Today is Day 999 of Europe's war

It's cold in the UK today. Imagine if you didn't have heat. Not just for one day, but maybe for most of the winter Now imagine it's 10 degrees colder

If you can do that you understand what people in #Ukraine feel, or fear.
Welcome to my daily🧵
Monday and Tuesday are days of mourning in #Sumy region after an horrific attack on an apartment block.

It was the last in a long line of murders of civilians by #Russia on Sunday.

I produced the longest thread for months (over 60 posts) - catch up here
Let me start today's news in #Sumy, because sadly the number of killed + injured after #Russia's strike have both increased.

An 11th person died during the night while 89 people required medical treatment. Medics, rescuers, psychologists and volunteers worked through the night.
All the areas in western #Ukraine which were without power yesterday have now had supplies restored.

#Sumy and #Odesa remain two large areas where most have no electricity.

#StandWithUkraine
#Russia attacked #Ukraine with two Iskander ballistic missiles last night and one Kh-59 guided missile, none of which could be intercepted.

None of the 11 drones hit target. 8 were shot down and 3 stopped by EW. Image
After having zero boats in the Black Sea for weeks, #Russia has quietly moved 2 missile-carrying warships back into the water to the south of #Ukraine.

They are carrying a total of 8 cruise missiles. Image
Now to #Russia's daily losses for the last 24 hours (#Ukraine figures).

1,560 more dead/wounded keeps up the November average. Even though there are only 30 days, it's well on course to be the bloodiest month for the invaders.
Indeed, it should break the record on 28 Nov. Image
So the USA finally lifted the incredibly harmful ban on using long range weapons in #Russia. But whether there is unrestricted use is not clear.

No Taurus from #Germany.. but Berlin will give #Ukraine new "Mini-Taurus" AI drones.

Not thought to be related to the war, but a very upsetting story from #Dnipropetrovsk.

Fire has hit the Pegasus stables and equine hospital in the village of Yelizavetivka.

It's thought 140 horses died in the fire. The structure was made of wood. Image

#RussiaOnFire

In #Yekaterinburg people are jumping from windows to save themselves.

The roof of City Hospital No. 3 caught fire.

Officials say it is now under control.
#Odesa has been hit by a missile.

There are casualties. Residential buildings and civil infrastructure has ben damaged.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Odesa UPD

* WARNING VERY GRAPHIC VIDEO *
Eight people have died, 18 more were injured.

A child was among the injured. Four of the wounded are in serious condition.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Odesa

In the attack which killed at least 8 and injured 18, two residential buildings were damaged.

It's reported another missile, which did not explode, hit an educational institution.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Well I guess I'm being hidden again by Xitter and definitely not showing up in people's feeds judging by how few views and interaction there is.

How convenient to suppress pro-#Ukraine accounts when #Russia goes on a mass killing spree.

On his Telegram channel, President #Zelenskyy reacts to the latest tragedy.

The automated Google translation still uses the Russian spelling for #Odesa, and there is a misleading translation to "dozens" for a word which means "10s" - so to clarify, the number injured remains 18 Image
Remember the usual. If you read something good about Russia, or bad about Ukraine, if it doesn't "smell" right, check who's publishing it. Check with other sources you know are reliable.

Some bad things do happen in 🇺🇦 but we will report them accurately.
#Odesa

Now 39 injuries have been reported, four of whom at children under 12. The death toll remains at 8.

Three residential buildings were damaged, one caught fire. The roof of a university was also damaged by falling debris.
#StopRussia
* CAUTION - one blurred, but graphic image *

#Odesa UPD
The number of people killed, as a result of #Russia's missile attack this morning, has increased to 10.

7 of the dead are policemen and medics and 2 local residents also died.

Among 39 injured are 14 police. Image

Videos have been released of the moment #Russia hit a hydro-electric power plant in #Kremenchuk.

It was part of yesterday morning's massive missile attack.

Local sources say the strike was carried out by three missiles, two of which hit nearby.

Interesting incident to report in #Russia's crumbling aviation industry.

A pilot on a Rossiya Airlines flight from #StPetersburg to #Nalchik reports attempts to blind them with a green laser as they came in to land.

They managed to touch down without problems. Image
#Russia vetoed a UN resolution to end the war in #Sudan.
Fancy that - Russia not caring about peace!

#Ukraine has "scaled up" the manufacture of Neptune missiles.

Defence Minister @rustem_umerov announced the missile has been improved too, and they've already made 100 this year alone. Image
Image
In #Odesa, photos have been released of the 7 police officers killed in #Russia's attack.

There's also the first picture from Odesa's Agricultural University which was hit by a falling missile, ripping through the roof.

In total 10 died and 55 were injured.
#StopRussia Image

#Ukraine's President went right to the hottest spot on the frontline today. Zelenskyy was in #Kupiansk, where one of #Russia's advanced groups made it all the way into the town.

Sorry, this one missed the thread..

Explosions in #Zaporizhzhia and half the city is without power again.

It therefore looks like another energy structure has been hit.

No official details yet.
It's just gone midnight in #Ukraine
That means it's the start of the 1,000th day of #Russia's full invasion. Every single day I've reported + analysed the war

I remember writing if Ukraine could get through the first 10 days they had a chance to survive!
Satellite photos show #Russia's massively increasing production of rocket engines.

@fab_hinz analysed the pics to ascertain there are five factories to produce solid-fuel rocket engines.

#Kyiv is defending itself against attack drones.

Earlier #Russia hit #Zaporizhzhia with at least 10 Iran-made #Shahed UAVs.
Around 13,000 subscribers are estimated to be without power.
Just one new coffee arrived today - minutes ago, from @2ylan.

Also, the monthly sub from @Anna_Bowles came through today. Thanks to both of you for supporting my work.
The so-called 'president' of #Abkhazia has resigned.
At the weekend, Aslan Bzhania had said he would step down, but would likely stand again in the new election.

VP Bandra Gunba becomes acting president of the defacto #Russia-occupied part of #Georgia.

Another strike on #Sumy region tonight.

It's reported by locals that the bodies of a mother and a child have been recovered from under the rubble here in #Hlukhiv, 10km from the border with #Russia.

An attack drone caused the collapse of the front of a 5-storey building.
Elsewhere in #Ukraine there are 13 other drones, with 5 probably heading to #Kyiv.

As always, full update in the morning, see you then (although I plan to start the Day 1000 thread now and then sleep).

So good night and thanks for being part of #TeamTim

Tuesday 19 November 2024.
I can't quite believe we reached 1,000 days.
#Ukraine is still free, refusing to buckle to the imperialist #Russia

I'm incredibly proud to have documented every single moment, no days off, no holiday, no sickness.

UkrainaOnline encapsulated 1000 days
If you like what I do, if you've never done it before, please consider buying me a coffee on this milestone day. It took a hell of a lot of work.

Thank you to my #TeamTim

Here's the link back to all Monday's news.
More heinous attacks. On its day of mourning, #Sumy was hit again just as the day ended, and #Odesa lost another ten residents.

Day 998 of #Russia's all out war, and Sunday 17 Nov is the day #Moscow's war criminals chose for the big missile attack on #Ukraine

It's such a difficult time for anyone associated with Ukraine. With the election of Musk/Trump, Putin's convinced terrorism will win.
Here's the🧵
Before I forget, here's the link for yesterday's thread. I know many of you like to catch up on what you've missed in #Ukraine and stories connected to the war.

#Ukraine's FM takes a swipe at #Germany's Chancellor Scholz while declaring this one of the largest air attacks.

From #Chernihiv in the north, to #Odesa in the south.
#Kharkiv in the east to #Lviv in the west. #Russia hits them all.

Hello and welcome to Day 996 of #Russia's barbaric war.

Putin's band of war criminals is throwing everything at #Ukraine's defenders for 2 months as the Kremlin is certain tRUmp will force negotiations and wants to be in the strongest position possible.

Here's the daily thread
#Russia is literally teetering on the edge of economic meltdown. If the west does not take this opportunity to ensure justice, protect borders and prosecute war criminals, historians will look back and shake their heads. They may also ask why do anything in the previous 3 years?
Anyway, let's get on with the stories of the day, although we start as ever with the link back to Thursday's thread.

It was a day which saw more problems for #Russia, more war crimes with a civilian shot dead on the street and a terrible attack on #Odesa

Very near 1000 days of war in Europe, but also we should remember that #Ukraine's allies were pretty happy to let the first invasion by #Russia in 2014 go unchecked.

Weakness, appeasement or shady deals for cash only store up and multiply problems.

Here my daily🧵on Day 995
First thing first, the link for the start of yesterday's thread.

Plenty of evidence of #Russia's pending economic collapse, especially masses of airlines. Plus rioting absconders in Russia and assassination of one of their war criminals. All in here⬇️

100% for air defence overnight

Even though it was quieter than in recent days, and air raid warnings were much shorter, #Russia still fired 59 kamikaze drones at #Ukraine

21 were shot down, 38 stopped by EW.
It seems #Belarus wasn't attacked this time by its friendly neighbour Image

It's Day 994 of #Russia's all-out invasion and war-crime-spree in #Ukraine.

Every single day (not a single day off), I've been here compiling daily threads with all the important news, fact checked and analysed in one place.

Thanks for joining me on the ride. Let's go!
For the first time in 73 days #Russia had a combined missile and drone attack overnight.

All the details coming up, but first the link to the start of Tuesday's thread for those still catching up with #Ukraine news.

I'll begin the new stories though with breaking news from occupied #Crimea.

Another car bomb attack has killed a prominent invader.

In #Sevastopol, it's reported a captain of the 1st rank of the Black Sea Fleet died when an IED exploded.

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. Image
