Day 256 of #Russia's 10-day war on #Ukraine.

Here's the start of the daily thread with all the news.
Some dramatic news yesterday - if you missed it, click the link and scroll.

#StopRussia

The news agenda is still dominated by one event in #Russia, where the first serious questions are being asked by "regular" (non liberal) families over military disasters.

It follows this wipeout of a new battalion of mobilised troops by #Ukraine's forces

#Russia's daily losses, published by #Ukraine each day, shows fewer troops and equipment destroyed yesterday than in recent days.

The wipeout of the Voronezh battalion happened previously and likely included in previous days' figures.

#StopRussia
The daily Intel update from Britain's Ministry of Defence has a "weekend" feel to it again!

They revisit the sacking of General Lapin which I covered a while ago as part of a battle between #Russia's MoD and Prigozhin/Wagner 'hawks'

#StopRussia
This footage has been published in #Kherson, supposedly from the regional government building.

Remember #Russia's flag was removed earlier this week and it looks genuine that this is indeed the now abandoned building.

It's also said toilets were again stolen, but no proof here:
What did you do when you woke up this morning?
Turn on the light? Take a shower? Make a tea of coffee?

For anyone in #Ukraine the last task at night or first in the morning is to check when the power cuts will happen and if they will be able to do any of the things you and I did
In #Odesa seems they are fed up with statues being given "patriotic" makeovers!

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Devastation in #Zaporizhzhia overnight with two rockets from #Russia hitting the city centre.

At least one person died in the attacks. One shell hit a local business, the other landed in a residential area.

#Zaporozhe #RussiaIsATerroristState
Here's a before and after look at the centre of #Hulyaipole in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.

Missiles have destroyed the town centre - more wanton civilian destruction.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Another video of devastation in #Bakhmut, where #Ukraine's troops continue to hold out against #Russia's best units.

#StandWithUkraine
In #Ukraine held #Pokrovsk huge explosions heard overnight. The likelihood is #Russia hit an ammunition dump.

Today this is how the out of use school in the town in #Donetsk region.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
I deleted this video from liberated #Lyman and now reposting because #Russia has just claimed it hit a base for #Ukraine fighters, presumably this school was it.

The Kremlin says "up to 100 foreign mercenaries" were destroyed including "about 40 from USA, UK and Poland."
#Russia indirectly admits hacking former British PM's phone.

Moscow spy chief Sergey Naryshkin told a TV programme an SMS from Liz Truss to Anthony Blinken saying "everything is done" referred to the #NordStream pipeline sabotage.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
This news is hardly a surprise, but even some pro-#Russia bloggers now say #Kherson will be conceded in "3-4 days"

The scenes from the admin building and removal of guard-posts indicated that, but #Ukraine has warned it could be a trap.

Kherson's the only major city 🇷🇺 gained.
It looks like another oil terminal in #Russia has been struck. This is in the district of Grayvoron bordering #Ukraine.

However Russians are saying it's a solvent tank alight in an industrial enterprise.

Make up your own minds😉
#StopRussia
Much of occupied #Kherson region has been without power all day and some residents also without water.

Now #Russia says #Ukraine's Resistance has caused the outages with an explosion on the Beryslav-Kakhovka road which damaged concrete supports of a high-voltage power line.
Remarkable video from occupied #Luhansk oblast.
So many people have died the cemeteries are full.

Now they resort to just burying "#Russia's heroes" at the side of the road.

The music by the way is "Everything's Going To Plan" by the late Yegor Letov.

Seen on TG UAonlii
A #Ukraine politician from #Kherson says there are fewer than 20,000 of #Russia's soldiers remaining on the right bank of the region.

By the way the right bank's the LEFT side of the map.

Confused? The left bank is left side of a river in direction it flows; in this case🧭N➡️S
How good is this street art?

In #Mykolaiv, Kolya Serhi made this mural near a playground, to show a boy escaping the war to reach back into his sunny childhood in the city.

#Nikolaev #Ukraine #RussiansGoHome
One news site in #Ukraine has been trying to collect details of all the brawling, killing and general problems with new recruits in #Russia's army.

24tv.ua/ru/mobilizacij…
Another of #Russia's so-called church has been killed in #Ukraine

"Archpriest" Mikhail Vasilev gloried in working at "the headquarters of the Strategic Missile Forces"
Russian Orthodox priests regularly bless missiles sent to kill civilians in #Ukraine & utter racist statements.
Confirmation that the statue of "Catherine the Great" in #Odesa is being dismantled.

This morning I reported on fencing which appeared around the legendary Russian leader. Now a sign has been put on the fence announcing the news.

#Ukraine #Odessa
Unverified video of another mobilised troop rebellion in #Russia.

Again, they complain they were not paid and started shouting abuse at the General in #Kazan.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
Wow! That was quick!

I see this and think:

For the "2nd Army In The World" it's clearly getting hot and they're shi**ing themselves.

Cool time-lapse video from the historic Podil district of #Kyiv.

This is how the "Ghost of Kyiv" painting was created.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
More trouble for #Russia and worse, more public discontent and discussion at the insane losses.

Marines from the Pacific Fleet complained to the Governor of Primorye after suffering 100s of losses near #Pavlivka in #Donetsk oblast.

meduza.io/news/2022/11/0…
#Kherson is no longer subjected to Russian TV programmes!

Spokesman for #Ukraine's Southern Command, Vladislav Nazarov says the Kremlin's propaganda channels stopped being transmitted about a week ago after the previous wave of "evacuations".

#RussiansGoHome #KhersonIsUkraine
A little earlier this was posted on Tiktok allegedly showing #Russia's fearless army adding a children's train ride to the long list of goods stolen from #Kherson.
Maybe they need a faster getaway?

Many media are running this video but it is unverified.

#RussiaisATerroistState
Generally quiet so far tonight in #Ukraine, but just hearing reports of an explosions in #KryvyiRih. Not confirmed yet.

#StopRussia

Good morning from the UK, I'm back again with another daily thread!

Monday 7 November is Day 257 of #Russia's illegal war in #Ukraine. Big news from #Donetsk today..

It was a busy Sunday, here's the link for yesterday's news feed if you missed anything:

So let's start in occupied #Donetsk where a huge fire has raged for most of the night.

It's believed 5 x 155mm artillery shells hit the centre and the main building of the railway station is burning down.

#Russia also has no water to fight the flames!

All according to plan!
What the F...?

@LancomeUK @YSL @armani @Redken5thAve agree to resume supplying products to #Russia

This is reported by the Terrorist State's news agency. Did someone tell them Russia stopped starving, freezing, raping, looting and killing civilians?😡

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:

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"

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

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.

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
