The fact #Ukraine's Presidential Adviser Oleskiy Arestovych openly trolled #Russia almost immediately as the drama unfolded in #Crime and #Belgorod, increases the likelihood this was a coordinated multiple-strike by Kyiv.
#Kharkiv is under attack right now.
It's virtually a nightly occurrence. The north east city has been the subject of the heaviest attacks in recent weeks.
He's right. More fossil fuels bought from #Russia means more cash for The Kremlin's war. More destruction, more death and even worse for the environment.
After some of his recent statements and actions, I'd advise President Tokaev to avoid cups of tea and not stand near any windows.
He is meting Putin in Sochi - let's see if he still says the same after Kremlin pressure.
More explosions reported on social media by locals in #NovaKakhovka in the last few minutes, but could be supersonic aircraft.
Recently #Ukraine has attacked the bridges by the #Kakhovka hydroelectric plant
Speaking in #Odesa, Mr Guterres reacting to rumours #Russia was may cut the power from Ukraine's grid said "This principle must be fully respected."
"Darwin awards" new candidate.
Some clever Russian soldiers messed around with a drone, filming their camp...
But forgot to wipe the memory card, lost control of the drone, Ukraine captured it and the memory card showing them where in #Mykolaiv region the enemy was!
#Russia's state news agency released details of Putin's conversation with the French President, with The Kremlin taking the opportunity to give the Russian version of what's happening at the nuclear plant.
This #Ukraine news organisation reckons Putin sent Erdogan to L'viv to try to get a ceasefire.
The Turkish and Russian Presidents met recently in Asia before Erdogan headed to Ukraine. It's thought #Russia wants a break "to restore combat capability"
Occupiers in #Mariupol are finally getting around to demolishing some of the buildings they ruined.
It's very likely hundreds, maybe thousands of bodies, were never humanely recovered. Easy to hide the war crimes with no-one watching you. #RussiansGoHome#StandWithUkraine
A rare glimpse of some of the thousands of wounded Russians heading home from #Ukraine.
They're the lucky ones, escaping with their lives intact in this senseless and illegal war launched by #Russia.
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:
1/2 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:
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.
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⬇️
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
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
