Here we go then. For the 134th time, I welcome you to the daily thread covering all the news and developments from #Russia's war of choice and invasion of its peaceful neighbour #Ukraine.

Updated in real time throughout the day, read on!

#StandWithUkraine
The British intelligence update today is interesting.

#Russia continues "mobilisation by stealth" as detailed here.
In some regions quotas are given and residents are strongly urged to "volunteer"

#SaveUkraine
Overnight another example of #Russia's "precision" weapons doing some aerial gymnastics in #Belgorod region and something far from precise 🤣🤣
Some surprising news in the #Ukraine morning Defence briefing. They claim they are still fighting in #Luhansk and have not lost the entire region yet.

It was thought other villages fell quickly after #Lysychansk last week.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Meanwhile the #Ukraine 🇺🇦 finally has been raised on #SnakeIsland

#Russia's army was forced off the piece of land in the Black Sea a week ago by increased Ukrainian attacks, mainly from Caesar Howitzers

Now first photos released by the Government of the flags hoisted again
Let's take a look at the latest #Ukraine claims of total Russian losses in the war.

I understand #Russia has been rotating its troops this week so fewer offensives in some regions, probably a reason why increases have been less of late.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
The loss of #SnakeIsland clearly hurts #Putin and his fellow war criminals.

#Russia fired missiles at the island at dawn today along with a couple of strikes at farms in #Odesa region.

Officials say no one was injured but 35 tonnes of grain was destroyed

#SaveUkraine
#Donetsk oblast has seen missiles rain down on both sides of the frontline this week.

#Ukraine's Regional Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko says Russian fire killed 7 civilians yesterday. Three in #Toretsk, 2 in #Avdiivka, and one in the villages of #Kodem and #Siversk.
There is clear worry in #Ukraine over the news about Boris Johnson. No need. All candidates will be strong on #Russia, especially if Defence Min. Ben Wallace, or my choice @TomTugendhat wins the election.

Meanwhile ex-Ukr ambassador to Austria sums it up

Not Groundhog Day!

Occupied #Donetsk burns again, and again the KAMAZ Centre in the city looks to have been hit.

#Donbas #Donbass #Ukraine #StandWithUkraine
More parts of #Donetsk region being hit by rockets today.

This is #Ilovaisk - scene of the infamous massacre when #Russia slaughtered unarmed #Ukraine soldiers given a "humanitarian corridor"

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
And yet more hits from, presumably Ukraine, artillery in #Donetsk region.

This smoke was seen rising in #Petrovskyi, a satellite town, just south-west of the city of Donetsk itself. It is currently occupied by #Russia.

#StandWithUkraine️ #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Donetsk authorities are claiming a 30 year old woman died in the shelling of #Petrovskyi (see last tweet).

Another area under attack is #Kuibyshevskyi district in the western part of the city of Donetsk.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
18 people were wounded in artillery missiles attacks #Mykolaiv region yesterday.

Head of the Regional Council Hanna Zamazeyeva confirmed the details this morning, saying the injuries and shelling happened in #Bashtanskyi and #Nikolaev itself.

#StandWithUkraine
A pro-Russian Telegram channel has helpfully published before and after shots of the #KAMAZ centre in #Donetsk. Sadly low res satellite pics, but the damage is still clear.

The buildings have been pounded, presumably by HIMARS, over the last 48 hours.

#SlavaUkraini #StopPutin
Anger in #Ukraine as #Turkiye releases a Russian ship likely loaded with stolen grain

🇺🇦summons the 🇹🇷ambassador, saying "We regret the 🇷🇺 ship Zhibek Zholy, loaded with stolen Ukrainian grain, left the port of Karasu, despite evidence of the criminal case being presented to 🇹🇷"
Earlier I reported on the #Ukraine flag being raised on #SnakeIsland (#Zmiinyi)

Now news that Special Forces while there confirmed the destruction of "about 30 units of enemy equipment and abandoned ammunition"

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
Touching photos from #Irpin - scene of so much murder and devastation in the first weeks of #Russia's war of choice.

Now kids from Olymp are back training on the town's football field, but it's still marked with bullet holes and craters

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
The #Ukraine held frontline city of #Kramatorsk has been hit. The mayor has confirmed civilian casualties and urged people to stay in shelters.

#StopRussia
#Kramatorsk was hit by aircraft attacks.

Now #Sloviansk is under attack from MLRSs.
Lesnoy and Slavkurort districts both hit reportedly and there are injured according to Mayor Vadim Lyakh said.

#SaveUkraine
UPDATE #Kramatorsk

Awful pictures coming in now after the aircraft attack on the city in #Donetsk. Form the look of this it does seem there has been at least one fatality.

Video to follow in next tweet...

#Donbas #Ukraine #Donbass
#Kramatorsk which was hit by #Russia's Air Force this lunchtime.

At least one feared dead, others injured.

The city is in the free part of #Donetsk oblast, but now almost right on the frontline.

#StandWithUkraine
Now a short video from #Sloviansk which was shelled by MLRS fire from #Russia this morning.

No reports of death here yet, but there are wounded.

#SaveUkraine

The #Ukraine head of #Luhansk alleges anyone with pro-Ukrainian views is being shot on the streets in the town of #Kremennaya.

Serhiy Haidai said on TV that local collaborators are identifying patriots and giving their addresses to the invaders from #Russia (or #Chechnya)
Bombs, missiles, rockets, death in #Ukraine.
Top story on all media right now - UK loses Boris!
Too many missiles/artillery hits to keep up with in #Donetsk oblast.

#Debaltseve and #Mayaky the latest towns to be hit. This photo from the latter.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Meanwhile at the #KAMAZ centre in central #Donetsk the show goes on.... that smoke is getting even darker and thicker again it seems.

#SlavaUkraini #Donbas #Ukraine
Just in - #Debaltseve video.

A good and precise hit on some type of armoured vehicle by the look of it. Some explosions there.

#Donbass #Donetsk #Ukraine
A propaganda film crew from #Russia came under fire on the frontline.

I've edited out the anti-Ukraine rubbish and left the pictures.

This happened in #Brusivka, less than 10km NE of #Sloviansk

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
This is reportedly in #Avdiivka right now.
* Unverified *

#Donetsk oblast, #Donbas, #Ukraine
Tributes are flooding in from #Ukraine for @BorisJohnson

He's still Prime Minister of the #UK for now, until a new leader is elected.

Here is Presidential Adviser Mikhail Podolyak

#Kramatorsk again

Video from the site of the bombing raid by #Russia's Air Force. Must have been big munitions here.

This is why #Ukraine still needs air defence (preferably fighter jets) to protect its land, its people, its freedom.
#Russia is literally jubilant at the demise of Boris Johnson.

However there will be no change in foreign policy. The UK is united behind #Ukraine, whoever the next PM will be.

However we should also reflect, even when Putin leaves/dies it's unlikely Kremlin policy changes.
Right now the Kremlin is once again pushing the #Ukraine/#USA/#Germany illegal biological weapons/experiments line. Obviously no tangible evidence.

The question in my mind, why suddenly do they try to shift focus again, especially with events in London. Bad losses? Rebellions?
Oh, speak of the devil - here's the "evidence" from the devil, sorry #Russia

During the war "we found documents" showing #Ukraine was studying Ebola, "yet they've never had a case there. So why would they study it?"

I'm not saying #Russia is desperately short of reserves, but credible reports they are now

1) releasing prisoners to serve with the Wagner private military company
2) offering free education for errr... "volunteers" in Donetsk
3) Forcing locals in newly occupied areas to sign up
#Putin today said that #Russia “has not yet started anything in earnest in Ukraine.”

“We do not refuse peace negotiations, but those who refuse should know that further along the more difficult it will be to negotiate. They want to defeat us on the battlefield - let them try.”
It's now known one person died and two others were injured in #Adviivka.

Earlier I showed a photo of a large building completely ablaze after being hit by some sort of munition.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Ukraine looks to have struck another blow at an oil depot in occupied #Donetsk. This was also hit in yesterday's bombardment.

The smoke is thick across the city this evening, visible from everywhere.

#StandWithUkraine #SaveUkraine #Donbass
Following on from the last tweet, here's a wider view of the oil fire in Kirovskyi district of #Donetsk.

The occupants are feeling a little hot this evening.
#SlavaUkraini #StopPutin
#Kharkiv: 3 civilians were killed and 5 injured in rocket attacks on a residential district in the city today.

This is a video of where it happened. If you want to see the remains of one victim (which I won't post), check out @SarahAshtonLV's page

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Russia appears to be targeting #Ukraine's crops.
Yet another example of history-loving Putin trying to recreate #Holodomor

The original FB post is below, from a soldier, Ihor Lutsenko. It may not look real but it was not on the internet previously

This evening a first dispute between #Ukraine and one of its closest allies, #Canada.

This Ukrainian newsdesk reports Ottawa intends, to approve a request from Germany for an exception to the sanctions, to supply turbines for the Nord Stream gas pipeline

Tuesday 19 November 2024.
I can't quite believe we reached 1,000 days.
#Ukraine is still free, refusing to buckle to the imperialist #Russia

I'm incredibly proud to have documented every single moment, no days off, no holiday, no sickness.

UkrainaOnline encapsulated 1000 days
If you like what I do, if you've never done it before, please consider buying me a coffee on this milestone day. It took a hell of a lot of work.

Thank you to my #TeamTim

Today is Day 999 of Europe's war

It's cold in the UK today. Imagine if you didn't have heat. Not just for one day, but maybe for most of the winter Now imagine it's 10 degrees colder

If you can do that you understand what people in #Ukraine feel, or fear.
Welcome to my daily🧵
Monday and Tuesday are days of mourning in #Sumy region after an horrific attack on an apartment block.

It was the last in a long line of murders of civilians by #Russia on Sunday.

I produced the longest thread for months (over 60 posts) - catch up here
Let me start today's news in #Sumy, because sadly the number of killed + injured after #Russia's strike have both increased.

An 11th person died during the night while 89 people required medical treatment. Medics, rescuers, psychologists and volunteers worked through the night.

Day 998 of #Russia's all out war, and Sunday 17 Nov is the day #Moscow's war criminals chose for the big missile attack on #Ukraine

It's such a difficult time for anyone associated with Ukraine. With the election of Musk/Trump, Putin's convinced terrorism will win.
Here's the🧵
Before I forget, here's the link for yesterday's thread. I know many of you like to catch up on what you've missed in #Ukraine and stories connected to the war.

#Ukraine's FM takes a swipe at #Germany's Chancellor Scholz while declaring this one of the largest air attacks.

From #Chernihiv in the north, to #Odesa in the south.
#Kharkiv in the east to #Lviv in the west. #Russia hits them all.

Hello and welcome to Day 996 of #Russia's barbaric war.

Putin's band of war criminals is throwing everything at #Ukraine's defenders for 2 months as the Kremlin is certain tRUmp will force negotiations and wants to be in the strongest position possible.

Here's the daily thread
#Russia is literally teetering on the edge of economic meltdown. If the west does not take this opportunity to ensure justice, protect borders and prosecute war criminals, historians will look back and shake their heads. They may also ask why do anything in the previous 3 years?
Anyway, let's get on with the stories of the day, although we start as ever with the link back to Thursday's thread.

It was a day which saw more problems for #Russia, more war crimes with a civilian shot dead on the street and a terrible attack on #Odesa

Very near 1000 days of war in Europe, but also we should remember that #Ukraine's allies were pretty happy to let the first invasion by #Russia in 2014 go unchecked.

Weakness, appeasement or shady deals for cash only store up and multiply problems.

Here my daily🧵on Day 995
First thing first, the link for the start of yesterday's thread.

Plenty of evidence of #Russia's pending economic collapse, especially masses of airlines. Plus rioting absconders in Russia and assassination of one of their war criminals. All in here⬇️

100% for air defence overnight

Even though it was quieter than in recent days, and air raid warnings were much shorter, #Russia still fired 59 kamikaze drones at #Ukraine

21 were shot down, 38 stopped by EW.
It seems #Belarus wasn't attacked this time by its friendly neighbour Image
