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
It was quite a productive day for #Ukraine's Southern Command.
It claims to have "destroyed 4 warehouses with ammunition, 9 units with armoured vehicles and 6 more railway fuel tanks"
Now 74,000* Russian soldiers killed in battle. An inglorious end in an illegal war.
Huge numbers continue, the first 4 categories well above mean.
Many recently killed are newly forced conscripts as the mobilised are thrust to the frontline with little support.
*🇺🇦 Estimate
Update: I've just deleted the previous post about boats being hit by #Ukraine's attack near the #Antonivskyi bridge.
#Ukraine journalists now say this was NOT due to that attack, but a continuation of #Russia's occupiers sabotaging local small vessels in #Kherson.
Speaking of bridges, good news from #Kyiv region where one of the key bridges during #Russia's invasion has been restored.
As #Russia's occupiers continue to move as much as possible over the river #Dnipro in #Kherson region, it seems they've started sabotaging cell-phone towers west of the river.
Continuing the attempt to destroy anything that floats, or may do so in future, explosions have been reported at the Kuybyshev Ship Repair Yard in #Kherson. Smoke started to rise soon after.
Welcome to November, which becomes the 46th different month to see fighting in Ukraine
And yet Russia is nowhere near its aim of Kyiv in 3 days.
Indeed 1,344 days behind schedule as we start today's thread on Day 1347 of the full invasion
Please think about sending a KoFi💙💛
Friday saw a lot of damage in Russia, an attempted counter-attack in Pokrovsk, Trump blank Orbán, power cuts in Moscow and so much more.
Clicking here⬇️will take you to the start of yesterday's🧵. Scroll through, catch-up then remember to come back here
Hello again, on Day 1346 of the war.
Russia's genocidal war, that's both the intent and the reality as Ukraine fights to keep not only democracy, independence and freedom but also to avoid its culture and language being eradicated.
This is THE daily thread. Happy Hallowe'en
Due to various different events, I am still awake & instead of adding to y'day's thread, I thought it best to start a new one, then get some sleep.
First, the link for Thursday's🧵which started with Russia's mass missile attack but ended with🇺🇦 attacking
Russia will not stop until it's stopped.
The war ends the moment Russia leaves.
Russia lies repeatedly (we won't invade Ukraine, we didn't kill Litvinenko, didn't kill 300 on MH17, didn't use Novichok in the UK etc etc)
We MUST NOT trust Putin.
Day 1345. Here's my daily thread
It's proved a very difficult morning for Ukraine, especially in the west. Russia tried to ensure misery and destruction, hits everyone across Ukraine.
At dawn missiles rained down, the start of the overnight attack was covered at the end of yesterday's🧵
It's Day 1336 of Russia's full invasion, but that only started because the world didn't provide a deterrent almost 12 years ago when Putin first tested the west's response by invading Crimea
The west failed the test. Are we about to fail the biggest exam too?
It's Tim's daily🧵
There was a big drone attack on western Russia last night, with Rostov in particular feeling the heat
There was also plenty of heat again on Russia's largest gas facility, the Georgian 'government' doing Russia's fascist work, and an a tragedy in Kherson
An explosive start to Day 1334 of Russia's 10-day operation to erase Ukraine from the map.
Not quite #EATP for Putin.
An early start to Sunday's thread as we have news from central and eastern Russia.
All the news, all the time, every damn day. Here we go again!
So much happened yesterday and the fireworks really started in the last couple of hours.
Do yourself a favour and have a quick skim through what you missed from Saturday's news about Ukraine's battle for survival. Incredibly only 14,000 views😳🫣
