Welcome to Thursday's daily thread on #Russia's war.
It's Day 211 of non stop shelling and killing.

#Ukraine needs your help, if you can spare anything, please consider donating to our Fundraiser as we're falling behind the target

Wednesday was remarkable.

From pathetic Putin's ramblings/partial mobilisation, to the street protests in #Russia, to the prisoner swap deal which saw all 5 Britons released, ending with Zelenskyy's focused and powerful, history-making speech at the #UN

Last night there were big queues at #Russia's southern border with #Georgia.

Presumably men trying to flee before they receive the dreaded call-up to fight in #Ukraine.

Yesterday there were reportedly long queues at the Finnish border and flight tickets selling out.
This is how many Russians spent a large part of the night.

This just one police station in #StPetersburg with around 50 arrested people kept here for hours, many all night. They were among thousands protesting against mobilisation in #Russia

At least they had a piano!

"It's vital for world security that we do not blink, that we are at least as brave as #Ukraine's army."

Forgive me for giving another outing to my essay following Putin's partial mobilisation, hope you agree and feel free to share.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Last night Joe Biden and Volodymyr Zelenskyy gave powerful speeches at the #UNGA

Soon it's the turn of Britain's new Prime Minister @trussliz, who will continue to keep the pressure on #Russia. But will she call #Russia a "Terrorist State"?
As I type it's known 1,455 people were arrested in 38 cities across #Russia as anger at the PARTIAL mobilisation spilled on to the streets.

Most arrests (621) in #StPetersburg

Imagine the scenes when #Putin tries to send more civilians to the war, later becoming "Cargo 200"
Russians also protested outside the country.

Activist Pavel Tikhomirov held a one-man picket against mobilisation and war in front of the Russian Consulate General in #NewYork.

More news coming from #Russia's other borders too..

This was on the south-eastern border with #Kazakhstan

Local news outfit ATEO says "there is a huge queue of cars. The vast majority with men of military age."
...and the border with #Finland
Some trying to escape #Russia are sleeping in their cars. The queue reported by Fontanka to be "several kilometres long"

All according to plan for Vova!

The first video from @cossackgundi after the five Britons were released in a prisoner exchange deal between #Russia and #Ukraine.

Aiden Aslin speaking here, and the others, were initially flown to #SaudiArabia which helped broker the deal.

#SlavaUkraini #StandWithUkraine
Several explosions reported in #Mykolaiv / #Nikolaev this morning.

This blast, just after midnight, was caught on CCTV.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
#Russia says this was washed up on the rocks of #Sevastopol in #Crimea.

It's an unmanned surface vehicle, which may have been a kamikaze mission. They say they blew it up.

That's unlikely, it is probable Russia intercepted it and had a good rummage around to learn more about it
Casualties are reported in #Zaporizhzhie after this explosion this morning.

Infrastructure has been hit.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
British Intelligence today reflects on the partial mobilisation, which "is effectively an admission that #Russia has exhausted its supply of willing volunteers"

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
The day after mobilisation was called in #Russia, there's been an attack on a local government building.

#RussiaOnFire
#StopRussia
400 more of #Russia soldiers are dead.

It's one of many categories with above average numbers today.

(#Ukraine's estimates)

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Always difficult to verify claims on the basis of a couple of stories and photos.

But there are a few reports like this. A man claims after he was arrested at a protest in #Moscow last night, he was given draft papers to join the war on #Ukraine.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
#RussiaOnFire, another potential sabotage.

This fire happened at the building housing the military enlistment office in #Lomonosov, about 30km west of the centre of #StPetersburg.

#Russia officials report this room had not been used for two years and no damage was done 🧐😏
Shaun Pinner is back home with his family.

He is one of five Britons freed from Russian captivity yesterday after a prisoner exchange.

#HeroiamSlava #StandWithUkraine
Exiled mayor of #Melitopol reports an attack in the centre of the occupied town.

This is a translation of his original post. He's since updated to say 6 of #Russia's soldiers are dead or injured.

#StandWithUkraine
#Russia's exceptional intelligence forces - you know the ones @Bellingcat continually humiliate - have saved an oil and gas complex from #Ukraine saboteurs.

It's supposed to have happened in #Volgograd. Look at the evidence - oh there's just dodgy acting!
Nothing to see here in #Moscow - all according to plan.

#Putin always intended for huge queues at #Vnukovo airport, with a disproportionate number of young men fleeing, sorry going on important business, abroad!

#StopPutinNOW #StandWithUkraine
In the far east of #Russia reports that literally anyone is being served with call-ups, even those who don't fit the criteria for mobilisation.

#Buryatia has among the worst death rate in the war yet still has a high "quota" officials need to fulfill. So fresh meat heads to war
Update on the explosion in #Melitopol, a local news channel published this video of the market area.

#Ukraine says it's a false flag by #Russia to induce hatred prior to the sham referendum.

Initially thought 2 🇷🇺soldiers died, now no deaths, 6 injured

WARNING 🔞 blurred bodies in video

Another attack on civilians in the occupied area of #Ukraine, just hours before the sham and illegal referenda get underway

There is zero logic or benefit to 🇺🇦carrying out such attacks. This in #Donetsk, covered market area. 6 dead, 6 injured
Also in #Donetsk, something has been hit by the airport. That's a far more likely and legitimate target for #Ukraine, especially as troops have been advancing on the area for the last fortnight.

#Cyborgs #SaveUkraine #RussiansGoHome
The mask slipped. Staggering #WarCrimes advice

#Wagner group shares this advice on how to torture + kill #Ukraine Prisoners of War.

Do not report their capture, interrogate, chop off finger, ears, shoot in the groin + liver.
Then sell information on the burial site for $2k-$5k
Banner held by #Kazakhstan fans in #NationsLeague match against #Belarus

"I'll show you now where an attack on Belarus was being prepared" 😅👍

Voting paper for illegal referendum in the occupied part of #Zaporizhzhia is revealed.

Minor surprise it's in Ukrainian and Russian. Crazy thing is to vote on a region when half of it including the rcapital are not under #Russia's control.

Anyway, we know the "results" already
Ukrainian have already been having fun with the illegal referendum forms.

How about to the people of #Belgorod in #Russia if they want to join #Kharkiv oblast in #Ukraine!

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
As young male Russians flee, they're being told they can't move to #Kazakhstan. To gain residency they'll need a signed paper of approval from #Russia!

Visa extended visits are ok.

Thank you to the anonymous backer who today donated 30 pounds to our appeal to help #Ukraine's soldiers.

That gift has taken us over £2,000 which is 20% of target

Massive blasts hit #Zaporizhzhia again tonight.

Governor Oleksandr Starukh confirmed "Enemy rockets have again arrived in the regional centre."

10 missiles are thought to have hit infrastructure in the city. No details yet on damage or casualties.
Also more damage after shelling in #Donetsk region.

This the damage caused when a missile hit near the top of this building in the town of #Toretsk (RU: #Dzerzhinsk)

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.

First the breaking news - and a third attack of the night inside #Russia.

At the end of yesterday's thread you may have read of the drone attacks on #Voronezh and #Belgorod regions. Well now it's become clear that #Novgorod has also been attacked by #Ukraine's UAVs..

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.
