Day 208 of the war.
#Russia's grotesque war on #Ukraine. This is the daily thread.

A new week, but a national holiday in the #UK - the funeral of Elizabeth II and a new photo - her last ever portrait.

Goodbye our Queen, and thank you.
Fewer stories on Sunday than for a long time, which is a relief as that usually means fewer civilian deaths in #Ukraine.

But there was still plenty to write about - if you missed anything, scroll through yesterday's thread with this link:

I'm just back in the UK from #Poland
Plans now in place for purchase & distribution of however much equipment we can buy to help #Ukraine's brave soldiers for winter

We're up to £1,560 but we need more.
Please dig deep, share on Facebook, Insta, anywhere

Right on cue to prove they need our help, one region of #Ukraine has come under a massive attack tonight.

Eight missiles have landed in #Zaporizhzhia, information is still scarce, but we think two important infrastructure sites have been hit.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
One guy was filming from afar when the missiles hit #Zaporizhzhia oblast, but the sound wave was still deafening

We now think infrastructure in the #Tokmak area's been hit by #Russia

Again they fired with S-300 air defence missiles, quite possibly those moved from St Petersburg
Some reports saying 10 rockets landed in the #Zaporizhzhia region (so far).

There were a lot of power outages immediately after the strikes, but electricity has been restored in some areas.

This the moment one missile hit #Ukraine ground.

#Zaporozhe #StopRussia
Earlier tonight there were reports that #Ukraine's second largest nuclear power plant had been hit.

It's in #Yuzhnoukrainsk near #Kostyantynivka in #Mykolaiv oblast.
But radiation levels are stable and it looks like only communications have been hit.

#StopRussia
In the last few minutes there's been another explosion in #Mykolaiv (RU: #Nikolaev) region.
Hopefully air defence working for #Ukraine.

The sirens are still sounding.
#SaveUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Interesting photos published by TG channel UAonlii which shows how little light there is in #Ukraine compared to 7 months ago.

These are pictures from space of 24 February and now. A subtle but stark contrast - look how many small towns/villages just 'disappeared'

#StopRussia
Only just realised I didn't post the new photo of Queen Elizabeth II which I promised at the start of today's thread, so here it is now.
Another #Wagner base destroyed by #Ukraine.

That's the claim as pinpoint strikes hit this building in Occupied #Kadiivka (RU #Stakhanov) in #Luhansk oblast.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
One would think sooner or later #Russia's cannon fodder would work it out for themselves: not only does #Ukraine have these incredible #HIMARS but they're clearly getting very good intel from locals, these hits won't just be from drone info.

#RussiansGoHome alive while you can!
Speaking of Intel. Here's the British daily update.
This time #Russia's pilots are criticised and likely being put in overly dangerous positions. I didn't think the beloved Air Force 'heroes' would also be cannon fodder 😅

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
For the first time we see close-up the state of the local government building in occupied #Kherson.

This place was hit with #HIMARS on Friday.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
I could write for hours about this. If ever something summed up the vile double standards, sick mentality, pettiness & numerous other things it's here

5 months ago Mr Petrakov said he wanted to fight Putin's invaders, now #Russia hopes he's banned for it

theguardian.com/world/2022/sep…
During the night I reported on the attacks on #Zaporizhzhia

We now know one pensioner was injured when #Russia's missile hit houses in a village and she was trapped under rubble.

Two shells hit a transformer substation near a residential area in the city itself.
#SaveUkraine
"PUT-IN ASAP"
Yesterday protesters in #Oslo brought a blood-spattered effigy of #Russia's warmonger in a coffin to #Norway's parliament.
#Ukraine's President says "#Russia endangers the whole world"

A new webcam video is published of missiles hitting the country's second biggest nuclear power plant shortly after midnight.

As I wrote in this thread earlier, thankfully only communications equipment was damaged.
After recent stories about those who break curfews in #Ukraine being "encouraged" to sign up for the military, few people take any chances.

Look at the number of requests this taxi driver gets in the final few minutes before it's illegal to be on the streets of #Kyiv
A big tragedy unfolding in #Donetsk
At least 13 people are dead with bodies and body parts strewn all over streets in the #Kuibyshevskyi district.

#Ukraine's Intelligence had warned of a false flag event in the Occupied areas yesterday or today.
Both sides will blame each other
There are numerous videos from the scene of the massacre in #Donetsk knocking around, but all are too grizzly to show on Twitter. I've taken some screenshots and had to block out bodies ripped in two by today's blast.
#SaveUkraine
Some more photographs from the police in #Zaporizhzhia showing the destruction from some of the rocket attacks in the villages of the region.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
I've added a couple of updates to the Crowdfunder.
Some pictures now on this page showing what your money will be buying and I'm attaching them here too.

We're at 17% of the target. Please help - can you buy a hero a poncho?

Smoke is seen rising from near the HydroElectric plant in #Kakhovka region of occupied #Kherson.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
Exhumations of the victims of #Russia's aggression continues in #Izium (Izyum)

Meanwhile the town itself - well we knew what to expect. Every single village, town or city - just one aim for the evil invaders, to destroy everything.

#Kharkiv #Kharkov #StopRussia
Yesterday I brought news of students freed from Russian captivity in #Ukraine.

The Sri Lankans have given interviews today, describing
* Beatings on the feet
* made to work as slaves for Russians
* 1 toilet break of 1 min + 1 of 2 min per day
* 1 shower every 5 days
We've had reports today of explosions in both occupied #Melitopol and #Ukraine-held #KryvyiRih. But no further details or even confirmation of either.

The smoke rising in Melitopol was again seen at the airport, which has been repeatedly hit in recent days.
#Ukraine's PM and First Lady attended today's State funeral for Queen Elizabeth II.

The Prime Minister published this tweet and on Telegram says he's invited King Charles III to visit #Ukraine.

#StandWithUkraine 🇬🇧💙💛🇺🇦

The prevailing thought in #Ukraine tonight is that #Russia is panicking and desperate to announce Luhansk and Donetsk as part of #Russia as soon as possible.

Then any 🇺🇦attack can be judged an attack on 🇷🇺, enabling a declaration of war and full mobilisation, potentially nukes.
#Ukraine's new Prosecutor General confirms 5 children have been sexually assaulted by Russian invaders during the war. The youngest just 4 years of age.

#Russia's telling its tourists heading to #Turkiye to take cash. It comes after two more Turkish banks announced they won't accept Russian payment cards.

Sure the Turkish criminals are looking forward to welcoming a whole nation of tourists with pockets and cases of cash!
There was one more chapter of #RussiaOnFire today and an interesting one too.

The Kremlin would like you to believe this was just a "paint and varnish plant" in #Izhevsk.

But the city is one of the main centres of manufacturing for the military. Sabotage possibility moderate
#Russia has released CCTV footage it says is of the moment someone threw a Molotov cocktail at the country's embassy in #Canada.

Moscow has summoned the Canadian ambassador to the Kremlin.

Incredible. In #Yakutia employees of #Gazprom were ordered to "give" 1,000 rubles ($17) each to the military for medicines (cough, cough)

That's over 40% of the average weekly wage in this freezing part of #Russia, which is just 2,370 rubles.

Sunday 27 October 2024 - it's Day 977 of #Russia's full invasion. This is the original, the best thread covering the illegal war being waged on #Ukraine.

I've never missed a day, and it's all free, but if you can spare a coffee to support me, please click the link in my bio💙💛
Saturday was another one of those days when sadly, we saw many of the usual #Russia tactics...

Attack civilians, bomb anything they can reach, oh, and hire thugs to help intimidate and fix elections.
Read all about it - click the link to catch up:

First an update on the election in #Georgia.

The ruling Georgian Dream party has given itself over 54% after almost all votes have been counted.
The united anti-Russia opposition supposedly only managed 37%

However protests are likely after numerous violations on election day. Image

Please buy me a coffee if you want to support specialist independent journalism (link in bio)💙💛
Here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread, which also has the results of the UN poll.

A resounding victory to kick Russia out of the UNSC, having arbitrarily inherited a seat from the USSR.
Very few happy with how things are now.

Another extraordinary number of deaths (and serious injuries) suffered by #Russia in 24 hours, with the figure again over 1600.

22 pieces of special equipment high too.

You've found the start of Sunday's thread dedicated to #Ukraine's fight for democracy, survival and some would say, protecting the west and its neighbours like #Moldova and #Georgia, as #Russia's imperialist ambitions move into overdrive.

Day 970, less than a month 'til 1,000😳
Here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread. I'm heartened to get a lot of messages saying how much they use this, so they can see all the stories of the day quickly and easily.

It was an explosive end to Saturday - explore here:

A lot to get through with the overnight attacks on both countries, but first #Russia losses.

1,340 more invaders killed/maimed.
So, October's now on course to be the bloodiest month ever for Putin's horde. The daily mean is 1,268 just below Sept's 1,272 but with an extra day. Image

Welcome to the weekend, and Day 934 of #Russia's illegal war.

I'm trying to overcome technical problems all this morning, hence the later start.

But I will not be stopped in bringing you the news from, and about, #Ukraine every single day, in one handy thread.
Here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread, for those catching up.

We fight a constant battle against X censorship, so please share, spread, recommend valued accounts and check if you or friends have been unfollowed from favourite people/accs.

76 out of 76 - a 100% record for #Ukraine defenders of the skies.

During the night (and morning) none of #Russia's 76 attack drones hit targets according to Air Defence command.

72 were shot down, 2 disappeared and 2 more went home to #Russia.

There was some damage though... Image

Hi there. It's Day 933 of #Ukraine's defence after the full invasion by #Russia.

Each day, all the big news is here in one place, updated throughout the day.

Scroll through yesterday's thread here:
Overnight there were strong explosions near occupied #Mariupol.

It would seem #Ukraine has hit one of #Russia's ammo dumps.

🇺🇦advisor Petro Andryushchenko says it happened between the villages of Portovskoe, Rybatskoe and Melekino.

#RussiansGOHOME

#Russia expels 6 UK diplomats, accused of spying. The FSB says the group attended NGO meetings!

State TV Rossiya-24 published photos of the six, naming them as Jessica Davenport, Callum Andrew Duff, Grace Elvin, Catherine McDonnell, Blake Patel, Thomas John Hickson Stevinet. Image
