The 137th day of #PutinsWar is underway and already more rockets and missiles are flying.

This is the start of Sunday's thread with all the news throughout the day from #Ukraine and beyond, as #Russia continues its destructive invasion of its neighbour.
#Luhansk region is where we start today, with news of a likely #Ukraine attack.

This is #Alchevsk, about 25km west of #Lugansk city

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Here's another video from #Alchevsk.
Things are really hotting (and lighting) up in the occupied town in #Luhansk.

#Lugansk #Donbas #Donbass #Ukraine #SaveUkraine
#Russia has also begun the new day with firing on #Ukraine positions.

The invaders continue their usual tactics along the frontline. Smashing everything in each town and village with artillery and missiles before advancing.
#Bakhmut is on the frontline now
#Sloviansk (RU: #Slavyansk) is also in #Russia's sights.

#Ukraine has defended this city stubbornly since freeing it from Russian control 8 years ago.

But more rockets are flying into Sloviansk tonight

#SaveUkraine #StandWithUkraine
Making a difference. Should be a good match up against #Russia's "new" 1950s tractor pullers!

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

The Russian attack near #Bakhmut overnight has killed six people, but there are fears many more may have died. 34 people are still buried under the rubble in #ChasivYar, the youngest just 9yo

Emergency Service have already dismantled 70 tons of debris

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#France is about to end Russian gas supplies. It could even happen today. C'est bien!

#Russia killed a 20 year old woman during missile attacks in #Kharkiv oblast.

She died when shelling in the village of Pechenyhi, #Chuhuev district, caused a fire.

Meanwhile a school was destroyed in Slobid, NE of #Kharkiv and a children's sanatorium was damaged in Osnovyansk.
Anti war group Bi-2 received a torrent of booing when performing at the Russian Super up match yesterday.

However it didn't help that the lead singer wore a Spartak scarf when playing in Zenit's home stadium, and Spartak got thrashed!

Four more bodies have been pulled out of the rubble in #Bakhmut area of #Ukraine

The death toll now stands at 10.

All sorts of stories emerging from #Kherson.

This train of thought is that #Ukraine has hit a Russian army base.

But other reports say #Russia's military were stood around looking at their watches and had left the building, knowing RU missiles were due

A little earlier this video of the city appeared on chat sites and news channels in occupied #Kherson.

Y'day I reported about the big strike at occupied #NovoayaKakhovka
A top Ukraine official says 100 Russian soldiers died & confirms 11 more ammo dumps have been hit in #Mariupol #Alchevsk #Shakhtersk #Kirovsky #Khartsyzsk #Chistyakovo, #Ilovaisk+ #Donetsk

#Ukraine says it shot down a Russian helicopter above #Horlivka (RU #Gorlovka)

The incident happened yesterday, but the exact model of the chopper has yet to be provided.
So far. no visual proof of this hit

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
The death toll at #ChasivYar is now up to 15.
#Ukraine has now released this video of the scene of #Russia's missile attack.

#Kherson

#Ukraine's leaders are quite confident they have dealt a big blow to the Russian forces in the occupied city.

Kherson official Serhiy Khlan writes of "ourgith panic" with “Russians are screaming under the rubble.”

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia #SaveUkraine
It's reported from #Russia that a bus full of army conscripts was involved in a deadly accident in #Arkhangelsk region.

The coach was hit by a truck and a tanker carrying gas

The driver of the truck died on the spot, others have "injuries of varying severity."
#Russia claims the missiles launched on #Kostiantynivka (RU: #Konstantinovka) destroyed two hangers full of US M777 Howitzers.

No proof. Looks rather hopeful from their point of view. An attempt to drown out bad news from #Kherson and elsewhere.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Germany media outlet @Welt has been blocked in #Russia.
Another video from #Kherson, another explosion.
"Smoke is everywhere, it's impossible to breathe"

#StopRussia #SlavaUkraini
#Donetsk #Donbas

Explosions now near the car-market in Donetsk.
This is in the Kuibyshevskyi district to the west of the occupied city.

#StandWithUkraine #StopPutinNOW
A pro-#Ukraine Telegram channel in #Kherson says it's caught out #Russia lying again.

Kremlin channels reported a hospital being hit in #Donetsk, but they've reportedly found the same photos being used 5 years ago.
Here's the aftermath of the shelling of the "car market" in #Donetsk a little earlier.

#StandWithUkraine #StopPutinNOW #Donbas
For more than a month, #Germany has been blocking €9m of aid to #Ukraine, an Italian newspaper reports.

They hint this may be a reason why @ZelenskyyUa yesterday removed the ambassador to Germany.

#Russia continues its attempt to destroy everything and everyone before the ground offensive.

Tow more towns bearing the brunt right now on the eastern front.

First #Soledar where there are the first claims of Russian troops entering the town (I doubt this yet)

#StopRussia
... and more shells landing in #Bakhmut in the last hour.

This is another frontline town right now and one #Russia will be fairly confident of capturing within a week.
The authoritarian regime in #Moscow sinks to new depths.

@Sota_Vision reveals an activist from Nizhny Novgorod was fined for using quote marks.

Aleksey Podnebesny complained money was being spent on "special operation" and not solving problems like no hot water in hostels.
In #Kharkiv region, @GoncharenkoUa reports on his Telegram channel that another collaborator has met a messy end.

He claims Yevgeny Yunakov, Russia's appointed "Head" of Veliky Burluk, was blown up in his car.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Ukraine has a million ready to recapture the south from Russian occupiers.

Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov told The Times that President Zelenskyy had ordered the military to take back coastal areas vital to the economy.

Invaders have, for a second time, removed and broken a monument to a #Ukraine war hero.

Opera singer Vasyl Slipak died on the frontline in 2016
The memorial was first desecrated on 7 March, but restored.

Now hooligans have done it again; this posted on the official Donetsk site
First official response from the pretend "government" in #Donetsk to a military base being hit there today by #Ukraine's long range artillery.

Denis Pushilin admits to only 3 deaths of "volunteer activists" and 11 injuries.
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
In occupied #Luhansk, air raid sirens, sounds of explosions and air defence missiles being launched.
In neighbouring #Donetsk oblast, a local claims this is #Ukraine using phosphorous munitions.

No location; the time stamp is this evening.
Such weapons are not strictly outlawed if not used on civilians, e.g. for creating a smokescreen or highlighting territory.
#Horlivka - occupied #Donetsk region

A whole load of rockets fired towards #Ukraine, caught on camera by a local.

#StandWithUkraine
Earlier today #Ukraine carried out strikes on #NovayaKakhovka in occupied #Kherson region.

Tonight more sounds in the town - all guesswork as to whether incoming or outgoing.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
Unconfirmed reports on local Russian chat sites in #Belgorod that there are explosions near the airport.

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
