#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.
#StopRussia
However, in the early hours of this morning #Ukraine suffered some of the most widespread damage for months - this is #Kharkiv.
#Russia's emboldened not only by Trump's election, but knowing that Biden was effectively protecting them by refusing to give🇺🇦 the necessary weapons.
2/4 #Kharkiv
25 people are known to be injured at this time.
President Zelenskyy posted this video writing "It is crucial to respond collectively and decisively at the international level to reduce and block the potential for terror."
#RussiaIsATerroristState
3/4 #Kharkiv
Two more videos from #Ukraine's second city, showing the unbeatable spirit in the face of #Russia's terror regime
The 1st video shows the first moments rescuers arrived.
The 2nd from the last hour in Freedom Square where the National Anthem is heard.
#SlavaUkraina
4/4 #Kharkiv
Two areas of the city suffered most from the aerial bombs.
The video shows the aftermath in the Shevchenkivskyi district.
Here 6 apartment blocks, 8 admin buildings and metro exits were damaged
The 12-storey block shown earlier in🧵 is in the Saltivskyi district.
More damage to report in #Ukraine, but here is the size of #Russia's attack.
1 ballistic missile was not stopped, but 4 Kh-59/69 rockets were intercepted.
🇺🇦Air Defence also shot down 62 of 92 attack drones.
26 were stopped by EW and one was still flying, leaving 3 which hit.
Numbers well up today in #Ukraine's document showing #Russia's losses.
1,580 illegal invaders killed or disabled, and a rise in hardware damage too with 49 APC/APVs, 84 vehicles and six 'special equipment'
#RussiansGOHOME
In #Kyiv region, four people were injured during the drone attack, caught in a car when debris fell. One is fighting for their life.
Officials say a non-working gas station was hit and caught fire. Other houses and cars were also damaged.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
At the end of yesterday's thread, news had already come in from #Odesa of the latest big attack there.
It's now emerged a man aged 46 was killed by shrapnel while driving during the raid.
9 others needed medical treatment, the oldest being 91. Six are in hospital.
#StopRussia
Yesterday I was reporting on the horror in #Zaporizhzhia.
The death toll there has now risen to 9, including a one year old baby. Today is a day of mourning.
15 others were wounded; a boy aged 5 is fighting for his life. Five more are described as "seriously ill."
#StopRussia
More fairytales from #Russia?
In #Kursk, authorities say they stopped another attempt by #Ukraine to "break through the border near the village of #NovyPut"
They also claim to have shot down a missile over Kursk this morning.
In the far east of #Russia (1,600km/1000 miles east of #Tokyo), the Shiveluch volcano has been rumbling and erupting.
A cloud of volcanic ash covers #UstKamchatsk in #Kamchatka region and a "high alert regime was introduced."
Another body is found under the rubble in #Zaporizhzhia
Thus, yesterday's attack killed 10, with 41 more injured.
Emergency services have now concluded work at the site. They released this long, traumatic video, but essential viewing to show what #Russia is doing day after day
Two of their own invaders have been found guilty by #Russia of the cold blooded murder of 9 family and friends in occupied #Ukraine
21-year-old Anton Sopov (left) and Stanislav Rau, 28, were jailed for life. They deny the massacre and plan to appeal.
If you're thinking it's unusual & wondering why #Russia suddenly prosecuted its own..
Their superiors threatened locals + tried to cover it up. But outrage among the town was such the Terrorists decided they needed to placate them + arrested the culprits
Another massive loss of followers. Around 1300 in total now.
I suspect Xitter is now unfollowing accounts for people again.
Please check you're still following your favourites and remind others to check too. Thanks 💙💛
Axios reports Elon Musk was present during the phone conversation between #Zelenskyy + Trump, which lasted 25 minutes according to their sources.
By now #Ukraine's President should be used to leaks from the U.S.
Donald ain't smart, it's those who surround Trump who worry me.
#Sumy has been battered again.
A ballistic missile has hit a critical infrastructure in the city within the last hour.
Earlier this destruction was caused by aerial bombs being dropped on #Krasnopillia, just 10km from the border with #Russia.
I wrote earlier about the return of #Ukraine's fallen soldiers.
Today there have been many other humanitarian actions as detailed in this🧵 by 🇺🇦Ombudsman, inc release of a woman aged 91, exchanging POW lists + allowing letters to be sent to relatives.
A shock football result in #Ukraine.
SK Poltava, in only its 3rd year playing in the league, has a chance of reaching the top division, Ukraine's Premier League.
But last weekend the team bus was intercepted by army recruiters and players given summonses nta.ua/na-poltavshhyn…
Somewhere in #Ukraine, although it's impossible to verify...
Helicopters shoot down a drone.
Ballistic missile(s) detected flying towards #Mykolaiv in the south of #Ukraine.
Power disappeared in a town in #Moscow region.
#Zvenigorod is 60km west of Red Square. It's reported there's been "an accident at a substation."
"
This sort of misery, and worse, is inflicted on people in #Ukraine every day.
A family in #Odesa, in shock, after a #Russia strike right next to their now ruined home.
We can #StopRussia. So why don't me?
#LetUkraineStrikeBack
Biden shifts a little towards helping #Ukraine, by allowing Americans to service and repair F-16s and Parriot air defence systems. Previously this was banned.
Now, how about you #LetUkraineStrikeBack
#Russia's drones already chugging across #Ukraine.
5 have entered across the border in #Sumy. Two look to be heading to #Kyiv, the others move into #Poltava region.
#Sweden's police has decided against donating its decommissioned guns to #Ukraine.
Ah, the @guardian has picked up on what I've been saying for a while.
My information is that Biden told Starmer he would allow the UK to give #Ukraine permission to hit targets deep inside #Russia, but the US would distance itself. Sir Keir got scared?
#Russia is attacking #Odesa with its' drones, yet again.
Four killer UAVs heading to #Chornomorsk the port just outside Odesa itself.
#StopRussia
7 drones circling over #Odesa city and other ports/towns nearby.
Air defence working furiously.
#Odesa
One again the war criminals hit a housing complex.
Anyone responsible for this in #Russia, anyone who supports them, anyone who does not back #Ukraine 100%, you are scum. You allow this to happen.
#RussiaIsAt
#Odesa UPD
Another view of the fire raging at the scene of the strike by #Russia tonight.
Also CCTV of the moment the blast blew open doors in an apartment building, and videos from residents inside.
#RussiaIsA
#Odesa UPD
Terrifying. Watch the first video - easy to imagine being there.
#Russia targets civilians. It enjoys killing people.
The second video shows two apartment blocks damaged. Still awaiting news of casualties.
Explosions reported in #Vinnytsia region tonight too.
No further details, but hopefully air defence this time.
#StopRussia
More photos from #Odesa as emergency workers try to extinguish the cars which were on fire at the site of the strike, a heavily residential area.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
The President Elect has declared the war "will end soon"
What? You didn't think you were voting for tRUmp did you America?
You got an unelected control freak who tells Donny what to do.
On Sunday, the next edition of "60 minutes" looks interesting.
I hope they do document ALL the suspicious deaths, quite a few in the UK, not just the high profile attacks in #Germany, #Spain (the defecting pilot) and the Skripal poisoning.
It's perfectly normal for cows' heads + bones to be laid out in a circle in a cemetery, no?
This was filmed in the centere of #Aksai in #Russia.
The man taking the video says a strangled dog and cat were lying nearby, but they were not captured on film.
Saturday in #Odesa started with glass and shattered lives.
Just another weekend living with #Russia's violence.
Five apartment blocks suffered damage.
We still have not been told of any injuries.
Aerial bomb hits #Kharkiv.
This was recorded across the other side of the city - explosion is just audible.
The bomb has landed on a road between 2 districts of the city. Damage to infrastructure is reported, but no news of casualties.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
I now have over 100 followers on the other site 🔵S ky
A few more trusty supporters have written to say farewell from here😢
Speaking of supporters, thank you @la56316893 for being the only KoFi donor today, though monthly subs arrived from @LolonisT + @bradleyvchi
💙💛🫂
Seems to be loud in #Bryansk this morning.
#Russia says 15 drones have been shot down.
Naturally, "no casualties or damage" says the governor (who wants to avoid tea with Putler).
May be interesting to see what's revealed in the morning.
And with that my (diminishing number of) readers and friends, I wish you all a good and peaceful night.
Please keep #Ukraine in your thoughts and the minds of others.

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!
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.
