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!

There was a discussion on here yesterday about loss of followers. Probably some bots, but there has been a mini exodus from X-itter. I'm now down 250.

To repeat, I am on🔵 - Sky
People had trouble finding me, though it is the same @ name. If you cannot find me, drop me a DM.
Still #Russia throws bodies at #Ukraine on the front line, quite literally. Another 1,400 sacrificed for Putin's imperialistic dream.

Some other categories ticking up a little too. 10 x tanks, 8x special equipment and 78 vehicles, though these are mostly small motorised bikes. Image
One man was injured in #Odesa.

Luckily, the 30 year old was the only victim when an 11-storey building and numerous cars and a gas pipeline were damaged.

#Russia's attack drones swarmed the southern city, with falling debris a regular problem. Image

The #UK has sanctioned 56 more people and entities helping #Russia's military machine.

28 companies are targeted including the Russian mercenary group "Africa Corps".

Now to #Kyiv, where there was even more damage than in #Odesa.

The air alert lasted all night (more than 8 hours)
Six districts of the city were affected by falling debris or drone strikes.

UAVs flew low over #Ukraine's capital today and one block suffered a direct hit.

In #Kyiv, only two injuries are reported after the night attack. Some people had become a little blasé about the sirens, but with #Russia's improved models and density of attacks, no-one takes a chance any more and heads to shelters.

Much later than usual, #Ukraine's air force released details of the overnight attack and it was a big one!

106 killer drones were fired by #Russia.

74 were shot down and 25 stopped with EW.
No news of any returning to Russia nor #Belarus, so 7 hit Ukrainian territory. Image
#Russia's drone attack also caused problems in two more of #Ukraine's oblasts.

Emergency power outages were applied in #Zhytomyr and #Rivne regions.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A reminder that the EU summit is underway in #Budapest.

A picture can say a thousand words. The "Orb" trying to push #Ukraine into a corner?

Some rumours that the Budapest Barrel may get Trump to speak via video-link at the session. That would not be appreciated by most! Image
Oh how sad..

A homophobe from #Russia is said to have insulted Ladyboys in #Thailand.

They had the last laugh. The guy is now relying on Thai doctors and nurses as he lies in hospital.
An employee at a gas (petrol) station has been killed in #Sumy region.

#Russia's drones hit a high rise building as well as the service station. Railway infrastructure was also damaged and a woman aged 53, a worker for rail company Ukrzaliznytsia, was also injured.

#StopRussia
Remarkable details reported by @ASTRA_PRESS
on how ineffective and costly their frontline is in the war with #Ukraine.

The first graphic is a translation of the report, showing a #Russia Z blogger admitting infantry last under a month because they throw in untrained soldiers. Image

#Zaporizhzhia has been hit by more aerial bombs.

Another hospital and more residential buildings were struck.

There are wounded, but numbers have not been given.
#RussiaIsATerroristState Image

Videos now coming in from #Zaporizhzhia.

Five workers in the hospital are among the injured.

A reminder, the west can stop, or massively reduce these aerial/glide bomb attacks, but can't be bothered to do so.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Zaporizhzhia

Hospital hit by #Russia as well as another apartment block.

Five hospital workers known to be injured.

Deliberate or accidental?

Did President of #Romania, Klaus Iohannis, deliberately deliver a sly snub to #Hungary's PM?
Viktor Orbán was left waiting for a while - I mean come on, he's difficult to miss!
#Ukraine's people don't lose their sense of humour.

During #Russia's drone attack last night, someone ordered a taxi to travel 2km to tackle a "Shakhed" 😂

It's not known if the cab completed its mission 😉 Image
Image
#Zaporizhzhia UPD

Four people are known to have died in #Russia's latest attack on civilians.

Some locals say their relatives are still missing and thought to be trapped under rubble. In the last half hour two people were rescued.

@JoeBiden you're still President. Act NOW!
#Ukraine has urged NATO partners to create a "Humanitarian Shield" along its western border. @rustem_umerov was speaking at the SE Europe Def Ministers' conference.

🇺🇦Dep DM Serhiy Boev pleaded with members to speed up transfer of their old Soviet stock.

Some good people in #Russia

Military are angry that they lost a lot of equipment (Starlinks, radios etc) when a warehouse caught fire. They are certain it was arson as "there was not even wiring" in the building.
OMG 🤦‍♂️
Stop broadcasting live (unchallenged) the words of a terrorist, wanted war-criminal.

Both UK's main news channels again pander to Putin, show his Valdai speech live.

So in 1942 you'd have shown Hitler live, yes?

Putin lies all the time. Broadcast only factchecked clips
#Sweden has judged its safety could be at risk if it went ahead with off shore windfarms.

14 were planned, but security experts fear it will hinder spotting submarines and hamper radar in the Baltic Sea, just 300 miles from #Kaliningrad.

A whole host of prominent Russiandeaths reported today:

1) Ochur-Suge Mongush - the sadist who castrated a #Ukraine POW

2) Aleksei Milchakov - self-avowed Nazi "I like cutting ears off"

3) Pavel Klimenko - just the 7th Major General to be killed during #Russia's invasion. Image

#RussiaIsCollapsing

Shares are falling astronomically in some of #Russia's well established companies.

The price kept on falling after this post. Samolet is now worth only 1/4 of its value at the start of the year.

Already ten of #Russia's attack drones are in #Ukraine.

Some are heading towards #Kyiv from #Chernihiv oblast.
Hits in #Odesa.

A school in the Slobidka district and residential buildings have been hit.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

Here is the new school in #Odesa targeted by #Russia tonight.

Multiple missiles and then attack drones were fired by the Terrorist State.

#StopRussia Image
A 66 year old joint US, Israeli and Russian national, has admitted illegally transferring hundreds of thousands of semi-conductors to #Russia's military enterprises.

Ilya Kahn faces up to 20 years in prison.

Just one coffee came today, from @PatrickCodring2

But I must also mention the monthly subscription from @NekhayShchastyt, although they appear to be one of those who has exited Muskovy's platform.
Hope he found me on...
Only two injuries reported by officials in #Odesa. The school damaged was a famous 125 year old lyceum, although it had been recently refurbished.

Expect updates in the morning. Image

Aerial bomb launched towards #Vovchansk in north #Kharkiv region.
And finally for today's thread, still 5 drones flying over #Ukraine. Others may yet follow.

But that's all for today.
I've been told my posts here are very hidden today and my page on 🟦s ky is also tough to pin down 🤷‍♂️

C'est la vie. Sleep well everyone 🫂

We are getting close to the big "K"
Almost 1,000 days of #Russia invading, torturing, murdering, kidnapping children.

#Ukraine needs us like never before.
Remember the civilians and keep 🇺🇦in the news.

It's Day 989 of the war in Europe, here's Friday's daily thread.
Today's thread has all the signs of being very interesting, but each day this week my profile's being hidden, with first post views <15k yesterday.

On Thursday, we had Ladyboys getting revenge on a Russian, 3 of the worst invaders dying + more. See here
#Ukraine's Intel says it struck an oil refinery in #Russia overnight.

Officials in #Saratov deny there was any damage, but this is much more than the usual flare at such sites.

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.

Click and scroll if you missed anything⬇️
#Russia says it shot down 3 drones fired by #Ukraine.

Two in #Kursk and one in #Oryol.

And that's fairly typical of the overnight activity, or lack of it.

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:

First an update on the election in #Georgia.

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. Image

Hello again, it's Friday, it's Day 975 of #Russia's unforgiveable war on #Ukfraine.

All the news, all the time, every single day in one handy place, welcome to the daily thread.

Please buy me a coffee if you want to support specialist independent journalism (link in bio)💙💛
Here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread, which also has the results of the UN poll.

A resounding victory to kick Russia out of the UNSC, having arbitrarily inherited a seat from the USSR.
Very few happy with how things are now.

Another extraordinary number of deaths (and serious injuries) suffered by #Russia in 24 hours, with the figure again over 1600.

22 pieces of special equipment high too.

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. Image
