It's seven months ago today that #Russia started its illegal full invasion of #Ukraine.

The "short special military operation" started in winter, and is now in its fourth season. The killing continues.

Here's the daily news thread for Saturday 24 Sept

Let's start Day 213 with #Russia's total losses after 7 months. On average 264 soldiers are being killed every day. The ratio between deaths and injured/disabled means if #Ukraine's estimates are correct likely 200,000 have been lost to the military

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
the morning update from the #UK's intelligence concentrates on #Russia's dambuster tactics!

#StopRussiaNOW #SaveUkraine
Kudos to Stuart Ramsay - back reporting on the frontline in #Ukraine after being shot in the early days of the war.

I'll forgive some of the pronunciations here because the report is a damn good, apparently exclusive, view into life on the southern axis.

Next a video showing the work done by #Ukraine's incredible emergency services.

This was from the attacks on #Zaporizhzhia, where one civilian was killed and 7 were injured by #Russia's missile strike on this apartment block.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #RussiansGoHome
Also in #Zaporizhzhia oblast, cctv caught the moment one of #Russia's kamikaze Iranian made drones struck.

As I reported blast night, the Iranian ambassador to #Ukraine is being expelled.

I am now prepared to back stories some media in #Russia and #Ukraine have been reporting that the Kremlin is trying to conscript over a million new recruits through #mobilisation.

Russia promised 300,000 and even that seemed high. This was clearly possible through reservists
2/2

Seeing the volume of recruits in some places plus many witness testimony videos of young men swearing they've never had any military connection shows #Putin was lying about "partial #mobilisation"

We can also see many over 50s forcibly drafted. No wonder men flee #Russia.
Freed Briton Aiden Aslin @cossackgundi has posted his first video since returning to the UK.

He was among 5 Brits and 10 foreigners freed in the Prisoner exchange deal (in which Bloomberg says Roman Abramovich was the middleman)

Aiden asks us to remember those still in 🇷🇺jails
I've just checked the situation at #Russia-#Finland border. Things seem calm - almost normal now.

Chat sites say on average about an hour to cross.
Last night Finland tightened entry regs.

New footage of the #Antonivskyi (#RU Antonovsky) bridge in occupied #Kherson.

Clearly not repairable in a short time. No sign of the pontoon bridge unless this video was shot from there.

(Can't credit as the original watermark has been blurred)
Still big queues at #Russia's border with #Georgia.
Considering my research proves not many call-ups from St Petersburg/Moscow, not surprising it's much busier than the Finnish border.

Young Russians dump cars in traffic jams & cross on bikes or on foot

An horrific tale from a woman who says she is traumatised in #Ukraine.

The only way this nightmare ends and doesn't return in a few years is to defeat Putin. Please support #Ukraine and its soldiers so we can stop the nightmares and treat those with PTSD

Some protests are taking place again in #Russia against #mobilisation. However, numbers are lower than on the day Putin announced the plans

In #Irkutsk already mass arrests, including girls and women, as in this video. Also plenty of "Titushki" - local thugs paid to help police
Safe to say that police outnumber protesters at many of the proposed rallies today. Virtually as soon as a protester is seen, the uniforms move in.

#Russia against #mobilization

#Mobilisation #StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
The "voting" has continued today in the four temporarily, partially occupied regions. But in #Donetsk and #Zaporizhzhia regions explosions were reported.

#Mariupol' had two blasts according to mayoral adviser Petro Andryushchenko while there was also an explosion in #Berdyansk.
In #Russia the President's address will be this coming Friday. It's likely then the official announcement of the annexation of the 4 regions of #Ukraine into the RU Federation.

There are rumours Putin may also introduce Martial Law, especially in view of today's protests.
Reports of a few skirmishes between new conscripts and police today.

Reuters published this photo after locals in #Omsk said fighting broke out.

It's alleged the mobilised men demanded the police "come and die with them in the trenches."

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
730 people were arrested during anti-mobilisation protests in #Russia today.

Among them was this elderly woman. No respect for age or liberty.

#StopRussia
Is Europe listening?
Will USA donate ATACMS?

#Ukraine says the foreign observers for the fake referenda are from 8 countries as well as #Russia.

Belarus, Syria, Egypt, Brazil, Venezuela, Uruguay, Togo, South Africa have representatives present in the occupied regions.

They may be attending in a private capacity.
#Zaporizhzhia is under attack again. Six blasts recorded so far.

#Russia has fired S-300 anti aircraft missiles again.
They were launched from near Tokmak.
No news yet on damage/casualties.

Another 100 days of war is completed as we reach Day 1600 of Russia's all-out invasion.

100 days is a long time to be fighting for your life, yet now it's "just another 100" not even a real milestone.

Think of that as we delve into another Ukraine news thread,
I'm maybe the only person to compile a daily🧵every single day of the 1600

So much has changed since we reached 100 days - click here if you wish to take a trip down memory lane

At that time <31k 🇷🇺casualties. Continuing at that rate =495k. Instead 1.4m
Here's the more traditional link, back to the start of yesterday's thread. Saturday was a day which saw more Russian ships fail to outrun Ukraine's drones and the establishment of the "Magyar Triangle"

Loads of news yesterday, and you should check it out

I'll quote a favourite saying in Ukraine.
Day 1579 of Russia's war 'didn't start with coffee' especially in occupied Crimea.

Here comes another of my daily threads, with all the important news from Ukraine, and I've still not missed a single day.
Those with me just a few hours ago will already know the early hours saw a huge attack on Crimea.

Before that more war crimes from Russia, while the Poland-Ukraine spat spirals out of control.
Missed anything? Here's the link to catch-up:

Many targets in Crimea have been hit, indeed on both sides of the illegal bridge linking Russia with the annexed peninsula.

Energy infrastructure have been hit, causing power cuts in Sevastopol, Alushta, Krasnoperekopsk + Armiansk among others.

Half of June has already gone and still no resolution to the war in Ukraine. But Moscow is reaping what is sows.

This is THE daily thread for Tuesday - all the news every single day.

We've reached Day 1574
I keep garnering new followers, but X keeps taking followers away without them choosing to unfollow.
But daily views of the thread are slowly increasing again, now around 12k a day.
But we used to be at 25-30k

Y'day was another important and long thread:

Ukraine delivered a message to Moscow during the night. The message was delivered by Dr One in spectacular fashion.

Here's the translated meaning of Magyar's team, the day after Ukraine's most important religious site was hit by the war criminals. Image

It's Day 1573 and the attempted genocide by Russia continued through the night.

Killing the people of Ukraine, its first responders and the most sacred religious site in the country.

The world looks on, shaking its head. If Putin's Nazism isn't stopped, it will reach you soon.
This is THE daily thread with fact-checked news of everything that's happening in Ukraine (and Russia).

The overnight attack by Russia was already underway when I finished Sunday's thread - here's the link if you missed anything on a busy day:

The main temple of Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra is over 1,000 years old.

The Assumption Cathedral was built in 1078, three centuries before Moscow existed.

The Mongols badly damaged it in the 13th century.
700 years later it was blown up in WWII
Now the new Nazi invaders did this:

Day 1560 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and this morning Russia's predicted massive attack has arrived.

Multiple civilians have been murdered and the number is growing.
As I always say, this happens because we in the west have been too weak to stop it.

Here's the daily🧵
There was a lot of destruction yesterday too, though Ukraine stuck to hitting military logistics and fuel targets.

It's caused continuing near-panic for invading Russians, and results can be seen at gas stations.
Catch-up here:

This morning, not just Kyiv badly attacked.
In fact, at the moment, more people are known to have died in Dnipro then the capital and that's where I'll start.

5 killed and 25 injured there plus 3 more wounded in Kamianske in the wider region. Image

Hello again.
Day 1552. A holiday in many countries "Whit Monday" in most, Spring holiday in others (inc UK) and Memorial Day in the U.S

But after 4 years and 3 months, memorials are still being made in Ukraine because our leaders, collectively, let them down.
Here's the daily🧵
I'm still not quite sure where Saturday ended and Sunday began - the days merged into one for me.
What I do know is there were >120 new posts over the 48 hours, that's an average one story every 24 minutes, over the entire two days.

Here's Sunday's link:

There are new murderous attacks by Russia already today in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Explosions have been heard in the city of Dnipro after an alert for ballistic missiles. Smoke can be seen, but no initial news of widespread damage, so hopefully air defence did its job. Image
