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

Reports of explosions in #Mykolaiv already this Friday morning.
Awaiting confirmation and details.

#Nikolaev #StandWithUkraine
Some great, and uplifting, stories on my feed last night, so no apologies for retweeting a couple in today's thread too.

#Odesa #Odessa celebrated the return of electricity!

By the way many places in #Ukraine under snow now.

#Ukraine Presidential Adviser Oleksiy Arestovych says the west is so afraid of escalating things with #Russia they are effectively finding excuses to water-down the Terrorist State's wrongdoings.

Translation here of his comments after #MH17 and #PolandMissileCrisis incidents. Image
Thanks to everyone who supports me with kind words, tip-offs or cups of coffee:

Michael G, Ingmar G, Sara C and Timo - much love💙💛
Another gem from last night that deserves a new audience!

#Lviv #Ukraine #StandWithUkraine

A lovely story from #Ternopil' region in west #Ukraine

A new sculpture "Hands Of Life" is unveiled in #Kozov

The artist is Vyacheslav Emelianenko from #Kharkiv. He sheltered in the town in the early days of the war and this is his way of saying thanks.

Note the viburnum tree🇺🇦 ImageImage
I've just seen this video on the page of a #Ukraine official. It's supposedly a Belarusian being beaten - with the video found on the phone of an occupier in #Kherson who fled.

Personally I'm sceptical - it's likely staged.
One of #Russia's spies has defected to #Estonia, embarrassing the Kremlin.

news.yahoo.com/exclusive-ex-r…
Nothing new in the UK Intel update today. But there is a reminder that #Russia seems to accept it's likely to lose more ground with defensive lines well behind the current front line in #Ukraine

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia Image
Including the strike on #Dzhankoi in #Crimea a couple of days ago and last night's hit on #Chaplynka, the armed forces of #Ukraine claim to have hit 11 of #Russia's bases in just four days.
More shelling overnight of #Zaporizhzhia oblast by #Russia.

Here a cultural centre is ruined in one of the villages.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia Image
Daily losses continue to fall..
At this rate it will be just after Christmas before #Russia's soldiers killed reaches 100,000

#SlavaUkraini Image
This evening will see the departure of the first train from #Kyiv to #Kherson since February.

Tmits an overnighter, leaving at 22:14, arriving in Kherson at approximately 09:00 - likely to a great fanfare!

#SlavaUkraini
I must be doing something right - I got my first 'clone' scam account 👿

Thanks to ever vigilant @Give_Up_On_Name for spotting this. Note they made it TMWC not TWMC

#Sweden's security service says "foreign objects" were recovered from the site of the #NordStream pipeline explosions.

The Prosecutor has confirmed it was definitely sabotage:

Now she's missing again!

Collaborator in occupied part of #Kherson region Ekaterina Gubareva "does not fulfill her duties, does not participate in the work of the government" said spokesman.

Her husband says he doesn't know where she is!

#Russia says it has occupied #Opitne (RU: #Opytnoe) in #Donetsk oblast.

This cannot be verified yet, but Russians have been gaining ground slowly in this area. Opitne is just 5km from #Avdiivka, held by #Ukraine and 5km from the outskirts of occupied #Donetsk city.
#Turkiye says it has completed onshore + underwater pipe-laying for the Sakarya gas project in the Black Sea.

#Turkey expects the project to create a gas centre will start early next year.
Sanctioned propagandist/spokeswoman for #Russia's Foreign Ministry accuses @OSCE of spying!

Mariya Zakharova says OSCE's Special Monitoring Mission to #Ukraine was "collecting sensitive data for Western intelligence"

RU normally invents stuff like this as a diversion🤔
#Finland has seized three planes belonging to Russians.

The Finnish company which operated them refused to provide passenger information.

One of Vladimir #Putin's inner circle tells @meduza_en that they understand #Russia "already lost the war"

Worth translating the original here - Meduza has consistently been one of the most reliable Russian news sources

Oh what a shame.

New conscripts at their 'training camp' in #Voronezh region, complain they're cold, it's snowing and they haven't even got tents 🤣🤣

When will they realise #Russia doesn't care about them? They're just cannon fodder.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
Russia news site Mash reports that a #Ukraine naval drone attacked the Sheskharis oil harbor in #Krasnodar region, about 150km from the #Crimea Bridge

They say there was little damage and there are no photos. Now the story has been officially denied by owners Transneft.
In #NovaKakhovka a hotel said to be used by #Russia's army has been hit.

The Telegram channel hueviyherson published the photo. It's not known exactly when the hit occurred.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome Image
#Russia has been caught hiding military vehicles at a hospital in occupied #Ukraine.

This video was shot in the village of Mykhailivka in #Zaporizhzhia, around 50km north of #Melitopol'. Locals say a variety of vehicles stay there, some under the maternity wards

#StopRussia
In occupied #Ilovaisk, looks like #Ukraine has done a good job of disrupting supply lines.

A reminder that the town in #Donetsk was the scene of one of the most appalling acts of the original invasion and near 9-year war. ImageImageImageImage
There was also a rocket attack on #Donetsk itself again today.

Missiles landed in the Kyivskyi district. Occupiers say 6 people were injured.

#RussiansGoHome #DonetskIsUkraine #Donbas ImageImageImageImage
Football legend @jksheva7 has quit #Ukraine's National Olympic Committee.

There's been a huge adverse reaction to the news that Hryhoriy Surkis + Nestor Shufrych, former MPs for the pro-Russia party, were invited on to the committee.

Shevchenko put this on Facebook: Image
The latest revolt from mobilised Russians has come from guys from #Tomsk.

They were told they would be territorial defence but now realise they will be cannon fodder and without any equipment either!

#RussiansGoHome

Nice one Mash

#Russia denied the story thinking there were no photos. But the truth is out (video in next tweet)

As one of my followers said earlier, it was likely true when The Kremlin denied it!

#SlavaUkraini

2/2

The interesting thing is how far away from #Ukraine this is and how #Russia must now consider marine defence upgrades all along the coast.

#SlavaUkraini
So earlier today #Russia accused #OSCE of spying.

Now Russians are furious because #Poland has barred Sergey Lavrov entry to the country for the scheduled OSCE ministerial meeting in Łódź on 1-2 Dec.

#WhatGoesAround
Earlier I wrote about @jksheva7 Andriy Shevchenko's decision to quit #Ukraine's National Olympic Committee in protest at two former pro-Russian MPs joining the committee.

Now the duo (Surkis and Shufrych) have resigned.

Chechen "soldiers" stand accused of murdering an entire family in Occupied #Zaporizhzhia

Telegram channel UAonlii reports that #Russia's troops molested Nataliia Darmobed. When her husband Aleksandr try to intervene the invaders shot the couple and their young sons.

Unverified ImageImage

The first train from #Ukraine's capital heading for #Kherson since February, has just departed #Kyiv.

The southern city was liberated exactly a week ago.

#SlavaUkraini

And when the first train from #Kyiv arrives tomorrow morning, the passengers will be in for a surprise at #Kherson station...

The 'vokzal' has had a nice makeover

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia ImageImage
SEVEN explosions reported in #Zaporizhzhia within the last half hour.

Rocket attacks are thought to have hit "industrial infrastructure"

Rescue workers are already at the scene.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
There's another reported case of "friendly fire" among the invaders, although it appears the Chechens and newly mobilised Russians are far from friends.

Unconfirmed reports tell of shots being fired between the groups in #Makiivka in #Donetsk region. 3 were injured.

#StopRussia
One of the factories of "Motor Sich" is reported to be hit in #Zaporizhzhia.

No immediate word on casualties but rescue workers are still firefighting and trying to move rubble.

Heating has been knocked out in one area of the city.

Sunday 27 October 2024 - it's Day 977 of #Russia's full invasion. This is the original, the best thread covering the illegal war being waged on #Ukraine.

I've never missed a day, and it's all free, but if you can spare a coffee to support me, please click the link in my bio💙💛
Saturday was another one of those days when sadly, we saw many of the usual #Russia tactics...

Attack civilians, bomb anything they can reach, oh, and hire thugs to help intimidate and fix elections.
Read all about it - click the link to catch up:

First an update on the election in #Georgia.

The ruling Georgian Dream party has given itself over 54% after almost all votes have been counted.
The united anti-Russia opposition supposedly only managed 37%

However protests are likely after numerous violations on election day. Image

Hello again, it's Friday, it's Day 975 of #Russia's unforgiveable war on #Ukfraine.

All the news, all the time, every single day in one handy place, welcome to the daily thread.

Please buy me a coffee if you want to support specialist independent journalism (link in bio)💙💛
Here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread, which also has the results of the UN poll.

A resounding victory to kick Russia out of the UNSC, having arbitrarily inherited a seat from the USSR.
Very few happy with how things are now.

Another extraordinary number of deaths (and serious injuries) suffered by #Russia in 24 hours, with the figure again over 1600.

22 pieces of special equipment high too.

You've found the start of Sunday's thread dedicated to #Ukraine's fight for democracy, survival and some would say, protecting the west and its neighbours like #Moldova and #Georgia, as #Russia's imperialist ambitions move into overdrive.

Day 970, less than a month 'til 1,000😳
Here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread. I'm heartened to get a lot of messages saying how much they use this, so they can see all the stories of the day quickly and easily.

It was an explosive end to Saturday - explore here:

A lot to get through with the overnight attacks on both countries, but first #Russia losses.

1,340 more invaders killed/maimed.
So, October's now on course to be the bloodiest month ever for Putin's horde. The daily mean is 1,268 just below Sept's 1,272 but with an extra day. Image

Welcome to the weekend, and Day 934 of #Russia's illegal war.

I'm trying to overcome technical problems all this morning, hence the later start.

But I will not be stopped in bringing you the news from, and about, #Ukraine every single day, in one handy thread.
Here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread, for those catching up.

We fight a constant battle against X censorship, so please share, spread, recommend valued accounts and check if you or friends have been unfollowed from favourite people/accs.

76 out of 76 - a 100% record for #Ukraine defenders of the skies.

During the night (and morning) none of #Russia's 76 attack drones hit targets according to Air Defence command.

72 were shot down, 2 disappeared and 2 more went home to #Russia.

There was some damage though... Image

Hi there. It's Day 933 of #Ukraine's defence after the full invasion by #Russia.

Each day, all the big news is here in one place, updated throughout the day.

Scroll through yesterday's thread here:
Overnight there were strong explosions near occupied #Mariupol.

It would seem #Ukraine has hit one of #Russia's ammo dumps.

🇺🇦advisor Petro Andryushchenko says it happened between the villages of Portovskoe, Rybatskoe and Melekino.

#RussiansGOHOME

#Russia expels 6 UK diplomats, accused of spying. The FSB says the group attended NGO meetings!

State TV Rossiya-24 published photos of the six, naming them as Jessica Davenport, Callum Andrew Duff, Grace Elvin, Catherine McDonnell, Blake Patel, Thomas John Hickson Stevinet. Image
