Welcome to Day 394 of the war - exactly 13 months since #Russia began its illegal full invasion.

Here's the daily news thread for Friday.
Thursday was quiet and one of the shorter threads - catch up here:

1/2
Things are hotting up in #Russia - and not only with the end of winter.

There's been a definite uptick in #RussiaOnFire stories in the last two weeks and some interesting places are becoming victims of 'careless smokers'.

Today I have for you videos from near #Yekaterinburg
2/2

This is in #Aramil, in Sverdlovsk region.

The #RussiaOnFire building is the research and production complex. This plant actively works for #Russia's Defence sector.

#StopRussia
It's another 1,000-plus day for #Ukraine.

That's the number of #Russia's invaders they estimate to have been killed in the fighting in the last 24 hours.

APVs and Artillery Systems numbers are also above the mean.

#RussiansGoHome
Here's the daily update from London.

Everything according to plan for #Putin in the mission to take #Kyiv in 3-4 days!

I get the feeling discontent inside the Kremlin is growing. #Russia's leader is in danger of being cornered and needs a 'result' in #Ukraine.
#Ukraine's General Staff report #Russia's Occupiers have had to double the number of beds in its military hospitals in #Luhansk

That's despite all the currently wounded officers being flown out of the war zone by helicopter last week. Ukraine says there's a lack of medical staff
1/2
#Russia did attack #Ukraine overnight with some success, although the worst damage may have been avoided when, as I reported last night, two Kh-59 missiles aimed at #Odesa were shot down.

However #Sumy region and #KrivyiRih (RU: #KrivoyRog) were hit early today

#SaveUkraine
2/2

Missiles were also fired from aircraft in #Sumy region, with up to 10 thought to have hit. Officials say "losses are being specified."

In #KrivyiRih multiple attack drones crashed in to targets. Here's the moment one hit the city in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

#StopRussia
In #Donetsk smoke is rising in the #Kyivskyi district of the occupied city.

#RussiansGoHome
At least 3 civilians are feared dead in #Kostyantynivka (RU: #Konstaninovka) in free #Donetsk, after #Russia hit a "point of invincibility"

Such places across #Ukraine are supposed to be points of refuge during times of power cuts.
Many places and street names continue to be renamed in #Ukraine.

#Kyiv has agreed a whole host of changes including the famous, central Lva Toltoho Square and street.

#StopRussia
UPDATE from in #Kostyantynivka (RU: #Konstaninovka)

The death toll is now five. They were murdered by #Russia when it targeted the civilian safe-spot of the "Invincibility Point" in the town in #Donetsk this morning.

The bodies of 3 women and 2 men were removed from the rubble.
#Ukraine has handed back to #Russia all seriously wounded prisoners of war.

This is NOT a prisoner exchange.
Kyiv has unilaterally repatriated the seriously ill as per the Geneva Convention.

#StandWithUkraine
Nothing to see here... just a man of the church in #Russia kicking a female pensioner in #Moscow.

As a defacto branch of the FSB, anyway connected with the Moscow patriarch of the Orthdox Church seems to feel they are invincible from any crimes in #Putin's Russia.
#Estonia expels a diplomat from #Russia for spreading propaganda and causing divisions in Estonian society.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState

#BakhmutHolds

Indeed, I understand #Ukraine has completely unblocked the minor road O-0506 to the west of #Bakhmut. That's the route to #ChasivYar and crucial for keeping supply lines open.

One man's died, another is badly wounded by enemy shelling in #Kherson.

They were hit while on the river as #Russia shelled the embankment area. A 55 year old died with shrapnel wounds to his chest. A 77 year old has injuries to his chest + limbs.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
A policeman is among those killed in #Russia's overnight attack on #Sumy region.

The town of Bilopil' was bombarded with 80 grad rocket attacks and 20 by barrel artillery

37-year-old Lieutenant Vadym Listopad and a civilian died. 9 others were injured.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
This is wonderful to see.

Oleksandr Matsievskyi may have gone, but will never be forgotten. A hero of #Ukraine, he was gunned down by Russian soldiers for saying "#SlavaUkraini"

Now some talented guys have painted a mural of Oleksandr in #Rivne.
A British spy plane, accompanied by two RAF fighter jets, have been spotted in the Black Sea, a little south of #Crimea, in international waters.

#StandWithUkraine
At last, #France based @leroymerlinfr has finally announced it is selling all its stores in #Russia.

They had over a year of blood money and contributed significantly to the Terrorist State's war chest during this time.
🔞WARNING GRAPHIC VIDEO🔞

Incredible new video's just released from #Hostomel + #Bucha of the first hours after liberation almost a year ago.

Military Media Centre's footage shows the horrific devastation, even before the worst war crimes were known.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
What's that doing there?
#Switzerland isn't happy seeing its equipment on the frontline in #Donetsk!

nzz.ch/schweiz/panzer…
Bloomberg says #SouthAfrica is "unlikely" to arrest #Putin if he arrives for the BRICS conference.

That means the government breaking its pledge to fulfill the Rome charter it signed up to and defying the International Criminal Court order to detain the suspected war criminal.
1/2
#Ukraine has reacted angrily this evening to reports by the @UN earlier today which alleged executions of Prisoners of War, beatings and arbitary detention and mistreatment of civilians on BOTH sides in the war.

ukraine.un.org/en/224744-un-h…
2/2

#Ukraine's ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets points out that the UN has had 100% access to Prisoners of War while #Russia has not anyone visit a single war detainee.

Furthermore Mr Lubinets points out there is no proof in the reports, which are based solely on word of mouth.

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.

UkrainaOnline encapsulated 1000 days
If you like what I do, if you've never done it before, please consider buying me a coffee on this milestone day. It took a hell of a lot of work.

Thank you to my #TeamTim

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
