I'm starting a daily thread on #Russia's illegal war for the 200th time.

Yes, we made it to Day 200, but Putin's 4-day "special operation" to take #Kyiv and 10-days to control all of #Ukraine is going "according to plan"😉🤥

All the Ukraine news, all day every day right here⬇️
First, notice the date, 11 September or "9/11"
Please remember all the victims of that horrific day in the U.S.

Hopefully #Russia's terrorism is being beaten thanks to the heroes of #Ukraine, at the front, protecting a free country.
Saturday was amazing:

Last night Pres @ZelenskyyUa announced that two more villages in #Kharkiv had been liberated; #Vasylenkove and #Artemivka.

In truth it's just that #Ukraine's forces only just walked in there. Here's @TheStudyofWar's new map showing how much land is confirmed reclaimed in Kharkiv
While there are rumours of #Ukraine's army already fighting to reclaim #Donetsk airport, #Lysychansk + #Severodonetsk, I'm treating these as just rumours until I get confirmation

100% we do know🇺🇦 crossed the Siversky Donets river in #Donetsk and is fighting for #Lyman + #Yampil
A poerful missile struck the centre of #Dnipro city early this morning.

Officials say it landed in the residential area. A 72 year old man is seriously injured.

As well as private houses, shops, a market and administrative buildings were also damaged.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
In the wider #Dnipropetrovsk region the usual suspects of #Nikopol and #Marhanets were shelled again overnight.

Over 30 grad rockets were fired at the former, injuring 3 people.

Damage to 35 residential buildings, educational institutions, cars, gas pipelines & power lines.
As dawn broke in #Kherson oblast, fireworks were still spraying out in #NovaKakhovka.

Another Howitzer hit on a Russian arms dump - the "show" lasted well over 2 hours with ammunition constantly exploding.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
⚡️Breaking⚡️

The nuclear power plant at #Enerhodar is in a critical state again after more shelling.

The management agency says the #Zaporizhzhia plant is disconnected from the grid again. They must put it into "cold shutdown" for safety reasons.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
At least two missile strikes in occupied #Donetsk.
One man is reported to have died.

This is the scene of one of the hits.
#Dnbas #Ukraine
While #Ukraine has done amazingly well in the east of #Kharkiv there are reports of #Russia advancing in the north of the region.

Kozacha Lopan, just 3km from the Russian border, may well have been captured by the invaders along with Sosnivka a hamlet a little further west.
9 civilians wounded, four seriously, in #Mykolaiv (#Nikolaevwhen a missile landed in the city.

Residential buildings are damaged after one big missile landed in the courtyard.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #RussiansGoHome
Another big explosion in #Ukraine-held territory.

This is the lunchtime view of #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk) in #Donetsk region. Quite possibly another fuel dump.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
#Russia's losses today (according to #Ukraine sources) show higher than average numbers for tanks, aircraft, APVs, other vehicles, special equipment and personnel. Another 400 soldiers died for Putin's illegal war in the last 24 hours.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
Update on the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in occupied #Enerhodar.
Thankfully immediate fears have eased.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussiaNOW

#Russia has not returned children to #Ukraine who were due to be go home from "summer camp"

They claim it's too dangerous to return them to #Balakliia and #Izium so they stay in #Krasnodar "for a 2nd shift"

Now with no Russians remaining, parents are under pressure to move to🇷🇺

#Russia needs to deflect from the catastrophic capitulation in #Kharkiv & boost morale.
So this claim is to be treated with caution

🇷🇺says 250 #Ukraine soldiers, 12 APVs destroyed when Iskander missiles hit #Pokrovsk (RU: #Krasnoarmeysk) station during unloading.
2/2

The Head of #Pokrovsk (RU: #Krasnoarmeysk) Ruslan Trebushkin, made a video in the town.
He admits there were 5 cruise missile strikes, so although no sign of APVs, railway here, it is in theory possible they are not showing damage elsewhere.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A clutch more settlements in #Kharkiv region officially liberated from #Russia's occupation.

More missiles in #Mykolaiv region.

This in #Voznensensk where early reports say there were four injuries among civilians as this business was hit.

Neighbouring cities of #Sloviansk and #Kramatorsk have both been hit in attacks by #Russia this afternoon.

.. and a few kilometres away in #Sloviansk another apartment block has been shelled.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
#Russia's retreat from #Kherson?

Extraordinary claims on a usually reliable (pro-#Ukraine) Telegram channel in the occupied city.

Normally I'd dismiss it, but after yesterday, anything's possible!
Here's the translation

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
100%
💙💛These colours don't run!

Everything going to plan in the elections across #Russia!

Just in the last hour @Sota_Vision reports one candidate arrested. One official observer kidnapped and now another observer files a complaint after needing hospital treatment after people tried to stop her leaving her car
Just 3 km from the border with #Russia, the village of Hoptivka (RU: #Goptovka) is confirmed as free occupation.

All these places are just abandoned now, The north of #Kharkiv region, right up to the border is likely all #Ukraine controlled now.

#VseBudeUkraina #SlavaUkraini
#Ukraine's General Staff has just confirmed the "mighty" Russian army is now retreating from positions in #Kherson region.

Yesterday #Russia's occupation in #Kharkiv region collapsed.

No further details yet...

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Some of #Ukraine's heroes celebrate the liberation of #Izium with shouts of #SlavaUkraini and victorious gunfire into the air.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
#Ukraine under attack. much of #Kharkiv #Kramatorsk #Kremenchuk #Poltava and #Sumy all left without electricity after #Russia struck the thermal power plant in Kharkiv.

It's also reported there are power outages in #Russia's border city of #Belgorod.
Following on from the previous tweet, parts of #Odesa and #Dnipropetrovsk regions are also known to be without electricity.

It follows #Russia's missile strikes at the power station in #Kharkiv and power lines.
Video clip of a huge blast to hit #Voznesensk in #Mykolaiv region today.

It's about 50 miles/80km north-west from the city of #Mykolaiv/#Nikolaev.

This was is nowhere near over. Do not be complacent.
As daylight faded in #Donetsk a little earlier, there were more strikes in the occupied city.
This in the Kyivsky district.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Looks like #Russia may have hit the Thermal Power Plant in #Kremenchuk/#kremenchug as well as the strike on #Kharkiv.

This is just one of the cities currently sitting in darkness.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussiaNOW
Update:

In #Sumy, #Dnipropetrovsk and #Poltava regions of #Ukraine, electricity supplies have been restored,

Work is ongoing in #Kharkiv where the original shelling of the power plant happened.

The former Head of #Kharkiv's intelligence unit has been arrested on suspicion of treason.

3 months ago Roman Dudin was fired from his position with the SBU. More details of the accusations are expected tomorrow.

#Ukraine
First sight of the blaze at the power plant in #Kharkiv.

Russia's missiles earlier caused a loss of electricity in many regions.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Lviv airport hopes to be allowed to resume work shortly.

No flights in or out of #Ukraine have been permitted since #Russia's full invasion in February.
In #Zaporizhzhia a young mother tells her child "don't be scared" as missiles fall near their home.

#Russia has fired 5 rockets on the city.

Remind me, which side is the Nazis?

This Russian blogger has 188,000 followers

Earlier he wrote "It is not enough to return #Ukraine to the middle of the 19th century. These urchins need to be hammered into the stone age. It will be fair."
Satellite photos seem to reveal what looks like plenty of #Iran's equipment being used by #Russia to kill in #Ukraine.

#USA intel said it, Kremlin denied it, so we knew it was true.

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)

Russia will not stop until it's stopped.
The war ends the moment Russia leaves.
Russia lies repeatedly (we won't invade Ukraine, we didn't kill Litvinenko, didn't kill 300 on MH17, didn't use Novichok in the UK etc etc)

We MUST NOT trust Putin.

Day 1345. Here's my daily thread
It's proved a very difficult morning for Ukraine, especially in the west. Russia tried to ensure misery and destruction, hits everyone across Ukraine.

At dawn missiles rained down, the start of the overnight attack was covered at the end of yesterday's🧵
There has been another big attack on Ukraine's energy sector with DTEK saying thermal power plants in various regions were hit.

They say it's the 3rd massive attack on the company's TPPs in October.

Various missiles and drones were fired by Russia. Image

It's Day 1336 of Russia's full invasion, but that only started because the world didn't provide a deterrent almost 12 years ago when Putin first tested the west's response by invading Crimea

The west failed the test. Are we about to fail the biggest exam too?
It's Tim's daily🧵
There was a big drone attack on western Russia last night, with Rostov in particular feeling the heat

There was also plenty of heat again on Russia's largest gas facility, the Georgian 'government' doing Russia's fascist work, and an a tragedy in Kherson
Ukraine was subjected to 6 missiles and almost 100 attack drones overnight.

None of the 2 ballistics, or 4 S-300 missiles was shot down

Of 98 UAVs launched, 3 were still flying.
Of the remaining 95, just 58 were stopped = 61%

Russia's 37 drones and 6 missiles hit 10 locations Image

An explosive start to Day 1334 of Russia's 10-day operation to erase Ukraine from the map.

Not quite #EATP for Putin.
An early start to Sunday's thread as we have news from central and eastern Russia.

All the news, all the time, every damn day. Here we go again!
So much happened yesterday and the fireworks really started in the last couple of hours.

Do yourself a favour and have a quick skim through what you missed from Saturday's news about Ukraine's battle for survival. Incredibly only 14,000 views😳🫣

Two major hits by Ukraine this morning, way, way back, deep into Russia.

Those with me a few minutes ago will already know some of the details but we have a few more sights to show you, starting in Orenburg.

Here, locals say a gas plant has been hit by drones. Image
