Saturday is Day 381 of #Russia's attempt to obliterate #Ukraine from the map, to destroy an independent nation and centuries of culture.

This is the only thread you need for all the news and developments around the war, here's y'day's thread to catch up:

Starting today with the British Intel update. London confirms that #Wagner troops have reached the centre of #Bakhmut. However they explain why #Ukraine is still holding #Russia at bay in the #Donetsk town.

They don't supply a map, so I've added 2 from Google + DeepState to help
There are so many exaggerations, lies & fakes in all wars; I guess these days it's easier, quicker to spread + difficult & time consuming to try to spot fakes.

But here's one. As news of Leopard tanks being deployed by #Ukraine, a crude photoshop of a🇷🇺 chevron on an old photo
Something else #Russia loves to do is humiliate people. Even schoolchildren.
This girl in #Crimea posted on Insta that a popular #Ukraine supermarket may open in Sevastopol and "soon we will return home."

So she's then forced to "apologise" in front of the Occupiers' flag.
Many explosions reported this morning in various districts of #Melitopol'. No reports on what exactly happened, but unlikely to be Occupiers' training if the bangs are so widely spread.

In my opinion the small city in #Zaporizhzhia is likely the key to stopping #Russia.
nother day with over 1,000 soldiers* sacrificed by #Russia in its' attempt to destroy #Ukraine. This is supported by the British update explaining how invaders are picked off in #Bakhmut by reinforced Ukrainian positions, and it's replicated throughout #Donbas.

* Kyiv estimate
It's equally disgusting and unbelievable what #Russia does.
First they whine about American/UK/EU "interference" anywhere the people want freedom. Then they basically threaten an invasion if the people of #Georgia don't cease their demonstrations.

Threats because they're worried
The UK targets @Olympics sponsors after @iocmedia continues to support the inclusion of athletes from the Terrorist State in the Paris games next year.

Around 250 #Ukraine athletes have been murdered in the illegal war. 1000s more have nowhere to train.

After sabotage of a railway line at #Bakhchisaray in Occupied #Crimea, it's reported Tatars are again being targeted by #Russia

Protest group FemAgainstWar says Akhtyom Ismailov's home in #Simferopol was raided today. He's the 3rd Crimean Tatar to have his home searched.
2/2

The news of the persecution of #Crimea's Tatar community comes shortly after political prisoner Dzhemil Gafarov died in a pre-trial detention centre.

Dzhemil was a defendant in the Hizb ut-Tahrir case, where the FSB is detaining activists of the Crimean Tatar movement.
Four areas of #Ukraine still suffer from lack of power as a result of the mass missile attack.

#Kharkiv, #Zhytomyr #Dnipropetrovsk and #Mykolaiv are all still affected.

However Ukrenergo says a TPP in #Kharkov has been repaired and Kharkiv may have full power again soon.
#Slovakia's a key figure in the alliance. But a new poll puts ex PM Robert Fico ahead. He recently said the war in #Ukraine was started by "Ukrainian fascists" in 2014, and it's impossible to return annexed #Crimea.

Elections are in 6 months. Fico's Smer-SD leads.
Poll: DennikN
#RussiaOnFire

During the night a big blaze at the plastic production workshop in Kolabino near #Moscow.

The roof of the building collapsed as the fire intensified.
#Russia's MoD releases a video showing it hitting a British-made Stormer HVM anti-aircraft missile system, given to #Ukraine.

They claim it was destroyed by "a high-precision loitering ammunition of the Lancet type."

I've been checking this for a while and it looks genuine.
Three people have been killed in another atrocious Russian war crime inflicted on #Kherson.

#Russia's forces deliberately hit the popular ATB supermarket. A woman in her 30s and two men in their 40s and 50s died.
Three others were injured, including a 75 year old woman.
A big explosion this morning in #Kostiantynivka (RU: #Konstantinovka)

#Russia continues to shell all towns and villages near the frontline.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
Yep, the Kremlin's old favourite (in its huge armoury of disinfo nonsense) about "bio labs" is due another run out.

Video from the scene of the awful war crime in #Kherson.

A supermarket on a Saturday, deliberately shelled by #Russia's animals.

A reminder 3 people died and a 75 year old woman is among the injured.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
More war crimes on video - this time in #Vuhledar (RU; #Ugledar)

Thermite munitions used on the town in #Donetsk.
Thousands of residents remain, one filmed this, you can see civilian cars getting hit. This is against the Geneva Convention.
Unconfirmed reports of explosions in #Zaporizhzhia. Air raid warning was sounding at the time.
Not known if it was air defence.

#StandWithUkraine
The attack on #Zaporizhzhia has been confirmed now.

#Russia fired S-300 missiles again, aimed at critical infrastructure. No further news of damage or injuries yet.

In occupied #Mariupol' smoke rises from near the airfield.

There have been widespread reports of explosions.

#DonetskIsUkraine
2/2

Many are writing about a video showing smoke near the centre of #Mariupol suggesting it too is a strike by #Ukraine.

However, here's a better video; it seems to be a house fire. Could be a missile but more likely gas or domestic accident in my opinion.

#StandWithUkraine
Another scandal touches @AndriyYermak who heads #Zelenskyy's Presidential office.

Ukraine Online reveals that the Chief Prosecutor of #Kyiv Oleh Kiper used to be personally hired by Yermak as an adviser.
Recently it became known Kiper's wife has a Russian passport & tax number.
Tony N, thank you for another donation to the coffee fund!
As always, very much appreciated and yes - here's to defeat for the evil empire!
💙💛
#Russia seem scared of the #Kraken unit, and their mood won't be improved after seeing this video made by the crack #Ukraine squad.

The Ukraine special forces claim they destroyed two of Russia's observation towers in the #Bryansk and #Kursk regions.

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.
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)
