A lot of interesting news came in late last night, including explosion and deaths at a gunpowder factory in #Russia and freedom for two more villages in #Kherson.
If you want to catch up on yesterday's stories, here's the start of Saturday's thread:
After some quiet days, numbers are moving up again quite rapidly in #Ukraine's daily total of losses incurred by #Russia in its' disastrous war.
Before the end of October we should reach 70,000 Russian troops killed.
2 more helicopters downed as well as many drones/missiles.
The US is raising the alarm about what will happen to world oil supplies and prices "in a few weeks" when Europe's sanctions fully bite at the Terrorist State.
A shadow fleet of tankers ready to try to bust the restrictions on #Russia's ships.
In Occupied #Enerhodar an hotel has been hit with 3 shells.
#Russia says an American M777 howitzer caused the devastation but they claim there are no victims.
The building is at the entrance to the town. Invaders have repeatedly taken over hotels in the occupied territories.
Last night #Ukraine arrested the owner of a well known manufacturing company Sich.
Security Services have now announced that Vyacheslav Bohuslaev and another employee are charged with collaboration with #Russia.
Media allege Sich illegally supplied goods for🇷🇺 attack aircraft.
#Ukraine shot down 16 more of #Iran's "Shahed-136" UAVs overnight, according to its Air Force Command.
11 of the "Kamikaze" attack drones were intercepted over #Mykolaiv oblast in particular, although the region suffered heavy damage in cruise missile attacks...
This time yesterday morning Kalibr cruise missiles hit critical infrastructure in #Mykolaiv, but this morning it was back to anti-aircraft S300 missiles used to hit residential buildings.
Here a 5 storey apartment block destroyed by #Russia
Overnight, the illegal administration in #Luhansk reported that 8 #HIMARS missiles had been fired on the Occupied territory.
Six were said to have arrived in #Novoaidar with others in #Zolote and #Svatove - yet somehow not one photo of damage or the downed American missiles.
A new dashcam video has been published on the internet showing the moment one of #Russia's military jets flew into a tower block in #Yeysk, #Krasnodar region last Monday.
15 people died in the incident.
#Bakhmut, #Donetsk region.
More shelling, more damage.
Little change in the front-line with #Russia supplying huge pressure from the south and east.
Also in #Zaporizhzhia, the armed forces of #Ukraine claim to have killed around 100 Russian fighters and destroyed 5 units of weapons + military equipment in strikes on #Russia's positions in the occupied part of the region.
The Scum count is really high right now.
This is #Russia's state propaganda news channel, still broadcast by many countries around the world, and not banned in #UK though no longer transmitted via satellite.
I've never seen helmet-cam footage of a pilot surviving being shot down. Here one of #Russia's air force serviceman ejecting moments from death in #Ukraine a few months ago.
Remember the #Israel strikes on #Syria a couple of days back? Straight after Israel refused to send defensive weapons to #Ukraine... well it may be the next best thing, destroying Russian weapons/drones before they even get their hands on them!
One of #Russia's best known war-propagandists, Semyon Pegov has been wounded in #Donetsk.
Founder of WarGonzo, he's previously been arrested for being drunk/abusive in a Moscow hotel, caught faking reports but has now supposedly just come round from surgery after this incident
Nothing to do with the war, but it did happen in #Moscow, at a warehouse for internet store Wildberries.
I shouldn't laugh, oh too late! LOL
More newly mobilised Russian troops enjoying life in the "second army of the world"
These conscripts say they were left in a hangar without food, water, electricity or heat.
Eyes on the war in Ukraine have been dragged from the frontlines to political battles in Kyiv. It's Day 2 of public protests against Zelenskyy's siding with a Soviet-era General against a young Defence Minister.
This is Friday's daily thread:
The People of Ukraine mobilised on to the streets yesterday, for the first time since forcing Zelenskyy to back down over his attempts to silence NABU, the anti-corruption agency.
But lots more news too on Thursday. Click the link to see what you missed
Please go easy on me today as I start the daily thread on Day 1604. I think I am suffering from DIMS.
Double Incompetent Management Syndrome - resulting in losing a football match and a very good, well respected reformer as Head of Ukraine's Ministry of Defence.
OK, let's go..
There's already huge fall out over the make up of 🇺🇦 new cabinet, particularly the sacking of Mykhailo Fedorov as Defence Min.
The rumours were true. Zelenskyy confirmed his decision last night.
Ukraine still had time to attack a 🇷🇺airbase.
Catch up here
Here's the more traditional link, back to the start of yesterday's thread. Saturday was a day which saw more Russian ships fail to outrun Ukraine's drones and the establishment of the "Magyar Triangle"
