Welcome to Wednesday's daily🧵covering all the news from #Russia's war of choice.

The Kremlin hopes to mobilise 1m "soldiers" to fight the losing battle. To defend their homeland, #Ukraine troops need winter gear. Please help us reach £10k target

Today is Day 217.
Yesterday saw the "results" of the fixed and illegal referenda, blank voting papers, stolen toilets, empty passenger jets heading into #Russia and much more.

Missed it? No problem - scroll though from here:
#StopRussia #SaveUkraine

One of the most important pieces of news came late last night and that is #Italy's confirmed commitment to #Ukraine despite the change of government.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState

A lovely thing to watch is this clip from the infamous #Russia 1 prime-time current affairs programme.
Chief Propagandist Solovyov panics after "being drafted"
Panel openly referring to "cannon fodder" and "meat grinder", suggest "worthless art" students should be sent instead!
The above video was a parody from @R82938886 😆

Today's figures from the meat grinder by the way: 400 more of #Russia's soldiers won't be returning home.

Other numbers generally lower - appears #Russia is digging in and waiting for reinforcements (fresh cannon fodder)
Very annoyed at some British broadcast media this morning announcing "four occupied regions of #Ukraine vote to join #RussianArmy

This is disgusting and irresponsible reporting.

The real residents were not asked, did not vote or were threatened at gunpoint.
#StopRussia
Let's check in and see how #MobilizationInRussia is going.

This is #Sevastopol in #Crimea.

#Ukraine's fighting machine will be quaking in their boots when Dad's Army limps over to the mainland!
#Ukraine still has momentum. #Russia struggling on various fronts.
That's the message from the UK today.

Widely believed Putin personally intervened to stop a retreat behind the Dnipro river in #Kherson - a catastrophe waiting to happen; it could happen very soon!
#SaveUkraine
#Russia's shells landed in #Hulyaipole in #Zaporizhzhia this morning.

Of course 98% of people here want Russian rule, why wouldn't you?

Three S-300 anti aircraft missiles hit roads and an historic building, no casualties reported

#StopRussia

Things remain tense on other nations' borders with #Russia too.

#Finland urges residents to inform about all suspicious people seen near frontier.

Meanwhile chaos at the Upper Lars crossing into #Georgia (unverified video); Russian army now arriving, possibly to block access.
Failing to support #Ukraine is giving the green light to this.

War crimes will be committed again and again, not only in #Ukraine, but in Putin's next target if he's allowed to get away with the inhuman actions of this conflict, which he started.

How do I know there will be more war crimes in a different part of world? History gives us the answer.

Chechnya was first in #Putin's reign of terror. Horrific tales of rape and torture are still coming to light from the 2008 war in #Georgia

President Vucic days #Serbia will NOT recognise the results of the pseudo referenda in #Ukraine.

Poor Vova, even his friends are putting one foot in the opposition camp now. Don't worry Putin, Syria is still with you!
Likely that #Ukraine has demolished a Russian HQ in occupied #Kherson.

This is the Kolos Hotel in #Oleshky - looks like the Occupiers checked in, but now they can never leave.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
(Unverified)

The border between #Russia and #Kazakhstan beginning to resemble a refugee camp.

#StopRussia
Former @Everton star Diniyar Bilyaletdinov has been issued with call up papers by #Russia's army.

#Ukraine has hit #Russia's TV and Radio broadcast facilities in #Luhansk region.

This is in the town of #Starobilsk

#LuhanskIsUkraine #Lugansk #StandWithUkraine
News in brief:

#Russia has called an emergency meeting of UNSC to be held Friday, over NordStream sabotage

#Iran's President to make very rare address to nation tonight as riots continue

#China's Xi Jinping makes first public appearance since rumours of a coup appeared.
A #Ukraine official has said they are negotiating with #Russia over the possible return of all Prisoners of War.
#EU President to "make Kremlin pay" for escalation in #Ukraine

8th round of sanctions on #Russia passed. Oil price cap + bans on:
* import of🇷🇺 products (-€7.5 bn)
* export to🇷🇺 aviation/electronic/chemical materials.
* EU citizens holding senior positions in🇷🇺 state companies.
I, indeed any seasoned Russia/Ukraine watcher, cannot stress this enough.

Do NOT appease dictators.
Do NOT show weakness.
Oh and Do NOT feed the trolls!

This Occupier from #Russia admits they usually stay in residential areas of #Ukraine, because it is "safe"

Sergei Zavdoveev, callsign "Frenchman", told a propaganda channel that if they enter the city, they are placed among civilians.
What says @amnesty?
💣Such a shame! I think a naughty Russian's been smoking again!

14 victims reported after explosions in #Belgorod region, just over the border inside #Russia

The Governor "detonation of ammunition occurred in the Valuysky urban district due to a human factor"

#StandWithUkraine
UPDATE just in from previous tweet about ammo explosions in #belgorod

A doctor at the Valuy District Hospital confirms “Today, around 4 pm, 14 civilians received various shrapnel wounds as a result of the detonation of ammunition"
All victims have moderate and mild injuries.
Somehow this tweet escaped the thread, so including now:

#Russia is attacking #Ukraine with missiles again.

Infrastructure has been hit in #KryvyiRih again - significant damage reported.

5 x Kh-59 were fired from Su-35 aircraft. Air defence took down 4 of the 5 missiles fired at #Dnipropetrovsk and #Zaporizhzhia regions

#StopRussia
UPDATE on strike on #KryvyiRih (RU: #KrivoyRog)

Governor Reznichenko confirms a 'grain processing enterprise' in the Kryvorizky district was hit - no casualties but big damage.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
Yet another strike by #Ukraine near the #Antonivskyi bridge.

In addition, explosions in #NovaKakhovka tonight - unconfirmed reports that Russian bases have been hit in both.

Also in #Kherson oblast, a fire burns in #Brylyvka - it's a small town midway between Kherson + #Crimea
More explosions in #Dnipropetrovsk oblast.

Nothing further known right now..

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
1/2
Two powerful blasts heard in #Dnipropetrovsk a few minutes ago.

The strikes came within a minute of each other.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
2/2
Windows were shattered near the explosions.
A fire has started and the glow lights up the sky.

#MartialLaw prevents further details at this stage

#StandWithUkraine #SaveUkraine
Looks to be an even worse glow in #Zaporizhzhia - TPYXA reporting more missiles fired by #Russia there this evening.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
Residents in #Zaporizhzhia region counted 8 explosions in the latest attack.
It's not yet known if any of these was air defence.

#SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
Two more photos from #Dnipropetrovsk region after the missile attacks there tonight.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Now footage of two CCTV videos back to back, replaying the moment of one of the big blasts to rock #Dnipropetrovsk tonight.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
A big fire in #Dnipropetrovsk at the site of one of the missile strikes by #Russia

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine #UkraineUnderAttack
It's loud in #Kramatorsk too.

Several big bangs, unclear if it's air defence or rockets landing in the #Ukraine held city near the frontline.

It's Day 1451 of the attempt to wipe Ukraine off the map/

Russian athletes compete at the #WinterOlympics while a Ukrainian athlete is in court right now trying to overturn his ban.

This is THE daily thread. Facts not fabrication. Proof not propaganda. Every single day.
Here's the link for the start of yesterday's thread, for those playing catch-up.

A day dominated by the IOC's own goal, but more, regular attacks by Russia day and night.

Another tragedy/massacre in Ukraine, with at least four civilians killed in another Russian airstrike.

It happened in Kramatorsk in free Donetsk.
Three of those killed were under 21 years of age, the other victim was in his 60s.

The war in Europe continues. This is Day 1445 of Russia's attempt to erase Ukraine from the map & destroy its language and culture.

The genocide continues as I type, with a massive missile attack underway.

For all the news as it happens, keep checking back. This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday started with a supposed assassination attempt on another very senior Russian soldier.

A load of other great stories too, including the start of the overnight attack on Ukraine's remaining energy facilities. Catch up on what you missed here:

Having seen around 200 attack drones flying at the height of Russia's attack tonight, there are now around half that.

Day 1444 of Russia's merciless war has begun with the invaders losing another Lieutenant General - has Ukraine's special services struck again?

Detail on all the stories, all day, every day in my daily thread. Let's Go!
Thursday's thread included the release of a relatively small number of POWs - but finally some Azov fighters were freed.

And double delight for Ukraine tennis fans, to offset a little of the pain of more Russian attacks.
If you missed anything, click⬇️

So, Russia's reporting (which doesn't necessarily make it true) that one of the most senior Generals has been shot.

Lt Gen Vladimir Alekseev is said to be alive and in hospital after the attack in Moscow.

What makes me a little suspicious is there are no photos from the scene. Image

It's Monday, the second day of the 2nd month.
Day 1440 of Russia's illegal full invasion of its sovereign neighbour.

As we approach another round of "peace talks", Russia seems to be preparing by committing an ever growing number of sickening war crimes.

This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday was one of those days when I was repeatedly sickened by the actions of the monsters from Moscow.

The "energy truce" broken by attacking a bus of civilian miners heading to work. A medical building inc. a maternity unit hit, and more
Review here
Monday is a day of mourning in Dnipropetrovsk region following the deliberate targeting of a bus in the small town of Ternivka, near Pavlohrad.

16 people were killed. Another 14 are in hospital, seven of whom are in a serious condition.

Saturday 27 December 2025 is Day 1403 of Russia's war of choice.

The day began with missile attacks on Ukraine shortly after midnight and the terrorism continued with drone strikes, may into residential areas, with Kyiv bearing the brunt of the damage.

Here's THE daily thread
Here's the link to yesterday's thread, which started with Russian murders, missiles on streets in Kharkiv and ended with the missile attack on Kyiv.

But there were also 'direct sanctions' taken by Ukraine on war criminals and military targets:

News is still coming in from Kyiv especially after the awful bombardment. Mayor of the city, @Vitaliy_Klychko has just issued an update saying 28 people have been injured, with 13 hospitalised

Although the city's had the air raid warning lifted, it's still affecting Kyiv region Image

Christmas Eve is another milestone as we mark the latest 100 days of war

Yes, it's Day 1400 of Ukraine's fight for its existence.
Coming up:
Zelenskyy accepts peace plan but are we really nearer peace?
A twist in Moscow's 2nd car bomb in 24 hours.
And all the news yet to happen
A very late start today - I apologise but it's Christmas time with things to do, places to go and also my body demanding enough sleep to survive!

So we start as usual with the throwback to yesterday for you to catch up, which included car bomb #2..

The seemingly random attack on police officers in Moscow last night, may have been a Ukraine targeted attack.

Two "traffic officers" died overnight on the same street where a Lt Gen was eliminated the day before.
Now it's reported the dead were in Ukraine and tortured civilians Image
