Sunday's #RussiaUkraine news thread begins here on Day 298 of the war.
Welcome along and Happy Hanukkah if you celebrate this evening.
Incidentally, the New York Times quotes Putiin calling #Ukraine's Jewish leader #Zelenskyy as "an assistant to Nazism"🍲🫖⚫️(no kettle emoji😂)
It's nice to report another fairly quiet start to Day 298 in #Ukraine.

There's a touch of Star Wars about the war from today...
Actor @MarkHamill, a strong supporter of #Ukraine, has become the voice of the English language Air Alert app.
"Luke Skywalker" adds some iconic Star Wars quotes along with news on possible threats.
#SaveUkraine
Looks like we are just 4 days away from the 100,000th regular Russian troop being killed in action in #Ukraine.
Another bumper "crop" of almost 600 in the last 24 hours for the nation defending its' sovereignty. #Russia continues to suffer regular hits on its military bases.
I wrote about a touch of Star Wars in #Ukraine... but it's more like "It Ain't Half Hot Mum" for #Russia, reading today's update from British Intel.
Desperate to revive flagging morale with circus performers, singers and musical instruments.
They know the Funeral March?
This time next week much of the world will be celebrating Christmas.
I'm retweeting this in case you missed the farce, probably highly insulting to many.
#Russia plans to effectively lock up the entire population in Occupied #Zaporizhzhia.
#Ukraine's General Staff says an extraordinary 24-hour curfew will be introduced
Meanwhile 24 settlements in free ZP and #Kherson were shelled in the last 24 hours.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
Much has been made in Russian media of an interview with ex-senator of Virginia, Richard Black.
The discredited pro-#Russia mouthpiece claims "Russia is winning in #Bakhmut, Ukraine is losing"
#BakhmutHolds after 19 weeks and #Ukraine's army publishes these photos from the town
The once magnificent Donbas Arena in #Donetsk has been shelled again.
Formerly home to @FCShakhtar, ten years ago it staged the semi final of #Euro2012
#DonetskIsUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Family and friends of Simon "Grimmy" Lingard, from Great Harwood in Lancashire, this weekend said their final goodbyes.
Simon was not only a brave volunteer soldier but also a fundraiser for #Ukraine

#RussiaOnFire
The #Irkutsk region has seen a few "smoking related" accidents lately.
This evening a powerful explosion at the #Markovskoe oil and gas field.
The fire covered an area of about 1,000 square metres.
#StopRussia
#Russia claims #Ukraine shelled a hospital in #Donetsk today.
Puppet leader Denis Pushilin says a man died at the Kalinin hospital.
There is no proof who fired the shells.
This video is said to be #Ukraine forces hitting #Russian targets on the Kinburn spit.
The battle for the thin strip of land south of #Mykolaiv continues.
Unverified - virtually no news has come from Kinburn with both sides reporting almost the exact opposite.
#RussiaOnFire
A village in #Belgorod region, bordering #Ukraine, is without power tonight.
A local substation caught fire in the village of #KrasnayaYaruga.
Some locals mention an explosion before the fire, but not all.
#StopRussia
Looks like a couple of Russian Father Christmases did their best to fulfill Ukrainian seasonal wishes by trying to throw themselves under passing cars.
