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.
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.
Welcome to the daily news thread for 3 October.
Day 222 (Richie Benaud day?) of #Ukraine's defence of its homeland against the full scale invasion by Putin's #Russia
For a catch up on yesterday's here's the start of Sunday's thread for you to scroll thru:
Yesterday I wrote about two horrific and needless land mine tragedies & already two more today in #Kharkiv oblast.
Regional Gov Oleh Synyehubov says an ambulance driver was killed and a paramedic injured near #Balakliia, while another 26yo man was wounded in a separate incident.
As I suspected, #Russia's losses subsided a little in the last 24 hours. That's directly due to the invaders' retreat from #Lyman.
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.
23 people are known to have died, another 28 injured when bombs hit a convoy of vehicles in #Zaporizhzhia
The cars were mainly families heading towards the checkpoint & Occupied part of the region. Of course Putin loves to make a statement on the day he tries to annex all of ZP
This time the leader of the "A Just Russia.." party targets #Kazakhstan.
Sergey Mironov threatens (military) intervention after "seeing manifestations of #Russophobia..
The persecution of Russian-speaking citizens will inevitably begin"🤡
Welcome to Wednesday's daily🧵covering all the news from #Russia's war of choice.
The Kremlin hopes to mobilise 1m "soldiers" to fight the losing battle. To defend their homeland, #Ukraine troops need winter gear. Please help us reach £10k target
Today is Day 217.
Yesterday saw the "results" of the fixed and illegal referenda, blank voting papers, stolen toilets, empty passenger jets heading into #Russia and much more.
