The bodies of 10 more civilians killed by #Russia in this war were found yesterday. Details coming up.

If you need to catch up on yesterday's news, scroll through the stories here:

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Having listened to all of #Putin's speech yesterday, it was clear his intention was to portray the US (and allies) as aggressors, and how #Russia only wanted peace.

The world's heard this before.
Putin playing games, seeing how long he can copy his hero

#Putler #WarCriminal
So #Putin sneers as he sends his country's fathers, sons and brothers to die in their tens of thousands in a pointless, illegal war.

Tomorrow will almost certainly see #Russia's soldiers killed in #Ukraine reach 70,000

The number of helicopters shot down now tops 250.
Today's #UK Intel update is interesting.

It confirms the thought that #Russia has already "dug in" for winter.

The only place #Ukraine seems in danger of losing ground is in #Donetsk, specifically around #Bakhmut though #Ukraine has strong defensive positions.
If you want a few more stats on #Russia's war losses, you can always delve into @ragnarbjartur's mine of information!

#SaveUkraine #RussiansGoHome

So yesterday 10 more civilians' bodies were recovered in #Ukraine and 12 were injured.

One of the murdered was in #Zaporizhzhia, the other 9 victims were in #Donetsk. Four of these died y'day, but the bodies of 5 people who died during occupation, were found in Shandryholove.
Overnight in Europe, seems #China continued its policy of trying to placate both sides.

Yesterday a speech from Xi warming to the US, today to #Russia.

I guess words don't matter. Watch the actions.

More damage and misery inflicted on #Ukraine overnight and as usual #Nikopol was targeted.

Head of #Dnipropetrovsk region, Valentyn Reznichenko says "Russians set fire to three communities - Nikopol, #Marhanets and #Chervonohrihoriv" but he also said there were no injuries.
Today is the 78th anniversary of #Ukraine's liberation from Nazis... except five regions are back under total or partial occupation by a new fascist aggressor.

#CrimeaIsUkraine #Kherson #Zaporizhzhia #Luhansk #Donetsk

In #Mykolaiv (RU: #Nikolaev) one person was injured when #Russia fired S-300 anti aircraft missiles.

One civilian was injured. Officials say a 3-storey administrative building was destroyed and a neighbouring newly-built high-rise building was damaged.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
One of the survivors of #Mariupol says he lost 63kg while a Prisoner of War.

Yuriy Madin, deputy commander of the #Donetsk border detachment, was trapped in #Azovstal for 3 months before the surrender.

vchasnoua.com/donbass/74253-…
Another spectacular own-goal or "gesture of goodwill" from #Russia.

Media report a soldier in #Arkhangelsk has run over a group of mobilised conscripts in a KAMAZ truck.
Two have died, 11 more are injured.

Unconfirmed
Disgusted but not surprised. Why does a steward in #Cyprus confiscate a fan's message that #RussiaIsATerroristState?

Thx @AngryFil

Strange incidents in Occupied #Kherson

First, explosions heard this lunchtime.
No news for a while but in the last few minutes #Russia has claimed #Ukraine's missiles hit a cancer treatment centre.

Is it coincidence that 2 days ago reports Russia stole cancer gear here?
2/2

Now burning near the police station in #Kherson.

It's in the car park attached to the Occupiers' cop shop. This could easily be an electrical fault - it's a restricted area, but in the present circumstances the chance of it being sabotage by #Ukraine Patriots is high.
I just learned the Ukrainian word for Blackout.
it's "Blekaut"😁

Electricity is a little more stable today but #Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klichko says it will take 2-3 weeks to repair the power infrastructure.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Now time for the #NorwaySpy update!

Norwegian police have revealed the fake Brazilian spying in the country is really #Russia national Mikhail Valerievich Mikushin, aged 44.

He's already been preliminarily charged.

Yet another firebomb attack on an army mobilisation centre in #Russia

This time a Molotov cocktail was thrown at the enlistment office in #Kemerovo

A man has been arrested.

#RussiaOnFire
#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
Iranians living in #Ukraine are staging a demonstration in the centre of #Kyiv.

They're protesting against #Iran's involvement in the war - supplying kamikaze drones to #Russia.

#BloodyLovers #FascismCanBeDifferent
How #Russia is doing everything it can to cause the removal of #Moldova's pro-western leader.

Great article by @CatherineBelton

More nutty design adaptations from the invaders.

#Russia says mobilisation has finally ended, with the target of 300,000 new conscripts reached.

"No further mobilisation is planned" says Defence Minister Sergey Shoigu.

I'm willing to bet there will still be examples of call-ups in the coming weeks.
The Head of #Simferopol office of a Russian newspaper has been killed in "by a stray bullet"

Svetlana Babaeva of #Russia Segodnya, died on a training grounds in Occupied #Crimea. She was taking part in sports shooting when she was shot.

Russians continue to kill each other
#Russia state new agency reports:
"In #Geneva, the Orthodox Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was daubed with red paint, the embassy said."

#StopRussia
#Russia is still refusing to confirm that a conscript ran over 20 newly mobilised soldiers in #Mirny, #Arkhangelsk oblast.

However media have named the driver as 22yo Israpil Abkherdilaev, with some suggesting it's another ethnic-religious conflict

29.ru/text/incidents…
Also reports in #Volgograd that a mobilised recruit had 4 fingers cut off and his hand mutilated in a fight at another training ground. An officer was also said to have suffered a broken nose in the incident, with riot police called in.

#Russia

#Russia's national football team plans to play its first match since the ban following its illegal invasion of #Ukraine.

The Russians are due to play a friendly against Tajikistan on 17 November.

Will #Ukraine or others will object and will Tajikistan face sanction?
Seven people reported dead in #Belgorod region after an horrific accident.

Three more were injured when a minibus carrying workers from a local saw-mill smashed in to a field truck parked up at the side of the road.
Also in #Russia a dashcam caught the moment of a huge explosion 50km north of #Moscow.

This blast in #Dmitrov is said to have been caused by "a short circuit at a substation near a local gas station."
One more road incident in #Russia to report as a burning car without a driver drove straight at people in #Dagestan.

Bystanders dived for cover in the town of #Derbent

A short circuit in the wiring is also blamed here - which seems a little less likely.
The exiled Governor of #Luhansk, @TXlrgA0vCNNaf1G has told #Ukraine TV that they "practically control the whole route between #Svatove and #Kreminna. For now, we will not name the settlements.. but let the General Staff do it."

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
A Tatar Crimean journalist is held 16 hours in #Turkey because of a malicious Interpol red notice by #Russia.

Just another way the petty autocrats prove they eliminate freedom and #RussiaIsATerroristState.

Russia should be removed from Interpol.

A #Ukraine army unit claims to have killed the Deputy Chief of Staff of the infamous #Wagner mercenary group, during fighting in east Ukraine.

Day 2️⃣4️⃣8️⃣
Here is the daily #Ukraine news thread for Saturday 29 October, documenting the important news around #Russia's war of choice on its neighbour.

Missed something y'day? Need a round up? Scroll here:

This is worth another outing as it only just made the cut on yesterday's thread.

One of the #Wagner 'big guns' has been eliminated in #Ukraine amid reports up to 200 mercenaries may have been killed or captured in this incident

As yet unconfirmed.

Yesterday #Russia declared mobilisation finished with 300,000 poor souls forcibly called up.

But wait... a Russian 'war blogger' quoting 🇷🇺 MOD sources says the real figure of frontline fodder is 700,000
And the only reason they paused drafting is because of lack of transport! Image

Hello and welcome to an early start to the daily thread for Day 246 of #Russia's war.

Once again #Ukraine is under attack this Thursday morning, but in general air defence looks to be performing slightly better each day.

All the news, updated in real time throughout the day⬇️
Last night the wave of attack drones started entering #Ukraine air space and some missiles fired by #Russia too.

#Dnipropetrovsk #Zaporizhzhia and #Odesa all had reports of strikes - you can read all about those & anything else you missed yesterday here:

The reports of a drone hitting in #Kyiv oblast have now been confirmed.

Regional Head Oleksiy Kuleba says "The enemy attacked one of the communities of the region. The fire is being extinguished. There are no injuries."

Day 2⃣4⃣5⃣ of #Russia's illegal war in #Ukraine.

All the news, views and analysis in one handy thread, updated throughout the day.

And if you missed anything yesterday, here's the link:

Today Britain's Ministry of Defence highlights the work of saboteurs on #Russia's rail network - and I've another example of this in the next tweet.

UK Intel points out the problems the Kremlin can be caused by individuals or small groups damaging railways.

#StopRussia
Recently in #Bashkortostan they've found another way to sabotage #Russia's rail network, and no explosives are needed.

Forcing open relay boxes and setting light to them will severely hamper the movement of freight for a while. These boxes control automated signalling etc.

Hello Day 244 and here's the start of another daily thread covering #Russia's illegal war of aggression in #Ukraine.

For the second successive night no widespread bombing or use of attack drones.

There was still a lot of news yesterday, catch up here:

In the early hours this morning the @TheStudyofWar published its daily report/review. Relying on the @ukrpravda_news interview with #Ukraine's Military intelligence chief I tweeted in yesterday's thread, ISW suggests a high-level split in the #Kremlin.

understandingwar.org/backgrounder/r…
A leap in some categories in #Russia's losses today. 3 x Ka-52 attack helicopters in a day, which UK Intel notes in the next tweet.

Tanks destroyed also well above the mean again, possibly due to #Ukraine's partial counter in #Bakhmut and fierce RU resistance in #Beryslav

Eight months ago today #Russia did what it promised the world it would not do, and invaded a peaceful country.

Over 100,000 deaths later, the fight to protect democracy and freedom continues. #Ukraine will prevail.

This is the daily news thread for Day 243 of #PutinsWar
Sorry for the late start, today's like my Sunday, including a lie-in!

Sunday itself was a crazy day with a lot of news and a bumper thread. If you want to catch up, scroll through here:

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Day 243 is the day the #UK is likely to get a defacto new leader.

This month's Prime Minister will be Rishi Sunak. A poisoned chalice; I suspect Boris bides his time for a post-election-defeat leadership bid.

Sunak's been the least vociferous on #Russia but nothing will change

It's Day 242 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine - you know that war where Moscow bragged it would be in Kyiv in 3 days and have control on Day 4.

This is the daily news thread of all the relevant developments as we complete the 8th month of the illegal conflict.

#StandWithUkraine️
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:

The #UK update today takes a look at the "Wagner Line" of defence.

I covered this a few days ago and Whitehall also concludes #Russia has accepted that its defence needs to be way behind current front lines.
