Good morning (or evening) to you all on Tues 4 October.

This is the start of my daily thread for Day 223, documenting #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine

If you missed the MUSKalculations yesterday evening, you need to scroll through Monday's thread:

Another blow to #Russia as @nvidia finally announces it's stopping all operations in the Terrorist State.

The company makes chips, and though it had already suspended export, it kept a base there "to support employees"

(Paywall but you can listen free)

Plenty of smoke in #Donetsk on Monday evening.
Still no reports from the Occupiers as to what happened in the Occupied city.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Some are convinced @elonmusk was hacked; there've been no posts since the sh*tstorm 5+ hours ago when he posted something Putin would write.

Many in #Ukraine quick to remind Elon of this photo from #Mariupol when #Russia's invaders wrote "Elon Musk is a dick" on a beloved Tesla
#Kharkiv already under attack today.

Mayor of the city has confirmed an "industrial facility" was hit by missiles along with infrastructure.

Bombs fell in the Novobavarskyi and Kholodnohirskyi districts.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A couple of days ago, "Miss Crimea" was seen singing a patriotic #Ukraine song ("Oi u luzi chervona kalyna") - the video went viral.

Now another video where Olha Valeeva is forced to apologise by #Russia and fined 40,000 rubles. Her friend was ordered detained for 10 days.
The British daily Intelligence update reports on another conscription wave by #Russia which I was unaware of.

#StopRussia
It's now known a 46 year old woman died in the rocket on Novobavarsky in #Kharkiv.

A fire which broke out, was soon containedthe #Ukraine authorities report.

#StandWithUkraine
At some point in the previous 24 hours, the number of APVs destroyed by #Ukraine hit 5,000.

A huge 44 tanks over the last day too while the death toll for #Russia also remains high, though below recent record totals.
Y'day a shell hit the Kontinent mall in #Donetsk (see link) and I said we may never know who was to blame.

Now apparent debris of a Kh-31 missile, used by #Russia was found there.

I assess it's a mistake/fault rather than a deliberate false flag attack

#Ukraine issues advice on how to survive a nuclear (or dirty) bomb.

If you're outside:

Don't look at the flash.
Lie down feet towards the explosion.
Move to shelter after the shockwave

The news in the previous tweet comes after a report in @thetimes predicting #Russia will conduct a nuclear "test" to scare #Ukraine on the border.

It's believed a "nuclear train" is on its way to Russia's western border.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
Courts in #Russia busy...

One fines TikTok 3,000,000 rubles for not removing video "propaganda" of LGBT material.

Another court raises the punishment to 4m for Twitch after it refused to delete an interview with @arestovych

Life in #Russia!
More shocking photos of a freed #Ukraine soldier after being held by #Russia

#Azov's Dmytro Kozatskyi (aka Orest) says he doesn't want to look like a victim. But how can we think otherwise when looking at his emaciated body?

Three more villages confirmed liberated by #Ukraine

Bohuslavka and Borivska Andriivka are in #Kharkiv region while Novopetrivka in #Kherson oblast has also been freed from #Russia's Occupiers.

Here a few remaining residents in Bohuslavka sing the national hymn as the flag rises
Responding to news that Pres @ZelenskyyUa refuses to negotiate with #Putin, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry 'Rolex' Peskov said:
"We will either wait for a change in the positions of the current president, or we will wait for the future Ukraine President, who will change his position"
This reportedly Crimeans queueing in #Kazakhstan to change their Russian passports for #Ukraine documents, having managed to flee Russia's occupation of the peninsula.

#StandWithUkraine
#Russia's installed "head" of #Kherson is being mocked for another video insisting the frontline hasn't changed

Novodmytrivka,
Novovoskresenske
Novomykolaivka
Novopetrivka

#Russia has mined the 1st & 2nd atomic power units of the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

That's the allegation Hryhory Plachkov, ex-head of #Ukraine's State Inspectorate.

"We receive reports of bullying of the station's personnel" said Plachkov.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Biden reveals provision of $625m more military aid for #Ukraine in Presidential phone call to @ZelenskyyUa.

The support will include additional weapons and equipment, including #HIMARS, artillery systems and ammunition, and armoured vehicles.

whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
The #EU has agreed its 8th round of sanctions on #Russia, with full details announced tomorrow when they will be voted through to become law.

There will be a price cap on oil sales, #Cyprus #Greece & #Malta asked for assurances over lost tanker revenue.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Very strange look to the sky over #Belgorod in #Russia tonight.

Propagandists are trying to persuade anyone who will listen it's a super new secret weapon.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Explosions heard in both #Odesa and #Dnipro this evening, but no reports of missiles landing - it seems to be air defence working on missiles or drones.

This is the beginning of the daily Ukraine thread on Day 1491.

The day started with an attack a major Russian port, which I was still reporting on during yesterday's🧵at 03:15 GMT/05:15 Kyiv

More details on that coming up.
The aerial fightback at the end of the day (start of today) came after Russia broke every record in the book for drone numbers during a cowardly attack on less protected city centres in the west of the country.

Catch up here, but remember to come back!

Overnight the usual attacks on Ukraine and, I'm afraid, the usual civilian casualties.

Nine people have been injured in a drone strike on the Novobavarskyi district of Kharkiv.

Day 1487 of Russia's 3-day Special Military Operation.
I wonder if Trump's slavish following of Putin will mean his own S.M.O. reaches 4 years?

But I am here to bring all the Ukraine news, as I have done EVERY SINGLE DAY since even before the full invasion. KoFi always welcome!
You may know I am in the middle of a tough 10-days of tennis comms, school commitments and parenting duties.

I read every comment, try to reply to all serious ones and credit all sponsors, but I am behind right now as I prioritise the news stories/🧵

I will catch up!💙💛
Thankfully, it's been a reasonably quiet news week, but a lot of Russians are dying at the front - with almost no noticeable land gains.

And Ukraine's concerted attacks on air defence is now reaping rewards. More targets struck overnight, catch up here:

Finally, I am here to start the Ukraine daily thread for Sunday 15 March. My body has recovered from self-inflicted sleep deprivation.

It's Day 1481 of the full Russian invasion.
All the important news, here in one place, every day.
Coming up, news of more Ukraine strikes, and how Zelenskyy delicately tries to say Trump is lying.

First though the link back to the start of yesterday's thread, which started with horrific scenes but again saw many good tactical strikes by Ukraine:

It's Oscars Day and #TeamTim is cheering for Pasha!

When the awards are handed out in LA tonight, we are hoping 'Mr Nobody' takes the documentary prize.

Apologies if this is geo-restricted by the BBC but this is a nice report I wanted to share:

It's Day 1451 of the attempt to wipe Ukraine off the map/

Russian athletes compete at the #WinterOlympics while a Ukrainian athlete is in court right now trying to overturn his ban.

This is THE daily thread. Facts not fabrication. Proof not propaganda. Every single day.
Here's the link for the start of yesterday's thread, for those playing catch-up.

A day dominated by the IOC's own goal, but more, regular attacks by Russia day and night.

Another tragedy/massacre in Ukraine, with at least four civilians killed in another Russian airstrike.

It happened in Kramatorsk in free Donetsk.
Three of those killed were under 21 years of age, the other victim was in his 60s.

The war in Europe continues. This is Day 1445 of Russia's attempt to erase Ukraine from the map & destroy its language and culture.

The genocide continues as I type, with a massive missile attack underway.

For all the news as it happens, keep checking back. This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday started with a supposed assassination attempt on another very senior Russian soldier.

A load of other great stories too, including the start of the overnight attack on Ukraine's remaining energy facilities. Catch up on what you missed here:

Having seen around 200 attack drones flying at the height of Russia's attack tonight, there are now around half that.

Day 1444 of Russia's merciless war has begun with the invaders losing another Lieutenant General - has Ukraine's special services struck again?

Detail on all the stories, all day, every day in my daily thread. Let's Go!
Thursday's thread included the release of a relatively small number of POWs - but finally some Azov fighters were freed.

And double delight for Ukraine tennis fans, to offset a little of the pain of more Russian attacks.
If you missed anything, click⬇️

So, Russia's reporting (which doesn't necessarily make it true) that one of the most senior Generals has been shot.

Lt Gen Vladimir Alekseev is said to be alive and in hospital after the attack in Moscow.

What makes me a little suspicious is there are no photos from the scene. Image
