civilian targets, just like he said the west was lying about Russian about to invade in February.

Before and after "Russian World" intervened today at this civilian retreat Image
WTF?
Not only does Putin not even hide it any more, the little man audaciously brags about his real intent (which I warned about all along)

If this is genuine, no country should admit any Russian passenger across its borders until all these are destroyed

#Russia's Foreign Ministry has just said "NATO starts an arms race"

It's unbelievable - having bragged about its new "Sarmat" nuclear capable missile which was tested in April, plus the Zircon from Submarine and the previous triumphant broadcasts of its new hypersonic weapons.
Often trolls write to me about Russia just supporting Donetsk's right to be free
Obviously it's baloney, Russia fomented trouble, while Putin brutally put down Chechnya's Independence bid.

Now no support for Karakalpakstan, huge demos, as it hopes to cede from 🇷🇺ally #Uzbekistan
US Ice Hockey team @NHLFlyers has lost its goal-tender.

Ivan Fedotov was trying to leave #Russia to start his new NHL contract in #Philadelphia when he was detained. Fedotov is suspected of evading the army and has been taken to the military registration and enlistment office.
* WARNING * Graphic video *

I cannot verify this, but it's said to show young victims of the #Odesa bombing.

In the early hours this morning #Russia attacked a resort in #Odessa, killing 20 and injuring many others.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
As I've been reporting for a while, #Russia has now confirmed appeals for have been submitted by at least one of the British POWs sentenced to death.

Lawyers for Shaun Pinner and Moroccan Brahim Saadoun have lodged appeals.

TASS reports Aiden Aslin has not yet appealed.
Time for #RussiaOnFire again...

A fire in the mayor's building at #Krasnoyarsk
All employees evacuated the building. Authorities say the blaze broke out in a technical room on the 6th floor.

Although this looks interesting, it doesn't look like obvious sabotage.

#SaveUkraine Image
And another one.. #RussiaOnFire

This was a large fire at a store in #Voronezh
There are few details

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
It seems #Russia are now attacking #SnakeIsland even though it's empty.

The question now is what secret information did they leave behind?

Boris Johnson has been made an honorary citizen of #Odesa

The British PM gets the Order of Hryhoriy Marazli for help during the war.

Hennadiy Trukhanov said if the entire world took the same position as the British, we would already have defeated Russia

suspilne.media/256270-premer-…
More much needed equipment will soon be heading to #Ukraine.

USA certainly stepping up to the plate after a slow start.

Welcome to another daily thread covering all the important things happening in Ukraine right now, and therefore by (unwanted association) Russia too.

All things fact checked, analysed and explained.
The news you can rely on, every day, in one place.

It's Day 1361. I'm late!⏰
Well I had a lovely lie-in as, all things considered it was a relatively news-free morning

My "bitter enders" (those who make it through to the very end of the🧵) will know there was a big attack on Dnipro which kept me reporting late.
Missed it? click⬇️
One thing I've had to do is wade through Trump's interview on GB News. It's actually been worthwhile because it's a wonderful example I can use to train what NOT to do!

Main points being:
1'48" to ask a question is dreadful
Such simpering loses all credibility before you begin

The first few hours of Day 1360 of Russia's genocidal war started with Ukrainians in shelters. More innocent lives have been claimed by the Moscow horde.

The west unable or unwilling to stop the slaughter despite 1000s of war crimes.
We're not incapable, must not be unwilling.
One of the heaviest bombardments Kyiv has ever known dominated y'day's thread and the start of today's.

But Ukraine also continues to pick-off financial targets inside Russia

It all made for one of the longest🧵 so far - the least you can do is read it!

I am not starting in Kyiv though, because this Friday morning has already seen more murder and another clear terrorist attack by Russia.

A UAV smashed into the town centre of Chornomorsk, another Black Sea port just south of Odesa

2 dead, 7 injured

Day 1359 of Europe's war.
Welcome to Thursday's daily🧵 with all the important news from Ukraine + Russia, without gratuitous gory bits.

Every single day, without a break for holiday or illness, I've been here using my 🇺🇦experience & sources to fact check everything. Let's Go!
Wednesday's thread saw evidence of:
Long-range strikes by Ukraine
Russia Collapsing
Ukraine tackling a major corruption scandal.

Catch up by clicking, scrolling, then coming back here for today's news!

It remained quiet overnight for most in Ukraine, but this morning at least six people have been injured in a Russian strike in Mykolaiv.

Three of the victims are in a 'serious' condition in hospital after the drone attack.

Hello again, thanks for visiting my Ukraine thread on Day 1353

Views/likes are down on both sites I post on: possible war fatigue

It's exactly what Putin wants from the world - to wear us down so we accept a deal to stop the killing
This will embolden Putin & hasten war v NATO
Here's the link for Thursday's thread.
It was a day which saw Ukraine inflict a fair amount of damage on Russia's energy sector and the crisis is nearing for Putin as it cannot export oil.

The energy crisis for Ukraine is about people surviving winter:
I'll start with the battle for Pokrovsk, as DeepState updated the map 40 mins ago.

Zero change in the lines since yesterday.
That's excellent for Ukraine but I fear the cost.

Of course things constantly change in the grey zone but no breakthrough.
Situation today vs a week ago Image

Welcome to November, which becomes the 46th different month to see fighting in Ukraine

And yet Russia is nowhere near its aim of Kyiv in 3 days.
Indeed 1,344 days behind schedule as we start today's thread on Day 1347 of the full invasion

Please think about sending a KoFi💙💛
Friday saw a lot of damage in Russia, an attempted counter-attack in Pokrovsk, Trump blank Orbán, power cuts in Moscow and so much more.

Clicking here⬇️will take you to the start of yesterday's🧵. Scroll through, catch-up then remember to come back here
Ukraine claims to have damaged a key Russian oil pipeline at Ramenskoe in Moscow region.

Their video shows all 3 (gasoline, diesel, aviation) fuel lines of the 400km Koltsevoy pipeline blown up.

The first pic shows guards patrolling, the second shows the explosives attached..

Hello again, on Day 1346 of the war.
Russia's genocidal war, that's both the intent and the reality as Ukraine fights to keep not only democracy, independence and freedom but also to avoid its culture and language being eradicated.

This is THE daily thread. Happy Hallowe'en
Due to various different events, I am still awake & instead of adding to y'day's thread, I thought it best to start a new one, then get some sleep.

First, the link for Thursday's🧵which started with Russia's mass missile attack but ended with🇺🇦 attacking
A quick reminder the first serious blow struck by Ukraine's long range weapons, came in Oryol.

A power plant was struck, though Russia told its people it was only drone debris (again)
