Welcome to Daily Thread #220
It's October, which means war has been waged on #Ukraine in 9 different months now by an increasingly desperate #Russia

If you missed anything y'day, take a look here:

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

Late last night #Russia predictably used its veto in the @UN Security Council vote, proving again the UN is useless. Despite condemnation of Russia by the UN leader, the Kremlin can simply avoid punishment.

China, Brazil, India and Gabon abstained. The others voted in favour.
The near siege of #Lyman continues.
While #Russia tries to bring in reserves, there have been unverified reports and videos of its troops fleeing the cauldron.

During the night it seems #Ukraine has been striking #Kreminna, the Russians' escape/reinforcement route.

#StopRussia
Almost all regions of #Ukraine were under air raid warnings a few minutes ago, with explosions heard in #Odesa (#Odessa) and #Mykolaiv (#Nikolaev)

The Mayor of Mykolaiv says a residential building was hit. Seems an Iranian Kamikaze drone got through air defence, now a large fire
In #Odesa at least two loud bangs were heard. Some posts on chat sites and social media report more.

No confirmation yet whether the explosions were due to air defence or Russian missiles/drones hitting #Ukraine land.

#Odessa #SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
Also reports of explosions in #Kramatorsk this morning.

Back to #Odesa and here's an alternative video - two separate explosions can clearly be heard in this CCTV footage.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia #Odessa
There's now a video of the vandalism of #Russia's Consulate in #NewYork.

This happened just under 24 hours ago and I first reported it in yesterday's thread with photos only.

#StandWithUkraine #StopPutinNOW
#Mongolia has offered to issue residency permits to all those fleeing #Russia to avoid a military call-up.

Previously those crossing the border without a visa could only stay 30 days.

#MobilizationInRussia #StopRussia
Britain today points out what's been mentioned in these threads many times before. The use of air defence missiles to kill civilians.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
With Putin ordering #Russia's troops in #Lyman not to retreat the casualties get higher and higher with close combat fighting likely.

Tomorrow looks very likely to hit 60,000 wasted Russian lives, all dying for nothing.

#StandWithUkraine
#Ukraine's President gives as the #USA continues to #StandWithUkraine

For the good of the world, freedom and democracy, we must #StopRussia

More outrageous news from Europe's largest nuclear power plant.

#Russia has kidnapped/detained the Director of the #Zaporizhzhia plant which is located in Occupied #Enerhodar.

Here's the full statement from #Ukraine's Energy board:

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
Earlier today #Ukraine's army reached the outskirts of #Lyman.

The yellow and blue flag was unveiled next to the city's "stele" or name-sign. But fierce fighting continues in the city itself.

#StandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraini
⚡️Graphic photos⚡️

A new atrocity is uncovered in eastern #Ukraine

Near recently liberated #Kupyansk, a convoy of cars was attacked a week ago. 7 families' cars were fired on by the retreating Russians. Twenty people were killed, including 10 children.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine's managed to liberate more villages near #Lyman.

Novoselivka, Shandryholovo and Stavky are clear of invaders according to Kyiv, but last night #Russia was saying it had regained ground inside #Stavky.
The balance of evidence points to Ukraine being correct.
Even the most rabid pro-Russian sites are now reporting The Kremlin's troops are retreating from #Lyman.

The firefight seems to be the attempt by #Russia to protect troops and maybe some equipment they try to preserve. It's likely they will move back as far as #Kreminna.
Footage now of #Russia's vehicles fleeing on the one route out of #Lyman

The "Return alive" group publishes aerial shots of some of an estimated 5,000 trapped Kremlin fighters hurrying away - #Ukraine has fire control and I understand is picking off many

facebook.com/watch/?v=11231…
As many as 13 explosions reported in occupied #Enerhodar (unverified).

Earlier today #Russia kidnapped the director of the Nuclear Power Plant in the town in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
Another strange video has been published, which I cannot verify.

A #Ukraine patriot says this is happening in Occupied #Zaporizhzhia region. #Russia seems to be burying things - no one knows what but some allege it must be chemical weapons.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
I cannot post this video on Twitter as I'll likely get banned.

It's from @censor_net showing the scale of destruction of #Russia's forces on the roads in #Lyman

Corpses, armoured vehicles everywhere. This looks like a rout; a tactical disaster by #Putin

t.me/censor_net/175…
Explosions happening on occupied #Crimea at the big Russian air base at #Belbek.

#SlavaUkraini
There's also a short video posted on Telegram showing smoke from the scene of the exolosions at the #Belbek air field, #Crimea.

#CrimeaIsUkraine
#Russia says a plane caught fire and skidded off the runway at the #Belbek military airfield.

Yet on the first photo I posted looks a lot like explosions🤨

All according to plan 🤣
And now we have a video of the explosions at the #Belbek airfield.

If a plane just "skidded off the runway" I dread to think what it was carrying or what it hit.

Looks increasingly like a Ukraine strike
#Crimea #Ukraine
And this too is supposedly from #Belbek when "a Russian plane skidded off the runway" cough cough!

Still trying to work out what's going on here, but sure you'll enjoy watching!

#StandWithUkraine #Crimea
I guess this is good news, considering the environmental impact. But I hope it never flows again.

#StopRussia

Some important jobs are already being done by #Ukraine's fighters in liberated #Lyman.

Signs erected by #Russia being torn down.

#SlavaUkraini
Back to the explosions at the #Belbek airfield in Occupied #Crimea.

The Head of #Sevastopol says the fire is now out. And there does indeed seem to be a grainy video confirming a plane overshot the runway by a long way.

#StopRussia
A lot of theories sent to me about this. The most popular, and likely, is they are marine mines.

But why bury them in already dug trenches?
Some correspondents adamant they'll be covered with contaminated waste and then blown up when🇺🇦army approaches.

If ever you wonder if we are doing the right thing. If you know people who think "Russia can't be that bad" just let them read this

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine️

news.sky.com/story/released…
Earlier I posted a mysterious drone video showing what may have been #Russia burying marine mines in a field.

Is this #Ukraine hitting them, or another similar trench of buried explosives? Potentially before any harmful substance is placed on top?

This 57 year old became a mercenary for #Russia to kill in #Ukraine.

His T shirt says Strength (is) Truth.

The truth is Mikhail Shiyan is now strong fertiliser.

#StopRussiaNOW
As Day 220 draws to a close, we have ongoing battles in #Kreminna where #Russia's fleeing forces try to establish new defences, and in #Kherson region where #Ukraine is pushing forward.

Reality seems to be dawning on Russia, even the censored TV stations

Good morning and I hope you are all well.

Yes, I'm back again for another daily thread, with all the important news from Ukraine and Russia in one handy thread, every single day.

DMs open for your tip-offs; please help to keep Ukraine in the news, share, re-post, reply etc.
So, Day 1303 gets underway, but first the link back to 1302 and Wednesday's news feed.

A lot of stuff covered, but forgive me for my favourite moment being the British King lecturing a wannabe king about support for Ukraine.

Only a 65% success rate for Ukraine's air defence last night.

75 drones were launched by Russia, initially at eastern areas, then attacking Kyiv later in the night.
One UAV is still flying, of the others, Ukraine brought down 48.

Hits occurred in 6 places according to Ukraine. Image

Wednesday. Day 1302 of the illegal war started by Russia.

For all the fact-checked news about Ukraine, analysis not sugar-coated, and honest appraisals of the situation, trust an expert who isn't here for clicks (if I was I'd post lies & gory videos).

Thanks for being #TeamTim
Yesterday an astonishing report from Yale showing Russia forcing kidnapped kids to work in drone factories, how Croatia may have embarrassed the Putin/ Hungary/Slovakia axis.

Those and many more stories in Tuesday's thread, click here to review:

2-3 weeks ago, Russia started copying Ukraine's attacks on railway infrastructure and is having success.

At night, Ukrzaliznytsia substations were hit, causing power losses firing the rail network.

Over 20 passenger trains were on affected routes, but there are no casualties. Image

Day 1301 of Ukraine fighting for its survival. The right to be free, speak their own language, worship in their own churches, to learn their own history.

A history of long suppression by Russia.
As war crimes grow daily, the words "never again" don't seem to apply.
Here's the🧵
Yesterday began, and ended, with Russia attacking Zaporizhzhia, injuring civilians.

Also, the head of the IAEA disgraced himself in Russia's arms, changes of 🇺🇦army leadership, and how a Russian guy was a Putin opponent, until 3 mins after being elected.

First though a breaking news after a number of morning attacks by Russia, particularly in Kyiv region.

This is in the town of Fastiv where a logistics centre for the electronic retail company EpiCentre (EpiTsentr).

Residents are warned of potential air pollution. Image

Day 1300 of Putin's war.
Another 100 days of fighting completed.
We are no nearer peace than we were 100 days ago.

Almost 200 days ago Trump demanded a 30-day unconditional ceasefire.
Not surprising as he started it, it's always Putin stopping peace.

Here's Monday's daily🧵
If you were busy over the weekend, click the link to see all Sunday's stories.

It was a day when Ukraine had to quickly repair a main railway line after a massive explosion, but they also managed to make multiple hits on Russia's rail and oil industries

The overnight bombardment from Russia remained lower than usual, although 84 drones and 3 S-300 missiles caused a fair bit of damage on 'soft' targets

With 59 UAVs stopped, that's a 70% success rate.
None of the missiles was intercepted either

The 28 hits occurred in 13 places Image

Day 1299 - the daily thread starts here, covering all things to do with the illegal invasion of Ukraine by its demonic neighbour.

Plenty to catch up on due to the late start today.
So no time to waste, let's go...
Apologies for the much later start than intended, due to a few technical issues, as well as Dad's Taxi being booked for a rescue mission😂

Before we look at today's events, here's the link back to Saturday's thread:

At the end of yday's thread, I wrote about what was a probable Russian strike on Kyiv's railway.

Ukraine's Gen Staff doesn't say it was an attack but admits a "detonation of ammunition on a train carrying military cargo"

Accidents happen, but either way it's a clear blow.

Hello on Day 1298 of Russia's full invasion of its sovereign neighbour. So, only 1295 days late in fulfilling the boast of taking Kyiv in 3 days. #EATP for Putin.

I've compiled a🧵every single day without fail.
You can help my work with a boost, comment, re-post or a coffee🙏
Friday saw more important visitors arrive in Kyiv (and another familiar place is in Ukraine today).

There was more solidarity and practical support, while Russia suffered more oil woes.

If you missed anything, click and scroll here:

I'll start in Odesa, because that's where the familiar face has turned up.

He was planning to return to Ukraine a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't make it, but now Boris is back.
Loved by nearly all Ukrainians, his early arrival (with Lord Ashcroft) meant he avoids the crowds. Image
