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.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState ImageImageImageImage
The #Crimea Bridge won't be fully functional for another 10 months.

That's today's message from the UK Image
Hoping for good news from #Snihurivka today (RU: #Snigirevka) in #Mykolaiv / #Nikolaev

#Russia's army looks to have already retreated from here.

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine
Just another pathetic fake from #Russia's bloggers still trying to pretend there's a Nazi problem in #Ukraine.

I have a message for them:there are fascists in Ukraine. But hopefully they and their army will be kicked out of the Occupied land soon. ImageImage
Attacks on, and around, #Bakhmut (#RU: #Artemovsk) are still costing #Russia hundreds of lives every daanother 780 dead in the last 24 hours.

Saturday the day we are expecting to hit 80k Russian deaths.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia Image
The usual areas continue to be shelled by #Russia.

#Sumy and #Chernihiv regions receive up to 100 rockets every day.

The south of #Dniprooetrovsk also a constant target.
Here #Zaporizhzhia oblast which was hit 80 times in 17 villages in the last 24 hours. Two people injured. ImageImage
Funny story concerning #Russia where tourists, booked to go to #Madrid, ended up landing near the Syrian border!

Seems the travel agency mixed up Madrid with Madrin in Turkey.

They did get the connecting flight to Spain the next day.

Protests continue in #Russia where some family members have arrived at a military unit on the border.

They are from newly mobilized from #Voronezh #Kursk and #Belgorod regions. They are not against the war but demand their men are moved back from the front line.
#Ukraine Intelligence says it's busted an FSB plot to hit key commanders in #Kyiv and #Sumy regions.

#Russia's sabotage and intelligence group was detained while recovering weapons from a cache in Sumy oblast.

This is the start of Tuesday's daily thread, with all the important news from, and relevant to, Ukraine in one handy place.

It's Day 1385 and I've still never missed a day of fact checking, analysing and reporting every aspect of the defence against Russia's illegal war.
Yesterday a lot of talking behind the scenes, but politicians were broadly tight-lipped on progress.

Russia did make more small gains on the frontline, but we also found a cat with burned whiskers + how Russian pilots' head-tennis went disastrously wrong
Pres Zelenskyy's whirlwind tour continues, arriving in Rome this morning to meet the Pope at Castle Gandolfo.

At Villa Barberini, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was welcomed by the vice-regent of the papal household, Augustinian Father Edward Daniang Daleng.

Day 1366 of the war in Europe is the start of two days of mourning in a small city in Ukraine which suffered over 160 killed and injured in a single Russia attack 24 hours ago.

As the war crimes mount, Trump approves a mad-hat simpleton's plan to end the war

Here's THE daily🧵
Here's the link for the start of Wednesday's🧵
I posted 65 stories - that equates to a post every 22 minutes throughout the entire 24 hours.

Psychologically a devastating day for Ukraine. Being murdered by Russia, being abandoned by the USA.

A reminder US officials are in Kyiv, due to meet Zelenskyy, when Ukraine's president knows he will have to tell the Americans to shove the surrender document up Witkoff's "White House pass"

Is Rubio undermining the WH plan?
It's certainly not realistic and without 🇷🇺concessions Image

Welcome to another daily thread covering all the important things happening in Ukraine right now, and therefore by (unwanted association) Russia too.

All things fact checked, analysed and explained.
The news you can rely on, every day, in one place.

It's Day 1361. I'm late!⏰
Well I had a lovely lie-in as, all things considered it was a relatively news-free morning

My "bitter enders" (those who make it through to the very end of the🧵) will know there was a big attack on Dnipro which kept me reporting late.
Missed it? click⬇️
One thing I've had to do is wade through Trump's interview on GB News. It's actually been worthwhile because it's a wonderful example I can use to train what NOT to do!

Main points being:
1'48" to ask a question is dreadful
Such simpering loses all credibility before you begin

The first few hours of Day 1360 of Russia's genocidal war started with Ukrainians in shelters. More innocent lives have been claimed by the Moscow horde.

The west unable or unwilling to stop the slaughter despite 1000s of war crimes.
We're not incapable, must not be unwilling.
One of the heaviest bombardments Kyiv has ever known dominated y'day's thread and the start of today's.

But Ukraine also continues to pick-off financial targets inside Russia

It all made for one of the longest🧵 so far - the least you can do is read it!

I am not starting in Kyiv though, because this Friday morning has already seen more murder and another clear terrorist attack by Russia.

A UAV smashed into the town centre of Chornomorsk, another Black Sea port just south of Odesa

2 dead, 7 injured

Day 1359 of Europe's war.
Welcome to Thursday's daily🧵 with all the important news from Ukraine + Russia, without gratuitous gory bits.

Every single day, without a break for holiday or illness, I've been here using my 🇺🇦experience & sources to fact check everything. Let's Go!
Wednesday's thread saw evidence of:
Long-range strikes by Ukraine
Russia Collapsing
Ukraine tackling a major corruption scandal.

Catch up by clicking, scrolling, then coming back here for today's news!

It remained quiet overnight for most in Ukraine, but this morning at least six people have been injured in a Russian strike in Mykolaiv.

Three of the victims are in a 'serious' condition in hospital after the drone attack.

Hello again, thanks for visiting my Ukraine thread on Day 1353

Views/likes are down on both sites I post on: possible war fatigue

It's exactly what Putin wants from the world - to wear us down so we accept a deal to stop the killing
This will embolden Putin & hasten war v NATO
Here's the link for Thursday's thread.
It was a day which saw Ukraine inflict a fair amount of damage on Russia's energy sector and the crisis is nearing for Putin as it cannot export oil.

The energy crisis for Ukraine is about people surviving winter:
I'll start with the battle for Pokrovsk, as DeepState updated the map 40 mins ago.

Zero change in the lines since yesterday.
That's excellent for Ukraine but I fear the cost.

Of course things constantly change in the grey zone but no breakthrough.
Situation today vs a week ago Image
