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.
This is the start of THE daily thread covering all things Ukraine.
Reliable, accurate information for 1124 days as Russia and its willing accomplices (Iran, North Korea and MAGA-land) try to destroy Ukraine, its culture and its democracy to make it a vassal state.
Here's the🧵
Yesterday started with shocking lies and propaganda from the White House and ended with another massive attack by Russia, knowing tRUmp and co don't mind at all.

The war Russia inflicted on Ukraine enters Day 1120
Ukraine, a country which never invaded another, never killed anyone abroad; a fully democratic nation where only one President has ever won a second term in office.
Here's THE daily thread for Wednesday, with all the news.
Yesterday was all about the ritual humiliation of tRUmp, dished out by Putin, and the US president's brain being too rusty to realise.
I also indulged in a long sub-thread on my fears about what's happening in Washington DC.
Catch up here:
It's official. tRUmp's supposed skill at making a deal is absolutely RANK
Russia
Afghanistan
NK (North Korea)
#TraitorTrump promised a deal with his mate in NK, got nothing.
He handed the Taliban everything, got nothing.
Now, ending the war in 24 hours turned into humiliation
Putin, the aggressor, the war criminal, presiding over countless heinous crimes, executions, kidnapping of children, is about to be given a pass by Donald J Trump.
The despot and the wannabe talk today.
This is THE daily thread
Yesterday saw an explosive end to a day which started with mystery surrounding a Ukraine hit in Russia, and moved through the thread with some harrowing and shocking tales and scenes from Kherson.
Welcome to my daily thread, covering all things #Ukraine every single day since even before the first day of Russia's full invasion.
This is Day 1110 of Putin's long promised land grab - he's also pledged to reunite the rest of the USSR.
More atrocities overnight, let's begin:
For those loving people who urge me to get more sleep, you will be pleased to know there was no alarm this morning; I am refreshed and ready to tackle JD TRussia again.
A busy Friday ended with news of the awful attack in free Donetsk, catch up here:
Today sees the completion of 3 years of full scale war unleashed by #Russia on #Ukraine.
As signs point to an end to this war relatively soon, the ONLY question which should be asked is: are you happy to reward war-criminal terrorists with land?
Here's THE daily thread:
It's Day 1096 of #Russia 's war.
If you missed anything yesterday, catch up on Saturday's news here:
1/2 The #UK is in full focus today.
As @Keir_Starmer prepares to fly to Washington, new sanctions will be unveiled tomorrow.
Foreign Sec @DavidLammy says it will be "the largest package of sanctions against #Russia since the early days of the war eroding its military machine."
Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.
Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.
On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:
