The blaze broke out this morning at the building in #Perm'

#RussiaOnFire

Smoke can be seen across the city of #Perm'

500 people have been evacuated from the power plant. Authorities are worried the fire will spread to other buildings. All the city's firefighters are attending.
And another chapter of #RussiaOnFire

This morning a huge blaze consumed the "Vzletka Plaza" mall in #Krasnoyarsk.

The blaze at the shopping centre is reported to have started at the front of the mall and then spread to the roof. No casualties reported.
President Zelenskyy's spokesman responded to @vonderleyen's statement that over 100,000 #Ukraine soldiers have been killed in the war.

Serhiy Nikiforov says he doesn't know where she got the figure and only data from Ukraine's leaders can be trusted.

#RussiaOnFire AGAIN!

#Ukraine attack in #Bryansk?
Local officials report "an unidentified munition, dropped from a drone" hit a tank of diesel in the Surazh district. The explosion lit two more fuel tanks

#StopRussia
Amusingly, #China's state TV channel CGTV referred to the "#Bryansk People's Republic" in its' report on the fire!

Does Beijing know something we don't? Are they supporting an independence referendum?

The Tweet has since been deleted
Survival specialist @BearGrylls may find his new mission among his toughest!

He's just arrived in #Ukraine in sub zero temperatures and frequent power outages! Locals are joking they can teach him a thing or two on survival!

In #Kherson, another school was shelled today.
This will continue every day until #Russia is forced out of artillery range, i.e. out of all of Kherson.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
New sign at the entrance to #Izium -

#StandWithUkraine
#Ukraine partizans in occupied #Zaporizhzhia say another collaborator has been killed.

Recent artillery strikes in Tokmak are said to have accounted for the so-called head of the Internal Affairs Department in the town, Alexey Koshel.
President @ZelenskyyUa takes a swipe at Elon Musk's ill-informed statements.

Zelenskyy says Twitter's owner is invited to see the damage done to #Ukraine by #Russia's forces so "he can understand the situation before making pronouncements about it."

#Germany's Bundestag has recognised #Holodomor as genocide of the the people of #Ukraine.
A lot of discussion today about how many of #Ukraine's troops have died in this war.
Ursula @vonderleyen was chided earlier for saying it was over 100,000 which the EU later said meant killed and injured.

Now Presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych says just over 10k have died.
A fair bit of shelling in Occupied #Donetsk this evening.

It's reported the shopping centre "Donetsk City" was damaged as missiles landed in the Kyivskyi district in the centre.

Here's the moment of the arrival

#DonetskIsUkraine #StopRussia
More photos from the scene of the big blast in central #Donetsk this evening.

No word yet on casualties from the Occupying authorities.

Welcome to another daily thread covering all the important things happening in Ukraine right now, and therefore by (unwanted association) Russia too.

All things fact checked, analysed and explained.
The news you can rely on, every day, in one place.

It's Day 1361. I'm late!⏰
Well I had a lovely lie-in as, all things considered it was a relatively news-free morning

My "bitter enders" (those who make it through to the very end of the🧵) will know there was a big attack on Dnipro which kept me reporting late.
Missed it? click⬇️
One thing I've had to do is wade through Trump's interview on GB News. It's actually been worthwhile because it's a wonderful example I can use to train what NOT to do!

Main points being:
1'48" to ask a question is dreadful
Such simpering loses all credibility before you begin

The first few hours of Day 1360 of Russia's genocidal war started with Ukrainians in shelters. More innocent lives have been claimed by the Moscow horde.

The west unable or unwilling to stop the slaughter despite 1000s of war crimes.
We're not incapable, must not be unwilling.
One of the heaviest bombardments Kyiv has ever known dominated y'day's thread and the start of today's.

But Ukraine also continues to pick-off financial targets inside Russia

It all made for one of the longest🧵 so far - the least you can do is read it!

I am not starting in Kyiv though, because this Friday morning has already seen more murder and another clear terrorist attack by Russia.

A UAV smashed into the town centre of Chornomorsk, another Black Sea port just south of Odesa

2 dead, 7 injured

Day 1359 of Europe's war.
Welcome to Thursday's daily🧵 with all the important news from Ukraine + Russia, without gratuitous gory bits.

Every single day, without a break for holiday or illness, I've been here using my 🇺🇦experience & sources to fact check everything. Let's Go!
Wednesday's thread saw evidence of:
Long-range strikes by Ukraine
Russia Collapsing
Ukraine tackling a major corruption scandal.

Catch up by clicking, scrolling, then coming back here for today's news!

It remained quiet overnight for most in Ukraine, but this morning at least six people have been injured in a Russian strike in Mykolaiv.

Three of the victims are in a 'serious' condition in hospital after the drone attack.

Hello again, thanks for visiting my Ukraine thread on Day 1353

Views/likes are down on both sites I post on: possible war fatigue

It's exactly what Putin wants from the world - to wear us down so we accept a deal to stop the killing
This will embolden Putin & hasten war v NATO
Here's the link for Thursday's thread.
It was a day which saw Ukraine inflict a fair amount of damage on Russia's energy sector and the crisis is nearing for Putin as it cannot export oil.

The energy crisis for Ukraine is about people surviving winter:
I'll start with the battle for Pokrovsk, as DeepState updated the map 40 mins ago.

Zero change in the lines since yesterday.
That's excellent for Ukraine but I fear the cost.

Of course things constantly change in the grey zone but no breakthrough.

Welcome to November, which becomes the 46th different month to see fighting in Ukraine

And yet Russia is nowhere near its aim of Kyiv in 3 days.
Indeed 1,344 days behind schedule as we start today's thread on Day 1347 of the full invasion

Please think about sending a KoFi💙💛
Friday saw a lot of damage in Russia, an attempted counter-attack in Pokrovsk, Trump blank Orbán, power cuts in Moscow and so much more.

Clicking here⬇️will take you to the start of yesterday's🧵. Scroll through, catch-up then remember to come back here
Ukraine claims to have damaged a key Russian oil pipeline at Ramenskoe in Moscow region.

Their video shows all 3 (gasoline, diesel, aviation) fuel lines of the 400km Koltsevoy pipeline blown up.

The first pic shows guards patrolling, the second shows the explosives attached..

Hello again, on Day 1346 of the war.
Russia's genocidal war, that's both the intent and the reality as Ukraine fights to keep not only democracy, independence and freedom but also to avoid its culture and language being eradicated.

This is THE daily thread. Happy Hallowe'en
Due to various different events, I am still awake & instead of adding to y'day's thread, I thought it best to start a new one, then get some sleep.

First, the link for Thursday's🧵which started with Russia's mass missile attack but ended with🇺🇦 attacking
A quick reminder the first serious blow struck by Ukraine's long range weapons, came in Oryol.

A power plant was struck, though Russia told its people it was only drone debris (again)
