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.

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.

Welcome to Thursday's thread with all the important news on Russia's illegal war in Ukraine.

It's Day 1275 - the day Putin openly mocks Trump.
After China + India upped oil purchases, the indicted war criminal ordered his army to bomb a US company in🇺🇦

Let's begin:
Ukraine is recovering from the predicted massive overnight attack.

Russia launched more than 600 missiles and drones.

The mayhem started in the last third of yesterday's exhausting thread. If you missed it, click and scroll here:

So let's break down Russia's aerial attack, which consisted of 40 missiles and 574 drones.

Ukraine's air defence intercepted these missiles:
1/4 Kindzhal hypersonic
0/2 ballistic
12/14 Kalibr cruise
18/19 Kh-101 cruise
0/1 unknown

and 546/574 UAVs = 95%

11 locations were hit. Image

It's Day 1274 of Ukraine's incredible defence of its people, land, culture + shielding many NATO states, next on Putin's hit-list from his long stated dream to reunite the USSR

Somehow Trump & his cults (I nearly misspelled that) seem intent on helping Putin.
Here's the daily🧵
Tuesday was another 50+ post thread, packed full of some more untold insights into Ukraine news and life, including the resurgence of Covid and a language 'foul' on the football field.

But politics and Russian atrocities are omnipresent.
Here's your link
Let me start with an unwanted shock for residents in Poltava, who were warned of a radiation threat this morning, I imagine sparking all sorts of horrific thoughts.

Thankfully, the governor says it was human error, Myrhorod should've had an air alert, not the radiation warning. Image

There's an angry reaction from a wide cross section of society to Trump's compliant acceptance of Putin doing just what he wanted on U.S. soil

Welcome to my🧵on Day 1270 of Russia's war. I've never missed a day, if you want to support my quest for truth

Yesterday proved to be about a 26 hour long thread, which even for me was crazy!

Ukraine had great success striking military targets, while eventually, Putin had great success manipulating Trump.

Here's the link if you're catching up:

It's distasteful seeing leaders pussy-foot around, scared to upset Trump's fragile ego

Zelenskyy's forced to be careful, but Ukraine's always been ready for the unconditional ceasefire Trump first demanded 5 months ago. So no surprise he's travelling to Washington on Monday

It's Alaska Day, or a couple of half-baked Alaskas meeting later as Russia hopes to carve up Ukraine, with Trump's approval.

That's much later on Day 1269 of Putin's war.
As I start this thread at around 02:30 GMT, 05:30 Ukraine, there is a big attack on Russia.
Let the🧵begin
In a rush to get to sleep, so let me waste no further time in giving the link to yesterday's thread.

Both X and BSky have been a bit crappy scrolling through threads. One thing you can do is click my profile and then "replies", click one + scroll up

So, as I posted a few minutes ago at the end of Thursday's thread, a big, successful attack on another oil refinery in Russia.

This time it's the Rosneft plant in the city of Syzran, in Saratov region.

Whoever said 7 days is a long time in politics was dead right.

An about turn from tough guy & threats to TACO queen & Putin's poodle. And the next 7 days is now set to bring another cosy meet between a felon and an indicted war criminal.

It's Day 1263 of THE Ukraine thread:
A later start to Saturday's thread because of a crazily late finish to the last🧵

Fewer than 20,000 views for the first time in weeks on such an important day🤨🤔

So much effort and so little impact some days 😢

President Zelenskyy's damning response to the TrumPutin plan came early in social media posts - the full subtitled video is next in my🧵

As I said last night when Trump announced details, Putin got EVERYTHING he wanted (again) & gave up nothing, not even secondary tariffsImage

Day 1261 - the White House thinks the war in Ukraine is coming to an end.

Especially as the Kremlin has this morning announced Putin and Trump will meet in the coming days.
But is the war criminal just duping the US Pres again and buying more time?

Follow me & today's thread:
Much of Wednesday was taken up with the politics surrounding US envoy Wirkoff's latest chummy chat with Putin.

But then it turned dark, literally as the sun went down, but Ukraine looks to have had the better of the drone exchanges.
Catch up here:

I think we should start with the latest from Moscow on the first of the meetings which most hope will end the war, but few realists believe.

The venue has been arranged - this is from one of Russia's state news agencies. Image
