The situation is still developing. We hope the missile launch was a fake, or dummy warheads to "draw out" #Ukraine's air defence.

Also hearing now that cruise-missile laden ships are in the launch zone in the Black Sea. This is not uncommon, but #Russia's current tactic of a mixed missile attack increases the likelihood of ships being involved.
Estimated time of arrival of rockets: 03:10 Kyiv time.

Some breaking news, we are learning about repeated explosions in #Zaporizhzhia this morning.
S-300 anti aircraft missiles again being used by #Russia to attack civilians, but monitoring groups say one exploded just after launch, before it crossed the frontline.
It's noisy.

The weather has improved in #Ukraine. But though the ground may be drying out a little on the frontline, conditions are still incredibly tough.
Here's the only viable route for #Ukraine to/from #Khromove (then beyond to #ChasivYar)

Kyle Porter, 27, of Calgary, + 21yo Cole Zelenco of Ontario were both serving with Ukraine's International Legion.
They gave their lives for freedom. RIP

I saw this photo a few days ago on a busy day, so worth highlighting now. It really is remarkable the standard of some of #Ukraine's longer term bases created, and this isn't the only one just for the cameras.
A new week begins and a bit of a landmark day in #Russia's war as we reach Day 250.

I covered this a few days ago and Whitehall also concludes #Russia has accepted that its defence needs to be way behind current front lines.

1/ #RussiaIsATerroristState that can be divided in three. Firstly, #Moscow. A city of over 10 million residents that reap all the benefits of a typical 19th century empire. Moscow population is assured to live in comfort by squeezing wealth from the provinces as needed.
2/ Secondly, the cities that Moscow uses to siphon wealth from the regions. Case in point, #StPetersburg. The city has been spared from the worst of the #War_in_Ukraine so far. There are indications however, that it is expendable to Moscow.
3/ Thirdly, everyone else. The most visible city in this group is Nizhny Novgorod. A city of over 1.4M three decades ago, its population now hovers around 1.2M. That points towards (at least) 200k souls leaving the place in search for a better future.
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

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.

The organisation's pledged to have its' "#Ukraine report" examined by independent experts.
Amnesty International says it "wants to understand what exactly went wrong" according to Deutsche Welle.
Appointing @AgnesCallamard perhaps?

Three dead, five injured so far in another cowardly attack by #Russia on a residential building in #Mykolaiv.
The usual terror tactics, soft targets. Civilians very much in the Russian army sights with each missile.
Each one a war crime and so far no justice as killing continues
