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
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'

#StopRussia #SlavaUkraini
First photos have appeared of the destruction of #Russia's base near #Melitopol, reported here a couple of days ago

This is the state of the building in #Vesele now. Tyre tracks can be seen leaving the building after the missile strikes, presumably full of "Cargo 200" (the dead)
Outrage in the Russian Orthodox Church in #Ukraine as Security Service agents raid the historic #Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra.

The SBU says it is tackling subversive activities of #Russia's special services, ensuring premises are not used to hide sabotage groups or store weapons etc.
#Iran's state News Agency reports top level meetings with #Ukraine over the supply of attack drones to #Russia

"Iran believes misunderstandings that have arisen... can be resolved through continued joint engagement on the issue of alleged drones."
#StopRussia
Remind me: who invaded whom?

#Belgorod is strengthening its border with #Ukraine. The paranoia in #Russia's regions closest to Ukraine is reaching crazy levels.

Maybe it's to stop people leaving or importing weapons to start a Belgorod People's Republic?
All schools in #VelikieLuki in #Russia had to be evacuated this morning.

It's a town of 100,000 people in #Pskov Oblast.

The bomb-scare epidemic continues.
Technology firm Nvidia has finally announced it has quit #Russia, nine months after the illegal war commenced.

@nvidia is one of the world's leading Artificial Intelligence companies.

Another EU leader is "scammed" by #Russia's infamous pranksters "Vovan & Lexus"

Impersonating Emanuel Macron, they managedto speak with Polish President Andrzej Duda on the day a rocket fell in #Poland.

The pair must have assistance from RU Intelligence to get past security
2/2

In the call, #Poland's leader Duda said he wouldn't want to allow a "war with Russia" as a result of the Russian made rocket killed two people in the east of Poland.

The conversation was in English, but the only recording I can find so far is with Russian dubbing
Add to the previous tweets.

I cannot hear all of what #Poland's President Duda says, but here is what #Russia's 'comedians' quoted him as saying:
In #Russia the owners of a warehouse that caused a huge fire in central Moscow at the weekend, have been arrested.

It's now known seven people died in the blaze.
#RussiaOnFire

A fair bit of anger in #Ukraine and #Romania today at the actions of #Hungary's Prime Minister.

Viktor #Orbán met one of the country's top footballers Balazs Dzsudsak.

But Orbán was wearing a scarf of "Great Hungary" which right-wingers say includes parts of Romania + Ukraine.
#Kherson's been under attack from #Russia most of this morning with shells falling again now

Earlier a rocket smashed into this house. The owner was inside but survived. One man was injured.

Remember the Kremlin still considers Kherson part of its territory, "killing their own"
Interesting video, spotted by @Tango9_Ali, but I have not been able to verify its authenticity.

It's supposedly from a club in #Kemerovo in #Russia. Locals started arguing with newly mobilised soldiers.
More "friendly fire" - good job they've not been given guns yet!
The Telegraph reports #UK is sending the new laser-guided "Brimstone" missile to #Ukraine

It can travel double the range of the previous model.

Thanks to Gerry for buying me a coffee and thanks to anyone sending me tip offs - my DMs are open (which means I get a lot of unwanted crap!) and thank you to everyone else for reading/following.

Earlier I reported #Ukraine's Intelligence searching the holy Lavra site in #Kyiv.

Now it transpires searches have taken place in two more sites of the Moscow patriarch of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine.

In #Rivne the church is accused of hiding saboteurs from Belarus.
2/2

The #Russia-aligned church in #Rivne oblast is also accused of spreading Kremlin propaganda.

#Ukraine says around $17,500 was found in the administration of the Sarnensko-Polesye diocese of the UOC.

However these photos are all that's been released so far by #Kyiv
I tweeted this very late last night, so worth another outing today:

#Ukraine has summoned #Hungary's ambassador to its Foreign Ministry in #Kyiv.

They say "the unacceptability of Viktor Orban's act will be brought to his attention"

In #Donetsk, a house has been destroyed after shelling in the #Kirovsky district of the occupied city.

Two people were injured.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Looks like there was a lucky escape in #Kramatorsk.

A petrol station was shelled, but escaped explosion.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #RussiansGoHome
Remember #Russia's MOD saying #Belgorod was now safe from #Ukraine shelling as they'd destroyed the MLRS which was hitting the border villages?

You guessed it, they're now blaming #Ukraine for shelling of #Shebekino. A woman was killed.

They also claim a hospital was shelled.
#Ukraine's Presidential Adviser can't resist a cheeky dig at #Russia and the changing objectives of the invaders' "special military operation"

More smoke rising in #Kherson.

Grad missiles thought to be targeting the liberated city.

#SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
This is Sofiia, a teenage girl in recently liberated #Makiivka in #Luhansk oblast.

She clings to her guinea pig as the family leaves the village which is being evacuated.

#StandWithUkraine️ #StopRussia
📷TG Tsaplienko
So called "religious" types in #Russia have called for #HarryPotter to be banned in the country.

Shows and festivals dedicated to @jk_rowling's character are becoming popular in the country but now planned events in Moscow and St Petersburg could be scrapped after this appeal.
Explosions confirmed in occupied #Tokmak quite near #Melitopol in #Zaporizhzhia region.
Effective campaigning.

@redbull @RedBullUK have blood on their hands. Every drink bought gives tax for #Russia to kill more Ukrainians.

It's a moral duty.

About an hour ago, the Occupiers in #Crimea reported a drone attack on the west coast of the peninsula.

#Russia obviously says all objects were shot down by air defence. Loud explosions reported in Evpatoria initially but also later near Sevastopol and Balaklava.
Update from #Crimea

This is reported to be Trade pavilions on fire right now on Khrustalny Beach in #Sevastopol

I cannot verify the video and although I do think it's likely genuine it's possible it could be caused by a falling drone rather than a successful hit.
The European Parliament will soon declare the mercenary group #Wagner a terrorist organisation.

@JamesCleverly @RishiSunak - shouldn't UK do the same?
More shelling in #Kherson today.
This time the Russians hit the Ostriv or "island" quarter, in the south of the city, on the river.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
The decline in #Putin's influence and popularity continues.
This is in #Armenia this evening.

#StopRussia
Thank you Darren G for the gift of a coffee and a cake too actually - saved for the morning!
More rockets reported to be fired at #Kherson from the occupied side of the river.
#Kherson - a rocket has landed in Ostriv district again. That means "island" in Ukrainian: as the name suggests it's the area next to the river.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Bulgaria has surprised many with how resolute its support for #Ukraine has been.

But now a potential row with the #EU after they decided to defy sanctions and allow Lukoil's Black Sea refinery to keep exporting oil products to Europe.

abcnews.go.com/International/…
One more insult and war crime in #Kherson committed by #Russia

The invaders are accused of looting the Ukrainian Private bank, opening all the private safe boxes and stealing the personal belongings.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
UPDATE:
#Russia's sources say they prevented an attack on the thermal power plant at #Balaklava this evening.

Occupying authorities in #Crimea say a number of drones were shot down near, or en route, to the facility.

Impossible to validate the claims.

Hello again and welcome to the weekend and another daily thread. All the important Ukraine news, fact-checked, every single day (never missed one yet).

It's Day 1235 and signs that Russia is becoming increasingly desperate. Let's begin:
Don't know about you, but I was up most of the night documenting another huge Russian attack.

If you missed it, you can catch up on that, as well as the rest of Friday's news by clicking here for the start of yesterday's thread:

23 missiles + almost 600 drones flew from Russia overnight, trying to destroy Ukraine's infrastructure, culture & people.

Air defence did well, shooting down 25 of 26 Kh-101 cruise missiles.
Of 597 attack UAVs, 319 were shot down, another 258 stopped via EW, or decoy drones. Image

Day 1233 of a war that's the biggest threat to the future stability of the lives of every person reading this.

The root cause is extremist, imperialist and anti-democratic forces being allowed to wage war unchecked. Ukraine in the firing line today, but who's next? Here's the🧵
Another very difficult night for Ukraine, especially Kyiv, with more deaths now confirmed in the capital.

It was a second successive very long and loud night for many. To bring yourself up to date on all yesterday's news, click the link:

First breaking news this morning from Kyiv, where a man has been shot dead in the Holosiivskyi district of the capital.

It's now been confirmed that the victim is a colonel of the Security Service of Ukraine.
The gunman used fired from a gun with a silencer and fled in a SUV. Image

A very bright and warm good morning to you, on Day 1231 of Russia's war of choice

Putin's choice to invade a sovereign, peaceful neighbour, to ruin the economy, to send hundreds of thousands of his countrymen to die

Is the tide about to turn? Here's THE daily thread on Ukraine
Well 2 days ago I was optimistic, and today that optimism is borne out.

But first, let's backtrack to yesterday, and in among the forehands and backhands, I still managed to produce a good thread with a Pimms or two🎾

An awful lot of people criticised me (well, I picked up a lot of bots and Kremlin stooges too) for saying that the Donald would backtrack.

But I read the runes and I was correct. Trump has unequivocally promised more weapons for Ukraine.

I think among Ukraine watchers there is a bit of positivity.

It's thread + Day 1229 of the full invasion of🇺🇦, ordered by a now indicted war criminal.

I'll tell you about my renewed optimism during today's 🧵so let's start the Sunday show..
As always (unless I forget!), here's the link to the start of the previous day's news round-up.
It was a 22 (yes, twenty-two) hour marathon.

So the least you can do is read it all 😂😇
.. or send me a KoFi💙💛

I'll start with very recent news as there's been another big attack in daylight hours.

Shortly before 10am, Russian drones hit another military recruitment centre, this time in Kremenchuk.

Well already this Saturday morning, Russia is feeling a bit sick.

Ukraine's famed Dr One visited various places on a busy round of night calls.

And next on the list, Engels in the Saratov region.

A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.

With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.

Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv Image
