Day 146 of #Russia's war of choice.
You've found the start of the daily thread with the most important news from #Ukraine.

Today, an update from #Odesa, a new hit on Russian forces in #Kherson region and another chapter of #RussiaOnFire.

Read on...

#StandWithUkraine
First, another video from #NovayaKakhovka.

The occupied city in #Kherson oblast has been targeted of late by #Ukraine's long range precision MLRS

#StopRussia
Last night I was reporting the attack on #Odesa.

Head of #Odessa has confirmed 6 injuries, including a child.
7 Cruise missiles were fired by #Russia. One shot down, the others hit a village where 3 houses were destroyed while a school, cultural centre and cars were damaged
#RussiaOnFire

Another mysterious blaze in the far east of #Russia.

Here warehouses burn in #Anadyr in #Chukotka

No injuries reported
Britain's MOD experts highlight just how under strength #Russia now is in its bid to conquer all of #Ukraine.

It increasingly looks like the Kremlin may have to choose between #Donetsk or #Kherson

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
A major bridge in occupied #Kherson has been hit by #Ukraine's armed forces.

The #Antonivskyy (RU: Antonovskiy) spans the Dnipro river and is the shortest route for the occupiers to reach the city from #Crimea.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
As well as hitting the big bridge in #Kherson, it's thought #Ukraine struck again near the #Chornobaivka airfield. Smoke was seen rising in the area.

#Russia says all but one missiles were shot down, so it's possible this was debris as rockets went overhead.
At least one civilian has been killed as rockets rained down on central #Kramatorsk this lunchtime.

Nearby #Sloviansk is also reported to have been hit

This is #Kramatorsk

#Donetsk #Donbas #SaveUkraine #StopRussia
#Sloviansk seems to have received more than one grad from across the frontline.

Here's how the skyline looks right now in the city in #Donetsk oblast.

#StandWithUkraine #StopPutinsWar
#Kramatorsk again - photos from the scene of the explosion where a rocket looks to have hit residential buildings in the centre.

New video from #Sloviansk - no details on the damage there yet.

#SaveUkraine #StopPutinsWar
Just had an update from Head of #Sloviansk.

Vadim Lyakh confirms there are wounded, "private houses were damaged. People are under the rubble."

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Another 45 bodies of fallen soldiers have been returned to #Ukraine in an exchange.

It's likely around 500 have now been repatriated from behind enemy lines.
Over 10,000 Ukrainians are being detained in #Mariupol

That's what #Ukraine's mayor Vadym Boychenko told a news briefing. "There are filtration centres in the city and just outside. All four were working all this time. And, unfortunately, they captured more than 10,000 locals."
No date on this, but #Ukraine's released a video of its National Guard "Special Unit" along with paratroopers, destroying a group of Russian soldiers near #Sloviansk .

#StandWithUkraine️ #StopRussia

Meanwhile in its evening summary, #Ukraine's General staff reports inflicting more "heavy losses" on #Russia's forces in Donetsk region , but this cannot be verified.

Ukraine says the invaders paid for failed offensives in Hryhorivka, Spirnyi and Ivano-Daryivka.
#Putin has been meeting #Erdogan in Iran - ostensibly to talk about release of grain from #Ukraine ports.

Russia has already been stealing and exporting grain, via Turkey, from the occupied regions of Ukraine.
#Russia announces it has captured the village of #Staromaiorske in #Donetsk.

It's quite near the state borders with #Zaporizhzhia and #Dnipropetrovsk.
I cannot verify the claim.
Severe damage to a residential block in #Siversk in #Donetsk region.

Smoke and fire still billow out of upper storey windows.

#StandWithUkraine
It's now known that two people died after the shelling of residential apartments in #Sloviansk earlier.

The Russian attack destroyed a building and two bodies were discovered under the rubble.

#China has at times seemed to try to stay "neutral" i.e. not offend #Russia or #Ukraine, but finally what many suspected as the country's FM comes down firmly on the side of the aggressor, Putin.

As always one has to wonder at what China wants with such statements...
2/2

#China's FM spokesman Zhao Lijian:
“On #Ukraine, China takes an objective + fair position and stands on the side of peace & justice. The US is the main cause of the crisis in Ukraine & should therefore deeply reflect on its erroneous actions + stop creating a new cold war.”
#Ukraine reports downing a Russian fighter jet.

It follows clashes near #NovayaKakhovka this evening. An anti aircraft missile hit the jet.

This information is not yet verified.
More weapons, including HIMARS, coming to #Ukraine from the U.S. soon said Pentagon spokesman John Kirby.

He also confirmed they believe #Russia is "laying the groundwork for the annexation of Ukrainian territory, to install illegitimate proxy officials in occupied areas."
In occupied #Horlivka (#Donetsk region) it looks, and sounds, like Russian air defence is working

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Now a video believed to show the smouldering wreckage of #Russia's jet which was shot down today in #Kherson oblast.

And here's the spectacular moment the Russian plane fell to the ground.

#Kherson #Ukraine #SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
No photos or videos (yet), but apparently #Russia fired on #Odesa (RU: #Odessa) again this evening.

The regional admin says the only sign was a small fire in a warehouse which was quickly extinguished.

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)
