Today's UK briefing documents the slow down in drone use by #Russia.
However large freight flights have recently been landing in Moscow from Tehran, so I'm fairly sure UAV stocks will be resupplied by now and on their way to #Ukraine.
The residents in the decimated satellite towns north of #Kyiv are taking things into their own hands as life, and normality, starts to return to the likes of #Borodianka#Bucha#Irpin
The occupied town of #Enerhodar is apparently without any power after what #Russia has described as "#Ukraine shells damaging the power lines" around the nuclear power plant.
Exactly as #Ukraine and some independent observers predicted for the past two weeks.
It's believed everyone escaped unharmed from this morning's attack on #Kharkiv.
Two rockets smashed into the city centre. One hit a 5-story apartment block, completely destroying three floors.
The second rocket hit the courtyard of a council building.
The group claiming sabotage of #Russia's railways reports that The Kremlin is having to reduce freight on the rails.
There's no way to verify the information (translation of the post below), but it is feasible that sanctions have led to an inability to repair many problems.
⚡️Breaking⚡️
Looks like the smoke in #Berdyansk may have been an attack on the Russian installed "Head" of the city.
Many locals saying his car was blown up.
A better video here - but is that small arms fire or other small explosions? Could be ammo being set off.
1/2 Extraordinary claims on a TV channel in #Dnipro
DN1 shows what's said to be a video of a zoom meeting on Day 3 of the war. In it Mayor of Dnipro, Boris Filatov, says his sources "from the other side" assure him Dnipro won't be bombed.
2/2
The claims come from a political journalist who posted it on Facebook (translation below)
#Dnipro Mayor Filatov is said to have been "waiting for the Georgia scenario" - #Ukraine would have to relinquish territory as Georgia did in the 2008 war.
Deep Fake? or Deep trouble?
⚡️Breaking⚡️
#Ukraine's General Staff says two more villages have been liberated.
They are #Novovoznesens'ke in #Kherson region, a full 5 miles/8km south of Vysokopillya which was re-captured yesterday
1/2 As we near the end of another day in #Ukraine, it's been perhaps the most encouraging of all 195 so far.
At least some territory has been reclaimed in #Kharkiv, #Kherson, #Donetsk AND even #Luhansk, according to exiled Governor Serhiy Haidai who says they have a "foothold"
2/2 In addition, big attacks on more Russian bases in most regions, including in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.
It was in the south of that region which saw a significant strike by #Ukraine patriots, with the Russian Head of ZP assassinated in a car bomb.
Ihor Terekhov confirmed "So far, we know about arrivals in Nemyshlyansk district. According to preliminary information, several cars and an industrial building are burning there."
Welcome to my daily thread, covering all things #Ukraine every single day since even before the first day of Russia's full invasion.
This is Day 1110 of Putin's long promised land grab - he's also pledged to reunite the rest of the USSR.
More atrocities overnight, let's begin:
For those loving people who urge me to get more sleep, you will be pleased to know there was no alarm this morning; I am refreshed and ready to tackle JD TRussia again.
A busy Friday ended with news of the awful attack in free Donetsk, catch up here:
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!
