Welcome to the start of the daily #Russis was thread for Day 224 of the full invasion and attempt to destroy free #Ukraine.

All the news in one handy thread, and if you missed yesterday's, here's the link:

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Apologies again for slow updates and responses, I am commentating on tennis most of the day again.
Doing my best!
The daily British Intel update shows why #Russia is continuing to panic. There's quite widespread acknowledgement in the Russian media now that #Ukraine has made advances, increasing the realisation that mobilisation will spread and the war will now touch most people's lives
The #Ukraine estimate at how many Russians they've killed in the war reached 61,000.

As expected the daily increases are slowing down as the invaders continue to retreat:

#StopPutin #SaveUkraine
With so many losses and big mobilisation problems there are more and more examples of people being rounded up on the streets. This is occupied #Luhansk where an unmarked bus cruises around with masked inhabitants looking for "victims" to drag to war.

#StopRussia
Two very expected events have happened today:

#Putin formally signed in to law the annexation of 4 parts of #Ukraine (though no one knows how much!)

And in response, the EU's 8th round of sanctions is law - I reported the details yesterday.

Already today #Russia's terrorist tactics saw it bombard #BylaTserkva with kamikaze drones.

6 of the Iranian missiles were fired at the town in #Kyiv region. One person was injured and infrastructure has been damaged.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussiaNOW
#Zaporizhzhia was also attacked again this morning.

It's still not exactly clear how many casualties there are but we do know that #Russia fired Iskander missiles at the city itself and the outskirts

#Ukraine says air defence was working and here's a video of one rocket remains
Another loophole has been closed by banks in #Czechia.

It has been possible for Russians to use bank cards issued in #Russia for Chinese banks to withdraw cash etc. That's no longer possible.

#StopRussia #SanctionsWork
Exiled Governor of #Luhansk says "deoccupation has already begun"

Serhiy Haidai made a TikTok! Several settlements have already been liberated he claims!

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
After the missile attacks on #Zaporizhzhia I reported earlier, it's revealed both the Deputy Head of #Hulyaipole & the the head of the local Communist party were killed.

Gov Starukh paid tribute saying Olexandr Savitsky and Oleksandr Kosarenko bravely remained working to the end
First photos are coming from the villages conquered by #Ukraine in the #Luhansk region.

Earlier Gov Haidai said several places have been liberated. Unofficial news is that in both #Makiivka and here #Hrevivka, the Russians have been expelled

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
A judge in #Ukraine has been struck off.
A couple of weeks ago I reported Bohdan Lviv has a Russian passport and part-owns property in #Russia

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Ahh, here we go...

#Russia, which is of course entirely innocent and had nothing to gain by damaging the #NordStream 1 pipeline, now has the perfect solution...

Resurrect the #NordStream2 project.

NET! NO! NEIN! NI! NON! Da Svidanya Moskva.
To help stop fuel prices from surging again, Joe Biden has promised to release an additional 10 million barrels from the #USA's strategic oil reserve to market in November.

It follows OPEC's decision to cut production by 2m barrels a day. Oil prices today had risen 2%.
Independent media site Baza is reporting Russian authorities in a Karelian village could not mobilise a single person.

All the male inhabitants of #Sheltozero "went to the forests for cranberries"

#StopRussia #MobilizationInRussia
There's a two week holiday for kids in #Kherson.

Of course the Occupiers are not panicking, but "for security purposes" all schools will be closed for two weeks.

I wonder how many of the imported teachers already fled?

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Sky claiming it's the first to film British rocket launchers, helping to turn the tide in #Ukraine's favour.

They've just been able to publish the video report which was filmed just ahead of the rout of #Lyman.

#SlavaUkraini

news.sky.com/story/british-…
I try to report both sides and here #Russia's army TV produces a TV report showing "#Ukraine's fortified areas near #Avdiivka exploding"

But the video clips of the explosions seem completely random and detached from the rest of the report.
I judge this probably fake/staged
I've just had some fun diving into #Russia's TV this evening..

Let me enlighten you in a few tweets.

Starting with the führer, sorry President of #Russia who has "huge respect" for Ukrainians but continues to deny it is a sovereign country

A little earlier Putin said he was "surprised" at the results of the 'referenda' in #Ukraine.

Presumably in the same way when I ordered a ham sandwich, I got a ham sandwich!

Putin clearly now used to people following his orders these days!

#StopRussia #FreeUkraine
Next to tonight's #SolobevLive programme.
More dissent and extraordinary comments allowed to be seen by #Russia's viewers.

Andrei Kartapolov, Chair of RU Parliament's Defence Committee says "we need to stop lying. Our people aren't stupid + see they don't get even half-truths"
Unbelievable: The International Boxing Association is allowing fighters from #Russia and #Belarus to compete again, wear national colours and anthems to be played if they win medals.

Fact check: Who is President of the IBA?
Umar Kremlev from #Russia

#Corruption #StopRussia
No idea who this guy is, but he speaks the truth!

Doubt it will gain much traction in #Russia but we can hope it goes viral in the Caucuses.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

Today more than 50 fresh civilian graves have been discovered just outside liberated #Lyman.

Locals say those suspected of being "disloyal" to #Russia were forced to collect the bodies. One man claims many of the bodies were in the streets for weeks and couldn't be identified.
In the early hours of today #Ukraine struck another blow to the Occupiers in #Kherson.

This is a video of the Ninel hotel in the city, where many of Russia's invaders are believed to have been staying.

Local Resistance continues to provide a steady stream of intel for the🇺🇦army
#Croatia and #Shakhtar legend Darijo Srna has absolutely eviscerated @FIFAcom over its attitude to #Ukraine

"I would like to invite FIFA to come live in #Ukraine" as he he says #UEFA helped us, #FIFA destroyed us.

@realmadriden v @FCShakhtar in 90 mins

marca.com/claro-mx/futbo…
Well #Shakhtar lost narrowly in Madrid, but relations remain very good between #Spain and #Ukraine.

The two countries, along with #Portugal, have combined for a joint bid to host the World Cup in 8 years.

#StandWithUkraine

#Ukraine allows publication of one of its units in #Kherson region coming under attack.

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)
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Plenty of smoke in #Donetsk on Monday evening.
Still no reports from the Occupiers as to what happened in the Occupied city.

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.

However with #Ukraine advances in #Kreminna and #Kherson region, they could rise again.

#Kyiv's forces likely also be suffering heavy daily losses

It's Sunday, it's also Day 221 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine

Here's the daily thread of news and views around the illegal war.

Yesterday was a memorable one, if you missed anything, scroll through Saturday's posts here:

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Updates from me may be a little delayed today due to my day job (commentating in Budapest), but doing my best!

The @IAEA continues to call for the release of the Director of #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, who's detained by #Russia.

@RafaelMGrossi is heading there this week
Today is the day #Russia's losses have gone past 60,000

All wasted lives, blood on the hands of one man, plus probably twice as many wounded, many disabled for life.

In the rout of #Lyman, #Ukraine also destroyed so much equipment yesterday:

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.

The daily🧵for the last day of September, Day 219 of #Russia's war. Today #Putin completes the land grab of 4 regions of #Ukraine

If we do nothing it will happen again. Appeasement is not an option.

Have spare £/$/€? Please donate, just 2 weeks left:

The big news of the day in #Ukraine is the murder of over 20 people in #Zaporizhzhia when a civilian convoy was hit by #Russia's missiles.

More on that in a moment, but if you missed anything yesterday, here's the link for Thursday's thread:

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

Quite a lot of late news yesterday. To catch up on what you missed, click and scroll through yesterday's 🧵

Some breaking news to start with and #Sweden says it has found a 4th leak on the Nord Stream pipeline.

Previously 3 leaks were found on the gas link from #Russia to #Germany, caused by sabotage.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
More threats on neighbours by #Russia

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"🤡
