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
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.
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 😅
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
⚡️#Russia's soldiers sexually assaulted a 4 year old child.
⚡️🇷🇺embassy in Canada firebombed
⚡️Big (suspicious) fire in 🇷🇺 city
⚡️Employees forced to "donate" over 40% of their weekly wage to Russia's war
Sunday 18 September, daily thread number 207 covering the news and analysis of #Russia's illegal invasion.
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!
A late start today to the thread, but it's been largely quiet in #Ukraine so far this Sunday.
For all yesterday's stories check through yesterday's thread right here:
#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.
Another weekend, another daily thread about the war in #Ukraine, a country fighting for its survival in the face of the onslaught from #Russia's huge army of war criminals and mercenaries.
It's Day 206

Generally a quiet night in #Ukraine. The usual shelling from #Russia|ns in the likes of #Nikopol and #Sumy, but even in the latter fewer than 60 grads fired in the region in the last 24 hours, which although it sounds horrendous, is well down on usual daily figures.
Once again we've seen far fewer attacks than "normal" from #Russia in the last 12 hours. In fact it's newsworthy that there was not a single rocket fired on #Kharkiv overnight.
