Day 225
This is the start of the daily news thread for Thursday 6 October 2022, with all things connected to #Russia's war in #Ukraine.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

You'll find yesterday's thread here:
Sorry to keep pushing this, but only 8 days remaining in the fundraiser and not one pledge yesterday😥

Anyone donating over 200 GBP will get personalised thank you photo from #Ukraine's soldiers at the front.
Let's have a big push please.

crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-ukraine…
#USA, #UK + #EU give a lot to #Ukraine's war effort, but the biggest donator to the 🇺🇦 army may well be #Russia (seriously)

"We've got so many trophies we don't know what to do with them."

#Kharkiv under attack - infrastructure has been hit again in the city in north-east #Ukraine.

#Russia struck the Osnovyansky District, a subsequent fire has broken out. Local channels report Iran's kamikaze drones may again be to blame.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
More incremental advances from #Ukraine in both #Luhansk and #Kherson regions and more likely today.

@TheStudyofWar says the #Kharkiv advance has not yet culminated. Indeed, I think we could well see #Svatove attacked and possibly liberated in the next 24 hours.
Contrasting reports in #Odesa.
Some say air defence has protected the city, but others report multiple items hitting #Odessa.

It does seem as if #Iran's kamikaze drones may have penetrated. Russians claim they've hit the Operational Command HQ of the South Unit.

#StopRussia
There is reported to be a big explosion in #Nikopol also tonight.

In recent months the #Ukraine held town, just over the river from the Nuclear Plant at #Enerhodar, has been one of the heaviest hit in the whole of the country.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Also noisy in #Kherson oblast with #Ukraine hitting the invaders.

A former boarding school reported to have been hit in the city - likely a base for #Russia's troops.

In addition a military warehouse in #NovaKakhovka has been hit (unconfirmed)
Definitely no panic😉
Thank you Michael Bruk in Illinois, who is by far the biggest supporter of our campaign to raise money for winter gear for #Ukraine's army (see pinned tweet).

He's just donated another £400 - magnificent!

See my pinned tweet or earlier in this thread for details/link
Another "unfortunate" derailing in a city in #Russia known to have a strong rebellious streak!

This is #Yekaterinburg #EKB - lines blocked for quite a while after this 'accident' yesterday.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
The London update makes pleasant reading for Ukrainians!

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome #SlavaUkraini
At least 2 people have died in attacks on #Zaporizhzhia this morning.

Rescuers are still at the scene and fear more people may be under rubble Of the residential buildings.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Russia's war losses (estimated by #Ukraine)

All the first four categories remain slightly above the mean.

#StopRussia
More from #Russia's terrorist attack on #Zaporizhzia now.

Video of the site where civilians were trapped under rubble.
#StandWithUkraine️
Sometimes you just have to shake your head in pity.

To try to emphasise his point Elon Musk chooses to show a map from 10 years ago, before #Russia had invaded(twice), held 5 'referenda' at gunpoint /, caused 100,000+ needless deaths.

Sheer propaganda!

Wow guys, great work.
My fundraiser sailed way over £4,000 overnight and this morning thanks to regular donations.
Thanks to Irina, Maggie, Joris, Thomas and extra 💙💛for David, Richard and Constance for incredible generosity to help #Ukraine's brave soldiers.
(see pinned tweet)
#Ukraine's National Security Secretary, Oleksiy Danilov, claims twice as many people are fleeing #Russia as being call-up since mobilsation began.

"We know the number of citizens of conscription age who left the Russian Federation is twice the number of those mobilised."
The frontline in #Donetsk continues to shift.

#Ukraine's army has today confirmed "active hostilities began in the area of ​​the villages of #Pervomaiske, #Vodyane and #Kamianka"

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Rare shelling of #Khmelnytskyi in west #Ukraine happened in the early hours today.

#Russia fired 2 rockets into the region. One fell near an infrastructure object in the Shepetivskyi district. Another landed in wasteland. Authorities report no injuries.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
In #Melitopol smoke seen rising to the north of the town.

Big explosions were heard in the morning, the Occupiers have not released any details yet.

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine
Another body has been found and recovered from the rubble of the apartment block in #Zaporizhzhia which was destroyed by #Russia's strikes early this morning.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWIthUkraine
#Ukraine continues to attack #Kherson where #Russia's defences are stretched.

A number of strikes today, including on the #Antonivskyi bridge again, in the town of #Oleshky and here another boarding school suspected to be used as a base by the occupiers.

#RussiansGoHome
... and here's a photo reportedly of the explosion at the #Anonivskyi bridge in #Kherson this lunchtime.

From the picture it looks like #Ukraine has targeted the pontoon bridge under the main structure, which was already out of use.

#SlavaUkraini
#Ukraine's army confirms the liberation of another village in #Kherson oblast.

This was recorded at #Tryfonivka in the east of the region.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
Wow. One of the most hated figures for Ukrainians since 1st Russian invasion in 2014 was "Motorola"

Portrayed a 'local' hero by pro-Russians, the reality is he's from 2400km away.
Killed in 2016, today a memorial in his home city of #Ukhta was vandalised

Three kamikaze drones shot down over #Odesa region, according to #Ukraine.

No reports of any damage that I've seen.

#Odessa #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Russia seems to have a massive shortage of basic equipment for its newly mobilised conscripts.

#Ukraine's Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov says Moscow tried to buy 500k winter clothing sets and 200k bulletproof vests from #Turkiye

The Turks are said to have turned them down.
Officials in #Kursk region of #Russia says a man has died after suspected shelling by #Ukraine.

The 72 year old is believed to have suffered a heart attack when 10 rockets allegedly landed in the village of #Tetkino

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Earlier this evening an arsonist set fire to two cars in central #Moscow.

One exploded outside the Federation Tower.

The reason is not known but Russian police say they've arrested the perpetrator.

#RussiaOnFire
Warning: disturbing video

Claims tonight that #Russia is using chemical weapons in #Kherson oblast. The video allegedly shows soldiers affected by the pesticide Chloropicrin, with eyes bleeding.

However, I have to say the video doesn't look convincing to me, could be a fake?

Finally, here is the thread for Day 226 of #Russia's illegal war on #Ukraine.

Apologies for the last start, so much going on, chatting to people in Ukraine, planning for the fundraiser and tennis work too!

To check yesterday's news, scroll here⬇️

More criticism of #Russia's war effort and lack of training/discipline was highlighted earlier today by the British daily update:

#StandWithUkraine #StopPutin Image
Following Boxing's Governing Body taking the incredulous decision to readmit fighters from #Russia and #Belarus, the sport could be heading for a split.

#Sweden outright refuses to attend any tournament featuring boxers from 🇷🇺or🇧🇾. The next event is in Montenegro next week!

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

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.
