Welcome to Day 143 of #PutinsWar.
This daily thread aims to tell you everything you need to know about developments of #Russia's illegal invasion of #Ukraine and the heroic defence to keep 🇺🇦 free.

DMs open for tip offs.. working as fast as I can!

#StandWithUkraine
Updates may be a little slower/less frequent today as I am driving to London for UK premiére of #Ukraine film #SlovoHouse in Leicester Sq

About artists suppressed under Stalin, it's very relevant now & headlines the closing gala at the @iwilltell festival
1/2
Tomorrow will be 8 years to the day since #Russia blasted passenger jet #MH17 out of the sky. 300 innocents died from numerous countries inc UK, but mainly Dutch; families going on holiday

The Kremlin came up with repeated versions of "what happened" each new story proving..
2/2
the previous version was a lie. All #Russia's versions of what happened to #MH17 were callous lies to deflect the fact it murdered 300

Certainly similarities this week in #Vinnytsia where over 20 civilians died, Russia so far came up with 3 versions

Y'day evening was horrendous with multiple #Ukraine cities attacked.
The worst was in #Dnipro - casualty figures have not been updated from last night's 3 dead, 15 injured.
A lot of photos/videos on y'day's thread, plus other attacks inc here #Kramatorsk

This morning, already a missile has hit #Odesa on #Ukraine's south coast.

Regional Head Serhiy Bratchuk says a warehouse was hit leading to this fire, but no casualties as everyone was inside air raid shelters.

#Odessa #StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Another town to be hit today is #Nikopol in south of #Ukraine, on the banks of the Dnipro/Dnieper river.

Kyiv says it has proof #Russia strikes Nikopol with rocket systems at the NUCLEAR POWER PLANT in #Enerhodar.

Two injured after grads hit 12 five-storey buildings and schools
The UK Intel report outlines how hard it is for #Russia to make further advances against a predominantly straight front line for the most at risk areas in #Donbas.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
Photo journalists from @suspilne_news have been back to the residential street in #Dnipro which was hit by a missile from #Russia yesterday evening.

It's thought two of the three who died were in vehicles
Still on the attack in #Dnipro some remarkable footage this morning showing how close the city came to avoiding the death and destruction, and how difficult it is to intercept #Russia's missiles.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
#Kharkiv region was another place to come under fire from #Russia last night, although it happens almost every night.

Here in #Chuhuiv (RU: #Chuguev), three people died and three more were hospitalised.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
As reported earlier in the thread, #Odesa came under fire this morning - I've now found a video taken shortly after the subsequent fires broke out.

#Odessa #StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Vinnytsia was hit a couple of days ago, #Russia responsible for 23 deaths.

A new video shows the devastation in the centre of the mid-west city.

In occupied #Donetsk they also report rocket attacks and at least one death.

This strike on an apartment block in the Petrovsky district of the city

#Donbas #Donbass #StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A bus was also damaged in #Donetsk in the same strike on the Petrovskyi area of the city.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
In the free part of #Ukraine 8 more civilians died in the last 24 hours, as detailed in this map from the #Kyiv government.

Numbers from occupied areas are not known. Similarly, the totals given on this graphic don't include the likely 10s of thousands of victims in #Mariupol
Also in the free part of #Donetsk, regional Head, Pavel Kirilenko published these photos from #Kostiantynivka (RU: #Konstantinovka)

He says “This morning, the occupiers destroyed houses in the private sector with rockets, attacked industrial facilities”

#StopRussia
They must be getting short of Cannon fodder... Oops I mean soldiers.

#Belarus #Russia #RussiaKillsCivilians

Thx @VelvetBlade for spotting this.

"Leave #Sumy" - that's the plea from mayor Oleksandr Lysenko.

"Avoid large gatherings of people and do not ignore the air alert. If there is an opportunity to leave the city, do it. Today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow you should pay a lot of attention to your safety."
A large column of Russian equipment was spotted in #Mariupol, heading towards #Zaporizhzhia.

Petro Andryushchenko, an adviser to the city, reported the movement of 100 units of military equipment.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
A 24th person has died as a result of the #Vinnytsia attack.

All rubble has now been cleared from the site of the explosion. Three people were rescued alive from the wreckage today. One person remains unaccounted for.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
I try to report both sides, but cut the crap and obvious fakes. To give you an idea of what #Russia is claiming, they say in the last 2 days they've killed 600 #Ukraine troops in the battle for #Seversk alone. Plus another 200 in #Mykolaiv/#Nikolaev

Fanciful figures!
A rocket has landed in #Cherkasy region of central #Ukraine.

No further details yet.
#Cherkassy #SaveUkraine #StopRussia
Occupied #Donetsk is still being struck, presumably by #Ukraine here. The colour of the smoke means a high probability of a military target.

This is in the Leninskyi part of the city, which has avoided moat of the missiles so far.

#SlavaUkraini #StandWithUkraine️
#Russia says the attack on #Dnipro last night destroyed "workshops for the production of components and the repair of "Tochka-U" and MLRS"

Seems they forgot to mention the missile that landed in a street killing civilians. Strange that!

#RussiaIsATerroristState
The UK premiere of "Slovo House" not far away. Red carpet being rolled out soon.
I'm in Leicester Square #London for the event at the @Iwilltell film festival and Q&A. We are filming for Ukraine news channels and hopefully a future documentary about the film

#StandWithUkraine️
#SlovoHouse, the award winning Ukrainian film is getting its British premiere right now. The last night of the @Iwilltell film festival in London is the "Peace Gala"
Director of #SlovoHouse Taras Tomenko says "this film was made before the full invasion, as a warning of what happened 100 years ago and may happen again, and it did happen again."

#StopRussia
The former Head of #Ukraine's Security Service in #Crimea has been arrested.

No details on charges or where he was detained, but it's clear Oleh Kilinich is considered a traitor.

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!
1/2
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)
