A new week begins and a bit of a landmark day in #Russia's war as we reach Day 250.
This is the start of the 250th daily thread, with accurate news from #Ukraine. It's still strangely quiet so far, but if you missed yesterday's updates, here's the link:

#Russia's police have opened two cases against Sergey Mamontov for this horrific incident.
The regional branch of the "United Russia" party has said he will be expelled.

#Ukraine's state energy company tells civilians there will be no quick end to power cuts.
Indeed, residents are warned rationing will continue throughout winter and may get worse if #Russia's strikes continue.
People are urged to always have essentials/power banks etc charged.

Dutch high-tech companies are unknowingly supplying crucial building blocks for #Putin's war machine in #Ukraine.
Important story, highlighted to me by @VelvetBlade, who points out it's almost certain to be happening elsewhere too.

Tomorrow #Russia is scheduled to begin it's Autumn draft of Conscripts.
But the Defence Ministry in #Moscow has pledged that none of the new draft will be sent to #Ukraine.
Pity the random newly mobilised reading this, many of whom arrived at the front with no training or food

A #Ukraine flag, signed by President Zelensky and Defence Minister Zaluzhny was sold at auction in the US for $69,000.

An horrendous, sustained attack on #Ukraine today as #Russia tries to ensure the civilian population will freeze and starve this winter.
Numerous power and critical infrastructure facilities have been hit in the nationwide strikes.
Here the #Dnipro power station in Zaporizhzhia

#Ukraine claims 50 cruise missiles were fired by #Russia and 44 were shot down. That looks far too optimistic right now unless a lot of debris fell and looks like successful strikes.
Each one is a warcrime.
Many places are without water as well as electricity.

More huge numbers in the daily total of #Russia's troops killed (published by #Ukraine)
The number of tanks is high and the 32 APVs destroyed is extraordinary.
This is reflecting the battles in #Donetsk more than #Kherson right now.

As the spokesman for #Odesa region points out, #Russia has, in one morning, spent around half a billion dollars on missiles to attack #Ukraine's people. That's the annual budget of a major city.
18 power facilities are known to have been hit.
Plenty of missiles were shot down:

There was not one military target today.
As well as the pre-ordained withdrawal from the grain-export agreement, the theft of other produce, also this:

A very important and factually correct thread on the embarrassment that is now @amnesty.
All the good work ever done is being sullied by the current leadership. Regional centres such as @AmnestyUK should rebel.
Still no promised report into bias either!

So many smaller stories are being overlooked because of the terror tactics by #Russia again today.
But this is very interesting and would normally be big headlines. Two attack helicopters destroyed at #Pskov airfield and 2 more damaged in 'a blast'

It's looking very much like a bid for the Presidency of #Russia by the owner of the #Wagner mercenary group.
Yevgeniy Prigozhin has the pro-war group in his pocket. "Putin's Chef" managed to get the removal of General Lapin last week, proving his power over Defence Ministry

Until 2 months ago Prigozhin was a somewhat shadowy figure even denying links to #Wagner
But he his own publicity department and it's been active trying to ensure all of #Russia known who he is. Recently demanding Telegram and YouTube be blocked for "unpatriotic" material

Now Prigozhin starts personal attacks on leading politicians, trying to portray himself as anti-corruption - laughable as he owes everything to #Putin.
He's accused the Gov of St Petersburg of embezzlement and order the Prosecutor General to investigate Aleksandr Beglov.

#Ukraine's Prosecutor General has charged a man from #Luhansk with treason and planning murders of high profile figures.
He was arrested in west Ukraine a couple of months ago. Among his intended assassinations were the Defence Minister, Intelligence Head + a former Azov leader.

Purely flag waving and great publicity for #Ukraine to highlight the war crimes being committed.
As I've said in these threads, #Iran won't be expelled. And if they were, replacement should be from Asian qualifying, so #UAE or #Peru (lost playoff to Aus)

Another helicopter also crashed in #Donetsk region earlier - this belonged to #Ukraine.
It was well behind the front line in #Kostyantynivka (RU: #Konstantinovka) and not shot down - likely a fault. The pilot ejected and survived.

At least one person has been injured in an explosion in occupied #Berdyansk.
However, even witnesses seem to agree it was nothing to do with the war, with a gas leak blamed for the huge blast in Zemska, heard all over the city.

#Russia's missile which fell inside #Moldova which I reported on earlier had been shot down by #Ukraine.
It landed in the village of #Naslavcea on the Ukrainian border; windows were shattered.

Remarkable video of how locals helped rescue a Director of an admin building at one of the substations smashed in this morning's attack by #Russia
This was in #Kyiv region; residents started to dig the man from the rubble until emergency crews arrive. He's recovering in hospital

What a guy!
Amid ongoing powercuts in #Ukraine, one guy in capital #Kyiv is helping.
Using a generator, he's offering people the chance to charge phones and powerbanks during the blackout.
This is in #Podil district, by the big wheel familiar to visitors.

Today I wrote about #Prigozhin's aspirations to replace #Putin if the Terrorist leader is forced to resign, or dies.
He's come a long way from "chef", via Troll Factories to #Wagner and this. Rest assured dirty money used to build this too.

#Russia continues its gestures of goodwill..
This happened this evening in Yerga in #Kemerovo oblast. Training of the newly mobilised looks to be going well then!
A mass brawl erupted at a military base; the person filming can't believe what he's seeing, calling them animals.

Two more of #Russia's helicopters have been hit in quick succession this evening, claims #Ukraine.
The Ka-52 "Alligators" were both downed within 3 minutes near #Beryslav in the #Kherson region.
They were struck by the #Odesa command.

#Russia's helicopter losses today amount to around $100 million
Costing about $16m each, three have been shot down in #Ukraine
Two more destroyed in a mystery explosion at an airfield in NW Russia + another two damaged.
The ones in #Pskov were not air worthy, undergoing repair

This time St Petersburg. But no suspicion over this one. A domestic gas explosion it seems.
At least 30 cars damaged, such was the size of the blast.
