Day 388 of the war. The day after the International Criminal Court indicted Putin with a war crime.

Welcome to Saturday's thread with all the news concerning #Ukraine's defence against #Russia's aggression & invasion.

Updated throughout the day so come back and check regularly!
Well Friday was an historic day as the current President of a permanent member of the UN Security Council was charged with a war crime. It will be the first of many.

To read more about that & all yesterday's news about #Russia's was on #Ukraine, click⬇️

1/3
#Russia attacked again last night, sending 16 attack drones to #Ukraine.

Air defence in Ukraine destroyed 11 of the Iranian made Shahid UAVs, which were launched simultaneously from the Sea of Azov and Bryansk.

But there was damage from the others.
#StopRussia
2/3

Two of #Russia's kamikaze drones struck fuel storage facilities in #Novomoskovsk in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

One has to ask why #Ukraine's air defence couldn't protect such critical infrastructure when "only" 16 UAVs were fired.

There were also explosions near #Lviv - but we only have audio recordings of the sounds in the region.

The Governor Maksym Kozytsky saying full details will only be released in the morning.

#StopRussia
There was also danger for the inhabitants of #Zaporizhzhia (RU: #Zaporozhe), but not from drones.

#Russia fired S-300 anti-aircraft missiles on the city, with two explosions from reports I've seen with the latest one being shortly after 03:00
No initial reports of damage yet.
Problems too in #Kostyantynivka (RU: #Konstantinovka)

#Russia's shelling hit another residential building in the town near the frontline in #Donetsk region.
No news of casualties.

Happening now in #Moscow

The historic St Peter and Paul Orthodox Church is on fire. Situated quite near the centre, just outside the Garden Ring, it was reputedly designed by Peter The Great.
Thank you Sarah E for buying me a couple of coffees through the link on my profile page.

It takes a lot of work compiling these threads every day and I really appreciate any support 💙💛
This is the scene in #Zaporizhzhia where, as I reported earlier in the thread, #Russia struck with S-300 missiles.

A small cafe took the force of the hit, in a residential area. Most nearby apartments had their windows blown out.
Remarkably no one was injured.

#StopRussia
880* invading soldiers from #Russia died in #Ukraine in the last 24 hours.
The Kremlin's total number of dead in the war may hit 165,000 tomorrow. It was just 16 days ago that the total reached 150k

*Kyiv estimates
#RussiansGoHome
Britain's Intel update today concentrates on #Russia's ability to call up new troops.

The change in conscript age may seem like no change with the same 10-year band. But it gives access all at once to all those who were 17, 18, 19 and 20 last year.

#StandWithUkraine
A video now from #Zaporizhzhia where S-300 missiles shattered the quiet of the night.

The cafe I referred to earlier is now known to be the Monica Bellucci restaurant in the north of the city.

More defensive anti-tank measures have appeared on occupied #Crimea.

The "Dragon's Teeth" here are on the Ak-Monaisky according to "Krym Realii", between the villages of Batalna and Primorsk.
A 77 year old man from #Perm' has been fined by a court in #Russia.

Recently he held a legal one-man protest. His placard said "Mr. Makhonin, I demand the completion of the SVO (war)." (Dmitry Makhonin is governor of Perm)

Viktor Gilin was found guilty of discrediting the army.
#BakhmutHolds
No real change in positions around the town in #Donetsk. However, #Russia has made some ground south-west of Bakhmut, towards #Ivanivske.
This continues the invaders' attempts to cut off #Ukraine troops defending the town.
A few more details are dribbling out from authorities in #Lviv following the drone strikes last night.

Governor Maksym Kozytskyi confirms 3 UAVs hit "non-residential buildings in Yavorivskyi district" near the border with Poland.

No casualties but no further details.
A weekend video postcard from #Vuhledar (RY: #Ugledar), which #Russia has been trying to capture for months.

My thanks fo @mjjsmorenburg for the coffee! Gratefully received Maarten, cheers for the continued support.💙💛
On the final day of the old agreement, a new agreement for the grain deal has been reached, and it's for 120 days, which #Russia initially objected to.

#StandWithUkraine

In #Donetsk region, occupying officials claim they've been hit by HIMARS rockets.

This is the scene at #Khartsyzsk, 25km east of Donetsk city. #Russia claims a residential building was hit with three rockets fired.

However, #Ukraine almost always fires HIMARS after curfew.
#Russia says sanctions aren't affecting the country and the war is not harming the economy.

Well here at a the Al-Rahim Mosque in #Ufa a minaret just fell off.

They started building in 2007 then stopped the project last year due to lack of funds and compnents from the west.
#RussiaOnFIre

This time a chemical plant in #Moscow region.

The blaze at the Dolgoprudnensky site is thought to have started in a container, which looks like it contained oil.

At least one person's been injured.
Here's a captured 'soldier' from #Russia.
Remember, the Kremlin tells its domestic audience it is fighting AGAINST Nazism.

He is very likely a former convict recruited by the #Wagner group.

The 🔴⚪️bracelets usually indicate someone has Heaptitis and/or HIV/AIDS.
Two people were killed and 10 injured as #Russia attacked the centre of #Kramatorsk.

#Ukraine says cluster munitions were used - evidence the numerous marks on cars.

Many residential buildings and several cars were damaged. Three of the injured are fighting for their lives.

Tuesday 19 November 2024.
I can't quite believe we reached 1,000 days.
#Ukraine is still free, refusing to buckle to the imperialist #Russia

I'm incredibly proud to have documented every single moment, no days off, no holiday, no sickness.

Today is Day 999 of Europe's war

It's cold in the UK today. Imagine if you didn't have heat. Not just for one day, but maybe for most of the winter Now imagine it's 10 degrees colder

If you can do that you understand what people in #Ukraine feel, or fear.
Welcome to my daily🧵
Monday and Tuesday are days of mourning in #Sumy region after an horrific attack on an apartment block.

It was the last in a long line of murders of civilians by #Russia on Sunday.

I produced the longest thread for months (over 60 posts) - catch up here
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.

#Ukraine's FM takes a swipe at #Germany's Chancellor Scholz while declaring this one of the largest air attacks.

From #Chernihiv in the north, to #Odesa in the south.
#Kharkiv in the east to #Lviv in the west. #Russia hits them all.

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⬇️

100% for air defence overnight

Even though it was quieter than in recent days, and air raid warnings were much shorter, #Russia still fired 59 kamikaze drones at #Ukraine

21 were shot down, 38 stopped by EW.
It seems #Belarus wasn't attacked this time by its friendly neighbour Image
