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?

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
Well it took the leader of the free world four days, but eventually they got to the position I expected immediately after the election.

The Democrats don't even need to win the run-off in Georgia to keep control of the Senate. #Ukraine will be relieved.

Saturday was quiet, reflected in #Ukraine's daily update on #Russia's war losses

Very little equipment destroyed, but still another 650 Russian troops fertilising the ground. This could be inflated by soldiers who failed to make it across the Dnipro river in the #Kherson retreat
After more than an hour and a half, the air raid warning has been lifted for most of #Ukraine. Not a great start to Sunday morning, many still without electricity too.
I wrote yesterday evening about explosions reported in #Chaplynka in southern #Kherson region.

Later video uploaded from the town seems to show #Ukraine's forces managed to hit an ammo dump.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
It's also being claimed, but without photo evidence, that #Ukraine has hit a base of #Russia's soldiers near #NovaKakhovka in #Kherson region.

There were explosions in this area last night and it's reported up to 500 invaders may have been hit in #Dnipryany next to the river.
More on the previous tweet about #Dnipryany in #Kherson.

#Ukraine claims "two trucks of killed Russian invaders were taken to Tavriysk. 56 seriously injured were taken to hospital, of which 16 more died soon after."

#KhersonIsUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Did you know?

Today in #Russia it's Day of "Formation of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defence Troops"

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Russia says it is in control of the centre of #Opytne village in #Donetsk region.
It's less than 5km from #Ukraine held #Avdiivka and fighting continues on the outskirts.

Elsewhere on the eastern front no further claims of advancement by either side.
#StandWithUkraine
#Ukraine is staying silent about what happened in #Cherkasy overnight. There were heavy explosions but not a mention today.

#Russia's war bloggers speculate they hit energy infrastructure, but no lack of power reported.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
This footage has just been posted, showing a Russian jet being hit. I cannot verify if it is new or recent, but it may well be.

The video was said to be shot near #Bakhmut.

#StandWithUkraine
Russian soldiers gang raped a 12 year old girl in #Ukraine.

That's the claim as #Ukraine's Intelligence releases what it says is an intercepted phone call from the invaders.

The incident said to have happened in #Kreminna, #Luhansk region

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Apologies, I posted the recording without subtitles!

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Reports coming in of a (near) riot among newly mobilised soldiers at the well known "Park Patriot" west of #Moscow in #Russia.

The forcibly conscripted know they're heading to the frontline and angrily complained at lack of training.

The General himself tried to reduce tensions
1/2
There's a lot written today about a Russian soldier whose head was smashed in by a sledgehammer.

He was a POW & says he was attacked on the streets of Kyiv after saying he wanted to fight FOR #Ukraine

He was part of a prisoner exchange with #Wagner:

pravda.com.ua/news/2022/11/1…
2/2

However, a number of questionable aspects:
It's inconceivable #Ukraine would release such a badly injured prisoner.
Indeed, #Ruyssia's #Wagner group virtually admits the execution and further introduces a new term "Cargo 800" - they break the legs of retreaters.
More celebrations in #Kherson today by the "90%" who "voted" in favour of union with #Russia 😂😂😂

#KhersonIsUkraine #Ukraine
In Occupied #Melitopol residents were surprised to see that #Russia's flag has disappeared from one of the flagpoles.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
Enlightening thread on the violent death of a "POW" which I mentioned a while ago.

Maybe it won't be so difficult to reclaim the rest of #Kherson?

If #Ukraine hit #Russia's gear at #Chaplynka airfield as I suspect, it's not surprising they want to avoid another #Chornobaivka. Let's hope not just equipment stays away.

You may have heard about an explosion in #Istanbul, where a suspected suicide bomber has killed 11 people.

The incident happened on Istiklal Avenue in the historic Beyoglu district of #Turkiye's biggest city.
Worth pointing out that #Russia's Consulate is on this street.
Re the previous tweet:
CNN Turk is reporting only that 11 people were injured (not killed), no official confirmation of victims.

I apologise if the initial report proves inaccurate, but I merely wanted to make the so far tenuous link to Russia.
Sadly a new aquafresh wrapper was found for the pole in #Melitopol'

Earlier I reported that #Russia's flag in the Occupied town had "disappeared"
A lot of people on the eastern front line saying it's hell right now.

Today in #Toretsk a maternity hospital and a dispensary were shelled by #Russia's forces.

#Ukraine's Head of #Donetsk, Pavel Kirilenko reports no civilian casualties.
#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
#Russia says it foiled an attempted landing by #Ukraine's armed forces on the Kinburn Spit, the far western tip of the south bank of the Dnipro.

The Kremlin claims up to 20 members of Ukraine's 73rd Marine Special Operations were killed near the village of Pokrovskoe.

No proof
Power cuts in part of #Kursk region of #Russia today after shelling.

Locals report 7 rockets hitting the border village of Krasnooktyabrsky in the #Glushkovsky District.

#StandWithUkraine
However, in complete contrast to the previous report, #Ukraine says it successfully landed troops on the spit yesterday.

This evening they report they've liberated the strip of land up to the village of #Heroiske
#RussiaOnFire

Arson is a possible reason for this fire near St Petersburg according to investigators.

This church (Veniamin's) in the village of #Yanino is only 10 years old.

Earlier it was feared the dome may collapse but the blaze was extinguished before that happened.
They haven't done yet, but if things get really tough for #Ukraine, the Babushki division is ready to liberate the rest of the country.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Multiple loud explosions reported in #Luhansk. At least five according to local posts.

Of course authorities say air defence worked perfectly.
There is evidence of success in the sky, but from the reports of the loud decibels, it seems likely at least one rocket landed.
Already suspicion of a mass grave in liberated #Kherson

It's at the city's cemetery, but mass burials look to have taken place. Some of the graves have dates from the first two weeks of the invasion.
It's unknown how many people were buried there.

#StandWithUkraine
Do they know something we don't?

#Russia's NTV has suddenly removed not only #Kherson, but also #Melitopol and #Luhansk from its weather map!

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Bizarre protest in #Perm'

Olga Syutkina was arrested for "discrediting the army"

Her poster reads “They surrendered #Kherson, they will also surrender #Moscow

Tuesday: Day 909 of the war in Europe.

You've found the start of the daily thread - here every single day. All news is fact-checked, without hyperbole but with context. My aim is to help you know what's really going on in #Ukraine so you can be informed to tell others

Let's go
It's been a difficult morning for #Ukraine with #Russia launching missile attacks already, after drones earlier in the night.

But the traditional way to start is to give you the chance to review yesterday's news, inc more gains in #Kursk and 🇷🇺burning!
#Kyiv was the main target again for #Russia as it launched cruise missiles after drone attacks.

The Iskander-K and 2x Kh-59 missiles were downed, but two ballistic devices (Iskander-M or North Korean NK23) could not be intercepted.

25 of the 26 UAVs were shot down. Image

Hello & welcome to Day 908 of #Russia's disgusting, and now disastrous, all-out war on #Ukraine.

Throughout history the independence, strength and rebellious nature of Ukrainians has caused problems for imperialist rulers and dictators.
History is biting Putin on the bum again!
This is THE daily thread, the only one you need for all the major news about #Ukraine's fight for freedom and its very existence.

Sunday was quiet, but still plenty to get your teeth into. Click here if you were offline some of the day & need a catch-up:
#RussiaOnFire

Yet another problem for #Russia's collapsing rail industry.

A fire at a substation on the #Krasnoyarsk Railway left #Mariinsk in #Kemerovo Region without power.

The line was blocked for over 2 hours before the flames were put out.

Officials blame a malfunction

Well I'm not supposed to be starting another thread yet. But dramatic events in #Crimea, so, no rest!

Welcome to THE thread covering all things #Ukraine and #Russia.

We've reached Day 905.
Let's go (and KoFi appreciated if you are able)
A fiery thread yesterday. Catch up here:

Explosions heard in #Crimea and all the lights in the #CrimeaBridge went off.

Then a fire seems to have broken out...

A new week, and coming to the end of the first week of #Ukraine's decision to take the war directly into #Russia's territory, more than 10 years after Putin invaded sovereign🇺🇦land.

It's Day 901 of the all-out war. All the news, all the time, in one handy thread. Read-on!
We start again with a look back to yesterday.

Lots of news once again. Not least from #Kursk region, but please remember #Ukraine has a media silence from there. Some battalions post selfies, but mostly it's only #Russia and locals uploading photos.

I want to revisit what happened at the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

I've now read and spoken to a few who know more than me about the plant. Everyone agrees it's a cooling tower, with nothing to burn there.
So it's almost certain #Russia burned something as a provocation.

Hello again.
You've found the start of my daily thread on Day 878 of #Ukraine's defence against #Russia's war of choice.

Wherever you may be, enjoy your weekend, but don't forget about freedom and democracy. Ukraine today, another victim next if we don't stop the bully.
#Russia seems to be affected by fire & water problems in equal measure. #Ukraine helps with its drone successes!

It was a busy Friday! Zelenskyy in London, and Russia up to its old tricks, capturing foreign exchange tokens + killing civilians.
Review here
#Russia did attack #Ukraine overnight.
Two main targets were the energy sector and also the railways.

The national energy company confirmed drones attacks in 3 regions, but it seems the damage to the grid is not too bad.

Day 866 of #Russia's war is already underway.

A frightening start to Monday with missiles already entering #Ukraine's airspace.

All the news all the time, all day every day. Welcome to THE daily thread about Europe's war.
In case you missed any, or all, of Sunday's thread, here's the link so you can catch up easily.

Quite a day it was, too, with numerous successful strikes for #Ukraine on #Russia's positions and in the rear.
##SlavaUkraïni

There are 3 groups of Cruise missiles in #Ukraine right now.

Two are heading westwards towards ##Vinnytsia but are likely to change course many more time yet. The third group is still in #Chernihiv region.
