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?😡

ria.ru/20221107/posta…
#Ukraine admits problems in the east where #Russia continues to sacrifice huge numbers of soldiers to move forward a few hundred metres.

🇺🇦General Staff says attacks were held off in #Yampil #Andriivka #Krasnohorivka #Maryinka #Pavlivka #Vodyane and #Novomykhailivka in #Donetsk.
#Russia's problems on the ground are also replicated in the air.

The daily UK update spells out the Kremlin's lack of men and machines.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
Officials at a Nuclear Power Plant in #Russia's #Sverdlovsk region have been forced to deny reports on Telegram of a fire.

Managers at the #Beloyarsk plant said "this is a lie spread by unknown authors. Beloyarsk NPP is operating normally."

#StopRussia
The fire at #Donetsk railway station finally seems to have been almost extinguished.

It lasted almost 6 hours.

#StandWithUkraine️
source: Telegram Donetsk
A big scandal brewing in central Europe with #Slovakia accused of helping supply #Russia with parts for its war effort.

irozhlas.cz/zpravy-svet/za…
#Russia's army continues to be decimated. Another 530* sacrificed for #Putin's vanity.

#SlavaUkraini
*Ukraine estimates
More rocket fire this morning from #Russia on #Zaporizhzhia oblast.

S-300s hit a cultural centre and farm and private buildings in the village of #Kushchove near #Orikhiv.

No reports of injuries.

#StandWithUkraine️ #RussiaIsATerroristState
As well as wasting money on missiles, #Russia and its oligarchs still spend countless dollars on producing fakes to try to influence people and cause division in foreign countries.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine️

#Russia launching full scale attack on #Bakhmut in attempt to seize at least a foothold in the city centre.

#Wagner troops lead the assault on the town in #Donetsk.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
In response to the latest shelling in #Zaporizhzhia, I saw this nice response.

#HeroiamSlava #Zaporozhe #Ukraine
I cannot say when this was shot, but it may well be part of the annihilation of the #Voronezh battalion destroyed 1-2 weeks ago.

It's from #Pavlivka in #Donetsk region. Russians trying to flee into private houses are easily spotted and killed.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
#Ukraine has seized shareholdings of disgraced oligarchs in businesses important for the country.

The order relates to Ihor Kolomoiskyi, Vyacheslav Bohuslaev, Kostyantyn Zhevago and Kostyantyn Hrihoryshin. Their holdings revert now become state property.

epravda.com.ua/news/2022/11/7…
The Russian site which initially raised concerns over the total destruction of a whole battalion (500+) in #Donetsk, has published more compelling witness statements (translations here)

Thanks to verstka.media we now know #Ukraine's attack happened within the last week
Difficult to watch the testimony provided by this woman raped by two of #Russia's soldiers during the war.

#Ukraine police released the video and say they've identified the war criminals. She deserves to see them punished.

#RussiaWarCrimes #RussiaIsATerroristState
The war and forced mobilisation has now cost each region of #Russia at least 22.6 million rubles

If you read Russian or have the energy to use a translator, it's detailed + fascinating. But how many Russians will read & think how it could have been spent

#Russian says its new strategic nuclear submarine is ready to be transferred to the Navy for deployment.

The "Generalissimo Suvorov" has completed all stages of testing according to manufacturers Sevmash.

#StopRussia
#Russia says the last boat has left the right bank of #Kherson region.

The (temporary) Occupiers say there will be no more evacuation trips.

I expect a wholesale clearout of Russia's army to behind the Dnipro river by the weekend.

#SlavaUkraini
A babushka has joined the firebombing rebels in #Russia

Independent media site Baza reports a woman who looks to be 60-70 years old tried to set fire to this army recruiting office.

It happened in #Angarsk, but none of the Molotov cocktails caused damage & she was soon arrested
#Putin today said 50,000 forcibly mobilised troops are "taking part in hostilities"

#Russia's leader also said in total 80,000 are in #Ukraine

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
The so-called 'Mayor' of #Donetsk administration has errr... quit the role.

Aleksey Kulemzin apparently spontaneously resigned for 'family reasons' - few believe it.

#Russia's puppet has quite a record of losing leaders through assassination, threats or sackings.
Yevheniy Prigozhin, owner of infamous mercenary group Wagner, admits hacking U.S. elections and will interfere in tomorrow's vote too.

The Putin wannabe says it is done "carefully, accurately, surgically and in our own way."

#RussiaIsATerroristState

I hope influential people in #Japan read these threads and pass the intel on to the top people.

Never a better time to act than when #Russia is weak.

Hey #Georgia, don't you need some land back too?

#RussiaOnFire again

And this time it just happens to be in #Astrakhan, the port where many believe #Iran delivers its drones to #Russia.

A boat blazed for 3 hours. It's said the vessel was being repaired.

#StopRussia #StopIran
The graphic is in Ukrainian but it's simple to understand.

The figures are the amount of hours that each region was under air raid warnings, and the people in shelters, during October.

161 hours for #Mykolaiv, more than 5 hours EVERY day

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
Earlier I reported on the Russians assault on #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk)

The #Wagner mercenaries are attacking here and released this video purporting to show they're in the city, but they are still not there - #Ukraine's troops defended positions well.

Day 258 of #Russia's war in #Ukraine is underway - here's the daily thread with all the news you need!

Thanks to everyone who helped contribute yesterday including Ali, Alexander and Carolynne.
DMs open for your tip-offs.

Here's the link for y'day's news
Today's UK intel update reports on #Russia's defensive work in Occupied areas.

Even though I expect a retreat this week to behind the river Dnipro in #Kherson, liberating all of the region's territory will be very difficult because The Kremlin needs the land route to #Crimea. Image
It's not unusual for schools in #Russia (and #Ukraine actually) to have some elements of military awareness, including visits by soldiers pre-war, showing guns etc.

Now #Russia looks like making a new subject of military training compulsory for kids.

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.

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.
