Welcome to Wednesday's daily thread on #Russia's attack on #Ukraine.

It's Day 168 of the war, but all the buzz and chat is about what happened yesterday in #Crimea. Here's the link to yesterday's thread.

We are still no nearer knowing the real reason for the devastating blow to #Russia on #Crimea

#Ukraine again denies it's anything to do with them, but no-one believes the RU version of an "accident"

To get an idea of the force of the blasts, watch the last few seconds of this:
13 people are dead after shelling in #Dnipropetrovsk region this morning. 11 more civilians are injured.

12 died when around 40 grads hit the centre of #Maryanets near Nikopol. Two schools and more than 20 high rise apartment blocks were hit.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
It's inescapable to wonder if the shelling of residential areas will increase because of @amnesty's report.

Did the discredited NGO give Putin a war crimes pass?

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
Explosions in the #Russian city of #Yeysk today too.

As you can see it's the closest city to #Mariupol'. But it's a long way from any #Ukraine positions.

Looks like an oil terminal is on fire.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Russia has just admitted 9 planes were destroyed at the #Saki airfield in #Crimea.

That's up from zero yesterday 🤣

I still think it's a lot worse than that for the Terrorist state.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
#Russia's security forces have again raided the home of the Producer who protested against the war on prime time TV.

Marina Ovsyannikova has already been fined several times for "discrediting the army"

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Occupiers in #Kherson have just claimed "The Armed Forces of Ukraine again tried to shell the bridge across the Dnipro near #Kherson, no new damage"

Maybe dreaming again? #Ukraine has been hitting bases but not the bridge
Speaking of #Kherson - partisans are still active.

The Resistance in #Henichesk (RU: #Genichesk) has been active through the night.

#SlavaUkraini #KhersonIsUkraine #RussiansGoHome
#Russia has destroyed another residential building in #Vuhledar this morning. That's about 70km SW of #Donetsk city and near the frontline.

#StandWithUkraine️ #StopRussiaNOW
Britain's intel update is worth reading today.

There's a lot of recruitment desperately going on in #Russia as I've often written about.

But it "won't be decisive" according to London.

#Ukraine #PutinsWar
One of the few remaining honest reporting outfits in #Russia, @novaya_gazeta has been fined 350,000 rubles.

A court in Moscow ruled NG had "disseminated deliberately unreliable socially significant information under the guise of reliable reports"

#StopRussiaNow
The @washingtonpost joins the New York Times in saying #Ukraine WAS responsible for the attack on a Crimean airfield at Saky.

"The attack marks a sharp escalation and demonstrates the ability of UA forces to strike further behind Russian lines than previously thought."
Sorry about the lack of timely updates today - non stop tennis commentary is the reason!

It is a fairly quite day on the battlefield but that still death, destruction and many stories to catch up on.

#Ukraine's says it has downed a Russian attack jet:

facebook.com/NGUmainpage/po…
Today the first video has emerged of the damage #HIMARS caused to the Kakhovka Bridge in #Kherson.

Much focus has been on the Antonivskyi road route over the Dnipro, but this is almost as important by the Hydroelectric power plant.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Speaking of damage from #HIMARS - I have to wonder if they were really responsible for the immense destruction on #Russia's air base in #Crimea.

The amount of damage became clear today with new satellite photos giving us nice before/after comparisons.

#StopRussiaNOW
More explosions lighting up the night sky in occupied #Donetsk.

This us in Pyvzavod.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
Officials in Occupied #Donetsk say one person died and two were injured as a result of the shelling of #Pyvzavod.

The Russians also claim an ammonia pipeline was damaged and advise residents to stay indoors, seal apartments and breathe through gauze moistened with 5% mild acid.
Some significant financial news for #Ukraine today too.

Reuters reports $20 billion of foreign debt the country owes, has been frozen for two years.

With no payments now due on international bonds it means #Ukraine cannot default which would worsen the country's plight.
Supergroup @coldplay invited #Ukraine legend and @okeanelzy frontman @s_vakarchuk to join them on stage in Brussels.

Sviatoslav sang the OE hit "Obiymy" ("Hugs) with the British band.
Another act of sabotage in #Russia

A railway line has been damaged in #Kursk region. It's thought saboteurs tried to blow-up the Lgov-Sudzha line.

Just hours earlier in Kursk, someone tried to blow up a power line 20km from the Kursk nuclear power plant.

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.

Tuesday 19 November 2024.
I can't quite believe we reached 1,000 days.
#Ukraine is still free, refusing to buckle to the imperialist #Russia

I'm incredibly proud to have documented every single moment, no days off, no holiday, no sickness.

UkrainaOnline encapsulated 1000 days
If you like what I do, if you've never done it before, please consider buying me a coffee on this milestone day. It took a hell of a lot of work.

Thank you to my #TeamTim

Here's the link back to all Monday's news.
More heinous attacks. On its day of mourning, #Sumy was hit again just as the day ended, and #Odesa lost another ten residents.

Today is Day 999 of Europe's war

It's cold in the UK today. Imagine if you didn't have heat. Not just for one day, but maybe for most of the winter Now imagine it's 10 degrees colder

If you can do that you understand what people in #Ukraine feel, or fear.
Welcome to my daily🧵
Monday and Tuesday are days of mourning in #Sumy region after an horrific attack on an apartment block.

It was the last in a long line of murders of civilians by #Russia on Sunday.

I produced the longest thread for months (over 60 posts) - catch up here
Let me start today's news in #Sumy, because sadly the number of killed + injured after #Russia's strike have both increased.

An 11th person died during the night while 89 people required medical treatment. Medics, rescuers, psychologists and volunteers worked through the night.
