Wednesday 2 November.
Day 252 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.

You know the format for the daily thread by now - all the news and analysis, throughout the day. And if you missed anything yesterday, take a peek here:

Here's the daily update from British Intelligence, concentrating on #Russia's mercenary #Wagner unit.

#StopRussia
I saw this photo a few days ago on a busy day, so worth highlighting now. It really is remarkable the standard of some of #Ukraine's longer term bases created, and this isn't the only one just for the cameras.

This is the state of the Catherine The Great monument in #Odesa today.

The more #Russia tries to kill or freeze Ukrainians, the more stoic they become.

#Odessa #Ukraine
#Ukraine's air defence has had a good night and morning.

In #Kyiv 6 "killer" drones were downed, while in #Odesa
defense forces managed to stop three Kh-59 cruise missiles fired from Su-30 aircraft.

Recent western donations are having a big effect now.

#SaveUkraine
Another huge number* of #Russia's soldiers lost their lives in the pointless war, massaging #Putin's ego.

800 more dead on the battlefield, the 2nd highest daily number, resulting from pinpoint missile strikes on military bases plus ground offensives from both sides

*🇺🇦estimate
One of #Iran's kamikaze drones which did hit a target in #Ukraine overnight, landed in #Cherkasy.

Two other UAVs were shot down, but one hit civilian infrastructure.

No injuries there; by contrast 10 were injured in a car accident in #Cherkassy this morning.
More anger among newly mobilised cannon fodder even before they sacrifice themselves for #Putin.

This unconfirmed video showing discontent from the forcibly called up after learning the promised "immediate payment of 300,000 rubles" won't actually happen.

#StopRussia
#Russia is summoning the British ambassador as they try to continue the bizarre claims that the UK was behind both sabotaging the NordStream pipelines and attacks on the city of #Sevastopol on occupied #Crimea.

#StandWithUkraine
I am loathe to report NYT these days due to its repeated unreliable "unnamed sources" and often ill-informed writers. However as it's an important topic and will be discussed elsewhere, here it is:

nytimes.com/2022/11/02/us/…
Having completed its fence on the border with #Belarus, work has now started in #Poland on strengthening the border with #Russia.

"A fence 2.5m high and 3m wide will consist of three rows of fences. We care about security" said Polish Defence Minister Marius Blaschak.
A bit more detail on the damage to #Russia's ships in #Sevastopol during the weekend 'drone' attack.

Moscow had already admitted damage to the frigate.

Police in #Mykolaiv release photos of recent attacks on the region - one person was injured in shelling of #Halytsyn yesterday.

This morning, #Russia also fired at a residential building in #Pervomaiska community, there were no casualties.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #Nikolaev
LOL!
#Russia' bluff having been called by #Turkey, the #UN and #Ukraine, Putin again backs down.

The kremlin has just announced "a resumption" of the Black Sea grain deal and safe corridor for export of grain from southern Ukrainian ports.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Two people have died in another #RussiaOnFire incident.

An explosion in #Armavir in #Krasnodar region is said to have ignited bitumen residue.

Two people died.
I think this is a different protest from mobilised Russians to the one I showed earlier in the thread. But again demanding the payment they were promised.

It's from the Republic of #Chuvash, about 10 hours due east of Moscow.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
Over 1,000 bodies were already found in #Ukraine territory, previously occupied by #Russia.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia

Another village in #Russia was shelled this morning.

This time it was #Guevo in #Kursk oblast, just 1-2km from the border with #Ukraine

Local officials say 5 people suffered minor injuries. The village is still without power

#StandWithUkraine
I stand with Ivan, and all Ukrainians.

There are an incredible number of offensive, racist and/or ill-informed people, who by design or not, say exactly what Putin wants them to.

After a lot of flack and protests, @Gap is finally planning to leave #Russia.
The fashion retailer has 11 shops in the Terrorist State, 10 in #Moscow and one in #StPetersburg.

#StopRussia
#Russia announces a "new record in grain harvest" of 150 million tons.

What the Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin did not say was how much of that haul was stolen from occupied lands in #Ukraine.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #RussiansGoHome
The interactive @scratch education team has been told it must change its registration process to avoid being blocked in #Russia.

The Terrorist State is peeved that a user can select something other than male or female when asked for gender😅😅
I've long been unhappy about the way things are run in the #Ukraine region of #Dnipropetrovsk with widespread accusations of corruption.

Now the Head of the region stands accused by @ukrpravda_news and here, of illegally enriching a companion:

* WARNING - body in video *

One person has died after shells landed in occupied #Donetsk.

This video was taken shortly after rockets hit the Kirovsky district of the #Donbas city.

#Ukraine #Donbass
⚡️Breaking⚡️

#USA says #NorthKorea is secretly shipping "a significant number" of artillery shells to #Russia to help its war on #Ukraine.

So #Iran and #NorthKorea join Russia - a lovely collection of terrorist states!
At least six more missiles have hit the #Antonivskyi bridge or near the structure in occupied #Kherson.

#Russia's state news agency confirms the news, claiming 12 of 18 rockets were shot down.

Just one murky photo so far...

#SlavaUkraini #Antonovsky
Here's more on the breaking story that #NorthKorea is sending artillery shells to #Russia.

The shipments are disguised as heading to Africa or Asia according to the White House.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

edition.cnn.com/2022/11/02/pol…
There are horrific numbers of deaths on the frontline on both sides of the war right now.

But #Russia seems to be losing an incredible amount of senior officers. The latest to die is Commander of a helicopter unit, Lieutenant Colonel Vyacheslav Zangyev.

More from the strikes in occupied #Kherson region.

#Ukraine has hit the main bridge as I posted an hour or so ago. In addition, locals report a fuel dump has been struck in #Chornobaivka!

#RussiansGoHome #KhersonIsUkraine
And this is reported to be a video of the latest strike on the #Antonivskyi bridge in occupied #Kherson.

I can't verify it, but I'm fairly sure it's genuine. Time stamp and weather check out.

#SaveUkraine #RussiansGoHome
With forced deportations happening all the time in #Kherson especially, by the time you read this 10,000 children of #Ukraine will have been kidnapped by #Russia

Putin doesn't care about killing his own people, but he knows they need to build population.

childrenofwar.gov.ua
More explosions in #Kherson region.

Six missiles thought to have hit around #NovaKakhovka and #Kakhovka near the hydroelectric plant.
Here you can see separate fires and explosions seemingly near the plant.

#RussiansGoHome
Footage has been released of big #Ukraine strikes on Russian positions in occupied #Zaporizhzhia

This has been one of the big hits causing a spike in the high death numbers the last couple of days.
Locals say over 100 were taken by the Occupiers to hospitals.

#StopRussia
this missed the thread, so posting here again:

This is interesting.
Look what turned up in occupied #Kherson...

Fanta made in #Iran. So not only weapons which the repressive middle east state is helping #Russia with.

#StopIran #StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
In #Kherson the paranoia and worry of the Russians is increasingly evident.

Unbelievably the Occupants have been going round harbours and shooting all private boats to make sure they're not able to be used.

📷Konstantin Ryzhenko
#RussiaIsATerroristState
In #Kharkiv 3 missiles have hit the city.

The Kyivsky region was struck, including "an administrative, non residential building.

No information yet about possible victims.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
In #Belgorod, explosions were heard a while ago.

No news from #Russia's officials yet about what was the cause.
In #Dnipropetrovsk region, locals get excited when air defence takes down a drone:

Hello again. The daily #Russia thread is here with all the details from the Terrorist State's unprovoked war on #Ukraine

Thursday is Day 253

Here's yesterday's thread to peruse at your leisure including stories on Russia sabotaging private fishing boats

The @IAEA has a busy day. The nuclear watchdog's report into #Russia's allegations of #Ukraine making a dirty bomb may be out today

But problems at the huge #Zaporizhzhia plant where the last power line's been cut by shelling today. Just 15 days' fuel left for backup generators
#Russia is so well resources and prepared for the winter phase of its war of choice, that it continues to beg, borrow & steal.

Occupied parts of #Ukraine plundered,
Iran providing food/drink and they & North Korea sending missiles, while #Belarus is giving vehicles says UK Intel Image

You've found the start of another daily thread covering the war in #Ukraine.

It's the 251st thread since #Russia's illegal invasion.
The fight for sovereignty and freedom continues.

All the news & analysis in one place.
ICYMI, Monday's stories are here:
I'll start with a couple of curious updates from stories which broke yesterday...

First the case of one of #Russia's richest men who gave up his citizenship saying he couldn't be a part of a fascist country.

But Oleg Tinkov, who now lives in London, has since deleted this post
Next I am concerned about what's happening to the ships which left #Ukraine's ports yesterday despite #Russia suspending its agreement in grain export.

A flotilla of grain-laden vessels seem to have all turned off transponders, either continuing incognito or anchored off 🇺🇦coast

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.

Sunday 30 Oct and this is the first post in the daily thread covering events in #Ukraine.

Day 249 of #Russia's war

For all yesterday's news on an extraordinary day, scroll through here:

There's still no firm information about y'day's incident in #Sevastopol

Best guess is that three ships were hit in the suspected drone attack in #Crimea.

The Admiral Makarov is still suspected to be damaged along with frigate Admiral Hryhorovych and minesweeper "Ivan Golubets"
Seems like only yesterday #Russia's losses on the battlefield* hit 70,000 and today 71,000

Easily a new record number of #Putin's troops dying in a single day. The numbers helped by the massive strike on a Wagner unit near Bakhmut.

*estimated by #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!

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
