Welcome to Sunday's thread on #Russia's war in #Ukraine. We've reached Day 193 of the full-scale invasion.
Quite a lot happened yesterday. Tragedy in #Chernihiv and late night attacks on different regions. If you want a recap, scroll through⬇️

Putin's bots, trolls and useful idiots are pushing hard to encourage 'Joe Public' the price of the war is too high, let's reach a day with #Russia.
One bright spot is the quite dramatic fall in gas prices (this graph for futures market) in the last week.

#Russia's decision y'day to send gas through the Nord-Stream pipeline after all, eases things a little more.
The Kremlin needs the cash to finance the war, so has to sell, but knows it can cut off western supplies at any point with winter approaching.

If we don't see this through & let Putin get a settlement he wants, then we repeat exactly what we did in 2008 #Georgia war & the 2014 #Ukraine invasion.
Allow #Russia to regroup, strengthen defence, then launch a bigger attack, with far worse, catastrophic consequences than now

#Ukraine is making ground in the south - even confirmed by some pro-Russian accounts
Villages like #Blahodativka (RU: #Blagodatovka) have been reclaimed with a push towards #Shchaslyve
But casualties are very high.
🇺🇦 Adviser @arestovych last night acknowledged tough news ahead

In #Kherson so far tonight it's been a little quieter than of late. There was a report of explosions in #Chkalove earlier but still unconfirmed.
Quite a few Russian planes have been in the skies, perhaps limiting progress for #Ukraine's front line.

#Russia has fired on #Mykolaiv tonight, with two missiles landing.
You can judge the size of one blast in this CCTV footage of the moment of impact. Electricity has been cut in some areas.

Only just seen this clever video/meme.
Very funny from @saintjavelin
Would be great to get a retweet from @SimonCowell for his 11m followers, but I reckon he's too safe. Prove me wrong Simon!

A new video shows shelling by #Russia from beside the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in #Enerhodar.
@the_ins_ru agrees with me that the Occupiers are deliberately trying to hit power lines to disconnect the plant from the #Ukraine power grid.

A pro-#Russia website ran an online "referendum" on the status of #Kharkiv.
Yesterday when very few patriots knew about the site, 65% still "voted" to remain part of #Ukraine.
Today it was over 96%
Strangely the page is now deleted😂😂🤡

Several thousands of tonnes of grain have been ruined in #Mykolaiv (#Nikolaev) region this morning.
Deputy Mayor of #Ochakiv Oleksiy Vaskov stood beside the wreckage as he told on Facebook how Russians hit the settlement in the early hours.

A TV personality in #Russia faces up to 5 years in jail for a parody song/video.
A politician has accused Aleksandr Gudkov of "inciting hatred or enmity, as well as humiliation of human dignity."
Make up your own minds. Here's a clip of the original song "Ya Russkiy"

The joke works best in Russian language of course.
"Ya Russkiy", sure you guessed means "I'm Russian"
Gudkov changed that to "Ya uzkiy" meaning "I'm narrow" and altered the video a little too in his own version, which has angered a lunatic fringe of humourless nationalists.

#Ukraine claims to have liberated the village of Ozerne in #Donetsk region.
The settlement is just 10km south of #Lyman which Russians captured long ago.
If confirmed it makes the invaders' hopes of capturing nearby #Sloviansk and #Kramatorsk even more remote.

A Human Rights' group has collected witness statements that people queueing to pay final respects to #Gorbachev, were arrested for such crimes as wearing an anti-war badge or criticising police.

Among all the #Ukraine hits in occupied #Kherson, just noticed one thing hidden away in the military reports which I missed this morning.
We already knew all the main bridges in the region were disabled. It appears UA forces also hit the ferry station in #Beryslav (to #Kakhovka)

Earlier today the #Antonivskyi bridge received its now traditional greeting from #Ukraine's forces!
Difficult to say for sure but looks like an effort to ensure the pontoon bridge underneath the road bridge won't get near completion.

Lots of photos like this appearing on #Ukraine channels today. To be fair, there are always similar pics of Ukrainian prisoners of war posted by pro-#Russia accounts, but there is a real increase in 🇷🇺 POWs the last 48 hours by the look of things.

At least two people have died in multiple explosions in occupied #Snihurivka (RU: #Snigirevka) in #Mykolaiv oblast.
Early reports said a father and his 4 year old son were killed as locals spoke of "around 10 explosions", some near a playground.
No photos/video yet.

In #Donetsk oblast, a strike in #Trudivske (RU: Trudovsky) this evening.
The town is midway between Donetsk and #Mariupol and has mostly avoided the shells so far in the war.

A couple of hours ago I wrote about a #Ukraine strike on #Balakliya in #Kharkiv region.
Now a video said to be of the scene. It's unverified, so I post with caution, but the time stamp checks out and I can't find this having been posted before.

Another Russian "warehouse" is blazing in #Kherson region.
It seems certain a #Ukraine missile has hit the building in #TomynaBalka. That's about 25km from Kherson city, in the south-west of the oblast.

New satellite photos taken today show #Russia has manged to complete construction of a pontoon bridge in #Kherson region.
But it's NOT across the #Dnipro as some are reporting. It's across a tributary to the main river, near Korsunka, on the south bank and doesn't help much.

Late this afternoon in #Crimea, another huge column of military equipment was seen on the move.
The destination of this train unknown, but almost certainly will be in mainland #Ukraine tomorrow morning.
How old and reliable the gear is remains to be seen.

The nightly attack on #Kharkiv region starts again, although to be honest it's just as likely in daylight in recent weeks.
Missiles have fallen in the small town of #Zmiiv, about 40km south of Kharkiv itself.

It's too early to roll out the meme yet.... but this #Kherson channel thinks there's another strike on #Chornobaivka (RU: #Chernobaevka)
Let's wait for more...

Quite a night it's turning out to be for #Ukraine's offensive.
Each strike = fewer weapons and ammo for the invaders to defend themselves with.
What must be really unnerving for #Russia's army is the Intel Ukraine must have. Sure some from satellites but they must fear traitors

Good article here by @Andrew__Roth on #Russia's persecution of another journalist who faces an outrageously long jail sentence tomorrow for doing his job.
@isafronov's father, also a journalist, died when falling out of a window.
