Day 144 of #Russia's full scale invasion of its peaceful neighbour.

Updates throughout the day as stories unfold in #Ukraine and beyond.
First the British update shows #Russia concerned about #Ukraine's counter attack in the south
#Russia has still not taken total control of #Luhansk region despite the perception.

That's the point being made by #Ukraine's governor for the region. Serhiy Haidai says "two villages in Luhansk remain under 🇺🇦 control. Russians cannot overcome the few kilometres."

#StopRussia
Details have been given on the rocket attack on #Cherkasy.

Relatively few missiles have hit this central #Ukraine city, but yesterday evening, in the Chhyryn district of #Cherkassy Oblast, the govt says "an agricultural enterprise" was hit.

#StandWithUkraine️
Attack on #Zaporizhzhia. Several explosions reported in the city between 2-3pm.

Local officials say it was from Russian rocket launchers, but no reports of casualties and initial reports say no infrastructure was destroyed.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
In the new #USSR - sorry #Russia - ex President, Putin's poodle Dmitry Medvedev continues his campaign to replace his master.

The latest "strong words" from sleepy Dima came today when he claimed “NATO’s refusal to recognize Crimea as Russian could lead to a “direct attack”
Earlier another strike on #Chuhuiv in #Kharkiv region. (RU: ~Chuguev)

A deadly attack here the night before last but this time no major damage it seems.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
#Ukraine police in #Kharkiv have released pictures this afternoon of last night's shelling on the city.

The north-eastern city continues to receive heavy bombardment almost every day.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
#Ukraine claims a 19 year old conscript with the National Guard has shot down a 6th Russian jet.

The latest Su-25 was reportedly taken down with a MANPAD. 24 hours earlier the National Guard claim he's hit a cruise missile.

One of #Ukraine's well-connected media is reporting Russian-on-Russian shootout in #Zaporizhzhia region.

It's alleged ethnic Buryats and Chechens argued while drunk and there were wounded and dead after the fight in #Tokmak

#Zaporozhe #StopRussia

A few more shells peppering #Donetsk today.
This just to the south of the centre of the occupied city.

#StopRussiaNOW #StandWithUkraine
And recently in #Donetsk this has been posted online.

Seems like something hit the Budennovsky district of the city in #Donbas

#StopPutin #StopRussia #SaveUkraine
News of another British man being held captive in #Russia or its proxies.

John Harding was a combat medic with #Ukraine's National Guard, but Russian media is portraying him as a member of the Azov battalion, which they love to hate.

#StopRussia

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-621951…
Contract soldiers from the Republic of #Buryatia in #Russia have revealed how they were locked up in #Luhansk with just one meal a day after refusing to fight on the frontline.

zona.media/news/2022/07/1…
In its evening update, #Ukraine's General Staff claims it's again pushed back attempted surges by #Russia's forces in #Donetsk.

They say Russia was repulsed in #Sloviansk & #Bakhmut and that losses were inflicted on the enemy, but this cannot be verified

facebook.com/GeneralStaff.u…
If you steal a phone in a war zone, never a good idea to take selfies at a murder + war-crime scene.

But that's just what one of #Russia's horde did in #Ukraine. The 20yo deleted the photos but files were restored and the soldier's now been identified

slidstvo.info/news/znajshly-…
The "Day of Metalworkers" was celebrated in #Mariupol today.
The occupying Russians put on free concerts with impressive crowds (not known if Russians were bused in from #Crimea)
The last photo shows an orchestra playing in front of the Palace of Metalworkers, destroyed by Russia
Sometimes I think #Russia can't really be this stupid, then I see something else which reminds me they can be!

More controversy in #Ukraine politics this evening with the dismissal of two more high profile figures by President @ZelenskyyUa

The big surprise is the sacking of @VenediktovaIV as Prosecutor General. She's replaced by her Deputy, Oleksiy Symonenko. No reason was given.
2/2
... More predictable is the sacking of Ivan Bakanov as Head of #Ukraine's Security Service.

It was rumoured Zelenskyy was unhappy with a reported series of failed operations and poor results in #Kherson

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
As I mentioned yesterday - spare a though today for the victims, and families of victims, of the #MH17 massacre.

On 17 July 2014 the Malaysian Airlines passenger jet was shot down by #Russia over the occupied part of #Ukraine.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Reasons have now been given by #Ukraine's President on why he's sacked the Prosecutor General @VenediktovaIV.

Translation⬇️
Many questions arise:
Are all these since 24 Feb?
Venediktova was in office 23 months before the war - enough time to root out & sack the 60 traitors?
Heartening scenes in #Mykolaiv today when the people of #Odesa brought 7 tonnes of humanitarian aid to their fellow Ukrainians

600 #Nikolaev residents each received packages of food/water/medicines

As aid was handed out, a small open-air concert was held.

Head of #Odesa region, Serhiy Bratchuk, reports more strikes on Russian bases with HIMARS

He claims hits were successful on Lazurne in #Kherson oblast and #Alchevsk & #Kadiivka (RU: #Stakhanov) in #Luhansk region

Video from Alchevsk on Luhansktoday TG channel

#StandWithUkraine
Force diplomacy?
So if🇷🇺occupies Wales and all of SW England, we should stop fighting & say ok, give back English counties and you keep Wales?
You clearly do not learn from history.
Do you realise you are shilling for Putin?
To save lives, force Russia out
What's the time? Could it be #Chornobaivka time again? (see next Tweet)

#Chernobaevka #Чернобаевка #ХерсонцеУкраїна
Something is burning in #Chornobaivka, in #Kherson region. A lot of air defence activity by the look of it.

#StandWithUkraine
#Chernobaevka #Чернобаевка #ХерсонцеУкраїна
Head of #Kursk region in #Russia reports clashes on the border with #Sumy

"Our military began to carry out a 'special military operation' combat mission on the border in Glushkovsky district"

Meanwhile a sawmill mysteriously caught fire in Kursk - Russians say it's unconnected!
Disappointing new for #Chornobaivka fans!

Local chat sites say it looks like a rocket was shot down by air defence. Fragments have set fire to a field in the area.

Unconfirmed reports of more HIMARS strikes on #Kadiivka (RU: Stakhanov) again tonight.

Supposedly someone in the #Luhansk so called government has confirmed 2 missiles have landed in the town.

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
