🇺🇦🇷🇺WAR: Day 171 - my daily thread.

#Russia's war crimes continue; none was possible without the first - Putin's decision to invade a peaceful neighbour.

A lot of late news from #Ukraine in yesterday's thread - if you missed it, click and scroll⬇️

Britain's daily update points out the vulnerability of Russia's invaders west of the Dnipro river in occupied #Kherson region.

In fact 5 bridges in the region are now unusable despite frantic ongoing repair efforts.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Ukraine's South Division stated in its morning update the bridge near the Kakhovka Hydroelectric plant was the latest hit.
Some locals report this bridge is still being used but it's probably not safe for heavy vehicles.
There are more explosions reported now in #Lyubimivka
1/2
Not much movement lately on the eastern front with #Russia still struggling to make ground against #Ukraine's defences.

The invaders remain on the outskirts of #Bakhmut but by their own admission they are firebombing everything, even graveyards in the city in #Donetsk region
2/2

#Russia's Defence update says they "hit Chasovoy Yar, Pereezdny, Sporne, Yakovlevka and Vershiny in #Artemovsk (Ukr: #Bakhmut) direction."

They also carried out airstrikes on #Ukraine's Forces in Soledar, Zaitsevo and Vesela Dolina.

Another 200 of #Putin's cannon fodder "relieved of duty" and De-Nazified.

*Figures estimated by #Ukraine
Last night fresh Russian attacks began on a few #Ukraine cities

In #Kharkiv a college and "communications infrastructure" were hit by rockets landing in the Nemyshlyanskyi & Slobidskyi districts.

Countless more windows blown out too - take a look in this neighbourhood

#Kharkov
#Ukraine's Air Defence claims it's downed another of #Russia's Su-25 jets.

The United Forces Group, operating in the east, says it's also destroyed another 4 drones in the last 24 hours. They released these photos, which I cannot verify.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
A prisoner swap deal between #Russia and the #USA seems a little closer today.
It's likely to involve basketball star Brittney Griner, former marine Paul Whelan and illegal arms-dealer Viktor Bout.

It's one reason why the U.S. will not yet officially say #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Russia says people needed hospital treatment after missiles hit the market area of #Horlivka last night.

There is a video of two elderly patients being helped from an ambulance and the occupiers also released these photos, where the damage looks minimal.

#StandWithUkraine
Satellite images published by @Maxar from the Zyabrovka airfield in #Belarus seem to confirm there likely was a (serious) engine problem and single explosion. Either that or sabotage/suicide.

A T-72 tank was blown up with at least one death.

#StopRussia
Numerous artillery strikes in #Ukraine's northern oblasts of #Sumy and #Chernihiv.
Both regions were occupied in the early days of the war, five months ago.

Photos show latest damage to the villages of Senkivka + Gremyach (Chernihiv) and Basivka + Kindrativka (Sumy)

#StopRussia
One of #Russia's rockets, fired from #Belgorod region, hit a highway in #Kharkiv.

#Kharkov #RussiaIsATerrorristState #SaveUkraine
#Russia's Defence Ministry says #Pisky (RU: #Pesky) is completely occupied.

Previously it was repeatedly claimed by occupiers of #Donetsk as well as Chechen and other divisions. But this is the first time Moscow has definitively announced the total capture.
#Russia's Defence briefing also claims they've destroyed another #HIMARS system along with "up to 60 missiles"

Another two #Ukraine Mi-24 helicopters were also supposedly shot down in #Mykolaiv region.

Obviously nothing from any🇷🇺 briefing is verified
Today I've had two more contacts confirm the info that #Russia's occupiers are stealing cars in #Ukraine and trying to take them initially to Russia then beyond.

As one wrote "they are stealing everything possible, probably in preparation of leaving"

#Russia has a history of targeting #Odesa on Saturdays. Today #Ukraine's air defences have taken out a drone.

The invaders have not hit the southern port since commercial ships started being allowed to leave ports in #Odessa oblast.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
Russian paratrooper reveals how he had NO idea he was invading #Ukraine as war began.

A series of explosions in occupied #Kherson oblast.

The biggest is reported to be in #Chaplynka, just 10 miles from the border with #Crimea.

On social media they also write about rockets landing at Chkalov, Novotroitskoye, Nizhnie Serogozakh and Velika Blagoveshchenka.
Unconfirmed reports of a big strike on occupiers in #Melitopol

Locals say the 'Military Committee' building has been hit. Explosions heard a long way off.

Previously these sources proved reliable. Don't know if it's a missile or partisans, but sounds too big for the Resistance.
Claim/counterclaim in #Melitopol so far - we await photos & proof

Meanwhile Vitaliy Kim, Head of #Mykolaiv says #Russia's entire command retreated east of river Dnipro in #Kherson, leaving cannon fodder behind

Today's strikes in Kherson region are up to 140km from the frontline
Fire growing in strength in #Donetsk.

This is the Leninskyi district of the occupied city and presumably follows an air strike.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Three people were wounded in #Kharkiv overnight. It's now known one of those is a child in a serious condition.

Here's a new video of the destruction by one of the college's in the region.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
Just out for a quiet day's fishing in #Chuhuiv in #Kharkiv oblast.

The this happened... "my hands are trembling, that's the end of fishing"

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussiaNOW
Yesterday it was a Red Army soldier in #Chernivtsi, today it's Maksim Gorky in #Kropyvnytskyi (RU: #Kirovograd) region of #Ukraine.

The decision to dismantle the bust of the Russian writer was taken by #Oleksandriya council, who will place it in safe storage.

#StandWithUkraine
Another big explosion in #NovayaKakhovka this evening.

Busy day in #Kherson oblast for the #HIMARS, which of course have all been destroyed twice by #Russia!

#StopRussia
Another unverified report of sabotage inside occupied #Ukraine

Ex-Mayoral adviser to #Mariupol, Petro Andryushchenko says the whole city heard the explosion at a scrap metal place.
"We punish the greed of the occupiers with the ingenuity of the Mariupol resistance."
Still no news on what #Ukraine's rockets hit in #NovayaKakhovka but it burned well.

Occupiers in #Kherson are feeling distinctly uneasy this evening.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Montenegro has declared #Russias ambassador to the country as "persona non grata"

He has 7 days to leave the country.
Montenegro says Vladislav Maslenikov was carrying out activities in contravention of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Communications

The run of days without an attack on #Mykolaiv ended today.

The southern #Ukraine city was shelled twice in a matter of hours this afternoon and evening.

it's known at least one person was badly injured.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState

There's also a short video from #Mykolaiv shot after the second attack tonight.

A rocket exploded next to a residential building according to the mayor of the city

#Nikolaev #Ukraine #StandWithUkraine
#StopRussia
Just a senior "church" member breaking the Geneva Convention, sanctioning war crimes

Bishop Leonid Gorbachev of Russia's Orthodox Church, posted a video humiliating #Ukraine prisoners of war - forcing them to sing, stood on a table in front of 🇷🇺 flag

Screenshot: I hid the I.D.
New explosions in #Kherson tonight.

First indicators are that #Russia's air defences are finally working. #Ukraine may have been targeting the Antonivskyi Bridge again.

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
An interesting view in the centre of #Donetsk tonight.

Two rockets are said to have landed in the occupied city. Part of the Donetsk National University is said to be damaged.

#StopRussia
Two rockets have hit #Kharkiv in the last few minutes.

Many in the city report a loss of electricity after the strikes.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
Latest chatter in #Kherson is that the #Ukraine missiles have have hit the bridge after all.

Some locals suggesting there may have been as many as FOUR hits on the left bank of the #Antonivskyi road bridge.

Until we get photos from #Kherson's Antonivskyi Bridge, let's see how the newly installed "radar reflectors" are doing.

Here's a still from a news report on Russian TV earlier from the Kakhovka bridge near the Hydroelectric power plant where the security gadgets are 💩🤣🤣

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

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.
