Welcome along to the daily thread covering #Russia's invasion and war on #Ukraine.

The new week starts with Day 271 of the illegal conflict.

For a recap on yesterday's news (though it was quieter) click here:

The daily update from Britain's Ministry of Defence concentrates on what's happening in east #Ukraine, particularly #Svatove.

I must point out we think more of #Russia''s troops are arriving from #Kherson to bolster an aggressive push rather than just defensive.
#Russia:s estimated daily losses remain steady.
#Russia continues to target villages in #Zaporizhzhia, shelling from the Occupied part of the region.

Overnight S-300 rockets hit two villages, destroying residential buildings but no casualties reported.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine hit enemy field tanks during the night.

Explosions and fires in #Makiivka in occupied #Donetsk.

#RussiansGoHome
Yesterday evening I reported on the thread about #Russia's missile attack on a community in #Kharkiv region.

It's now known one person died, two were injured when private houses were hit in #Shevchenkove, near #Kupiansk.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
On this day in 2013, #Ukraine's people began #Euromaidan protests which led to the #RevolutionOfDignity, as the corrupt Russian loving President fled with stolen goods in his helicopter.

Todayy is Day of Dignity & Freedom in Ukraine - the same fight continues against same enemy.
Update on this attack on #Russia in Occupied #Ukraine last night.

RIA #Melitopol channel now reports a farm was hit where Russians were staying. Three buildings were likely hit, one housing officers the others regular troops + equipment.
#RussiansGoHome

Everyone pitching in to help #Ukraine.

The EU's smallest member #Luxembourg steps up to the plate. Here's the Defence Minister:

Now something more surprising than England scoring 3 goals in the first half!

#Russia has, for the first time I think, said replacing #Zelenskyy as President of #Ukraine, is not a requirement.

tass.ru/politika/16384…
Earlier today the President of #Ukraine and his wife visited the memorial for those killed during the Revolution of Dignity.

Volodymyr and Olena Zelenskyy laid candles to mark the 9th anniversary of the #Euromaidan protests

#VichnaPamyat #EternalMemory
Wow, #Russia is so short of missiles it's now using antiquated stuff from the 1960s.

#Ukraine journalist Andrii Tsaplienko revealed photos of the "Luna-M" Soviet rocket, used as far back as 1964.

It has a range of 70km, but will only hit somewhere within 700m of the target.
#Russia has been named as a Terrorist State by @natopapress.

The Assembly has also called for the creation of a Special International Tribunal for Russian aggression.

"Such a tribunal will make it possible to hold to account senior leadership of the Russian Federation"
More signs of #Russia's ongoing retreat/shoring up defences.

Large convoys of the Occupiers' equipment have been seen heading towards #Mariupol' from #Hulyaipol, over 100km south-east.

35-40 units in this line. If they're being reployed to #Donbas it's a long route to take.
Many in #Ukraine are happy to see the back of this odious individual who liked to torment Ukrainians.

Said Zakaev won't be doing this anymore after being denazified and perhaps helping to fertilise Ukrainian soil.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
More problems for #Russia with a return to the "bomb scare" epidemic.

All district courts in #Moscow were evacuated a little earlier today due to the anonymous tip off. They did "reopen" right at the end of the working day.

#StopRussia
There may have been another prisoner exchange but unconfirmed.

The Governor of #Belgorod announced "We have released 6 people from captivity. But there are those who are still in captivity. There is constant communication”

No news from #Kyiv nor #Moscow yet.
Occupiers in #Donetsk say an elderly man was killed when a rocket hit a residential building.

This is the aftermath of the missile strike in the Kirovsky district of the city. One other person was injured.

#DonetskIsUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Update/correction here, thanks Neil for giving clarification to the original Ukrainian claims, happy to set the record straight.

Poignant. Read the words.
I was first introduced to this song a few years ago.

#HeroiamSlava #StandWithUkraine

There appears to be a concerted attack on the Occupiers' positions South of the river in #Kherson this evening.

Residents of #Chaplynka, #Askania #Kakhovka and #VelykaLepetykha all reporting explosions

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
In liberated #Kherson, one person has been killed in shelling and 3 more injured.
#Ukraine accuses #Russia of using cluster munitions this afternoon.

One of the injured is said to have lost her arm in an explosion.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine's firefighters battle another blaze following shelling in #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk) on the frontline in #Donetsk region.

#RussiansGoHome #SaveUkraine
Spokeswoman for #Ukraine's Southern Command says "a military operation is underway in a 'quiet mode' on the Kinburn Spit"

Nataliia Humenyuk says #Russia is concentrating its forces there.

#StopRussia
The price of oil fell by over 5% earlier today amid rumours that Saudi Arabia may hike output.

That would be good for all of us and not so good for #Russia. However Brent-Crude since recovered half of its losses.
One of #Russia's puppets in #Luhansk claims NATO troops are fighting in the #Donbas.

Andriy Marchenko says the westerners are "disguised" as soldiers of private military companies.

Not the first time Russia accuses others of what it does itself.
Thanks to Toni for a recent donation to the coffee fund, and for tips from Tom and Carolynne.

DMs open for news tips etc.
In #Kremenchuk/#Kremenchug, a monument to #Pushkin has been removed from public view.

The Russian poet's statue used to stand on Pushkin Boulevard. The road was renamed to Renaissance Blvd 3 days ago.

Today the statue was moved to the company "Blagoustrii Kremenchuk"
It was reported many times by locals during the occupied time and now journalists discover the same themselves.

#Russia regularly burned their "Cargo 200" in the city. More families who won't ever know what happened to their men.

theguardian.com/world/2022/nov…
"Despite widespread damage to the (#Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant) site" the IAEA's report says "there is no immediate nuclear safety or security concerns & key equipment is intact."

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia

iaea.org/newscenter/pre…
At around 10pm this evening, one tower of the #Moscow City business centre had to be evacuated.

One of the apartments in the block was on fire.
It's the second notable fire in #Russia's capital in 2 days.

#RussiaOnFire
Finally for Monday more scandal around #Ukraine's National Olympic Committee

Former Ukraine international footballer Roman Zozulya listed 22 other one-time members of the pro-Russia political party, or allegedly corrupt people who've joined the Committee

Day 273 of #Putin's illegal war and here's the daily news thread.

Today, Wednesday, marks the completion of 9 months since #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine

This thread's updated live throughout the day. To check what you missed yesterday, click here:

#Ukraine tonight has accused #Russia of kidnapping mayors of various mayors in #Kherson oblast.

The Interior Ministry says invaders abducted the leaders of several communities in the region and took them to the left bank of the Dnipro when they retreated.

They remain missing
It's potentially a huge day for the #EU.
The Union is today scheduled to set its price limit for #Russia's fuel.

Two questions - can they set it at a level which can hold and damage the Kremlin, and can they get all members to agree to it.

Day 272 of #Russia 4 day plan to take #Kyiv and 10 days to control #Ukraine. How's that going?

Here is another daily thread covering all the news as it happens.

Missed something yesterday? Here's the link for all Monday's news:

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine

Let's start with the daily losses as estimated by #Ukraine.

The total of #Russia's soldiers killed for Putin's egotistical and illegal dream has reached 85,000

The 100,000 figure remain on track to be hit shortly before New Year.

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine️ Image
British Intelligence comes to the conclusion I wrote about four days ago when #Ukraine appeared to have struck an oil terminal on #Russia's Black Sea coast with a 'marine drone'

Sunday 20 November is the day the world cup starts in Qatar. It's also day 270 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine.

Welcome to the daily thread with all the news, updated throughout the day.

Here's the link for yesterday's thread:
I mention the World Cup as #Russia has a history of using big events to hide some of the worst atrocities.

In 2014 the Terrorist State was actually covertly invading #Crimea while hosting the Winter Olympics.

And don't forget FIFA let Russia host the last WC despite waging war.
Again fairly quiet overnight in #Ukraine and for the last 24 hours little movement on the frontline.

#Russia's daily losses reflect that with the trend towards lower numbers continuing for the time being.

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.

Thursday 17 November, Day 267 of the war as #Ukraine fights for survival and #Russia continues its string of war crimes

This is the start of the daily thread. It takes a lot of work and buying me a coffee (see profile) would really cheer me up on this wet day

All the news here:
It's been fairly quiet overnight again, #Russia seemingly using up its dwindling stocks of missiles after the mass attack earlier this week.

If you need to catch up on yesterday's news, here's the thread for Wednesday:

A reminder of this happening in the Netherlands today

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.
