The fundraising to help #Ukraine's army with specific items for winter stands at £900 / €1000 after 2 days which is amazing - please see the pinned tweet if you can help!

In #Kramatorsk a hotel was destroyed by shelling.
#Russians will doubtless claim it was housing #Ukraine soldiers, no way to prove either way in the fog of war, but there are no reported civilian casualties in the city near the frontline in #Donetsk region.

Purely civilian infrastructure being targeted by #Russia in what amounts to a giant fit of pique.
That's the way I interpret the Intel report from #London today.

Not published the estimated daily losses for #Russia for a couple of days.
That's because there's not been much movement. All categories under the daily mean today.

Earlier a terrible tale in #Kharkiv region.
The Governor Oleh Synehubov reports that patients and medical staff died in the village of #Strilecha as they tried to evacuate a psychiatric hospital which came under fire.
Six dead. Translation here:

Update on the previous tweet. It gets worse.
**Censored but still sensitive video**
2 female employees of the psychiatric hospital in #Strilecha were reportedly found beheaded in their car. It has been shot up as you can see.

#Russia's authorities report another shelling of the notorious jail in #Olenivka in Occupied #Donetsk where in July around 50 Ukraine prisoners of war were killed and the #UN has still yet been allowed to visit and investigate.
Today they claim one #Ukraine PoW died in shelling.

In related political news, #Hungary's Prime Minister continues to cause controversy.
It's just being reported that in a speech last weekend Orbán said he expects the #Ukraine war to last until 2030 & again hoped sanctions against #Russia would be dropped

Only of interest to avid #Ukraine watchers I guess, but important to report that anti-corruption bureau NABU has finally searched the premises of oligarch #Kolomoiskyi
He's effectively the guy who helped Zelenskyy become president through his TV channels

#Ukraine claims it has killed possibly up to 200 of #Russia's Chechen soldiers in a strike in #Kherson.
The Petrivskyi plant was hit yesterday. Sources told 🇺🇦Intel that Russian equipment was kept there and "Kadyrovites" lived in the dormitory next door

It's being reported by a few channels that one of the exhumed bodies in #Izium/#Izyum had been castrated
Important to say I have no proof of this. A "medical examiner" is quoted saying "the (unknown) man's hands were first tied behind his back and then his genitals were cut off"

Quite a large demo in #Armenia, protesting against #Russia and in favour of becoming a NATO ally (MNNA).
Colours on show include #Ukraine #USA and the free #Russia flag.
Many are angry with #Russia for doing nothing in the recent conflict flare-up with #Azerbaijan.

Yesterday #Ukraine managed to take another couple of settlements in the north of #Kherson region.
Among them is Mala Seidemynukha, which has proved quite important as it sits on the #Inhulets river and the🇺🇦army is reportedly able to cross the river there.

Big protests reported in #Moldova, against the government and President Maia Sandu.
Obviously the opposition parties in Europe's poorest country have strong lies to #Russia and try to create discord.

#Odesa now (RU: #Odessa) and a group of protesters today called for the removal of the monument to "Catherine the Great"
They also want the Mayor to resign - some suspect he has pro-Russian sympathies... I couldn't possibly comment!

The protest among elected officials in #Russia calling for Putin to resign, is still growing, albeit slowly.
Among the latest to put his name to the list is Tomsk councillor Artyom Kanarev.
About 70 have now signed the document.

Today's a travel day, so a little behind reporting some news. But delighted to say a big thanks to Chris W who pledged £200 to take us over £1,500 raised to help #Ukraine's servicemen and women this winter.
More details tomorrow on what we hope to buy.

#Ukraine has now officially confirmed what I reported yesterday - they've crossed the river #Oskil and control the east bank also. Russians have been driven out of #Kupiansk entirely.

Excellent investigation by #Finland's excellent yle, proves #Russia has moved equipment and troops from St Petersburg, presumably to #Ukraine
A whole host of air defence gear has disappeared, which may explain why these missiles are used on the 🇺🇦people

This used to be a bus station apparently. #Ukraine's forces got intel that Russian troops used it as a base. They don't any longer.
The town is in #Luhansk region about 20km from the state border with #Kharkiv

Add to the previous tweet:
This video was posted in #Melitopol purporting to show the yard immediately after the explosion in the centre. It does not reveal too much in the dark to be honest, but clearly some rubble and a lot of interest among the residents.
