Day 128 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.

The illegal, insane, inhumane war which was Putin's choice.

More murder and war crimes today as the little man in the Kremlin orders revenge for the loss if Snake Island

All the news right here in one place, welcome to the daily thread
The revenge from #Russia for the anger at losing #SnakeIsland is an horrendous missile attack on residents in #Odesa/#Odessa region.

17 dead and 31 injured as rescuers work at the site.

Yet another war crime

#Putin loves symbolism and to leave calling cards.
It's no coincidence that he ordered the murderous strikes on an apartment block and two leisure complexes in #Odesa region with exactly the same delivery as #Kremenchuk - three X-22 missiles fired from Tu-22 strategic bombers.
3/
Now an 18th person has died in the cowardly attack by #Russia on the #Odesa region. Three children are among the dead, another is in a coma.

The main hits were in Belgorod-Dniester region of #Odessa. One missile destroyed a 9-storey residential building.

One more video from #Odesa region, south #Ukraine.
The resort village of #Serhiivka.

The British today confirming #Ukraine forced #Russia to leave #SnakeIsland.

The information about the oil refinery in #Lysychansk does seem to be a little outdated. Image
One more small boat was added to #Russia's list of war losses.

A small craft was lost during the last #Ukraine attack on Snake Island and the ensuing evacuation by the Kremlin's forces, along with a Ka-52 helicopter which I wrote about last night. Image
There were also rocket attacks in #Mykolaiv region overnight.

#Ukraine's authorities there claim #Russia used outlawed cluster munitions again yesterday, while fresh grads already arrived this morning.

This is a video of the scene of one strike on a business in #Nikolaev
Today, the #EU flag has symbolically been installed in #Ukraine's Parliament.

The President of the European Commission @vonderleyen spoke via video link to The Rada. President @ZelenskyyUa pledged to fulfill all requirements to allow🇺🇦 to move from candidate to full 🇪🇺 member
Haunting

This poster recalls being sent to summer kids' camps at #Serhiivka, in #Odesa region, where many died today.

"Instead of children's laughter and fun, just death and ruin... #Russia will take everything if you don't stop them."

#SaveUkraine

Another mass grave reportedly found in #Mariupol'

There is no hope now of ever knowing the real extent of the campaign of murder by #Russia's army in the southern port city. Crimes, like bodies, are hidden, burned.

#Donetsk Oblast. On the frontline at #Yasynuvata.

This is just east of #Avdiivka and only 10km or so north of Donetsk city itself.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
More on the last tweet. It seems certain to be a #Ukraine attack on occupied territory

A new video of the scene at #Yasynuvata nr #Donetsk. Rockets have hit railway infrastructure and warehouses, maybe ammo dump

In addition reports of a hit on an oil depot in #Rovenky, #Luhansk
#Turkey/#Turkiye has reportedly blocked access to two liberal western journalism sites.

It's claimed @dwnews and @VOANews are accused of broadcasting on the internet without a licence.
#Russia's Defence Ministry claims its troops are fighting in the centre of #Lysychansk now.

I already reported it looks like #Ukraine has had to give up the oil refinery; now Russians say they control the Matrosskaya mine and a gelatin plant.

Ukrainian Borshch has been included in the UNESCO cultural heritage list!

#Bulgaria's carried out a controlled explosion of a Soviet-era naval mine near its Black Sea coast.

There have been a few reports of mines floating in the Black Sea since the war began.

#Russia and #Ukraine accuse each other of planting them.
The death toll in #Odesa has risen to 20 after today's attack by #Russia.

Peskov says they don't attack civilian targets, just like he said the west was lying about Russian about to invade in February.

Before and after "Russian World" intervened today at this civilian retreat Image
WTF?
Not only does Putin not even hide it any more, the little man audaciously brags about his real intent (which I warned about all along)

If this is genuine, no country should admit any Russian passenger across its borders until all these are destroyed

#Russia's Foreign Ministry has just said "NATO starts an arms race"

It's unbelievable - having bragged about its new "Sarmat" nuclear capable missile which was tested in April, plus the Zircon from Submarine and the previous triumphant broadcasts of its new hypersonic weapons.
Often trolls write to me about Russia just supporting Donetsk's right to be free
Obviously it's baloney, Russia fomented trouble, while Putin brutally put down Chechnya's Independence bid.

Now no support for Karakalpakstan, huge demos, as it hopes to cede from 🇷🇺ally #Uzbekistan
US Ice Hockey team @NHLFlyers has lost its goal-tender.

Ivan Fedotov was trying to leave #Russia to start his new NHL contract in #Philadelphia when he was detained. Fedotov is suspected of evading the army and has been taken to the military registration and enlistment office.
* WARNING * Graphic video *

I cannot verify this, but it's said to show young victims of the #Odesa bombing.

In the early hours this morning #Russia attacked a resort in #Odessa, killing 20 and injuring many others.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
As I've been reporting for a while, #Russia has now confirmed appeals for have been submitted by at least one of the British POWs sentenced to death.

Lawyers for Shaun Pinner and Moroccan Brahim Saadoun have lodged appeals.

TASS reports Aiden Aslin has not yet appealed.
Time for #RussiaOnFire again...

A fire in the mayor's building at #Krasnoyarsk
All employees evacuated the building. Authorities say the blaze broke out in a technical room on the 6th floor.

Although this looks interesting, it doesn't look like obvious sabotage.

#SaveUkraine Image
And another one.. #RussiaOnFire

This was a large fire at a store in #Voronezh
There are few details

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
It seems #Russia are now attacking #SnakeIsland even though it's empty.

The question now is what secret information did they leave behind?

Boris Johnson has been made an honorary citizen of #Odesa

The British PM gets the Order of Hryhoriy Marazli for help during the war.

Hennadiy Trukhanov said if the entire world took the same position as the British, we would already have defeated Russia

suspilne.media/256270-premer-…
More much needed equipment will soon be heading to #Ukraine.

USA certainly stepping up to the plate after a slow start.

Saturday 27 December 2025 is Day 1403 of Russia's war of choice.

The day began with missile attacks on Ukraine shortly after midnight and the terrorism continued with drone strikes, may into residential areas, with Kyiv bearing the brunt of the damage.

Here's THE daily thread
Here's the link to yesterday's thread, which started with Russian murders, missiles on streets in Kharkiv and ended with the missile attack on Kyiv.

But there were also 'direct sanctions' taken by Ukraine on war criminals and military targets:

News is still coming in from Kyiv especially after the awful bombardment. Mayor of the city, @Vitaliy_Klychko has just issued an update saying 28 people have been injured, with 13 hospitalised

Although the city's had the air raid warning lifted, it's still affecting Kyiv region Image

Christmas Eve is another milestone as we mark the latest 100 days of war

Yes, it's Day 1400 of Ukraine's fight for its existence.
Coming up:
Zelenskyy accepts peace plan but are we really nearer peace?
A twist in Moscow's 2nd car bomb in 24 hours.
And all the news yet to happen
A very late start today - I apologise but it's Christmas time with things to do, places to go and also my body demanding enough sleep to survive!

So we start as usual with the throwback to yesterday for you to catch up, which included car bomb #2..

The seemingly random attack on police officers in Moscow last night, may have been a Ukraine targeted attack.

Two "traffic officers" died overnight on the same street where a Lt Gen was eliminated the day before.
Now it's reported the dead were in Ukraine and tortured civilians Image

This is the start of Tuesday's daily thread, with all the important news from, and relevant to, Ukraine in one handy place.

It's Day 1385 and I've still never missed a day of fact checking, analysing and reporting every aspect of the defence against Russia's illegal war.
Yesterday a lot of talking behind the scenes, but politicians were broadly tight-lipped on progress.

Russia did make more small gains on the frontline, but we also found a cat with burned whiskers + how Russian pilots' head-tennis went disastrously wrong
Pres Zelenskyy's whirlwind tour continues, arriving in Rome this morning to meet the Pope at Castle Gandolfo.

At Villa Barberini, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was welcomed by the vice-regent of the papal household, Augustinian Father Edward Daniang Daleng.

Day 1366 of the war in Europe is the start of two days of mourning in a small city in Ukraine which suffered over 160 killed and injured in a single Russia attack 24 hours ago.

As the war crimes mount, Trump approves a mad-hat simpleton's plan to end the war

Here's THE daily🧵
Here's the link for the start of Wednesday's🧵
I posted 65 stories - that equates to a post every 22 minutes throughout the entire 24 hours.

Psychologically a devastating day for Ukraine. Being murdered by Russia, being abandoned by the USA.

A reminder US officials are in Kyiv, due to meet Zelenskyy, when Ukraine's president knows he will have to tell the Americans to shove the surrender document up Witkoff's "White House pass"

Is Rubio undermining the WH plan?
It's certainly not realistic and without 🇷🇺concessions Image

Welcome to another daily thread covering all the important things happening in Ukraine right now, and therefore by (unwanted association) Russia too.

All things fact checked, analysed and explained.
The news you can rely on, every day, in one place.

It's Day 1361. I'm late!⏰
Well I had a lovely lie-in as, all things considered it was a relatively news-free morning

My "bitter enders" (those who make it through to the very end of the🧵) will know there was a big attack on Dnipro which kept me reporting late.
Missed it? click⬇️
One thing I've had to do is wade through Trump's interview on GB News. It's actually been worthwhile because it's a wonderful example I can use to train what NOT to do!

Main points being:
1'48" to ask a question is dreadful
Such simpering loses all credibility before you begin

The first few hours of Day 1360 of Russia's genocidal war started with Ukrainians in shelters. More innocent lives have been claimed by the Moscow horde.

The west unable or unwilling to stop the slaughter despite 1000s of war crimes.
We're not incapable, must not be unwilling.
One of the heaviest bombardments Kyiv has ever known dominated y'day's thread and the start of today's.

But Ukraine also continues to pick-off financial targets inside Russia

It all made for one of the longest🧵 so far - the least you can do is read it!

I am not starting in Kyiv though, because this Friday morning has already seen more murder and another clear terrorist attack by Russia.

A UAV smashed into the town centre of Chornomorsk, another Black Sea port just south of Odesa

2 dead, 7 injured
