Welcome to Day 143 of #PutinsWar.
This daily thread aims to tell you everything you need to know about developments of #Russia's illegal invasion of #Ukraine and the heroic defence to keep 🇺🇦 free.

DMs open for tip offs.. working as fast as I can!

#StandWithUkraine
Updates may be a little slower/less frequent today as I am driving to London for UK premiére of #Ukraine film #SlovoHouse in Leicester Sq

About artists suppressed under Stalin, it's very relevant now & headlines the closing gala at the @iwilltell festival
1/2
Tomorrow will be 8 years to the day since #Russia blasted passenger jet #MH17 out of the sky. 300 innocents died from numerous countries inc UK, but mainly Dutch; families going on holiday

The Kremlin came up with repeated versions of "what happened" each new story proving..
2/2
the previous version was a lie. All #Russia's versions of what happened to #MH17 were callous lies to deflect the fact it murdered 300

Certainly similarities this week in #Vinnytsia where over 20 civilians died, Russia so far came up with 3 versions

Y'day evening was horrendous with multiple #Ukraine cities attacked.
The worst was in #Dnipro - casualty figures have not been updated from last night's 3 dead, 15 injured.
A lot of photos/videos on y'day's thread, plus other attacks inc here #Kramatorsk

This morning, already a missile has hit #Odesa on #Ukraine's south coast.

Regional Head Serhiy Bratchuk says a warehouse was hit leading to this fire, but no casualties as everyone was inside air raid shelters.

#Odessa #StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Another town to be hit today is #Nikopol in south of #Ukraine, on the banks of the Dnipro/Dnieper river.

Kyiv says it has proof #Russia strikes Nikopol with rocket systems at the NUCLEAR POWER PLANT in #Enerhodar.

Two injured after grads hit 12 five-storey buildings and schools
The UK Intel report outlines how hard it is for #Russia to make further advances against a predominantly straight front line for the most at risk areas in #Donbas.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
Photo journalists from @suspilne_news have been back to the residential street in #Dnipro which was hit by a missile from #Russia yesterday evening.

It's thought two of the three who died were in vehicles
Still on the attack in #Dnipro some remarkable footage this morning showing how close the city came to avoiding the death and destruction, and how difficult it is to intercept #Russia's missiles.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
#Kharkiv region was another place to come under fire from #Russia last night, although it happens almost every night.

Here in #Chuhuiv (RU: #Chuguev), three people died and three more were hospitalised.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
As reported earlier in the thread, #Odesa came under fire this morning - I've now found a video taken shortly after the subsequent fires broke out.

#Odessa #StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Vinnytsia was hit a couple of days ago, #Russia responsible for 23 deaths.

A new video shows the devastation in the centre of the mid-west city.

In occupied #Donetsk they also report rocket attacks and at least one death.

This strike on an apartment block in the Petrovsky district of the city

#Donbas #Donbass #StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A bus was also damaged in #Donetsk in the same strike on the Petrovskyi area of the city.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
In the free part of #Ukraine 8 more civilians died in the last 24 hours, as detailed in this map from the #Kyiv government.

Numbers from occupied areas are not known. Similarly, the totals given on this graphic don't include the likely 10s of thousands of victims in #Mariupol
Also in the free part of #Donetsk, regional Head, Pavel Kirilenko published these photos from #Kostiantynivka (RU: #Konstantinovka)

He says “This morning, the occupiers destroyed houses in the private sector with rockets, attacked industrial facilities”

#StopRussia
They must be getting short of Cannon fodder... Oops I mean soldiers.

#Belarus #Russia #RussiaKillsCivilians

Thx @VelvetBlade for spotting this.

"Leave #Sumy" - that's the plea from mayor Oleksandr Lysenko.

"Avoid large gatherings of people and do not ignore the air alert. If there is an opportunity to leave the city, do it. Today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow you should pay a lot of attention to your safety."
A large column of Russian equipment was spotted in #Mariupol, heading towards #Zaporizhzhia.

Petro Andryushchenko, an adviser to the city, reported the movement of 100 units of military equipment.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
A 24th person has died as a result of the #Vinnytsia attack.

All rubble has now been cleared from the site of the explosion. Three people were rescued alive from the wreckage today. One person remains unaccounted for.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
I try to report both sides, but cut the crap and obvious fakes. To give you an idea of what #Russia is claiming, they say in the last 2 days they've killed 600 #Ukraine troops in the battle for #Seversk alone. Plus another 200 in #Mykolaiv/#Nikolaev

Fanciful figures!
A rocket has landed in #Cherkasy region of central #Ukraine.

No further details yet.
#Cherkassy #SaveUkraine #StopRussia
Occupied #Donetsk is still being struck, presumably by #Ukraine here. The colour of the smoke means a high probability of a military target.

This is in the Leninskyi part of the city, which has avoided moat of the missiles so far.

#SlavaUkraini #StandWithUkraine️
#Russia says the attack on #Dnipro last night destroyed "workshops for the production of components and the repair of "Tochka-U" and MLRS"

Seems they forgot to mention the missile that landed in a street killing civilians. Strange that!

#RussiaIsATerroristState
The UK premiere of "Slovo House" not far away. Red carpet being rolled out soon.
I'm in Leicester Square #London for the event at the @Iwilltell film festival and Q&A. We are filming for Ukraine news channels and hopefully a future documentary about the film

#StandWithUkraine️
#SlovoHouse, the award winning Ukrainian film is getting its British premiere right now. The last night of the @Iwilltell film festival in London is the "Peace Gala"
Director of #SlovoHouse Taras Tomenko says "this film was made before the full invasion, as a warning of what happened 100 years ago and may happen again, and it did happen again."

#StopRussia
The former Head of #Ukraine's Security Service in #Crimea has been arrested.

No details on charges or where he was detained, but it's clear Oleh Kilinich is considered a traitor.

The war in Europe continues. This is Day 1445 of Russia's attempt to erase Ukraine from the map & destroy its language and culture.

The genocide continues as I type, with a massive missile attack underway.

For all the news as it happens, keep checking back. This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday started with a supposed assassination attempt on another very senior Russian soldier.

A load of other great stories too, including the start of the overnight attack on Ukraine's remaining energy facilities. Catch up on what you missed here:

Having seen around 200 attack drones flying at the height of Russia's attack tonight, there are now around half that.

Day 1444 of Russia's merciless war has begun with the invaders losing another Lieutenant General - has Ukraine's special services struck again?

Detail on all the stories, all day, every day in my daily thread. Let's Go!
Thursday's thread included the release of a relatively small number of POWs - but finally some Azov fighters were freed.

And double delight for Ukraine tennis fans, to offset a little of the pain of more Russian attacks.
If you missed anything, click⬇️

So, Russia's reporting (which doesn't necessarily make it true) that one of the most senior Generals has been shot.

Lt Gen Vladimir Alekseev is said to be alive and in hospital after the attack in Moscow.

What makes me a little suspicious is there are no photos from the scene. Image

It's Monday, the second day of the 2nd month.
Day 1440 of Russia's illegal full invasion of its sovereign neighbour.

As we approach another round of "peace talks", Russia seems to be preparing by committing an ever growing number of sickening war crimes.

This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday was one of those days when I was repeatedly sickened by the actions of the monsters from Moscow.

The "energy truce" broken by attacking a bus of civilian miners heading to work. A medical building inc. a maternity unit hit, and more
Review here
Monday is a day of mourning in Dnipropetrovsk region following the deliberate targeting of a bus in the small town of Ternivka, near Pavlohrad.

16 people were killed. Another 14 are in hospital, seven of whom are in a serious condition.

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.
