Day 419 of the war in Europe.
#Russia's illegal war & full invasion of #Ukraine.
The day Bunker Boy emerged from his Kremlin bunker!

Yesterday was very interesting with Wagner troops confessing war crimes, more Russian fires, collaborators + more, here⬇️

The scale of the war is difficult to comprehend for those living far away. But @SkyNews brings it to life with this report.

15% (381) of all education establishments in #Ukraine have been damaged or destroyed by #Russia in the first year.

#Russia's President Putin (or at least a lookalike) has appeared in #Ukraine's Occupied Territories.

He is said to have flown into #Kherson region to visit the "Dnepr" Command of troops and then taken a helicopter to the "East" Command in #Luhansk.

#RussiansGoHome
Britain's update concentrates on #Bakhmut', which still holds, but the MoD in London says #Russia is making "creeping advances"

#StandWithUkraine Image
Much lower figures today as #Ukraine publishes the daily losses suffered by #Russia in the last 24 hours of the war. Still another 470 Russian families will be grieving at some point in the future when they realise their relative won't be coming home.

#StopRussia Image
Yesterday I reported on the Governor of #Bryansk in #Russia describing how they'd foiled a border crossing by #Ukraine, implying soldiers tried to attack

Turns out it was a man on a bike! Unfortunately he died when hitting a mine.

#StopRussia
#Kherson has come under "massive fire" this morning.

At least six people are injured while some locals say there are dead, but that's not confirmed.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
First video from #Kherson where at least six are wounded in heavy shelling.

Most badly hit seems to be the market in the centre.
Here someone films as they try to flee one strike which shattered glass, but explosions continue as they move away.
#SaveUkraine
#Egypt has reportedly agreed to supply Ukraine with 152mm and 155mm shells.

A blow to #Russia, but it's likely Egypt is carefully playing both sides.
A drone appears to have fallen in occupied #Donetsk this morning.

This video's been published showing the UAV near school number 57 in the Kyivskyi district of the city.

#DonetskIsUkraine
Pictures emerge from heavy attacks by #Russia on #Sloviansk (RU: #Slavyansk) in the early hours of this morning.

Attack drones & rockets damaged 5 high-rise buildings, 7 houses, a security facility, a medical facility plus entertainment and business centres.
No casualties. ImageImageImageImage
Three civilians have been killed by #Russia's airstrikes in #Luhansk.

This house in the village of Novoiehorivka was hit. This is about 20km SW of #Svatove, close to the state border with #Kharkiv oblast. Image
Despite rains easing, more water from upstream means large areas of #Kyiv region are now under water.

Flooding has caused widespread damage in 3 regions of #Ukraine in the past week.

#StandWithUkraine Image
#Kherson update.

The death of one person has been confirmed after the shelling of the city centre market in Kherson.

The local governor says 7 others were injured.
#RussiaIsATerroristState ImageImageImage
President #Zelenskyy visited the front line in #Avdiivka.

The visit came hours after news of Putin's supposed visit to occupied regions, which many think was recorded at the weekend.

Avdiivka is a real hot-spot, being the closest #Ukraine held area to Donetsk and Horlivka. Image
Another investigation after a new video emerged of a Commander in #Ukraine's army hitting a subordinate.

This was filmed on 26 March in #IvanoFrankivsk
Absolutely zero surprise that #Russia rejected the appeal of @WSJ journalist @evangershkovich at a sham court hearing in #Moscow.

#Ukraine has urged the President of #Brazil to come and see for himself the truth.

"Lula" recently criticised the U.S. and the EU for seeking war not peace and alleged the war was because of "decisions made by two countries."

Peace is easy - #RussiansGoHome, problem solved Lula
More leaflets being distributed in occupied #Enerhodar, urging people to evacuate their children to Crimea.

The evacuation itself is scheduled for May 5-7 according to #Russia's invaders.

Fears of the counter-attack? Stealing more children? Or both?

#StopRussia Image
Local officials in #Irkutsk denied there was a cemetery for those killed in the war, but local journalists have found the secret burial sites.

Some relatives had been searching for their dead loved ones and only now can they grieve.

#Poland, perhaps under pressure from the #EU has agreed to end the ban on imported grain from #Ukraine.

Warsaw has agreed to end the embargo in just over 3 days, on Thursday night.

#StandWithUkraine
#Russia is banned from Basketball at the Paris Olympics.

@FIBA has stuck to its guns and continued to refuse to allow the Russians to participate because of the country's illegal war. So Russia will miss the qualifiers and cannot go to next years #Olympics.

#StandWithUkraine
Well done 'Fellas'

Less than a week ago I reported this.
Now Pernod Ricard has accounced, because of the threat of a boycott, it is withdrawing Absolut Vodka from the Russian market.

#Ukraine claims it has shot down all 7 drones fired by #Russia in #Zaporizhzhia oblast tonight.

6 #Iran made kamikaze "Shahed" UAVs were hit by Ukrainian air defence.

#StopRussia
It's reported tonight that at least one Patriot air defence system is already in #Ukraine

#Germany has officially handed over the US made system along with the missiles.

With a range of 160km, this equipment can go a long way to ending #Russia's air superiority.
#SaveUkraine
⚡️Breaking⚡️
A drone hits an Enlistment Office in the #Bryansk oblast of #Russia.

Regional governor Aleksandr Bogomaz immediately said a #Ukraine UAV attacked the Military Commissariat of #Novozybkiv. Windows were broken but no injuries.

Are they sure it's not angry Russians?

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
