Day 993 of #Russia's three-day bid to take #Kyiv.
The invaders are still mired in #Donetsk, not that far from where they started.
This is my daily thread with all the news, all the time. Please remember how much work goes into this and help if you can: ko-fi.com/twmcltd
Monday's thread was tough, documenting horrendous attacks on #Kramatorsk #KryvyiRih #Mykolaiv and #Zaporizhzhia as well as attacks on many other places which were foiled.
But also proof of #Russia hitting its own and a happy anniversary. Catch-up here:
Monday saw an all-time record number of invaders' deaths/injuries. Today that number has been smashed.
In the last 24 hours #Russia lost another 1,950 troops says #Ukraine.
Many deaths are in #Kursk where there are suicidal assaults.
Also note 81 APC/APVs and 23 tanks.
This time yesterday, #Russia slammed a missile into an apartment block into an apartment block in #KryvyiRih
Last night this woman's body was recovered. In the next couple of hours her three children were also found dead. Father Maksym lost his entire family, murdered by Putin
Last night in the thread I reported on #Ukraine's strike on an oil depot in #Belgorod, near the regional border with #Voronezh.
Officials say the usual no damage, no injuries.
These are the only images I've managed to find from locals.
#StopRussia
Looting & theft have long been known to be part of life under occupation.
In #Melitopol they seize whole homes.
A woman, now living in #Norway, gave her sister power of attorney at #Russia's embassy in Oslo. The local governor still seized her apartment. ria-m.tv/news/364525/ji…
The search and rescue operation in #KryvyiRih has been completed.
A mother and her three children have been pronounced dead - the youngest child just 2 months old.
14 others were injured in #Russia's latest outrage.
#Ukraine's Emergency workers have freed two people who became trapped in an apartment block in #Zaporizhzhia region.
The building in #Stepnohirsk was badly damaged by an airstrike according to governor Ivan Fedorov, but the rescued residents needed only minor treatment.
Residents in #Sumy often spend mornings cleaning up after the latest attack by #Russia.
So it is in #Krasnopil which was shelled with 4 anti-tank rockets. No tanks nor military were near.
No-one was injured, but more home and lives ruined.

1/2 Sir @Keir_Starmer doesn't want the #UK to be "hung out to dry" & will make a 'final plea' to Biden to give his blessing to #Ukraine hitting deep inside #Russia
Biden doesn't object to #StormShadows being used but will not back it.
They'll meet at next week's G20 meeting
2/2 Britain's PM will also urge Biden to release $20bn for #Ukraine from frozen #Russia funds, before he leaves office.
The Telegraph has a slightly different take, still reporting Downing Street's version to keep the heat off Starmer. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…
#Taiwan has given a massive boost to #Ukraine's air defence.
Forbes reports the threatened island has donated its surplus HAWK surface-to-air missile batteries to #Kyiv. There could be up to 15 extra systems deployed.
#StandWithUkraine
It's always important to remember heroes. But in #Chelyabinsk, for some reason women are upset at the memorial for Denys Sinitsyn.
After all, Sinitsyn only raped + killed a woman, gouging out her eyes before she died.
In #Russia all is forgiven if you kill Ukrainians
#Russia dropped a 500kg aerial bomb on occupied #Luhansk region.
@Astra_Press reports residents had to hurriedly evacuate when the missile fell next to a residential building in #Almazna on Sunday.
They say it's the 142nd such case of #FriendlyFire
The last of #Russia's drones was shot down at 08:15 and we finally have the official stats from #Ukraine
It seems one S-300 missile hit #Kharkiv and Kh-59/69s in #Chernihiv #Sumy and #Kharkiv
110 drones were fired
Shot down: 46
Stopped with EW: 60
Flew to 🇷🇺:2 🇧🇾:1
UAV hits: 1
Occupiers report four injuries in #Horlivka after morning shelling.
#Russia says the centre of the town in #Donetsk region was hit, including this bus.
#RussiansGOHOME #DonetskIsUkraine
#Donetsk itself has also been hit this morning.
These photos are from the #Kyivskyi district of the occupied city.
#StopRussia
+1 #FriendlyFire
This time #Russia's aviation missed their own troops, who stumbled upon this dropped aerial bomb which didn't explode in occupied #Ukraine.
"What the hell? What are you? This needs to be sorted out" says the invader.
First video of the moment #Russia blew up the dam near #StariTerny in free #Donetsk. Villages downstream of the #Kurakhiv reservoir started to flood. The true extent of the damage is not yet known.

In occupied #Crimea a fuel tanker has exploded.
One person has been injured in the incident in #Simferopol.
Explosions are continuing as emergency workers fight the blaze.

The fascist state excells itself- jailing a 68yo paediatrician for 5.5 years for "fakes" about #Russia's army.
Resembling the Salem witch trials, Nadezhda Buyanova was convicted on a single allegation made behind closed doors
Shouts "shame" and "fascist" as sentence was passed
Purely coincidental of course, the judge who today jailed the highly respected paediatrician, had just been promoted by the Fascist State.
@Sota_Vision found Olga Fedina was elevated to the Moscow City Court just 6 weeks ago.
Hello and a very warm welcome to Monday's #Ukraine thread, documenting all the important news (and no gratuitous gore) from the country's defiance in the face of outright fascism and war crimes from invading #Russia.
It's Day 992, another day stained with blood.
Let's go
Sunday was another very busy day with a near 50-post thread.
Unrest in #Russia
#Belarus attacked by 🇷🇺
Strikes on military targets in #Moscow + #Bryansk
Help from #France
and Ukraine hating Trump Jr being a tw*t
It's all here⬇️
Though it may have not have sounded much, this blast was a 5-storey building being hit in the last hour.
Governor Serhiy Lysak says information about victims is being ascertained.
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.

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!
