Saturday 12 November. Day 262 of the illegal war #Russia is waging on #Ukraine
This is the daily thread with all the news of the conflict

Quite a day yesterday, full of amazing emotions and joyous scenes. If you missed it, just take a scroll through here:
⚡️Breaking⚡️

#Russia's (estimated) war dead today tops 80,000

Just two weeks ago today the total reached 70k.
The daily mean Russian deaths since then has been 711.

Today all the first four categories are above average
#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
the #UK's Defence Minister @BWallaceMP has a message for #Russia and its people after yesterday's liberation of #Kherson and the whole region east of the River Dnipro.
The emotional de-occupation of #Kherson is just the start of a new chapter and some difficult decisions now need to be taken.

#Ukraine says it fears a big missile attack during the G20 summit next week. While places like #Mariupol and #Crimea now in range for Ukraine's artillery
A better video has emerged of the destruction of the #Antonivskyi bridge in #Kherson.

CCTV shows the moment of the enormous blast which finally brought down a section of the main route across the river Dnipro

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
One tweet from late yesterday you may have missed.

#Banksy in #Ukraine!

A wonderful video to celebrate the release of #Kherson, from #Ukraine's Defence Ministry.

#Hallelujah! #SlavaUkraini
No bridge? No problem for #Ukraine.
Seen in #Kherson region.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
Interesting. #Sweden spy scandal.

Just weeks after the #Norway drones stories, a far more serious espionage case emerges in its neighbour:

#StopRussia

Apologies. Earlier I posted video of damage to a bridge in #Kherson. It was of course not the #Antonivskyi but the the bridge over the #NovaKakhovka dam.

Any bridges in the region, even if already damaged by #Ukraine shelling, were brought down when #Russia fled.
Refugees from #Kherson have been celebrating all over the world - from near and far.

I know people who immediately moved to #Odesa, not that far away. This morning many gathered outside the world famous opera house in the port city.

#Odessa #SlavaUkraini
Now searching to see if this is translated into English, and if not why not!

@AngryFil's post pointed me to this historic book and highly recommends it.

Paying tribute to #Ukraine's army. The people of #Kherson say thanks for liberating their city.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
Early this morning @alexrossiSKY was engulfed by well-wishers as he accompanied a #Ukraine army crew into #Kherson.

This is near #Chornobaivka and the legendary airport!
A mix of Ukrainian and Russian being spoken.

#Chernobaevka #SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
I have good news - the stuff we bought with your donations crossed the border from Poland to #Ukraine late last night.

Hopefully it will arrive at the front line tomorrow.
You can see how much clothing etc. we got - the document is the border/customs document.
More gifts left behind by #Russia when they evacuated #Kherson oblast.

The Sun's journalists were shown this warehouse in #Blahodatne (RU: #Blagodatnoe) in the north of the territory, near the regional border with #Mykolaiv.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
Yet more good news claimed by #Ukraine.

The exiled Governor of #Luhansk oblast tells the national TV show that they have reclaimed 11 more settlements.

Here's the translation of his subsequent post:

#SlavaUkraini #Lugansk
The good people of #Kherson have just escaped #Russia and its curfew, but after one night of celebration they are straight back in to another curfew.

#Ukraine has imposed a 5pm to 8am restriction amid fears some Russians were left behind and changed into civilian clothes.
This is the Antonivskyi Bridge in #Kherson, as seen from a drone.

Liberating the rest of the region will be extremely difficult.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
The first videos from abandoned #Chornobaivka reveal some of #Russia's ruined equipment from the 40 or so hits on the airport in north #Kherson.

#Chernobaevka #SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
There are reports tonight of explosions around #Chaplynka in the south of #Kherson near to #Crimea.

It's believed a lot of #Russia's equipment in the region was moved south to Chaplynka, especially the airport there.

Well, we need a "new" Chornobaivka😅

Welcome to Sunday's thread with all the news of #Russia's illegal war - updated live, throughout the day.

All of #Ukraine has been under air raid warnings for an hour with 🇷🇺planes in the sky

Here's the link for yesterday's thread if you missed anything:
It's Day 263 of this war.
In 8 days it's the anniversary of the start of #Euromaidan protests in #Ukraine and subsequent Revolution of Dignity when the corrupt pro-#Russia president fled.

It's also 18 years since Moscow poisoned pro-West future President Viktor #Yushchenko.
The UK daily update focuses on the news about kids getting military training in #Russia's schools.

Will it increase patriotism?

Day 261 could potentially be a turning point in #Russia's war, even if only half what we're hearing from #Kherson through the night is true.

Friday 11/11 - Armistice Day, start of my 261st daily thread. All the news, all day

If you want to buy me a coffee click the bio, thanks!
Quite a few late developments yesterday evening. Here's the link for Thursday's daily thread.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia

1/
Everything is centred on #Kherson with many seemingly fanciful rumours now looking likely to be really as bad for #Russia as suggested.

We know there were big missile attacks on retreating Russians trying to cross the river. Seven different sites were hit by rockets.

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.

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.

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?😡
