This is the daily #RussiaUkraineWar thread for Sunday 4 December.

It's 284 of the monstrous war with hundreds of thousands dead because of #Putin's ego and his initial war crime.

Here's the link if you missed Saturday's news:

Police in #Spain say the letter bombs sent to #Ukraine targets in the last 10 days, probably came from the city of Valladolid.

#Russia's ill-disciplined army likely committing more crimes here.

* WARNING * Disturbing photos

Unverified pictures and claims of more #RussiaWarCrimes
