No doubt sensing a new opportunity to blame everything on their missiles being "knocked off course" by #Ukraine's defences, the so called MoD in #Russia now claims they didn't bomb #Kyiv yesterday.
All the damage to apartment blocks was of course the fault of Ukraine air defence
Without proof or pictures, #Russia says it's Armed Forces have received a new batch of Su-34 aircraft, with another delivery expected by the New Year.
Western experts have said sanctions have drastically slowed manufacture of weapons and aircraft.
Collaborator Pavel Gubarev posts on social media that his wife Yekaterina disappeared yesterday.
The added spice is learning that #Russia's appointed Head Traitor, Saldo is not returning his calls!
Love games or Patriot Games?💙💛
#Belarus has stated #Ukraine is blowing up bridges in the #Volyn region near the border.
Recently work started on a reinforced border fence to keep out the rogue state ruled by the illegitimate 'president' Lukashenko.
The Parliament of the #CzechRepublic adopted the recommendation to recognised #Russia as a terrorist state.
#Czechia's Chamber of Deputies passed the vote today.
This also in #Novosibirsk - flames quickly took hold of a 4-storey structure in the city, which was previously the Department for Internal Affairs building.
High probability of arson.
In #Kherson the main police building in the city had to be destroyed.
Head of the Police, Igor Klymenko, released this video after it became known that #Russia's retreating troops had mined most of the building before leaving the city.
That's the claim this evening by #Ukraine's President:
"I received signals that Putin wants direct negotiations. I received such signals. I suggested a public form because Russia is waging a public war."
In the Kyivsky district of #Donetsk missiles have struck this evening.
This woman points to a beauty salon and a dormitory. Glass flew into the garden.
She says it was very loud (when rockets landed) and water and heating don't work.
Earlier today #Ukraine put loony Chechen Kadyrov on its "wanted list" alongside General Surovikin, who's defacto in charge of #Russia's war efforts.
If that was pointless and petty, read this! #Russia has opened an official investigation in to the "illegal prosecutions"
🤡🇷🇺🤡
#Iran's not helping #Russia of course. We all believe that, right?
Oh look what's appeared on the battlefield...
Iranian combat vests and plates

Hello & welcome to another daily thread on Day 268 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine, although the war can be traced back almost 9 years to early 2014.
Plenty of news yesterday, if you missed something take a scroll through Thursday's news feed here
Let me start with an update on this story from last night
I've traced the original to vanek_nikolaev's TG channel and now had it confirmed #Chaplynka was hit again, so this is likely genuine, multiple explosions in #Kherson region, just 16km from #Crimea
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.
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.
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.
