Sunday 25 September, Day 214 of #Russia's war of choice. Imagine a leader choosing to send over 50,000 of his countrymen to death and calling up another million, against a peaceful nation which never fired on, nor invaded anyone!

Here is the daily news thread

#StandWithUkraine
Sunday started with a bang in #Kherson.

More on that in a moment, but Saturday was a quiet one, thankfully. If you want to scroll back through, here's the thread:

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine

It's believed #Ukraine has killed another collaborator in #Kherson.

Former Deputy of National Affairs Oleksiy Zhuravko is one of the victims after missiles destroyed this hotel populated by Russians. He was twice an MP in Ukraine before moving to Russia in 2014.
#StopRussia
The daily British update shows the problems in recruitment for #Russia.

Quite a few have written about how Putin could end up with a war on two fronts, with the second one quelling growing dissent inside Russia.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
I reported y'day on the clear evidence of ineligible men being called up in the mobilisation.

Now two senior lawmakers criticised the call-ups, with one Valentina Matviyenko backing protests:
“I consider it absolutely right that they are triggering a sharp reaction in society”
In total there are over 800 arrests in anti-mobilisation protests as fears grow across #Russia of the indiscriminate nature of the call-ups.

More protests are taking place, or trying to be held. In #Yakutsk, 8 hours ahead of London, people are told not to be afraid when arrested
the number of #Russia's war dead is on course to hit 60,000 in early October, I reckon 5/10/22

Almost all categories show above average numbers today, with 4 🇷🇺 Air Force jets perhaps the highlight (1x Su-25, 2x Su-30 and 1x Su-34)

#SlavaUkraini
Back to #Yakutsk where wives, girlfriends and mothers are playing games with #Putin's goons.

Looks like ring-a-ring-of-roses which my British followers will understand! The police weren't happy!

#StandWithUkraine #StopPutinNOW
Reports of another explosion in #Berdyansk within the last half hour.

The occupied city was also hit by a blast yesterday, but little is known about the effects.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
#Georgia - nice meme!
A new invasion!

#StopRussia #StopPutin
More of #Russia's rockets flew into #Zaporizhzhia early this morning.

There were no injuries but many windows were blown out.

#StayWithUkraine
A kamikaze drone has hit #Odesa this morning.

Here's the moment of impact.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
What's going on in #Yekaterinburg?

"Strange" sounds heard in the night. Residents kept awake by "rumblings" until 3am.

Yekaterinburg is quite often opposed to #Moscow.

e1.ru/text/gorod/202…
Anti mobilisation protesters blocked a main highway in #Dagestan.

Residents of #Endirey blocked the Khasavyurt-Makhachkala route.
Later police fired into the air to disperse these protesters.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
There's been another #Ukraine attack on the infamous #Antonivskyi bridge in #Kherson region.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Amazing story here about what's occuring on one of #Russia's borders with young men trying to escape conscription.

And this is on life, which is one of the most rabid anti-western outlets.

Thx @CarolynnePries1

#Ukraime reports a double success in #Kherson this evening.

After destroying 4 of #Russia's jets yesterday, Air Command South says it downed another Su-25 in #Beryslav.

The Occupiers then sent a Mi-8 chopper to rescue the pilot, but it too was taken out by the #Odesa brigade.
Earlier this afternoon a car bomb in #Melitopol blew a vehicle apart.

Naturally the Occupiers claim two #Ukraine partisans accidentally killed themselves in the incident on vul. Lomonosov. However no proof of that and car bomb attacks have been quite effective previously.
With big queues still at the #Russia-Georgia borderit looks as if #Georgiamay close the border tomorrow.

One MP claims it will happen as so many Russian men in the country is a threat to national security.

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine

silkway.news/georgia-closes…
#Russia media reporting a petrol bomb attack on an electoral commission collaborator in #Melitopol.

The Occupiers say he survived the Molotov cocktail incident. The sham referendum continues.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
Even footballers in #Russia have not avoided the draft.

It's reported the coach of Stavropolagrosoyuz is threatening to withdraw from the Russian Kubok after multiple summonses for players.
Meanwhile a lawyer, masseur and administrators of Russia's national team also called up
At least 2,346 people have now been arrested in anti-mobilisation protests in #Russia since the draft was announced.

Today 101 detentions in #Makhachkala and another 24 in #Yakutsk, both featured at the start of today's thread.

#mobilization #StopPutinNOW
#Ukraine's President, speaking this evening in Russian, accused #Russia of ethnic genocide.

@ZelenskyyUa reckons Putin is trying to "exterminate indigenous peoples"; as noted in these threads far more are sent to die in Ukraine from the east + south

t.me/V_Zelenskiy_of…
Two more big mass graves have been unearthed in #Izium (#Izyum)

The news was given by #Zelenskyi in an interview with CBS's "Face The Nation"

"Today I received more information. Two more mass graves, big graves with hundreds of people."

cbsnews.com/news/volodymyr…
The good news for #Ukraine is that the US air defence NASAMS system is now in the country.

It's believed to be in #Kharkiv for sure and may also be defending the skies in other areas of the country.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
Finally for Sunday, this video is causing great hilarity in #Ukraine.

Occupiers looting a property came across wireless headphones for the first time. They think it's some king of miracle. Some joke "imagine their reaction when discover toilets inside houses"

It's Monday and I hope it's the start of a good week for you.

This is the daily thread number 215 with all the news from #Russia's war on #Ukraine

Now anyone who gives over £200 will receive a personal message of thanks from🇺🇦 soldiers on the frontline.

crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-ukraine…
Just to clarify, if you have already made a pledge, you are still eligible. So if you gave £100, we need £101 more, or if you donated £200, just an extra £1 will do it, but feel free to give more if you can afford it.

Help #Ukraine defend itself and defend democracy!
If you missed anything on Sunday, here's the start of yesterday's thread.

I was on the road most of yesterday and posted a lot in the evening.

It's seven months ago today that #Russia started its illegal full invasion of #Ukraine.

The "short special military operation" started in winter, and is now in its fourth season. The killing continues.

Here's the daily news thread for Saturday 24 Sept

Let's start Day 213 with #Russia's total losses after 7 months. On average 264 soldiers are being killed every day. The ratio between deaths and injured/disabled means if #Ukraine's estimates are correct likely 200,000 have been lost to the military

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
the morning update from the #UK's intelligence concentrates on #Russia's dambuster tactics!

Almost the weekend, this is Friday's daily thread with all the news, views + analysis as #Russia attacks #Ukraine

It's Day 212 of the war

There's an update to the Ukraine fundraiser. We hope to get one of these alongside the winter clothing. If you can help, see my pinned tweet Image
As usual a link to yesterday's thread as a few of you tell me you like to check up on the news in one place.

Another fairly quiet day in terms of attacks and missiles, although just before Thursday ended, #Zaporizhzhia suffered a bad attack:

#Mobilization is still the big talking point in #Russia

This is a scene from #Makhachkala in the republic of #Dagestan. A big convoy of fresh convicts, sorry conscripts.

Woman can be heard wailing, knowing they may never see loved ones again.

Welcome to Thursday's daily thread on #Russia's war.
It's Day 211 of non stop shelling and killing.

#Ukraine needs your help, if you can spare anything, please consider donating to our Fundraiser as we're falling behind the target

Wednesday was remarkable.

From pathetic Putin's ramblings/partial mobilisation, to the street protests in #Russia, to the prisoner swap deal which saw all 5 Britons released, ending with Zelenskyy's focused and powerful, history-making speech at the #UN

Last night there were big queues at #Russia's southern border with #Georgia.

Presumably men trying to flee before they receive the dreaded call-up to fight in #Ukraine.

Yesterday there were reportedly long queues at the Finnish border and flight tickets selling out.

We've reached Day 210 of #Russia's 3 day plan to topple #Kyiv.
#Ukraine fights on.

If you want to scroll through yesterday's news, it's here:

#StandWithUkraine

The important thing to say is that President Putin is making his delayed (recorded) speech now about the future of the illegal war
Putin announced only a partial mobilisation, which is what I suspected.

So anyone who's on the reserve will be called up due to #Russia's shortage of cannon fodder.

Tuesday 20 September - Day 209 of the illegal war being waged by #Russia, welcome to the daily thread.

#Ukraine is fighting for democracy, for its very survival. Our fundraiser is at 18% of target - a good start. Photos added of what we will be buying.

Many interesting stories late on Monday's thread

⚡️#Russia's soldiers sexually assaulted a 4 year old child.
⚡️🇷🇺embassy in Canada firebombed
⚡️Big (suspicious) fire in 🇷🇺 city
⚡️Employees forced to "donate" over 40% of their weekly wage to Russia's war

Here's a risky investment for Russians.

How about booking a New Year's Eve party at the #Kerch (Crimea) bridge?
New cruises being launched from next week.

Well, guess they like fireworks on 31 December. Why not try a #HIMARS light show experience?
