This is Thursday's thread with news, views, analysis on #Russia's unprovoked war in #Ukraine, updated throughout the day.

Day 204 starts with a recap of the main story which broke very late last night:
🇺🇦President Zelenskyy is ok despite a car crash

If you missed that, or just want a recap of Wednesday's news from #Ukraine and beyond, then just click here and scroll at your leisure!

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

The other big story was #Russia's deliberate bombing of a dam, trying to flood #Ukraine's 7th biggest city, #KrivyiRih (RU: #KrivoyRog)

It's the home town of President @ZelenskyyUa
Late in the evening authorities evacuated houses of those living closest to the river.
Yet another major rail accident in #Russia - a sabotage group claims responsibility.

Here a locomotive carrying oil was derailed in #Nizhnekamsk, in the Republic of #Tatarstan.

#StopRussia
New data show #Japan continues giving more & more money to #Russia

With tensions high over the Kuril Islands, Japan did not import any fuel from Moscow in June, but today's August's figures are known.
Although 20% down in volume on Aug 2021, it's still 54% higher in cash terms.
Britain's daily intelligence update concentrates on #Russia's "regrouping" as #Moscow terms it.

London confirms outright panic in some places with heavy losses in terms of hardware.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Good news from #KryvyiRih - the water level is now falling a little.

112 houses were evacuated overnight due to the flooding caused by #Russia's bombing of a dam.

Engineers carried out 2 more explosions themselves to alleviate the initial problem and are now fixing it.
Figures settling down on the daily statement of #Russia's losses.

The destruction of aircraft, tanks and other vehicles well above the mean in the last 24 hours.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
The team running #Ukraine's railways works quickly.

Already today the first train journey to recently liberated #Balakliia.
These people mostly refugees, able to return home for the first time in half a year.

#RussiansGoHome #SaveUkraine
Ran this video yesterday but now with English subtitles. You may be surprised how open Russia is about this considering they hand out death sentences to "mercenaries" fighting for #Ukraine.

Drug dealer? Rapist? No problem, we'll do a test then enlist you

Can't German intelligence shut up stupid politicians there?

Another front would finish off #Russia and Putin. General mobilisation, body bags of the middle classes in Moscow and 'Piter'. Even Georgia's entry to liberate occupied territories would do it.

The water subsides but the problems multiply for #KryvyiRih after #Russia launches another attack.

Head of the city, Oleksandr Vilkul says there is serious damage at "an industrial enterprise.2
No casualties reported.
#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
Another (censored) video from #KryvyiRih (RU: #KrivoyRog) - Zelenskyy's home town - which was hit again today by #Russia.

The fury this is raising among people across #Ukraine is tangible. The determination to "really f***" Russia" is evident.

#StopRussiaNOW #SaveUkraine
Pray for the President of Kyrgyzstan.
Anyone who keeps little Putin waiting is destined for "tea with Putler" or a trip through an open window.

Wonder if Putin will be made to wait by Chinese leader when they meet later in the summit.

#StopRussia #StopPutin
Trouble for the Occupiers in #Mariupol

Residents, still without water or electricity staged a protest. #Russia promised services would be restored weeks ago, having taken control of the city 4 months ago

This is just one small protest, but it could well spread

📹TG mariupolnow
Another base of Russia's Occupiers has been obliterated in #Kherson region.

I reckon #NovaKakhovka is running out of ammunition and soldiers. Looking vulnerable to another #Ukraine advance.... just saying!

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Two explosions in #Melitopol in the last few minutes.

The news is confirmed by the exiled Mayor, citing his sources, saying emergency vehicles are rushing to the south of the Occupied town.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Fair play to the #Ukraine partisans who managed to do this in #Berdyansk.

They painted the coat of arms near the prosecutor's office in the Occupied town.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
Oops - #Russia injured its own propaganda merchants.

A "news" crew from 'TV Tsentr' overturned when Russian missiles landed in #Zaporizhzhia. Correspondent Nikita Vasiliev and the driver were both injured but survived.

A #Ukraine court has today sentenced a Commander in the so called "Luhansk" army to 14 years prison.

The man from Izmail, known as "Kryl" was found guilty in absentia in #Odesa.

The EU delegation visiting #Kyiv today was treated to fresh fruit from newly liberated parts of #Kherson oblast.

Kherson is one of the world's leading suppliers of melons and especially watermelons.
This is occupied #Luhansk (RU: #Lugansk)

The person filming claims it's an example of guys being rounded up on the street and bundled off to enforced "conscription" to join the war against #Ukraine.
Impossible to verify, but multiple reports of this happening.
Shocking but I'm not shocked.

Everyone knew it must be happening. It's been the same in every village, town or city which #Russia occupied.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #WarCrimes

More things landing iñ occupied #Kherson tonight.

This is in #Beryslav, while other explosions reported in #NovaKakhovka

#RussianGoHome
Watch the trailer for a new film about the war crimes in #Bucha.

It's through the eyes of volunteer Kostiantyn Kiastutisovych who managed to save 200 residents from their fate by evacuating from the occupied area north of #Kyiv.

#StandWithUkraine
In #Kyiv there was a gathering to remember journalists who have died in the war.

Around 30 are known to have been killed in #Russia's unprovoked aggression.

The Supreme Court of #Ukraine has once and for all banned the pro-Russian party "Opposition Platform for Life"

Medvedchuk's party's final appeal was rejected.
The Security Service of Ukraine has so far started 70 criminal investigations against members.

Will #Russia obey the #UN order? This resolution was passed 26-2.

Noticeable that #Russia and #China voted against while Burundi, Egypt, India, Pakistan, Senegal, South Africa and Vietnam abstained. Now guess which countries' leaders rely on Rubles!

#Ukraine's government says it has informed @OSCE about the discovery of evidence of torture in the liberated parts of #Kharkiv.

The Prosecutor General's office says there are 33,000 cases of War Crimes now open.

Earlier this evening a fire broke out near the border checkpoint at #Nekhotiivka - inside #Russia's territory.

The governor of #Belgorod Vyacheslav Gladkov obviously blamed #Ukraine shelling. He says one rocket hit a disused petrol (gas) station

#StopRussiaNOW
#Luhansk

Earlier I posted a video of forced conscription on the streets of #Luhansk.

Now another incident is published, this time even worse scenes from #Molodohvardiisk just 10-15km from the #Russia border.

I've stitched two videos together here, hence the skip.

#StopRussia
Explosions in #Melitopol'

Occupiers say their air defence is working. Locals are not convinced. So far results are inconclusive.

#SaveUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Finally for today I've had a few people asking why I haven't mentioned the Sun's story of attempted assassination of Putin.

There are no real quotes, no evidence. That's why I ignored the story when I saw it on Telegram.

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.
