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.
Hello again. Day 860 of #Russia's all-out war on #Ukraine, but for newcomers, we only got here because the west did nothing when Putin tried to subvert democracy in 2013/4 & invaded #Crimea and east Ukraine in Feb 2014.
Let's start another daily thread - not a single day off!
Monday was another busy thread.
More signs #RussiaIsCollapsing, big blackouts and record losses for the invader.
In occupied #Ukraine there was an important hit on #Crimea, and how drones hit a moving train used by Russia.
What times we live in.
#Russia takes over the revolving Presidency of the UN Security Council, while Putin's biggest ally in the west, #Hungary holds the EU Presidency for 6 months.
This morning Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán arrived in #Kyiv for the first time since 2012.

It's Day 849 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful neighbour. But it's well over 10 years since the original illegal incursion into #Ukraine territory.
This is another daily thread with all the important news, presented without exaggeration, updated all day long every day!
#Russia's favourite mantra, repeated by trolls, useful-idiots, MAGA types etc, is of Nazis in #Ukraine.
It's simple: #Russia accuses others of what it does itself.
Democratic elections?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Jewish President?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Previous Pres Jewish?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌

Thursday ended with a lot of activity in #Russia's #Krasnodar region, explosions and nice videos.
You can see them at the end of yesterday's thread, a mammoth 60-post effort.

Hello and welcome of Day 838 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine, a country which never fired a shot at any other until the initial 2014 invasion by its imperialistic neighbour.
This is THE thread for all the news, analysis and a bit of comment on the situation. Let's dive in
Regulars will know I (try to) always include a link back to the previous day for those who missed something, or like to just browse the main stories in one place, in a few minutes.
Please share, boost, do your NAFO thing to raise visibility!💙💛
It's Day 835 of #Russia's war.
A conflict based solely on the ego of one very little man. But Putin managed to remove all freedoms & opposition and then brainwash the public into supporting his tyranny, just as Hitler did.
This is THE daily thread covering the war in #Ukraine
It was another very difficult night for the people and air defenders in #Ukraine.
All the details coming up right here on Friday's thread.
