One of the big developing stories last night was the alleged attack on occupied #Ilovaisk.
In 2014 unarmed #Ukraine soldiers, given "safe passage" by #Russia were ruthlessly gunned down in Ilovaisk.
This video supposedly shows some of the 7 HIMARS strikes on the train station.
One thing I noticed while researching explosions & earthquake in #Iran is that the Tehran regime is supplying #Russia with a lot of Ruyin-3 body armour
Telegram channel iran_defense also writes Russia is "also using Iranian 'Army-02' series helmets derived from the American ACH"
Back to the bad old days. #Putin's dream of recreating the #USSR come a little closer every day.
21st century Hitler Youth moreorless exists already.
Yet more "cargo" being delivered on big planes to/from #Iran and #Russia.
I'm guessing it's not food on board!
#Russia complained but it happened after the curfew and the puppet 'government' has not mentioned casualties. #Ukraine bloggers say troops were arriving when the missiles hit.
More photos from the railway station which was targeted last night. Doesn't look as though much will be coming through here for a while, and if #Russia's mobchiks were arriving when #HIMARS struck there will have been a lot of casualties.
Many of the defenders of #Mariupol remain in captivity.
The heroic #Ukraine servicemen and women ended up in the #Azovstal plant for weeks before the inevitable surrender. Here's how the steelworks looks now:
It's exactly 6 months ago today that #Russia almost certainly bombed its own prison full of #Ukraine Prisoners of War.
Still no real proof other than the drone attack filmed on the drone factory. But it does seem as though #Russia's supply of killer UAVs may be slowed up for a while at least:
This happened in the Kyivskyi district where S-300 missiles were fired by #Russia.
Casualties reported by locals, but unconfirmed. No official news yet from authorities.
#Croatia has arrested 4 people following the investigation into an oligarch's disappearing yacht.
Alisher Usmanov's "Irina Vu" is valued at $5m.
The 58 year old captain claims he didn't know it was impounded, yet somehow a "lookalike" replaced it in port. glashrvatske.hrt.hr/en/domestic/in…

She is one of my most regular supporters 💙💛
At least 3 people have been injured in #Kharkiv when an apartment block was hit by a Russian missile.
This man says they got right inside people's apartments (the missile)
Earlier an elderly woman was known to be trapped under the rubble after #Russia's rocket hit the apartment block in the central Kyivskyi district.
It's not yet clear if she is the one who has died.
Day 1001 of #Russia's all out war in #Ukraine.
The genocide & attempt to wipe its neighbour from the map continues, but #Putin's increasingly desperate.
Welcome to another daily🧵
Breaking news already early this Wednesday morning.
All the news, all day (and night) every day.
Tuesday 19 November was always going to be special. Day 1,000 and what a day it proved.
Record likes and retweets, thanks to everyone who revived my faith in the T witter audience🫂
1/2 First the breaking news - and a third attack of the night inside #Russia.
At the end of yesterday's thread you may have read of the drone attacks on #Voronezh and #Belgorod regions. Well now it's become clear that #Novgorod has also been attacked by #Ukraine's UAVs..
Here's the link back to all Monday's news.
More heinous attacks. On its day of mourning, #Sumy was hit again just as the day ended, and #Odesa lost another ten residents.
Let me start today's news in #Sumy, because sadly the number of killed + injured after #Russia's strike have both increased.
An 11th person died during the night while 89 people required medical treatment. Medics, rescuers, psychologists and volunteers worked through the night.
Day 998 of #Russia's all out war, and Sunday 17 Nov is the day #Moscow's war criminals chose for the big missile attack on #Ukraine
It's such a difficult time for anyone associated with Ukraine. With the election of Musk/Trump, Putin's convinced terrorism will win.
Here's the🧵
Before I forget, here's the link for yesterday's thread. I know many of you like to catch up on what you've missed in #Ukraine and stories connected to the war.
Hello and welcome to Day 996 of #Russia's barbaric war.
Putin's band of war criminals is throwing everything at #Ukraine's defenders for 2 months as the Kremlin is certain tRUmp will force negotiations and wants to be in the strongest position possible.
Here's the daily thread
#Russia is literally teetering on the edge of economic meltdown. If the west does not take this opportunity to ensure justice, protect borders and prosecute war criminals, historians will look back and shake their heads. They may also ask why do anything in the previous 3 years?
Anyway, let's get on with the stories of the day, although we start as ever with the link back to Thursday's thread.
It was a day which saw more problems for #Russia, more war crimes with a civilian shot dead on the street and a terrible attack on #Odesa
Very near 1000 days of war in Europe, but also we should remember that #Ukraine's allies were pretty happy to let the first invasion by #Russia in 2014 go unchecked.
Weakness, appeasement or shady deals for cash only store up and multiply problems.
Here my daily🧵on Day 995
First thing first, the link for the start of yesterday's thread.
Plenty of evidence of #Russia's pending economic collapse, especially masses of airlines. Plus rioting absconders in Russia and assassination of one of their war criminals. All in here⬇️
