Saturday 5 November - Day 255 of daily threads.

Every single day, reporting the truth, cutting the waffle, on #Russia's war of choice on #Ukraine.

Updated "live" so check back, scroll though and share!

Coming up 🇬🇧🇺🇦 partnership, assassination attempt and landmark 🇷🇺losses...
A few people miss some things from the day before and find it handy to have a link to the previous thread, which is why I post it each day.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

#UK has long supported #Ukraine, and not only with weapons - maybe it's to make up for guilt over the Budapest Memorandum letdown!

Today the Ministry of Defence will again be helping in a more unseen way:

#SlavaUkraini

On 6 September #Russia's war dead in #Ukraine hit 50,000*

So in 6.5 months, 50k killed.

Today we hit 75,000. So another 25k in less than two months. Not a good time to be newly mobilised cannon fodder"

*Ukraine's official figures
Puppet authorities in #Donetsk report an assassination attempt on someone they describe as "Judge Nikulin of the Supreme Court of the DPR"

He was shot in the town of #Vuhlehirsk (RU: #Uglegorsk). At this stage they say he is alive but most such deaths are only reported later.
#RussiaOnFire - 15 people have died in a nightclub fire in #Kostroma

The blaze happened in the early hours today at the Polygon Cafe in the city, which is around 300km NW of #Moscow.
The horrific blaze in #Kostroma is not directly linked to the war. However it's not uncommon for appalling safety breaches in #Russia: corners cut with rampant corruption and so much money being pumped in to a pointless war.

This is the scene of the blaze now:

#StopRussia
Even with huge 'manpower' #Russia is finding throwing bodies at the war is not helping. Untrained, unarmed and demotivated soldiers don't make the best fighters😉
I made a mistake...
Let the memes continue...
#Chornobaivka #Chernobaevka

This place will become a bizarre tourist spot in future years!
So what is happening today near #Chornobaivka airfield in #Kherson?

We don't know exactly, but there is a column of smoke a few days after satellite photos showed #Russia had seemingly deserted the place.

#RussiansGoHome #SaveUkraine
One of #Russia's most popular music stars of the last 20 years spoke passionately against the war during a concert in #London.

@Zemfiralive rounded off her world tour at the Royal Albert Hall with the words “Right now my country is destroying #Ukraine and itself.”
A massive hit early this morning on a suspected #Russia "warehouse" in #Luhansk region.

Occupiers say 4 #HIMARS rockets hit garages in the Zheleznodorozhnikov quarter of #Svatove.

#Ukraine lost momentum here the last 2 weeks with massive Russian resistance.

#Lugansk #Svatovo
Another #Ukraine hit on a #Russia base in occupied territory looks to have happened in #Kherson region.

This is Chulavivka hospital, south of the Dnipro. It's widely believed the invaders have used it as a base.

The hospital closed, just 1 ambulance remains in #HolaPrystan area
#Russia and its 'war bloggers' have been saying for weeks that it is close to taking #Avdiivka in #Donetsk oblast.

The frontline town remains in #Ukraine hands, despite intense artillery bombardment. Here's a rare video from the settlement.

#RussiansGoHome #Donbas #Avdeevka
I think this video is a couple of days old, but saw it on a Telegram channel this morning.

It's the remains of the Spartak Sports Stadium in occupied #Kherson.

#Russia kept military equipment and air defences here until recently - #Ukraine did manage to land at least one hit.
An unpleasant site reported in occupied #Melitopol today.

It's not clear from this single photo, but locals say a Lenin monument has been erected. Like the signpost in #Donetsk, I posted yesterday, it won't last long!

#StandWithUkraine️ #StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
If you didn't see it yesterday - here is what happened in Donetsk!

Good point, forgot about this.

@cossackgundi is allowed to permit himself a wry smile.

Having been caught out with the remains of its killer drones in #Ukraine, the regime in #Iran finally admits it has given #Russia "kamikaze" Shahed-136s.

However, now they pretend they were only sent BEFORE the war started!

Still can't explain those frequent flights to Moscow!
It's difficult to be certain about territorial claims and gains in the "fog of war"

However, it's looking very likely now that #Ukraine's forces have pushed #Russia's troops back out of #Pavlivka in #Donetsk oblast. Big losses on both sides.

#StopRussia #SlavaUkraini
In #Mykolaiv pro-Russian channels have reported explosions in the current air-raid warning.

However previously #Ukraine had said they were preparing to safely explode second world war bombs found in the region.

#Nikolaev #StandWithUkraine️
Clever street art seen on #Maidan in #Ukraine's capital #Kyiv

#SlavaUkraini
Just been able to add another 15 snowsuits for #Ukraine's troops alongside the boots and thermals which will soon be on their way to the frontline.

Still annoyed @damart_uk @Damart_fr refused to support our fundraiser with thermal clothing.
@Bradford_TandA
#Ukraine's army releases details of a significant hit on a #Russia Command Post.

The strike was at the Refma refrigeration plant in Occupied #Melitopol.

They published these photos, claiming 50 invaders were killed or wounded and 90 pieces of equipment damaged or destroyed.
You may be interested to see a new video taken inside the nightclub in #Kostroma while the fire started to take hold. 15 died in the blaze in #Russia.

A local has been arrested. Authorities say someone fired a flare gun inside the club.
A fire at an electrical substation in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

Authorities say it was a fault and not an air strike by #Russia, although not everyone is convinced.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Video from yesterday's strike on a hotel used by #Russia's troops in occupied #Kakhovka, #Kherson region.
Each few days I read about #Russia destroying #HIMARS equipment in "pinpoint" raids.

Then word from the U.S. that #Ukraine has not lost a single one of the American donated rocket systems.

politico.com/news/2022/11/0…
In #Zaporizhzhia oblast a local business was hit by shelling.

The director says it's a miracle none of 4 employees on site at the time was injured when a rocket landed right outside.

#RussiaOnFire

A group calling itself the "People's Movement of the Legion Freedom of Russia" claims it has caused this fire in #Yekaterinburg.

They claim these are fuel tanks on their way to the war zone.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine️
2/2

Here's the original post by the "People's Movement of the Legion Freedom of Russia", translated in to English.

The group claims responsibility for a rail fire in #Yekaterinburg and appeals for Russian soldiers to join their ranks.

#Russia #Ukraine #SaverUkraine
A new record! This forcibly mobilised guy from #Russia was captured by #Ukraine within 90 minutes of deployment.

glavred.info/ukraine/uspel-…
Unconfirmed reports that #Ukraine has hit more of #Russia's bases in #Kherson oblast.

The strikes are said to be in #Radensk (over the river and 25km from Kherson city) and #Rubanivka which is 150km east of Kherson

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
More astonishing actions from the invaders in #Kherson

#Russia's troops have raided an elite restaurant "Palazzo" and stolen everything they could, including 3 toilets!

I reported a big attack by #Ukraine on Russian forces in #Svatove, but I don't even think anyone guessed how big.

Quoting survivors, Vyorstka media in #Russia says 500+ may have been killed, the rest were abandoned. Relatives in Voronezh protest outside local govt buildings
translate @vidtranslator
The previous video I have tried to get auto translated, not arrived yet - will post asap.

This was not a single strike, it was concerted artillery fire on the soldiers who were only mobilised 2-3 weeks ago; relatives say they were ill-equipped and abandoned by Commanders.
It's being reported by other media in #Voronezh that of 570 forcibly mobilised to the battalion, just 29 people survived, of whom 12 were wounded.

#PutinsCannonFodder #RussiansGoHome

Not #RussiaOnFire but occupied #Crimea on fire this time.

Officials say a cafe caught fire in the village of Okhotniche near #Yalta.

No people were reported to be in the cafe when the fire broke out. 12 firefighters attended, so not too big.

#CrimeaIsUkraine
@vidtranslator translate
Occupied #Donetsk has been badly hit by shelling tonight.

The Kyivsky and Leninsky districts have been hit - the video is from the latter.

Russia says 6 HIMARS rockets landed there with a fire now at the Raduga supermarket.

#RussiansGoHome #SaveUkraine
Translation of the video I posted earlier, relatives in #Voronezh protest after the massacre of the battalion.

A fire at a school in western #Russia region looks suspicious to many #Ukraine media.

The Pestunovo village school in #Belgorod region has reportedly not been used for a while. Instead, the suspicion is it's been used to base mobilised recruits.

#StandWithUkraine
Civilians are again attacked in #Zaporizhzhia.

Locals say #Russia's fired on a residential area of the city tonight.

Emergency services are tackling a fire there. it's not known how many victims there are.

A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.

With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.

Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv Image

Welcome to another daily thread - THE place for honest assessment and analysis of all the news around Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1214 of the full-scale war. I still have an unblemished record - every single day.

Why not show your support with a ☕️?

Russia displayed outright Nazism + Fascism on Friday.

From killing in Ukraine, more utterings from the war-criminal in chief, to locking up young women and taking legal action against small independent new sites.

8 missiles and 272 drones were fired at Ukraine overnight.

ALL Russian missiles were trained on Kremenchuk, but Ukraine claims NONE reached their targets, including 2 x Kindzhals (5 shot, 3 EW)

In addition 252 UAVs were stopped (93%)
140 being shot down, 112 stopped with EW. Image

Thursday 19 June is Day 1212 of the conflict in Europe.

Russia continues to make ground, expending its soldiers at will for a few more metres as Ukraine fights for its existence having been shamefully let down by the USA.

I'm here every single day, so here's today's daily 🧵
Wednesday saw the death toll in Kyiv rise throughout the day, ending at double the number it started at. Then later Putin cynically told journalists they only hit military targets

Elsewhere another traitor to Ukraine met his fate - click here to catch-up
Another milestone is reached.

Trump is now 150 days late in promising "peace within 24 hours" of taking office.

It's also, as @andrii_sybiha points out, 100 days since🇺🇦 agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, as tRUmp demanded.
Russia did what it always does: delay, lie, kill. Image

Tuesday 17 June 2025.

No time to waste. Kyiv is under the most immense attack.

It's Day 1210 of Russia's increasingly desperate attempt to eviscerate Ukraine and all Ukrainians.

Here's the daily thread, continuing to document the night attacks...
Just gone 04:35 in Kyiv.
A hellish night is not yet over.
Apartment blocks, student dormitories hit.
6 districts of Kyiv city damaged, plus other injuries in the wider region

Here's the link for Monday's thread with all the last half showing the chaos:
If you're just waking up, here's an idea of what's happened to Kyiv while you were sleeping.

Ukraine's capital has not slept.
Many are without homes due to Russia's ongoing war crimes and one person, an American, has lost his life during the attack. Image

Hello again. Day 1203 of Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine

Anyone with a brain slightly larger than that of a chihuahua knows it. Russian history and Putin's own words spelt it out, but peaceniks, Naziniks and idiotniks are still in denial

More proof coming up in🧵for Day 1203
Yesterday's thread lasted well over 24 hours, but nothing to be proud of.

I know I'm crazier than you, and thankfully you all have lives to live. So you will be needing the link to the start of yesterday's thread so you can catch up on what you missed..

Genocide - a short thread within a🧵
I am simply staggered governments and world organisations are too weak to acknowledge the mountain of evidence.

The recent huge missile attacks should be enough, but useful idiots are fooled by Russia's plausible deniability.

A very early start to my daily thread on Day 1202 of Russia's 3 day 'special operation' to capture Kyiv.

It's so special Putin just doesn't want it to stop!

It's another no-sleep night as I start Monday's news feed on all things Ukraine.

Thanks for your support, I rely on you
Another huge Russian attack continues as I type. It could be the biggest yet.

The attack started about half way through yesterday's thread! So catch up here if you're just waking up.

The biggest problem in Ukraine tonight has been for Dubno, in Rivne region.

Heavily attacked in the evening, but now as light bathes the town, it's even worse. All cruise missiles in Ukraine are about to hit, and 3 drones too.
