Hello and welcome to the daily thread on the #RussiaUkraineWar today coming live from #Ukraine.

At the start of Day 287 I crossed the border and I'm still on the train as the snow gets heavier and thicker.

If anyone wants to buy me a coffee I'd be very appreciative. Dyakuyu!
A fairly quiet night in #Ukraine - but as always if you need to catch up on yesterday's news, it's all in one handy place. Here's the start of yesterday's thread:

Last night we saw enemy drones being shot down. The #Iran Shaheed "Kamikaze" UAVs returning in numbers to the skies over #Ukraine.

At least 8 were shot down, mainly in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

This one was destroyed in #Zhytomyr region having flown through #Kyiv

#StopRussia
Finally, one of the teams we helped with our fundraiser, has recorded a message for you guys, especially the major donators, some of whom are named in this video just received.

They're in #Zaporizhzhia oblast. Others are in #Bakhmut and making videos is not their #1 priority
One thing really struck me on this journey, especially in view of the abuse I've been given for writing #Ukraine place names first then #Russia's spelling second.
Probably over half the people on this train speaking Russian not Ukrainian, including Anna & Violetta at my table
Occupiers in #Donesk report 6 people died in yesterday's shelling of the city centre (see video)

Meanwhile in the region today 16 were killed in an accident between a military vehicle and a minibus. It happened between Torez and Shakhtyorsk. Not yet known how many were soldiers
Following on from the last tweet there's now a video from the scene of the accident which killed 16 in #Donetsk oblast (here's a screenshot)

There do seem to be a disproportionate number of accidents involving #Russia's military vehicles. Drunkenness?
Arrived at a snowy #Kyiv.
Bade farewell to new friends, the aforementioned Anna and Valentina

#WelcomeToUkraine #StandWithUkraine
Thanks @ATipplingPhilo for the tip for coffee and likely a Lviv Croissant too!

Link in my bio if you want to help me stay warm!💙💛
Criminal acts in this war take many different forms.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

Sorry for hours offline. A gruelling day and not much chance to use wifi.

It's very humbling to walk or drive along streets I know well in #Kyiv, to randomly see a bomb site, charred office tower block for example.

One thing I've noticed is even the graffiti are patriotic!
One other thing, I knew the patriotism had been turned up to 11, but I think it's actually 15.

The music channel I usually have on in the background when working on the laptop used to have a decent mix of #Ukraine and western tunes.

Now ONLY 🇺🇦 and EVERY SONG is about the war.
Time to catch up on the real news now, and starting with a tragic development in liberated #Kherson.

Four policemen from #Cherkasy (RU: #Cherkassy) have been killed when their patrol car hit one of #Russia's landmines.

#HeroiamSlava
Nice thread here with a lot of satellite photos proving #Russia is moving (some of) its aircraft away from #Ryazan after the #Ukraine drone strike and the nadly damaged one has been removed.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
A court in #Lviv has stripped the Mayor of #Chernihiv of the role. Vladyslav Atroshenko was also fined $185 after being found guilty of actions described as "a conflict of interests"

Many though agree with Atroshenko that it's politically motivated after clashes with Zelenskyy.
Incidentally I spent much of today at the @dovzhenkocentre in #Kyiv speaking with people fearful that the cultural centre, film archive and growing hipster hang-out is under attack from mysterious figures trying to close them down.

Photo from last month's protests.
#RussiaOnFire
Some more careless smokers no doubt, as yet another "gas explosion" occurred in the Terrorist State today.

This was the Targim shopping centre in #Nazran.
Four people were injured.
At least 10 people have died after shelling of the village of #Kurakhove in #Donetsk region

President Zelenskyy described it in his evening speech as a deliberate target on civilians. A market, bus station, petrol station and residential buildings were all hit

#StandWithUkraine

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.
Situation today vs a week ago Image

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)

Russia will not stop until it's stopped.
The war ends the moment Russia leaves.
Russia lies repeatedly (we won't invade Ukraine, we didn't kill Litvinenko, didn't kill 300 on MH17, didn't use Novichok in the UK etc etc)

We MUST NOT trust Putin.

Day 1345. Here's my daily thread
It's proved a very difficult morning for Ukraine, especially in the west. Russia tried to ensure misery and destruction, hits everyone across Ukraine.

At dawn missiles rained down, the start of the overnight attack was covered at the end of yesterday's🧵
There has been another big attack on Ukraine's energy sector with DTEK saying thermal power plants in various regions were hit.

They say it's the 3rd massive attack on the company's TPPs in October.

Various missiles and drones were fired by Russia. Image

It's Day 1336 of Russia's full invasion, but that only started because the world didn't provide a deterrent almost 12 years ago when Putin first tested the west's response by invading Crimea

The west failed the test. Are we about to fail the biggest exam too?
It's Tim's daily🧵
There was a big drone attack on western Russia last night, with Rostov in particular feeling the heat

There was also plenty of heat again on Russia's largest gas facility, the Georgian 'government' doing Russia's fascist work, and an a tragedy in Kherson
Ukraine was subjected to 6 missiles and almost 100 attack drones overnight.

None of the 2 ballistics, or 4 S-300 missiles was shot down

Of 98 UAVs launched, 3 were still flying.
Of the remaining 95, just 58 were stopped = 61%

Russia's 37 drones and 6 missiles hit 10 locations Image

An explosive start to Day 1334 of Russia's 10-day operation to erase Ukraine from the map.

Not quite #EATP for Putin.
An early start to Sunday's thread as we have news from central and eastern Russia.

All the news, all the time, every damn day. Here we go again!
So much happened yesterday and the fireworks really started in the last couple of hours.

Do yourself a favour and have a quick skim through what you missed from Saturday's news about Ukraine's battle for survival. Incredibly only 14,000 views😳🫣

Two major hits by Ukraine this morning, way, way back, deep into Russia.

Those with me a few minutes ago will already know some of the details but we have a few more sights to show you, starting in Orenburg.

Here, locals say a gas plant has been hit by drones. Image
