Day 1001 of #Russia's all out war in #Ukraine.
The genocide & attempt to wipe its neighbour from the map continues, but #Putin's increasingly desperate.

Welcome to another daily🧵
Breaking news already early this Wednesday morning.
All the news, all day (and night) every day.
Tuesday 19 November was always going to be special. Day 1,000 and what a day it proved.
Record likes and retweets, thanks to everyone who revived my faith in the T witter audience🫂

Catch up on an epic thread here⬇️
1/2
First the breaking news - and a third attack of the night inside #Russia.

At the end of yesterday's thread you may have read of the drone attacks on #Voronezh and #Belgorod regions. Well now it's become clear that #Novgorod has also been attacked by #Ukraine's UAVs..
2/2
It looks like #Ukraine has hit another ammo warehouse, similar to the supposed ATACMS strike 24 hours ago.

But this is in #Kotovo, over 800km (500 miles) from the Ukrainian border.
Locals report the area nearby being evacuated, with residents moved to #Kulotino 8-10km away
Image
#Russia of course has been trying to hit #Ukraine with its own drones during the night.

Still a long way to go with 14 drones flying right now. A group of 8 is heading from #Sumy region to #Chernihiv and may continue to #Kyiv, where there have already been 2 alarms tonight.
No reports of serious damage in #Ukraine so far this night. But still no update on yesterday's strikes on #Kharkiv and #Zaporizhzhia where media silence was observed.
Unfortunately (or maybe there's no fortune about it, but lack of planning months ago) - the litany of bad news for #Ukraine from the front line in #Donetsk continues.

Very reliable Boris Myroshnykov reports 2 villages lost and another 3 all but gone and #Kurakhove looking bad. Image
Dear readers, I simply have to sleep a little. Four hours in 44 hours is madness! I'll get another 4 now and be back with updates.
In #Kyiv, there were some reports that drone debris damaged an apartment and a fire broke out.

However, emergency services say the blaze was caused by a domestic appliance. Image
Image
A pensioner was injured during the night in #Chernihiv region.

It's said that a rocket flew into #Pryluky.
Civilian infrastructure was also damaged, which is probably why no detailed photos have been released under Martial Law. Image
Image
Image
The United States has taken the unusual step of closing its embassy in #Kyiv because of the possibility of a "serious attack" today.
In the last 24 hours #Russia lost its 1,000th anti-aircraft system.

100 vehicles and 49 artillery systems were also destroyed by #Ukraine, while the November average of invaders lost in battle continues to rise, with a further 1,690 reported by Kyiv today. Image
#Russia gets its knickers in a twist again over the US sending anti-personnel landmines to Kyiv.

Washington says these devices become inactive after a certain amount of time.
Neither #Ukraine nor #USA has signed the Ottawa convention on landmines, so this is not illegal.
A reminder of the warning issued by the USA this morning.

If you are in #Kyiv, DO NOT ignore air warnings today and please ensure anyone you know is aware of the urgent alert. Image
I think the US Intelligence may concern #Russia actively testing a new weapon on #Ukraine.

The ballistic missile is believed to be set to be launched from the #Astrakhan region.

#Spain has now followed the US in closing its embassy in #Kyiv today.
#Russia has arrested a citizen of #Germany in connection with alleged sabotage.

The FSB says Nikolai Gaiduk crossed from Poland to attack energy facilities in #Kaliningrad region. They claim Oleksandr Zhorov, a #Ukraine citizen with German residency supplied a homemade bomb.
In occupied #Crimea, a multi-storey building caught fire this morning. No further details yet of the blaze in #Sevastopol. Image
Image
#Russia fired 122 killer drones and 5 Kh-59/69 missiles during the night attack.

#Ukraine intercepted 2 of the 5 rockets.
Of the UAVs, 56 were shot down and 58 more foiled by EW.

Of the remaining 8, five drones went back to #Russia, and one visited #Belarus. Image
#Russia's denial that it helps terrorists overseas are in tatters according to #Israel sources, reports the WSJ today.

The 🇷🇺 weapons Israel has found in Hezbollah territory "are newer, more advanced, and present in larger numbers than expected"

An update on the fire in occupied #Crimea

A disabled 84 year old man died, unable to get out of his apartment on an upper floor in #Sevastopol and no-one helped him, while emergency services arrived too late.

#Russia's occupiers say the fire was started by a faulty heater Image
Image
Image
Missile threat for #Kyiv and the following regions of #Ukraine:
Zhytomyr, Vinnytsia, and Cherkasy.

Obviously there is heightened caution today.
#Ukraine's Ombudsman revealed the extent of #Russia's war crimes against children in the first 1,000 days of war.

Almost 20,000 were kidnapped (or "forcibly deported") and nearly 2,000 are missing😢

Russia also killed around 600 and injured over 1,700 according to @lubinetzs Image
Image
Air raid sirens sounded on occupied #Crimea this afternoon. Marine traffic from #Sevastopol was suspended and the #CrimeaBridge was closed for an hour amid rumours of a missile attack.

It may have been a fake launch as nothing happened at all.
Another bad fire in occupied #Crimea.

This is in a kindergarten in #Saky near the military airfield.

Authorities don't seem concerned saying "we think the foam in the roof caught fire"
Image
Image
Early today it was reported by the ExileNova Telegram channel that there had been strikes at, or near, an oil depot in #Samara region.

There were a couple of dark images and this video, said to be from #Sosnovka, next to the plant, but I'm unable to find any proof it happened
Image
Business news and @Shell is selling its 120 fuel stations and business interests in #Ukraine.

The deal had been shrouded in secrecy, but Ukrnafta has now got the go ahead to finalise the takeover.
10 of the gas stations are in occupied territories.
1/3

I feel a mini-thread within a thread coming on..

Shall we take a peek into how business is faring in #Russia?

Sometimes pictures speak louder than words...
2/3
You want some more details on #Russia's impending financial catastrophe and possible total collapse?

#Russia spent cash trying to prop up the ruble but it's still worth less than 1 cent

Meanwhile a new report from the Central Bank shows inflation spiralling despite denials Image
Image
3/3
The @MoscowTimes also reports Putler won't be seen in public now long range missiles can be fired.

Obviously #EATP for #Putin.

I must credit #CrimeaWind Telegram channel for this fairly comprehensive list of how well it's going for Bunker Boy and his "growing economy" Image
Image
An update on the vessel from #China suspected of cutting under-sea cables.... well, there is no update!

The Yi Peng 3 is still going nowhere, but a diving ship from #Norway has left its side to move a little further south. #Denmark still says nothing.

ekstrabladet.dk/nyheder/samfun…
#Putin prepares to submit his wet dream to Trump, making #Ukraine disappear if the US agrees.

In red: occupied regions become part of Russia.
Orange will be a pro-Russia vassal state (like Belarus)
Yellow is "disputed territory" to be decided between Poland, Romania + Hungary. Image
Well, the timing is incredible, and I share Mr Seely's anger.

* BREAKING *
#Russia media report British #StormShadow missiles have been used on Russian territory for the first time.

Z bloggers claim the village of Maryino in the #Kursk region was repeatedly struck - the video records repeated strikes. The video seems genuine.
The latest military aid package from #USA has been revealed.

The $275m worth of equipment heading to #Ukraine includes: Image
Someone smuggled out and managed to publish a view from inside a hospital in #Rostov.

All happy campers with loads of space, delighted to lose body parts for their Tsar.
#Ukraine likely hit a #Russia Command Post, controlling the #Kursk operation.

A large % of the total #StormShadow missiles were used. Defence Express says the target was on an estate belonging to Putin.
Generals from #NorthKorea may be among casualties.
defence-ua.com/news/shozhe_sc…
#FriendlyFire

One of #Russia's armoured vehicles smashed into a civilian car in #Belgorod.

It happened on Sunday but authorities tried to hush it up, until this photo from #Korocha was published by Pepel. There's no word on casualties of course. Image
Immediately after the StormShadow attack in #Kursk, #Russia made 7 x TU-95 bombers airborne.

It could be a scare tactic, a fake, or a real attack launch.
We will know soon enough, but check for alerts if you're in #Ukraine.
ATACMS may have been used again.

There appears to have been a hit in occupied #Bakhmut (Video 1 - v. graphic). It's at or near the former Champagne Plant

3 months ago #Russia's military helpfully published video 2, showing how they converted it to a military HQ + hospital.
Another momentous day. I agree wholeheartedly with Piers Morgan 🤣

#StormShadow UPD

#Ukraine released video of today's strikes on #Russia's operational command post in #Maryino in the #Kursk region.

It's very long, the last few seconds show some low-res close-ups of the damage.
The United States says its embassy in #Kyiv should be open as normal tomorrow.

#StandWithUkraine

This evening, a new allegation of surrendering #Ukraine soldiers being mass executed in cold blood.

Again, #Russia emulating its hero Hitler & the Nazis.

The video is in the next post, skip it if you don't want to watch, but this is the sickening post glorifying the crime. Image
2/2
Here is the (low res) video of #Russia's crime.
The time code shows this afternoon, but that's probably when the file was created by the channel owner.

The video therefore cannot be verified, and no location is given, but it fits with reports not to take prisoners in #Kursk
#Ukraine's ombudsman has reacted to the likely new executions - which he says happened in the #Kursk region.

Some of the price rises for #Russia in 2024 so far, with still 12% of the year remaining
These are OFFICIAL Rosstat figures:

Potatoes +73%
Onions +33%
Butter +30%
Cabbage +26%
Beetroot +25%
Lamb +21%
Milk +15%
Beef +11%

I've been saying it for a while, #RussiaIsCollapsing.
Some said nuclear secrets, some said oil.
No-one said zoo animals!

#Putin sent a minion to officially hand over 70 animals to a zoo in #NorthKorea.

In case you're wondering, a lion, 2 bears, yaks, cockatoos, pheasants and ducks were forcibly deported!

moscowtimes.ru/2024/11/20/put…
It's been mercifully quiet for a while. No major attacks either side

#Biden's trying to get half of #Ukraine's debt to the US written off. Congress may disagree?

#Germany confirmed more equipment given to 🇺🇦, while UK hopes today's events will convince Taurus to be handed over
If you ever wondered what Boris looked like at 8am.

The limited edition “Fight for the Light” clothing collection supports #Ukraine's energy workers & defence forces who help protect + restore power after attacks. Funds are raised for “Return Alive” fund
#Ukraine's prosecutor also launched an investigation into ANOTHER shooting of POWs.

This photo shows 2 soldiers stripped naked + shot dead near #Pokrovsk in #Donetsk region on 10 November.

They are also investigating reports of the murder of 3 more wounded soldiers by #Russia. Image
#Italy has pledged to invest €200m to help restore #Ukraine's power grid.

Italian Deputy PM + Foreign Minister, Antonio Tajani announced the intention during a speech at the plenary session of the Italian-Ukrainian Business Forum.

I'm way behind in reading notifications & acknowledging your comments

Also due to an immensely busy 2 days, I've not yet had chance to show my appreciation to your incredible generosity on these days.
So many coffees & kind words.
Thank you so bloody much, all of you here💙💛 Image

There are still no attack drones in #Ukraine tonight.
Some rare respite for air defence and a chance to get some quality sleep I hope for the beleaguered population

Maybe there were a lot of drones in one of those depots hit?

I'm off to bed now too. See you back here tomorrow

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.

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.

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.
