The 138th daily thread on #Russia's war of choice starts here.

Real signs in the last few days that #Ukraine has levelled the playing (combat) field with the arrival of long range artillery.

Even as I type rockets seem to be landing in Russian held territory. Read on...⬇️
Just 2 hours ago, at the end of yesterday's thread, I reported on explosions again in occupied #NovayaKakhovka where #Russia suffered heavy losses earlier on Sunday.

Now reports of more rockets landing in #Kherson. Yesterday evening #Ukraine pledged to regain land in the south.

Now a puzzle for you.. Just what is being transported on trains in huge quantities through #Russia?
Missiles/rockets? Logs? Rolled sheet metal? All suggested so far.

Great work @CarolynnePries1 to capture these from a webcam.
This is Uzlovaya, about 230km south of Moscow
2/2
Another load passed through #Uzlovaya just a couple of hours ago.

The Murmansk-Novorossiysk line goes through here. On its way south it virtually tracks the Ukraine border for a while before heading to Rostov and further south thereafter.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
This photo has been posted a few times on pro-Ukraine channels in the last few hours.

It's supposed to show Russian soldiers killed at the eastern front, perhaps near #Sloviansk. However the time stamp has been removed and I suspect it's old even if genuine.
Here's the latest design for cigarette packs in #Russia.

Well being in the Z or V units is also bad for your health!

#StandWithUkraine #SaveUkraine #StopRussia
News of another fantastic battle, where a brave Russian soldier single handedly took on an unarmed fence.

Despite the heroism of the Orc, the fence withstood everything and still bears the colours of #Ukraine🤣🤣
It's been noisy in #Kharkiv the last 30 minutes or so.
Three explosions reported by locals so far.

Crude (Russian) language from the locals in this recording

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
Looks like you guys solved the riddle. Thanks to all who wrote.
The cargo is apparently Railroad-ties or prefab railtrack-pieces for fast repairs.

A lot of sabotage across Russia and certainly the need to replace tracks in the Donbas.

President @ZelenskyyUa says yesterday's attack on #ChasivYar was a deliberate attack on civilians (and this another war crime).

He confirms the death toll is still 15, but will rise.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

No territorial advance for #Russia and soldiers not being given a break since the start of the invasion of #Ukraine.

That's today's Intelligence update from the UK

#StopRussia
First light brought evidence of the damage from the attack in #Kharkiv during the night.

No news of casualties yet

#StandWithUkraine
#Ukraine's General Staff released a video from liberated Ivanivka.

The village in #Kherson region was taken back from Russian invaders a week ago. As with all territories which suffered Russia's "peacekeepers", immense destruction.

#StandWithUkraine

Very little change to the numbers on #Ukraine's daily estimate of #Russia's losses.

It's not known if yesterday's rocket attacks on enemy positions are included, but doesn't look like it considering they claimed 100 deaths in one attack alone.

#StopRussia #PutinsWar
#Kharkiv is under attack again right now. MLRS apparently being fired in #Ukraine's second city.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Four missiles fired on #Odesa region this morning too.

Kirill Timoshenko, Deputy Head of #Odessa, says one rocket landed.
No further details yet.

#Ukraine #StopRussia
#Kharkiv authorities say three people died in this attack overnight.

Another 28 were injured in the Russian strikes on the apartment block.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopPutin #SaveUkraine

Meanwhile, this is the scene of #Russia's new attack this morning in the city of #Kharkiv.

#UkraineUnderAttaсk #StandWithUkraine
20 rockets were fired on #Sumy region this morning.

It's believed the MLRS attack did not cause any civilian casualties.

#UkraineUnderAttaсk #StandWithUkraine
Update from #Odesa

Although officials initially said they thought only one missile landed in the region, two columns of smoke can be seen.

Under martial law restrictions photos have to be edited until location can be revealed.

#Odessa #SaveUkraine
#Kherson's Resistance movement continues to get the message across. Patriots posting these in the occupied territory now:

"Kherson - 'cross out' Rashism. The Ukrainian night is already near."
It's exactly 8 years since the very first missile attack by #Russia in #Ukraine.

It came on 11 July 2014 in #Zelenopillya (RU: #Zelenopolye) in #Luhansk oblast.

#Ukraine's government released this video to get the message across - #Russia has been the aggressor for 8 years.
#Ukraine's Emergency Services published a video of their work, following the missile attack on a residential building in #Kharkiv overnight which killed 3 and injured over 20.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
TV presenters in #Ukraine broadcasting live from the ruins of another Russian missile strike.

They spoke to Pavlo Kirilenko, Head of #Donetsk. He confirmed the death toll in #ChasivYar has climbed to 20, with 8 injured. During the night one man was rescued alive from the rubble.
First video clip received from the site of y'day's attack by #Ukraine on Russians in Tavriysk, #Kherson

Serhiy Khlan' a city councillor before the war, claims many soldiers/equipment were destroyed.

But this pro-Ukraine Telegram channel says locals tell them the place was empty
Russia has shelled almost all towns on the #Donetsk frontline today.

#Toretsk was attacked twice and numerous other towns and villages were also hit. Among them, #Bakhmut where the local sports ground was badly damaged.

There are casualties, with many civilian buildings hit.
Not a surprise! Another subtle hint at the Kremlin's real intent.

Conquer all of #Ukraine and if not possible grab and ruin as much as possible, including people.

We must ALL #StandWithUkraine️

I want to let you know about the UK premiere of what I'm told is a wonderful new film set in 1920s Soviet #Ukraine.

It's showing at the @Iwilltell festival in London on Saturday. I'll be there!

#Ukraine's richest man, Rinat Akhmetov, has shocked the nation with his decision to give away his media empire.

SCM/Media Group UA will give up TV channels Ukraine, Ukraine24, NLO TV, multimedia "Today", "News Group Ukraine" and the football channels

scm.com.ua/news/zayava-ri…
2/2
Akhmetov sites a new anti-oligarch law. But his move is surprising as other oligarchs have handed over ownership to work collectives for example

During the war #Ukraine has just one broadcast on all channels

Akhmetov also owns many mines + plants in now occupied territory
#Ukraine repelled another attempted Russian offensive in the #Donbas, according to UA General Staff

The battle was in Maryinka, detailed in the evening report here, where it's also claimed Ukraine still controls territory in #Luhansk

#StandWithUkraine

facebook.com/GeneralStaff.u…
A grim day in #ChasivYar in #Donetsk where the death toll just keeps on climbing after yesterday's horrific attack on apartments.

30 bodies have now been dragged from the 170 tonnes of rubble removed so far. The search is continuing.

Nine wounded are being treated in hospital
1/2
Extraordinary developments reported in #Kazakhstan where it appears President Tokayev has sided with #Ukraine against #Russia.

Previously he'd said he does not recognise the so called DPR/LPR. As if that wasn't bad enough for Putin, his threats didn't work either ..
2/2

#Kazakhstan suggests it can help the EU to replace Russian oil.

Russia bans oil exports from KAZ.

Tokayev says the oil will bypass Russia cutting them out of any cut whatsoever.

Russia rescinds the export ban!
A humiliating capitulation.
Well played Kazakhstan!
Just in case #Russia thought the day couldn't get worse..

Eyewitnesses report a massive power outage in 6 districts of the Moscow region.

Thousands of people were left powerless Yegoryevsky, Orekhovo-Zuevsky, Sergiev Posad, Solnechnogorsk, Istrinsky and Ruzsky districts.
#NovayaKakhovka - huge explosion reported in the occupied town.

I cannot verify this and it's the only photo or video I can find so far. The time stamp is less than an hour ago.
Quite a lot of chat about loud bangs in the town in #Kherson region.

#StandWithUkraine
The same channel which published the video in the last tweet also has a photo of the Russian barracks in #Kherson which was reportedly hit yesterday.

Earlier some posters claimed it was an empty building, but these guys confirm #Ukraine reports that 100 troops may have died here
The #Ukraine hit on an ammo store in #NovayaKakhovka is confirmed. There are other videos out there.

The guys filming this in occupied #Kherson region were a little too close for comfort.

#SlavaUkraini #StandWithUkraine
Strange that #Russia's officials in stolen #Crimea admit one of their soldiers was beaten by 3 attackers for wearing a "Z" on his uniform.

Usually they make up stories to foster hatred of #Ukraine, but this could backfire, emboldening other saboteurs and raising fear in Crimea.
"Do svidanya" to three more Commanders of Orcs.

Three more high ranking Russians have been "de-nazified" the #Ukraine army reported.

facebook.com/AFUStratCom/po…
Another three bodies found under the rubble in #ChasivYar, including of a child.

33 people now died in this Russian attack, including the youngster, thought to be 9 years old.

#Russia is already admitting the attack in occupied #NovayaKakhovka.

The first thing they say is that #Ukraine did not hit the hydroelectric power station.

Of course Russia denies it was an ammo dump, saying "warehouses with saltpeter exploded"🤥
2/2

#Russia now trying to maximise propaganda goes along the "victims" path. They even claim the hospital is damaged, which seems unlikely.

Quite possible there may have been some injuries in the secondary explosions as ammo was set off.

This reportedly inside a home in NK
A little "action" it seems near #Kramatorsk too.

This was spotted, but almost impossible to judge how far away rockets are from the #Ukraine held city.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Credible reports that at the time of this evening's missile hitting #NovayaKakhovka, there were around 40 fuel tankers at the military base.

Separate sources also claim there were over 200 rockets for MLRSs.

Today sees the completion of 3 years of full scale war unleashed by #Russia on #Ukraine.

As signs point to an end to this war relatively soon, the ONLY question which should be asked is: are you happy to reward war-criminal terrorists with land?

Here's THE daily thread:
It's Day 1096 of #Russia 's war.

If you missed anything yesterday, catch up on Saturday's news here:

The #UK is in full focus today.
As @Keir_Starmer prepares to fly to Washington, new sanctions will be unveiled tomorrow.

Foreign Sec @DavidLammy says it will be "the largest package of sanctions against #Russia since the early days of the war eroding its military machine."

Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.

Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.

On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:

100% record in air defence overnight, according to #Ukraine.

Of 83 attack drones fired by #Russia, 61 were shot down by #Ukraine with the other 22 decoys.

I did report a fire in #Sumy last night, but that and damage in #Kharkiv #Poltava + #Kirovohrad were from falling debris. Image

Good morning world, on Day 1076 of #Russia's genocidal war on #Ukraine

It's now 14 days since Trump's inauguration & no peace deal, but his "peace envoy" Kellogg is expected to visit both aggressor and defender soon.

Here's Monday's daily thread. All you need to be in the know
Daily🧵views were slightly up over the weekend, which is heartening as it's a critical time.

#Ukraine is starting to hurt #Russia logistically, while Putin responds by killing civilians, confident he'll soon get a Trump-pass.

Read Sunday's news here:
While #Ukraine hurt #Russia infrastructure during the night (covered at the end of last night's thread), the terrorist state still has success with its own drone attacks.

More than 11% got through 🇺🇦defences overnight, with 38 of 71 UAVs being stopped and 25 likely decoys. Image

Sunday 19 January is Day 1061 of #Russia's all-out war in #Ukraine. We are also just 2 weeks away from the 4,000th day since #Moscow's initial invasion with the start of its illegal takeover of #Crimea

Welcome to another daily thread with all the news you need in one place 💙💛
Thankfully a quieter start to Sunday than yesterday, which means I get a later start today.

Saturday was all about #Russia's double ballistic attack which brought death to 2 #Ukraine cities.
Catch up on that and all yesterday's stories here⬇️

#Russia's overnight attack was less intense, but still, two attack drones slipped through the net according to #Ukraine's air defence figures.

43 of 61 UAVs were destroyed, with 15 decoy/simulation drones posing no threat and one still flying this morning. Image

Hello on Day 1054 of #Russia's terrorist campaign in #Ukraine.

I've been working for a while today, tidying up loose ends, but a late start to the daily thread - the only feed you need for all the important news and analysis.

So a lot to catch up on, let's go again!
Normally I pin the first post of the thread on my profile page, but for another 24 hours the pinned item is about the auction for a truly unique item - please check it out

So, it's even more important I post a link back to yesterday's thread. Here we are
#Ukraine's air defence team worked very efficiently last night and this morning.

#Russia launched 94 drones from four directions.
60 were shot down and 34 more 'simulators' or others were also stopped.

Some houses in #Kharkiv #Sumy and #Poltava regions were damaged by debris. Image

Christmas Day 2024. Day 1036 of the war inflicted on #Ukraine. The third Christmas for Ukrainian people to suffer. Empty chairs at the dinner table, that will never be filled again. Others at the frontline fighting for their lives and the life of the country.

It's the daily🧵
So Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah to those celebrating.

A special shout out too, to those working this special day. Also working today, emergency workers in #Ukraine after another massive missile attack

Before that, catch up on yesterday's news here
Thank you to all those who've sent me Christmas messages and bought me coffee - I will round up the sponsors' roll of honour later today.

But first the grim, but expected, news of #Russia's missile attack carried out this Christmas morning.
