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.
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.

Again reasonably quiet in #Ukraine overnight, although this morning #Zaporizhzhia region was again hit with S-300s, but with little damage to the village.

#Russia is talking about the success of a new killer drone "Lancet" which it says is much more accurate and hit #KryvyiRih.
#Russia's army has issued call-up papers for a man from St Petersburg with "military experience"

Turns out he was the chef on board the #Moskva. Whereabouts unknown - but obviously he died in the strike on the flagship of the Black Sea fleet.

#StopRussia
More big numbers in the tally of #Russia's daily losses.

According to #Ukraine's estimates, another 700+ invaders have lost their lives in 24 hours, taking the total above 77,000. At this rate we will reach 80k at the weekend.

All the first 5 totals above the daily mean.
#Ukraine quite regularly publishes a list of brands still trading with #Russia and therefore directly paying for the killing, freezing, starving of Ukrainian citizens.

A reminder also that @LancomeUK @YSL @armani &
@Redken5thAve agreed to resume supplying products to #Russia.
#Russia says it has once again pushed #Ukraine's troops out of #Donetsk airport.

It became an iconic symbol for Ukrainians after the "Cyborgs" battled to save the airport in 2014.
It's in the north-west of the city, less than 5 miles from Ukraine held #Avdiivka
The bodies of 38 fallen soldiers were returned to #Ukraine today as the two sides handed over those killed in battle.
Video from #Lezhyne in #Zaporizhzhia region after this morning's shelling.

No injuries reported and relatively little damage.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Hahahaha top trolling from #Ukraine's Defence Minister
🦟🦟

#RussiansGoHome

In occupied #Donetsk region, shelling and power cuts in #Yasynuvata (RU: #Yasinovataya) which is 5km north of #Donetsk and close to #Ukraine held #Avdiivka

#Russia says 23 transformer substations were "de-energized" and over 4,600 households have lost electricity
#RussiansGoHome
The BBC has spoken to one of #Russia's survivors from the massacre in the Donbas.

Over 500 new recruits from #Voronezh were killed as they were left for dead by Commanders.
This article translates well.

#Ukraine's Intelligence has "proved" for the first time that #Iran supplied killer drones to #Russia AFTER the start of the war.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

rbc.ua/ukr/news/rozvi…
Sky tonight claiming #Russia flew captured western weapons and a huge amount of cash to #Iran in payment for the killer drones.

#StopRussia #StopIran #SaveUkraine

City leaders in #Odesa confirm that the Catherine the Great statue is being dismantled. However it won't be destroyed, instead being moved to be "kept in a safe place."

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

The state propaganda channels are desperately trying to broadcast good news... Then a reporter has the audacity to tell the truth!

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia

More relatives of the newly mobilised in #Russia are on the street protesting.

This is in #Kursk where mums and partners demand their men are withdrawn from the front line in Luhansk region

Again they claim soldiers are thrown to the front line without equipment or experience.
The video in the previous tweet courtesy of #verstka media which is well ahead of the game on the protests. The full story and text (in Russian) can be found on this link.

More shelling in #Kramatorsk, #Donetsk region earlier today.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
One of the Boxing Federations has removed all fighters from #Russia and #Belarus from its world rankings.

The WBC will also refuse to sanction any fights in the aggressor countries.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A fire in a church in Occupied #Ukraine is down to the Resistance says exiled Mayor of #Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov.

It's alleged the church in Voznesenka was used by Russian troops.

Fedorov said "in the best Rashist tradition, they placed their HQ in a captured church,"

We reach Day 260 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine. They continue to go backwards after Wednesday's announcement that Putin's troops are evacuating #Kherson region west of the river.

This is the daily thread for Thursday. Catch up on the previous 24 hrs here:

1/2
So, #Russia confirmed it is leaving #Kherson city and the rest of the right bank in the region.

But #Ukraine rightly urges caution.

Not all invaders have left yet; fighting continues.

Even after all Russians leave, it will take time and manpower to de-mine and make it safe
2/2

#Russia has saved a lot of its troops and can move some to the #Donbas to strengthen attacks there

#Kherson will likely be heavily shelled from across the river

It will be great to liberate the only regional capital occupied since February, but it gets tougher now.

Welcome to another daily thread covering #Russia's illegal war in #Ukraine.

It's Wednesday 9 November, Day 259
The relative quiet of the previous 36 hours has ended, especially in #Dnipro.

To catch up on y'day's news, click and scroll here:

One of the biggest stories for #Ukraine is what's happening in the USA. As I type the Republicans look set to take control of the House, but with a very small majority, while the GOP looks likely to FAIL to take control of the Senate

That should mean no reduction in #Ukraine aid
Kamikaze drones have hit the city of #Dnipro.

There are reports of victims after infrastructure was hit by #Russia's attack.

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?😡

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"
