Remembrance Sunday. For all those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the rest of us.

We are not talking only of history. Let's remember the families currently grieving for those killed by #Russia's neo-imperialist and fascist regime.

Day 991. Here's the daily Ukraine🧵
Coming up all the news in one place, updated throughout the day.

If you missed any #Ukraine news yesterday, it was another massive thread. Catch up easily by clicking the link for the start of the thread, then scroll from there

Well that was a busy night. It's taken a while to verify all the info.

For those with me last night, I predicted it could be the heaviest drone attack ever by #Russia. It was!

Fired: 145
Shot down: 62
Stopped by EW: 67
Flew to #Moldova/#Belarus/Russia: 10
Exploded in🇺🇦: 6 Image
1/2
But let's begin a round up of overnight damage done in #Moscow where drones swarmed #Russia's capital, at first explosions were reported near Domodedovo airport

On this video you can see a secondary explosion - something flies off at 9 seconds.
Soon a warehouse was ablaze.
2/2
Obviously #Russia says no damage and no injuries... but then in the well populated town of #Ramenskoe in #Moscow region, fires couldn't be hidden and authorities admitted one injury.

This looks like the result of a drone being shot down. Russia says 32 were downed in Moscow

Meanwhile there was a coordinated attack on #Bryansk, which may have hit #Russia's 1060th logistics military unit.

The local Governor claim 14 drones were shot down, but no mention of the cause of the pretty orange glow at dawn!

Later, #Ukraine Intel confirmed the strikes.
Image
Image
Image
#Russia continues to suffer astonishing losses.
Over 3,000 more Russian lives ruined in 2 days.

In the last week 9,800 invaders have been killed or seriously wounded

Equipment losses mount too, but the 122 vehicles are largely mopeds. Even that Major-Gen died while riding one! Image
It may be awful to watch, but I make no apologies for reposting this, which needs to reach a maximum audience.

#RussiaIsATerroristState which breaks all laws, Geneva Conventions, moral codes, agreements. It always will unless confronted and defeated.

#Odesa was again heavily attacked by #Russia during the night. I reported and showed many clips last night, but some more videos released since then.
1 - the work of emergency crews
2 - the terror moments after an attack drone hit homes.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
2/2
Two people were injured in the newest attack on #Odesa.

One apartment block, 10 trading kiosks, 2 shops and various vehicles, garages etc. were damaged.

Notice how it's not even the ports (even they are civilian and not legitimate targets), #Russia targets the people. Image
Image
Image
Image
#France has pledged to give #Ukraine more Scalp missiles to strike "behind the front line" but its Defence Minister doesn't say if they are allowed to hit deep into #Russia

Also Mistral missiles on their way.

Unconfirmed reports of #Ukraine also hitting #Russia's forces in occupied #Mariupol during the night.

🇺🇦adviser to the city, Petro Andryushchenko says the invaders' lost one air defence system. At least 4 explosions were heard near the airport.

#RussiansGOHOME Image
#Russia is closing in on the significant town of #Kupiansk.

Forced evacuations have been continuing in this area of #Kharkiv region. Now all ATMs are switched off as no-one can refill them, and the last post office has been closed.
#StopRussia Image
Image
It seems #Russia's "overnight" drone attack continues into the afternoons these days.

Two more killer UAVs have been spotted heading to #Dnipropetrovsk.
In #Moldova, they reportedly discovered "an unknown drone"

It's being investigated by experts after being found in the village of #Firladeni.

As I reported last night (and earlier today), #Russia's drones veered into neighbouring countries. Image
Image
Two children are among four injured in the #Chuhuiv area of #Kharkiv early this morning.

The local council says 3 hits were recorded on this 4-storey apartment block.

The youngsters are a boy aged 10 and a 17-year-old girl. Injuries are not thought to be serious. Image
Image
Image
Image
As well as #NorthKorea's cannon fodder, ATESH claim #Russia is training more foreigners

#Ukraine's resistance group in #Crimea says they found mercenaries from #Africa + #Cuba being put through their paces at Kozachiy training ground in #Sevastopol, but there's no direct proof.
Drone debris caused relatively minor damage in #Kyiv region.

A private house burned. An outbuilding, utility room, and fence were also damaged - exact location has not been revealed. Image
Image
I could post damage every day from #Nikopol and satellite villages in the south of #Dnipropetrovsk region. It's just 8-9km across the water from #Russia's positions and gets blasted with artillery and FPV drones incessantly.

Now the invaders pick off cars and gas stations. Image

I found a solution for @BrendaWeese + others who wrote they were considering leaving the U.S.

A 4-year cruise to "escape politics" visiting 140 countries for $5,333 a month.

Some acquaintances in #California pay $3500 for a studio flat even without food, power, taxes + booze. Image
Image
Angry scenes in #Kursk where residents of #Sudzha, occupied by #Ukraine have confronted local officials.

The crowd have all lost their homes, and blame the govt and generals. One official came out to try to placate the people and even used the banned word "war"
#Bryansk update

It looks certain now that #Ukraine managed to hit ammunition and anti-aircraft missiles (also used to fire at Ukrainian cities). In addition another of #Russia's missile defence systems may have been hit.

#SlavaUkraïni Image

It was a busy night for air defence.... in #Belarus, which suffered a surprise attack by #Russia.

The Gayun monitoring service says "at least 10" UAVs flew into Belarus, some of which later turned back towards #Ukraine.

One adventurous moped went from 🇷🇺➡️🇺🇦➡️🇧🇾➡️🇺🇦➡️🇧🇾➡️🇷🇺 Image
Image
In #Russia's border town of #Shebekino, a civilian's been injured when a drone hit a tower block.

The man was injured and trapped by falling masonry on the 3rd floor. Image
Image
#Russia says it has taken complete control of #Petropavlivka in #Kharkiv region.

In the last update from DeepState the village was not under imminent threat, but it's looking now as though #Ukraine's forces have pulled back to the river to defend #Kupiansk just 5-6km away. Image
Scum.

Probably 25,000 murdered by #Russia in #Mariupol'

#DonetskIsUkraine #RussiansGOHOME

More scum.

This thick daddy's boy, chooses veterans' weekend to post this filth. Image
Oh, this is terrible... a passenger jet nearly crashed because of #Ukraine's drone attack.

Oh wait... #Russia started a war and keeps 97% of its airports open in a warzone. Idiotki Image
Image
The protests against the stolen election in #Georgia are now daily.

Today two separate marches in #Tbilisi by opposition parties united into one procession and are blocking Heroes' Square.

#StopRussia
Terrorist partner #Iran helped out #Russia today.

The big Il-76TD cargo plane, owned by sanctioned "Pouya Air" landed at #Moscow's Vnukovo airport this afternoon.

More drones, and maybe even some butter on board no doubt. Image
The death has been announced of another British soldier.

22 year old Callum Tindal-Draper, from Cornwall, was killed earlier in the week, defending #Ukraine.

news.sky.com/story/tributes…
#Moldova admits its airspace was breached by #Russia.

Of course #Moldova is not a NATO country, but the decoy drones were still not shot down.

President-elect Trump has supposedly already spoken with Putin and told him "not to escalate the situation in #Ukraine."

Sounds very much like a "positive leak" from camp Trump, so whether you believe Trump said that is up to you.

#Zaporizhzhia is under attack... first from aerial bombs and now drones.

Two explosions were heard, thought to be just outside the city. No further details yet.

#StopRussia
There are 8 attack drones in #Ukraine so far, including the one heading to #Zaporizhzhia.
Time for thank yous to my supporters, here and in the other place as @JustmeAnybody noted in the comment😏
Also one anon coffee from "MP" & generous monthly sponsorship from @MessFixing

Thanks for not giving up on #Ukraine or me.
991 Days and counting!

The #USA "will spend every dollar it has" on #Ukraine before Biden leaves office.

White House spokesman John Kirby also hinted at more aid soon "There has not been a single Ramstein meeting where there were no additional commitments. I think this can be expected again." Image
A flash was seen and blasts heard in #Dnipro a little earlier this evening.

Unsure whether it was an arrival or take down of a rocket. No damage reported so far.
In countries nearest to #Russia, pledging more support for #Ukraine is often a vote winner - they know what's at stake.

In #Norway, the right of centre party pledges to treble (military) aid for #Kyiv, NRK reports. They say it's important for Norway's security 🇷🇺 doesn't win. Image
Lost another 100 followers today. I think about 2,300 since the election.

On the up side, I already have more than 300 followers on 🔵 Sky.
I will continue here but cross-posting the entire thread at the end of each day and other highlights when I get chance.
Multiple attack drones are approaching #Mykolaiv (RU: #Nikolaev) in southern #Ukraine.

It looks like a co-ordinated attack with the mopeds converging from different directions.
#StopRussia
Explosions in #Mykolaiv region.
No more details yet.

Damage caused by the earlier attack on #Zaporizhzhia.

Local officials have still not released details yet.

#Kharkiv is next to be targeted. Aerial/glide bombs fired from #Russia|n aircraft a few moments ago.

#LetUkraineStrikeBack
#Kyiv and #Khmelnytskyi regions are now under threat from drone attack. Air raid warnings are in effect for both.

Emergency services are in attendance.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
The air-raid all-clear has now been given in #Mykolaiv

#Mykolaiv UPD

At least one person injured in the drone attack.
Residential buildings have been hit.

#StopRussia #LetUkraineStrikeBack
#Russia launches a load more drones through #Sumy region.

#Kyiv remains under attack, but air defence works.
In #Kherson the threat's been lifted.

I'll close the thread now - yep, even I need sleep!
If there are major developments I'll be back. In any case a new🧵soon.

Good morning and I hope you are all well.

Yes, I'm back again for another daily thread, with all the important news from Ukraine and Russia in one handy thread, every single day.

DMs open for your tip-offs; please help to keep Ukraine in the news, share, re-post, reply etc.
So, Day 1303 gets underway, but first the link back to 1302 and Wednesday's news feed.

A lot of stuff covered, but forgive me for my favourite moment being the British King lecturing a wannabe king about support for Ukraine.

Only a 65% success rate for Ukraine's air defence last night.

75 drones were launched by Russia, initially at eastern areas, then attacking Kyiv later in the night.
One UAV is still flying, of the others, Ukraine brought down 48.

Hits occurred in 6 places according to Ukraine. Image

Wednesday. Day 1302 of the illegal war started by Russia.

For all the fact-checked news about Ukraine, analysis not sugar-coated, and honest appraisals of the situation, trust an expert who isn't here for clicks (if I was I'd post lies & gory videos).

Thanks for being #TeamTim
Yesterday an astonishing report from Yale showing Russia forcing kidnapped kids to work in drone factories, how Croatia may have embarrassed the Putin/ Hungary/Slovakia axis.

Those and many more stories in Tuesday's thread, click here to review:

2-3 weeks ago, Russia started copying Ukraine's attacks on railway infrastructure and is having success.

At night, Ukrzaliznytsia substations were hit, causing power losses firing the rail network.

Over 20 passenger trains were on affected routes, but there are no casualties. Image

Day 1301 of Ukraine fighting for its survival. The right to be free, speak their own language, worship in their own churches, to learn their own history.

A history of long suppression by Russia.
As war crimes grow daily, the words "never again" don't seem to apply.
Here's the🧵
Yesterday began, and ended, with Russia attacking Zaporizhzhia, injuring civilians.

Also, the head of the IAEA disgraced himself in Russia's arms, changes of 🇺🇦army leadership, and how a Russian guy was a Putin opponent, until 3 mins after being elected.

First though a breaking news after a number of morning attacks by Russia, particularly in Kyiv region.

This is in the town of Fastiv where a logistics centre for the electronic retail company EpiCentre (EpiTsentr).

Residents are warned of potential air pollution. Image

Day 1300 of Putin's war.
Another 100 days of fighting completed.
We are no nearer peace than we were 100 days ago.

Almost 200 days ago Trump demanded a 30-day unconditional ceasefire.
Not surprising as he started it, it's always Putin stopping peace.

Here's Monday's daily🧵
If you were busy over the weekend, click the link to see all Sunday's stories.

It was a day when Ukraine had to quickly repair a main railway line after a massive explosion, but they also managed to make multiple hits on Russia's rail and oil industries

The overnight bombardment from Russia remained lower than usual, although 84 drones and 3 S-300 missiles caused a fair bit of damage on 'soft' targets

With 59 UAVs stopped, that's a 70% success rate.
None of the missiles was intercepted either

The 28 hits occurred in 13 places Image

Day 1299 - the daily thread starts here, covering all things to do with the illegal invasion of Ukraine by its demonic neighbour.

Plenty to catch up on due to the late start today.
So no time to waste, let's go...
Apologies for the much later start than intended, due to a few technical issues, as well as Dad's Taxi being booked for a rescue mission😂

Before we look at today's events, here's the link back to Saturday's thread:

At the end of yday's thread, I wrote about what was a probable Russian strike on Kyiv's railway.

Ukraine's Gen Staff doesn't say it was an attack but admits a "detonation of ammunition on a train carrying military cargo"

Accidents happen, but either way it's a clear blow.

Hello on Day 1298 of Russia's full invasion of its sovereign neighbour. So, only 1295 days late in fulfilling the boast of taking Kyiv in 3 days. #EATP for Putin.

I've compiled a🧵every single day without fail.
You can help my work with a boost, comment, re-post or a coffee🙏
Friday saw more important visitors arrive in Kyiv (and another familiar place is in Ukraine today).

There was more solidarity and practical support, while Russia suffered more oil woes.

If you missed anything, click and scroll here:

I'll start in Odesa, because that's where the familiar face has turned up.

He was planning to return to Ukraine a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't make it, but now Boris is back.
Loved by nearly all Ukrainians, his early arrival (with Lord Ashcroft) meant he avoids the crowds. Image
