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

This is the start of THE daily thread covering all things Ukraine.

Reliable, accurate information for 1124 days as Russia and its willing accomplices (Iran, North Korea and MAGA-land) try to destroy Ukraine, its culture and its democracy to make it a vassal state.

Here's the🧵
Yesterday started with shocking lies and propaganda from the White House and ended with another massive attack by Russia, knowing tRUmp and co don't mind at all.

Find all the details by clicking and scrolling here⬇️

Worryingly, Russia achieved a 17% hit rate from its overnight drone attack with 25 of 147 getting through Ukraine's air defence.

97 attack UAVs were taken down and 25 more were decoys.

Kyiv came under fire most during the night.

The war Russia inflicted on Ukraine enters Day 1120

Ukraine, a country which never invaded another, never killed anyone abroad; a fully democratic nation where only one President has ever won a second term in office.

Here's THE daily thread for Wednesday, with all the news.
Yesterday was all about the ritual humiliation of tRUmp, dished out by Putin, and the US president's brain being too rusty to realise.

I also indulged in a long sub-thread on my fears about what's happening in Washington DC.
Catch up here:

It's official. tRUmp's supposed skill at making a deal is absolutely RANK

Russia
Afghanistan
NK (North Korea)

#TraitorTrump promised a deal with his mate in NK, got nothing.
He handed the Taliban everything, got nothing.
Now, ending the war in 24 hours turned into humiliationImage

Tuesday 18 March is Day 1119 of the war in Europe

Putin, the aggressor, the war criminal, presiding over countless heinous crimes, executions, kidnapping of children, is about to be given a pass by Donald J Trump.
The despot and the wannabe talk today.

This is THE daily thread
Yesterday saw an explosive end to a day which started with mystery surrounding a Ukraine hit in Russia, and moved through the thread with some harrowing and shocking tales and scenes from Kherson.

Catch up here! #SlavaUkraïni

During the night 7% of Russia's drones defeated air defence, according to Ukraine's figures.

Kyiv says there were 64 simulator drones which fell harmlessly - I think is a record, but cannot be sure.

Another 63 were shot down, with 10 of 137 attack UAVs reaching targets. Image

Welcome to my daily thread, covering all things #Ukraine every single day since even before the first day of Russia's full invasion.

This is Day 1110 of Putin's long promised land grab - he's also pledged to reunite the rest of the USSR.

More atrocities overnight, let's begin:
For those loving people who urge me to get more sleep, you will be pleased to know there was no alarm this morning; I am refreshed and ready to tackle JD TRussia again.

A busy Friday ended with news of the awful attack in free Donetsk, catch up here:

Coming up news of a significant new oil strike in Russia. While Ukraine sticks to military targets, Putin's horde targets civilians.

#Dobropillya is a small place, but this heinous attack may go down as one of the worst of the war.

Today sees the completion of 3 years of full scale war unleashed by #Russia on #Ukraine.

As signs point to an end to this war relatively soon, the ONLY question which should be asked is: are you happy to reward war-criminal terrorists with land?

Here's THE daily thread:
It's Day 1096 of #Russia 's war.

If you missed anything yesterday, catch up on Saturday's news here:

The #UK is in full focus today.
As @Keir_Starmer prepares to fly to Washington, new sanctions will be unveiled tomorrow.

Foreign Sec @DavidLammy says it will be "the largest package of sanctions against #Russia since the early days of the war eroding its military machine."

Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.

Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.

On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:

100% record in air defence overnight, according to #Ukraine.

Of 83 attack drones fired by #Russia, 61 were shot down by #Ukraine with the other 22 decoys.

I did report a fire in #Sumy last night, but that and damage in #Kharkiv #Poltava + #Kirovohrad were from falling debris. Image
