Friday's daily thread covering #Russia's war on #Ukraine starts here

In the #UK, 4 November is/was "Mischief Night" (is that still a thing?); sadly every day's a nightmare for Ukrainians

It's Day 254
Coming up: pleas for help from people in Mariupol and a new #Bucha documentary
Firstly, thanks to Tony for buying me a coffee (and a bacon sandwich too!)
If you think I deserve a coffee, see my bio.

If you missed anything yesterday, here's the link:

It's 3am in #Mariupol where temps will dip to +2
While many other areas of #Ukraine don't have power, many residents in occupied Mariupol don't even have windows. Civilians still forced to live in ruined tower blocks, hang banners "Children freezing" & "Where are the windows"
A new documentary by some of the biggest organisations in journalism, shows the definitive truth about war crimes in #Bucha.

10 months ago #Russia's 'army' was committing appalling acts just outside #Kyiv

Graphic video:
#Ukraine's troops still defend valiantly in #Bakhmut.

The city is ruined. Some citizens still remain. So does humanity. Food is scarce, but always important to find enough for man's best friends.
In #Donetsk region, a house has been partially destroyed in #Makiivka (RU: #Makeevke)

Looks like a missile attack, but the Occupiers are silent so far.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
No photos but credible reports of a Russian base having been hit this morning in #Oleshka in #Kherson region.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Russia is employing troops to shoot its own troops if they try to retreat. It's so Hitleresque!
I thought we may have the first day of 1,000 Russian deaths in #Ukraine. In the event just short, but I think the second highest daily number of 🇷🇺soldiers killed in battle
#Ukraine's President will soon be (back) on @netflix

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a guest on the chat show "My next guest needs no introduction" hosted by legendary David Letterman.

The two chatted in a metro station.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Occupied #Donetsk region - a missile has hit the town of #Horlivka.

No news yet on target or damage.

#StandWithUkraine
Last night I reported on the strike of a building in occupied #Makiivka.

#Russia says one woman died.
But if it was a #Ukraine hit, they've had very good intel and precision western weapons to pick off accommodation used by invading soldiers.

#Makeevka #RussianGoHome
A bridge in deepest Russia appears to be coming out in sympathy with the #Antonivskyi in #Kherson!

A big hole suddenly appeared here in #Orsk near the border with Kazakhstan
#Netherlands announces a new €120 million military aid package for #Ukraine.

The deal will include tanks and other weapons.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Three more fires of some note in #Russia today.
1: one person died, 25 rescued in #Vladivostok
2: Blaze inside shopping centre in #Penza
3: #Ukyanovsk - big fire in new development.

#RussiaOnFire
A court in occupied #Sevastopol has declared 17 "missing" crew of the #Moskva dead.

But the law refuses to recognise them as victims of war or combat. Relatives would have to wait 2 years for that verdict.

#StopRussia

More great news for #Ukraine from the #USA

The only worry may be the US midterms and if Republicans take back control they may stop the support.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Some networks in #Russia reporting explosions in #Taganrog. Initial reports were over an hour ago and nothing since.

Once previously during the war Taganrog lost power after similar reports. The city if about 50km from #Ukraine

rostov.ru/society/v-taga…
Earlier today officials in Occupied #Kherson said there would be a "round-the-clock" curfew.
It seems there's been widespread anger even among troops, police and Russian sympathisers. The traitor Head has now been forced to deny new restrictions, the 22:00-05:00 curfew remains.
Today #Ukraine's cheeky postal service published another new stamp, this time called "#Crimea Bridge: the encore"

The official launch was on the "Klichko Bridge" in #Kyiv, which famously survived #Russia's recent missile attack.

lb.ua/society/2022/1…
Hahahahaha!
Upgrade works in progress in occupied #Donetsk!

Earlier today in the city centre they unveiled a signpost saying "To Russia 0 km"
By the evening it had disappeared!

#SlavaUkraini #DonetskIsUkraine
Sorry for delays replying to your messages. I've been busy on multiple fronts, including our team purchasing lots of gear for #Ukraine's soldiers with the donations you guys made.

Boots, thermal underwear and Goretex jackets the main request. Full details/photos in a few days
#Russia's installed administration in #Donetsk says 6 people died in the region today in shelling it says was carried out by #Ukraine.

3 of the deaths happened here at the Stirol plant, which manufactures nitrogen fertilisers and other chemical products.

#StopRussia
Love this! #Ukraine Patriots still very evident in temporarily occupied #Kherson.

This sign received a colour makeover this morning!

Hundreds of #Russian military tents in #Belarus visible on satellite photos.

Plenty of war equipment too on the border with #Ukraine.

svaboda.org/a/32115828.html
Two cruise missiles shot down over #Ukraine.

The country's recently improved air defences managed to hit the Kalibr missiles - one over #Mykolaiv and one in #Kherson region.

Ukrainian officials say they were fired by #Russia from the Black Sea

pravda.com.ua/news/2022/11/4…
Russian channels reporting big explosions in #Pokorovsk in the #Ukraine controlled part of #Donetsk

They claim ammo has been exploding for 3-4 hours near the railway station.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
Elon Musk is accused of switching off 1,300 Starlink terminals on #Ukraine's frontline last week.

The company wants the US govt to pay the bill. CNN quotes a member of #Ukraine's military saying they were "disconnected due to a lack of funding"

edition.cnn.com/2022/11/04/pol…
Quite a lot of drones have been buzzing over, and attacking, #Ukraine this evening.

#Vinnytsia #Dnipro and #Mykolaiv seem worst affected so far, but no reports of serious damage yet, except to the Iranian machinery

Tuesday 19 November 2024.
I can't quite believe we reached 1,000 days.
#Ukraine is still free, refusing to buckle to the imperialist #Russia

I'm incredibly proud to have documented every single moment, no days off, no holiday, no sickness.

UkrainaOnline encapsulated 1000 days
If you like what I do, if you've never done it before, please consider buying me a coffee on this milestone day. It took a hell of a lot of work.

Thank you to my #TeamTim

Here's the link back to all Monday's news.
More heinous attacks. On its day of mourning, #Sumy was hit again just as the day ended, and #Odesa lost another ten residents.

Today is Day 999 of Europe's war

It's cold in the UK today. Imagine if you didn't have heat. Not just for one day, but maybe for most of the winter Now imagine it's 10 degrees colder

If you can do that you understand what people in #Ukraine feel, or fear.
Welcome to my daily🧵
Monday and Tuesday are days of mourning in #Sumy region after an horrific attack on an apartment block.

It was the last in a long line of murders of civilians by #Russia on Sunday.

I produced the longest thread for months (over 60 posts) - catch up here
Let me start today's news in #Sumy, because sadly the number of killed + injured after #Russia's strike have both increased.

An 11th person died during the night while 89 people required medical treatment. Medics, rescuers, psychologists and volunteers worked through the night.

Day 998 of #Russia's all out war, and Sunday 17 Nov is the day #Moscow's war criminals chose for the big missile attack on #Ukraine

It's such a difficult time for anyone associated with Ukraine. With the election of Musk/Trump, Putin's convinced terrorism will win.
Here's the🧵
Before I forget, here's the link for yesterday's thread. I know many of you like to catch up on what you've missed in #Ukraine and stories connected to the war.

#Ukraine's FM takes a swipe at #Germany's Chancellor Scholz while declaring this one of the largest air attacks.

From #Chernihiv in the north, to #Odesa in the south.
#Kharkiv in the east to #Lviv in the west. #Russia hits them all.

Hello and welcome to Day 996 of #Russia's barbaric war.

Putin's band of war criminals is throwing everything at #Ukraine's defenders for 2 months as the Kremlin is certain tRUmp will force negotiations and wants to be in the strongest position possible.

Here's the daily thread
#Russia is literally teetering on the edge of economic meltdown. If the west does not take this opportunity to ensure justice, protect borders and prosecute war criminals, historians will look back and shake their heads. They may also ask why do anything in the previous 3 years?
Anyway, let's get on with the stories of the day, although we start as ever with the link back to Thursday's thread.

It was a day which saw more problems for #Russia, more war crimes with a civilian shot dead on the street and a terrible attack on #Odesa

Very near 1000 days of war in Europe, but also we should remember that #Ukraine's allies were pretty happy to let the first invasion by #Russia in 2014 go unchecked.

Weakness, appeasement or shady deals for cash only store up and multiply problems.

Here my daily🧵on Day 995
First thing first, the link for the start of yesterday's thread.

Plenty of evidence of #Russia's pending economic collapse, especially masses of airlines. Plus rioting absconders in Russia and assassination of one of their war criminals. All in here⬇️

100% for air defence overnight

Even though it was quieter than in recent days, and air raid warnings were much shorter, #Russia still fired 59 kamikaze drones at #Ukraine

21 were shot down, 38 stopped by EW.
It seems #Belarus wasn't attacked this time by its friendly neighbour Image
