Welcome to Day 987 of #Russia's illegal invasion of #Ukraine.
06:50 in #Kyiv and people are waking, frankly terrified of what the future holds as election results are unveiled in the U.S.
All the news, all the time, though yesterday's thread had very low viewing figures...
Yesterday saw new reports of POWs being executed by #Russia, more evidence Moscow's economy is heading to a disaster, while more aid is arriving/arrives from #Ukraine's partners.
38 UAVs were shot down.
20 were stopped through EW.
2 are still flying, leaving 3 which likely hit targets, along with the missiles.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
More videos from #Kaspiysk in the southern #Dagestan region of #Russia.
Authorities say there was no damage.
The missiles fired at #Odesa were noted by monitors as being fired at 7.30pm yesterday, but it was thought both had been taken down by #Ukraine's air defence.
There was, and still is, no news of damage.
The body of a 7th person has been found in #Zaporizhzhia, following the rocket attack 24 hours ago.
The man was found in rubble at the site, which still has not been revealed.
7 dead and 25 wounded.
#StopRussia
#Makhachkala airport is closed.
It's the capital of #Dagestan. It's not known if the drone attack is continuing.
Videos were published by locals during rush hour of the large drone flying over the city
Trump has won.
He will also very likely win the popular vote, the first Republican to do so for 20 years.
I like Kamala, but I always said she was not the answer. The campaign was poor, the communications awful and Harris failed to state a case for the economy.
Here are the daily numbers detailing #Russia's losses.
There's actually very little interesting in the figures.
#RussiansGOHOME
Even after a sleep, the nightmare's true!
The only solace may be the axis of evil falling out. Trump previously threatened to bomb #Iran & put massive tariffs on #China.
But tRUmpy loves #Putin + #NorthKorea's dictators.
Donald to try to change the constitution for a 3rd term?
1/2 #Kapiysk UPD
#Ukraine intel admits its drones hit the town in #Dagestan. What's more, later videos prove the strike successfully hit a port on the Caspian Sea for the first time.
This is a huge feat for Ukraine, with its UAVs having travelled 1500km
#SlavaUkraïni
2/2
The military port of #Kaspiysk is home to #Russia's Navy in the region.
#Ukraine says it struck the missile ships "Tatarstan" and "Dagestan", also the small missile ships of project 21631 were allegedly damaged.
#StopRussia
The battle to protect borders in eastern Europe taken on extra urgency in recent months - not least because of fears over the US election and commitment to NATO.
European leaders have been reassuring #Ukraine in the wake of Trump's U.S. victory.
#UK PM Keir Starmer confirmed all parties continued to support Kyiv. #Sweden's PM Ulf Kristersson said "We are well prepared for this" + #France Pres Macron urged a coordinated European strategy
Two missiles have been fired by #Russia towards the #Chernihiv region of north #Ukraine.
#StopRussia
#Russia claims to have shot down a #Ukraine MiG-29 jet. It provides no location nor proof of the allegation.
Moscow also says it has total control of the villages of #Maksymivka + #Antonivka in #Donetsk region.
Deep State shows the 1st as partially occupied and the latter free
And so it begins
Republican @SenMarcoRubio tells NBC "it's time for the US to End the #Ukraine Crisis"
Rubio is Vice-Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee. He knows that selling Ukraine down the river will give #Russia a🟢light to attack again; #Moldova or maybe NATO next
#RussiaOnFire
In the Izmailovo district of #Moscow, a skyscraper is on fire.
The building, which used to house the Delta Research Institute, has been empty a while and supposedly in the process of being demolished.
#Kursk residents are finding out what #Russia's army is really all about
Over 100 cars have been stolen from residents.
Moscow tries to blame #Ukraine's invaders, but if locals in #Glushkovsky find their vehicles, even farming machinery, it's covered in naZi logos or camouflage
Wow, I lost 170 followers today.
Have I been "Musked" or are people deserting X itter en masse?
One person wrote to say they couldn't stand it on X anymore and have moved to a rival.
#Russia's online giant Yandex has started blurring satellite images of military airfields on its mapping service.
At least 10 military facilities are hidden, including at least four of which have been hit by #Ukraine at some point in the war.
#StopRussia
I have just seen another video from #Kaspiysk, where #Ukraine's drones hit the port and possibly two of #Russia's warships, catching many by surprise!
Apparently they will now be turning off the streetlights during the night in #Dagestan, as a result of this attack!
OK, I am considering trying to cross-post with a well known alternative to X itter 🔵 and Sky
I have already have an account with the same @ as here.
I will write here when I get chance to start, but I am not leaving X for the time being.
Drone alerts for #Ukraine.
8 mopeds crossed into the #Chernihiv region and are flying towards #Kyiv.
7 UAVs from #Sumy seem to be en route to #Poltava region.
#StopRussia
Something a little lighter from #Ukraine on a difficult day...
A monkey escaped from a zoo in #Odesa today, and decided he liked it more on top of his cage than in it.
A few people saying they're having trouble finding me on 🔵
I have just made a post, which hopefully makes me visible. Let me know via DM if you're still having problems.
Thursday 7 November 2024.
Day 988 of #Russia's war in Europe, and the continent's leaders meet today not knowing if the President of the biggest member of NATO is now a friend or foe.
These are still crucial times for #Ukraine and for all of us.
Welcome. Read my daily thread..
#Kyiv and #Odesa were the main targets overnight in #Russia's attack, with damage to both cities.
More on that in forthcoming posts, but first the link back to the start of yesterday's thread.
Not many views, but they missed some good stories!
Sunday 27 October 2024 - it's Day 977 of #Russia's full invasion. This is the original, the best thread covering the illegal war being waged on #Ukraine.
I've never missed a day, and it's all free, but if you can spare a coffee to support me, please click the link in my bio💙💛
Saturday was another one of those days when sadly, we saw many of the usual #Russia tactics...
Attack civilians, bomb anything they can reach, oh, and hire thugs to help intimidate and fix elections.
Read all about it - click the link to catch up:
The ruling Georgian Dream party has given itself over 54% after almost all votes have been counted.
The united anti-Russia opposition supposedly only managed 37%
However protests are likely after numerous violations on election day.
You've found the start of Sunday's thread dedicated to #Ukraine's fight for democracy, survival and some would say, protecting the west and its neighbours like #Moldova and #Georgia, as #Russia's imperialist ambitions move into overdrive.
Day 970, less than a month 'til 1,000😳
Here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread. I'm heartened to get a lot of messages saying how much they use this, so they can see all the stories of the day quickly and easily.
It was an explosive end to Saturday - explore here:
A lot to get through with the overnight attacks on both countries, but first #Russia losses.
1,340 more invaders killed/maimed.
So, October's now on course to be the bloodiest month ever for Putin's horde. The daily mean is 1,268 just below Sept's 1,272 but with an extra day.
Hello again, welcome to another daily thread covering all things #Ukraine and #Russia as the latter continues its attempt to destroy freedom, democracy and the U.N. charter.
All the news, all the time, fact checked and in one place.
Here's Tuesday thread:

Another #Ukraine port city has been hit tonight.
Ballistic missiles struck #Mykolaiv in the south of the country.
One person was killed + 11 injuries from #Russia's attack.
Two videos from the same apartment, one captured the moment of the hit, the other shows the damage.
Welcome to the weekend, and Day 934 of #Russia's illegal war.
I'm trying to overcome technical problems all this morning, hence the later start.
But I will not be stopped in bringing you the news from, and about, #Ukraine every single day, in one handy thread.
Here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread, for those catching up.
