It's Friday, it's Day 282 of #RussiaUkraineWar

This is the start of another daily thread.

As always if you missed some of yesterday or need a catch up, here's the link to scroll through:

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

All eyes on whether #Russia's death toll in the war will reach 100,000 by New Year and it certainly looks like it.

Today #Ukraine's estimate passes 90,000 and daily losses are trending upwards again.

#RussiansGoHome #SaveUkraine
Here's the daily update from the UK.

This points out how retreating brings further problems. #Russia now inviting #Ukraine's artillery to be able to hit more important targets.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
Another of #Russia's bases in occupied #Zaporizhzhia may have been hit.

A local Telegram channel is reporting that during the night explosions hit Akimova, a district of #Melitopol.

Awaiting confirmation...

#SlavaUkraini
#Russia has lost another aircraft today, but nowhere near #Ukraine.

A MiG-31 fighter jet has crashed in Primorsky Krai in the far east of the country.

The pilots ejected and the plane's reported to have crashed away from houses. No other damage.

#StopRussia
Notices have appeared in the #Vasylivka district of occupied part of #Zaporozhzhia region... #Russia's "authorities" are telling people the place is being evacuated.

#RussiansGoHome #SlavaUkraini
A nice thread from earlier today on the "state of play" with regards to #Russia's Black Sea Fleet and cruise missiles.

However in the last hour Head of #Mykolaiv, Vitaliy Kim has said "a bunch of ships" was brought out but "they only have 12 missiles."

The clampdown on the Moscow church in #Ukraine goes on.
Raids on "religious" buildings in 3 more areas by the Security Service today.

Meanwhile the National Security Council has imposed sanctions on a number of "clergymen" including one of the heads of the Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra
There's been a strong explosion in #Dnipro this afternoon.

One region of the city was hit during the air raid warning which has just finished sounding.

No further details at the moment.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine's Defence says the border regions of #Chernihiv and #Sumy were shelled a combined total of 170 times in the last 24 hours.

Thankfully few residents remain in the villages being targeted and casualties are usually minimal, but the destruction continues.

#StopRussia
Early this morning #Russia managed to hit infrastructure in the free part of #Zaporizhzhia.

No casualties reported and the strong fire at another energy target, was eventually brought under control.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
I can't verify this and the photo could have been manipulated, but some media are reporting the theft of one of #Banksy's artworks in #Kyiv region.

This graffiti art has supposedly been cut from the wall in #Hostomel, with police already detaining the suspected culprits.
Call me an old cynic, but I'm not convinced by Mayor of #Dnipro here.

He claims the smoke rising during an air raid warning, and shortly after an explosion was heard, was "coke cooling by our respected metalworkers"

Well, I report what both sides say!
Regular contributor @CarolynnePries1 got very excited over this clip! It's from a live stream of the #Shivulech volcano, which is expected to erupt any day now in #Russia's far-east #Kamchatka region.

A helicopter passing at low altitude, presumably to lower contamination risk?
Independent media outlet in #Russia Meduza, is reporting the Occupiers are prepared to leave the nuclear power plant at #Enerhodar, in exchange for guaranteed transit of Russian fuels through #Ukraine.

meduza.io/feature/2022/1…
35 operations in 8 months for this poor girl 😢

Another reason we know that
#RussiaIsATerroristState

Occupiers are outraged after a rocket hit a supermarket in central #Donetsk

At least one person died here.
However #Russia has previously shelled occupied territories, presumably to try to increase hatred of #Ukraine️ among locals.
An army fighting for a just cause, for the very existence of its homeland🇺🇦

Against an army raping, pillaging and murdering civilians in the name of a fantasist Botox filled bunker boy🇷🇺

#RussiaOnFire

In #Moscow a Meat Processing Plant is on fire.
This is in the Tagansky district of Moscow.
Missed this a little earlier. #Ukraine's Defence Minister confirms they now have the Hawk Anti-Aircraft system, provided by #Spain

The #EU has finally agreed to set a price limit on #Russia's oil (transported by sea) at $60 a barrel.

The G7 is expected to make a statement on Sunday. But it may yet be scrapped without support from other nations - China and India previously indicated they would not agree.
Heartbreaking. How many lives? How many families and relatives may never know where their relatives were buried, if they were even buried.

#Mariupol - likely 10,000 civilians died here when #Russia pummelled the city with zero regard for human life.

The historic #Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra has been officially registered as part of the #Ukraine patriarchy.
Previously it has been part of the #Moscow branch of the Orthodox Church.

Culture Minister Oleksandr Tkachenko reassured people monks there will not be forced to move.
More unrest among #Russia's new recruits.

These are said to be mobilised soldiers at a training camp in #Kazan. They were told they couldn't see relatives, so just smashed open the gate and a fight started.

#RussiansGoHome
#USA Secretary of State @SecBlinken has named #Russia's mercenary group #Wagner as an "entity of concern" regarding religious freedom.

#Russia (and notably #SaudiArabia) are named as having engaged in or tolerated particularly severe violations of religious freedom.

Day 283 of #Russia's war of choice on #Ukraine is with us.

Again a relatively quite night in the #RussiaUkraineWar. but still news coming up of rocket attacks by Russia and more heavy losses for the invaders.

All the news, all day, in one thread, read on!⬇️
As always, a quick link for yesterday's thread in case you missed anything, such as the #USA naming the #Wagner group and another rebellion among #Russia's newly mobilised (cannon fodder)

I estimated 100,000 Russian soldiers would be killed shortly after the "western"/Catholic Christmas. Now it looks like it will happen just before then as high losses continue for #Russia

As well as another 500+ killed, an uptick in drone hits and a helicopter brought down. Image

Today is Day 278 since #Russia declared all out war on #Ukraine

Many battles have been won by those defending their homeland, but the war against Putin's hordes continues.

Every day I bring you the important news in one handy thread, starting right here⬇️
A late start today and a travel day for me, so I'll update as and when I can.

Thankfully it remains pretty quiet in terms of attacks and destruction. So not too much news the last 24 hours or so, but you can catch up on yesterday's thread here:

First, I wanted to highlight this report by #Ukraine's respected @pravda_eng

It looks at how, and why, President @ZelenskyyUa gained his own TV channel, while other oligarchs were squeezed out of the media market. This echoes my own concerns:

Hello and thanks for reading the first tweet in my daily thread covering the #Russia war on #Ukraine.

Sunday 27 November is Day 277 since February's invasion. To catch up on yesterday's developments you can click and scroll here:

A bold statement from Britain's Ministry of Defence in the daily update.

The UK has seldom made such outright predictions. Also worth adding #Russia has claimed total control of Pavlivka four times I think.

#StandWithUkraine
This morning a big attack by #Russia on the city of #KrivyiRih.

#Ukraine's officials are not saying much, but we do know there were two explosions at, or near, the railway station in the city in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

No photos yet.
