It's Day 264 of #Russia's war of choice.
#Ukraine still defends its homeland and continues to liberate territory.

All the news in one thread right here.
Yesterday's stories can be found here:

British Intelligence gives a long range weather forecast!
More and more war crimes already coming to light in #Kherson.

Sky visits a "prison" where #Russia's soldiers tortured Ukrainians.

news.sky.com/story/ukraine-…
However teams from both Sky and CNN have been atripped of accreditation by #Ukraine's General Staff for broadcasts without agreement, presumably breaching safety protocol after the liberation of #Kherson.

The statement is here in Ukr and English

facebook.com/GeneralStaff.u…
#USA will give #Ukraine another tranche of aid within the next two weeks.

White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed the news as Joe Biden made his way to the G20 summit.

Amid the celebrations in #Kherson, anyone noticed how quiet #Russia has been the last 2-3 days?

Very few missiles sent overnight again. Contrast these days with the first days of the war. Yet Russian war bloggers keep telling us they have an endless supply of weapons🤔
It may be quieter, but still hundreds of Russians dying every day.

The total is on course to hit 100,000 before Christmas

#RussiansGoHome
1/2
Sick or not? #Russia's FM has been taken to hospital in #Indonesia according to local officials who say he's suffering from a heart complaint.

Naturally The Kremlin denies this. They've just posted this video of Putin's defacto #2 supposedly in good health ahead of the G20
2/2

Since then #Russia admits #Lavrov was in hospital but is now back at his hotel.

This video is so staged. As if Lavrov would be sat at a table outside and be caught by surprise with a camera/interview!
He takes the chance to spout even more propaganda.
#Ukraine's President #Zelenskyy has spent the morning in #Kherson. The city finally escaped occupation by #Russia just a couple of days ago.

Mr Zelenskyy has been chatting to military and residents in the regional capital.

#SlavaUkraini #KhersonIsUkraine
#Turkiye seems to be blaming #USA, at least in part, for the bombing in #Istanbul

The Head of the #Turkey's Ministry of Internal Affairs is quoted as saying "we know where the terrorist attack in Istanbul was coordinated from, we do not accept the condolences of the US Embassy."
Smoke seen in #Novooleksiivka in south #Kherson oblast (RU: #Novoalekseevka) just 15km from the Occupiers' new 'capital' #Henichesk (Genichesk).

Some locals report a Russian base has been hit, but this is not confirmed.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
The largest group of MEPs in the European Parliament has confirmed it will vote in favour of officially declaring #RussiaIsATerroristState.

The EPP also says #Putin and his lackey in #Belarus, Lukashenko, should be named War Criminals.

eppgroup.eu/newsroom/news/…
Earlier I wrote that #Russia is likely struggling for missiles and weapons after another "quiet" night.

The Spokesman for #Ukraine's Air Force, Yuriy Ignat, has said the same thing this lunchtime, saying there's been no mass shelling for a week.

rbc.ua/rus/news/rosiy…
It's reported by #Ukraine that #Kherson resident, US citizen, Suedi Murekezi, a 35 year old Rwandan-born crypto investor has been released by Russians.

bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-…
Good stat and even better news for #Ukraine in the fight for freedom and the country's very existence.

The momentum continues to be with ZSU, although it's difficult in #Donetsk.

Another "hit" on Occupied territory south of the river in #Kherson oblast.

This video is from #HolaPrystan', just 10-15km as the crow flies from Kherson city.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
CNN's crew in #Kherson was said to have been *stripped of accreditation but they're still broadcasting from the city today.

#Ukraine accused both Sky & CNN of breaching safety regulations and avoiding roadblocks in a bid to reach the liberated city first

Also worth noting about the CNN/Sky story, many people in #Ukraine, especially journalists, are expressing the viewpoint that the President's people and state organisations were annoyed they didn't get the credit and cuedos for being first.

#StolenThunder?
#RussiaOnFire

Just over the border into #Russia there is burning in #Belgorod'

Head of the region Vyacheslav Glatkov has just admitted tanks full of diesel are burning "as a result of the projectile hitting."

#StandWithUkraine
The UN General Assembly passed a vote calling on #Russia to compensate #Ukraine for war damages.

The resolution was passed 94 to 14; 73 abstained

Voting against were Bahamas, Belarus, China, Cuba, North Korea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iran, Mali, Nicaragua, Syria, CAR + Zimbabwe.
Almost all of the occupied part of #Zaporizhzhia has been plunged in to darkness, including #Melitopol'

As well as power cuts most are also without water.
Reason for the cuts are unknown.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Russia has blacklisted actor @JimCarrey!

Also in the list of latest names is Stepan Bandera's grandson, journalist Steve Bandera.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
⚡️Breaking⚡️

#Ukraine liberates the first settlement on the left bank of #Kherson region.

@arestovych has just given the news on TV this evening, saying #Oleshky is back under Ukrainian control and "The series Chornobaivka closed, the series Chaplynka opened."

#SlavaUkraini
#Russia's denying reports earlier today that another traitor was assassinated.

It had been reported collaborator Maksym Zubarev, the Occupiers' "head" of Yakymivka in #Zaporizhzhia region had died in a car explosion.

#StopRussia
#Russia tonight says it is still in full control of the Kinburn Spit.

Yesterday #Ukraine said they had landed forces on the strip of land and liberated it as far as #Heroiske. However there's been no pictorial evidence of the claims by either side.
On #Russia's state TV tonight the nightly Sovolyov show sees the sanctioned propagandist says they "have no choice but to bring back the death penalty (for deserters)"

Notable that he's saying this the day after the scandal of #Wagner eliminating a 🇷🇺mercenary who surrendered
Update on the winter gear we sent to #Ukraine for the troops fighting for democracy + freedom.

The clothing and boots etc have all now been delivered to the frontline.
Here's a translation of a video when the consignment was handed over.

Hopefully individual thank yous to come.
A couple more tweets to close Monday's thread.
No hard news from the left bank of the Dnipro in #Kherson or the Kinburn spit, where #Ukraine sources have claimed liberated territory, but not confirmed by ZSU

There are loud explosions in #Skadovsk tonight, could be RU air defence
Also on the left bank of #Kherson oblast, reports of missiles hitting #Hornostaivka (RU: #Gornostaevka)

This is a village on the embankment about 25km (15 miles) north-east of #Kakhovka.
And I'll finish today's thread with a smile, spotted by one of my main contributors, @CarolynnePries1

#Khmelnytskyi is quite well known for its bread specialities. Well to honour #Kherson's liberation they made an extra special loaf - Watermelon bread!

On to day 266 of #Russia's full invasion and war on #Ukraine.

The big question today - was it a Russian missile or not which landed in #Poland, killing two people?

Find all Wednesday's news here:

So a lot of activity in USA, Europe & Bali overnight.

Joe Biden has now said the missile that hit #Poland was "unlikely" to have been fired from #Russia

There's a thought it may have been hit by #Ukraine anti-aircraft fire: others believe it's a convenient dodge of the issue.
In #Russia this morning an oil depot has gone up in flames in the #Oryol region, which is 100 miles from the border with #Ukraine.

They suspect a drone but fail to explain how air defences of Belgorod and Kursk managed to miss one drone!

No photos yet.

For all the news this Tuesday keep coming back to this thread with all the important news, updated 'live'.

All of #Ukraine currently waiting to hear news from the left bank in #Kherson region.

Last night rumours swept #Ukraine that the army had liberated multiple settlements on the south/east bank in #Kherson, fanned by Govt officials commenting on #Oleshky.

But so far they remain just rumours with no hard evidence.
Here's the British Intel update which explains why #Henichesk was chosen by #Russia as its 'capital' of #Kherson, having lost the real regional centre last week.

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.
