It's Tuesday and also Day 412 of #Russia's illegal war, welcome to my daily🧵

So far today it's very quiet in terms of news. But there was quite a lot happening yesterday. If you missed anything, take a quick scroll through Monday's thread here.

The daily losses published by #Ukraine show that #Russia has now lost a total of 600 aircraft as I reported yesterday when another fighter helicopter was downed.

500 more troops met their end too, all for a few metres of muddy land and Putin's ego.

#RussiansGoHome Image
Here's the daily update from #London too, which again indicates how quiet things are... but one of my followers in particular will be furious with another use of the word "likely" instead of "probably"😅 Image
#Ukraine's Defence Min. is in #Odesa and during the morning briefing turned up the heat a little by announcing they can soon attack #Russia's Black Sea Fleet.

@oleksiireznikov said "We are just waiting for the right moment to repeat this history" a year after sinking the Moskva Image
Still angry scenes at #Kyiv's historic religious Lavra complex.

Moscow aligned priests have taken to conducting services outside inside the grounds but outside the church itself. More protesters came to give their views of the FSB influenced "church".

#StandWithUkraine
A drone has hit #Belgorod airport in #Russia.

Media report "an aircraft-type UAV with an unknown explosive device fell near the fence of Shukhov Airport and exploded."

All border airports are closed to civilian aircraft since the start of the war.

#StopRussia Image
Another top athlete from #Ukraine has been killed by #Russia.

International cyclist Kostyantyn Deneka served in one of the special units of Ukrainian Intelligence.

The 40 year old died on March 31 near Bakhmut as a result of a shrapnel wounds Image
Some amazing scenes coming out of #Kamchatka in the far, far east of #Russia where the Shiveluch volcano finally blew its top!

A 20km ash cloud, much of which descended on to nearby villages. @volcaholic1 has many more photos and vids:

Although #Russia claimed long ago mobilisation had ended, we know that's 💩
Indeed, plans before the Duma now to amend the law. Currently only papers served in person are legal call-ups. Soon emails and even text messages may be used to ensnare new fodder for the meat grinder.
#Russia has released video of the arrest of two men in the far east of the country. Both are accused of donating to #Ukraine's army.

One was picked up in #Khabarovsk, the other in #Sakhalin. Both are charged with treason. ImageImageImageImage
Easter - that most religious of times for Christians..
In #Russia a time for eggs, religious services and attacking churches in #Ukraine.

This is the Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos in #Kherson.
No-one was injured.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Now I'm confused... In October @Danone announced it was finally selling its business in #Russia and planning to stop contributing to Putin's war chest.

So why today do Russian media report "Danone wants to continue working in Russia and plans to rename "Activia" and "Aktimel"? Image
It's being reported on #Russia's propaganda networks that this is a big hit on #Ukraine army vehicles.

It's said to have happened in #Zaporizhzhia but cannot be verified and the time stamp on this is not accurate. That doesn't mean it's fake, just it cannot be verified.
#Danone update:

The press release I attached and very favourable media reports in October, said the exact opposite.

#BoycottDanone should start trending maybe?

One of the few NGOs with a link to the civilised world left in #Russia has been blacklisted.

#Moscow's Prosecutor General's Office named the #Germany based "Russia-EU Civil Society Forum" as "undesirable in the Russian Federation"

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Photos here from last night's attack by #Russia on the #Kherson region.

Aerial guided bombs were again used, along with rockets as local houses and "an industrial complex" were destroyed in #Beryslav. There were no injuries.

#StandWithUkraine ImageImageImageImage
A school near #Orikhiv.
The small town in #Zaporizhzhia oblast is near the frontline and the subject of frequent shelling these days.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
A lovely moment found on TikTok as #Ukraine's troops, completing training in the #UK, are given a magnficent send-off.

Proud🇬🇧💙💛🇺🇦
Thx Ali for spotting this.
#StandWithUkraine
#Russia is having to send passenger airliners to #Iran for repairs.

Sanctions have left the Terrorist State so short of components, it's known an Airbus has made the journey to Iran.

@Airbus itself threatened to blacklist any company helping supply parts
themoscowtimes.com/2023/04/10/ami…
#Ukraine's forces report another successful counterattack in #Bakhmut.

It's claimed (unverified) that an artillery strike hit "a concentration of #Wagner troops on Korsunskyi Street."

#BakhmutHolds Image
This moved quickly and has already been approved.

Among other restrictions, confirmation after a summons is sent, a person may not leave the country, and is banned from driving if they do not visit an enlistment office within 20 days.

#Russia claim two civilians were killed by shelling in the Occupied part of #Kherson.

They've published a video of a "Calendar Man" in #Oleshky holding a few scraps of metal and saying how there's been a crime, but strangely, no proof or even shots of the scene.
Meanwhile, in #Donetsk at least we have decent shots of an alleged attack.

Here #Russia says two men have been injured after shelling damaged minibus #63 in the Kuibyshev region of the occupied city. One of those injured was the driver. ImageImageImageImage
Yet more damage today in #Kostyantynivka (RU: #Konstantinovka).

Here are new photos of damage to the #Ukraine held town in #Donetsk region, which #Russia is now pounding every day.

#RussiaIsATerroristStat ImageImageImageImage
#Ukraine's (former) richest man is suing #Russia.

Rinat Akhmetov has filed a lawsuit in international arbitration demanding compensation for all losses caused to him when #Donetsk and #Luhansk "governments" seized his assets, including the Donbas Arena, home of @FCShakhtar
E.N., Thank you for the words as well as the donation.

Sir, you make an important point about the pschological damage as well as the physical.
We must continue to help end this madness.
#StandWithUkraine

Occupiers in #Kherson show the damage after rockets hit a school in the riverside area of #Kardashynka, south of #Kherson.

Although it is under Occupation, some #Ukraine channels blame #Russia, though it's impossible to be sure either way.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
It's loud this evening in #Donetsk.

This was heard a short while ago in the Kuibyshevskyi district of the occupied city.

#StopRussia
#Hungary has agreed a new energy deal with #Russia.

In #Moscow today, Hungarian foreign minister, Péter Szijjártó gave details of the agreement, which will anger EU partners.

#Ukraine is likely to receive some cash as some fuel will pass through the pipeline there.
US Intel Leak:
I'm glad the MoD agrees with what I've been saying.

There's so much speculation and reporting "as fact" stuff which we don't know if it's true or not.

This has to go down as propaganda right now as it cannot be proven, but thought you may like to see this video published by #Ukraine's border service.

They say 6 guards from #Luhansk detachment held at bay #Russia's superior forces for 3 hours in #Bakhmut to avoid encirclement.
More explosions reported in #Kherson region.
#Russia's planes have been flying in the area and #Beryslav has been hit again though I don't know yet if it's rockets or aerial bombs again.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
In Easter week some risky artwork appeared in #Russia's second city St Petersburg.

Kremlin security forces guarding Christ, presumably having nailed him to the cross.

Within a couple of hours it had been painted over with grey paint by panicked officials. ImageImage
"The Vulkan Files" - a multi partner investigation reveals the massive threat being developed, and posed by, #Russia's hackers.

Society could be paralysed in a worst case scenario.

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
