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!
1/2 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.
2/2 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.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
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.
#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!
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.
#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
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.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
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 😉
#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. mod.gov.ua/news/2024/11/0…
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.
Spotted by @no_tweets_no
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.
#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
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.
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.
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 🫂

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.
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:
Missed something on Monday?
As always, here's the easy chance to catch up. Click the link for the start of yesterday's thread and work your way down from there.
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.
