Here's the British Intel update for Sunday. Not surprisingly it's all about #Lyman.
Imagine being one of the those reservists mobilised last week, sent straight to the cauldron, sentenced to death by #Russia a week after your normal life was shattered by #Putin.
This is the home town of President @ZelenskyyUa and a kamikaze drone was used to target the lyceum in the city centre. Still no details from authorities about damage or casualties
We've raised £3,178 for #Ukraine's soldiers - just 11 days left of the appeal.
I know there are a lot of fundraisers but we can source discounted winter clothes and thanks to Polish/Ukrainian Michal and his team, free transport to Ukraine. Thanks💙💛
#Lyman has been completely cleared of #Russia's invaders.
#Ukraine's President made a special short video post on Telegram to inform the nation of the news about the town in #Donetsk region, which two days ago #Putin pledged would forever be Russia.
#Russia is today claiming this strike in #Dnipro three days ago killed "more than 35 employees of #Ukraine's Security Service, including foreign advisers"
It says in total more than 40 people are missing: #StopRussia
Another twist in the mystery of the buried sea mines!
You may remember yesterday the videos I posted showing the burial of what seems to have been mines.
Some feared #Russia could contaminate the soil and then explode the bombs. UA Online reckons it was just another 🇷🇺 fake!
I am interested by this propaganda from the Occupiers
"#Russia guarantees all people living on the territory of the LPR, DPR, Kherson & Zaporizhzhia regions the right to preserve and study their native language."
But that's Ukrainian. They shut all🇺🇦language schools in Russia!
Four mushroom pickers have died in #Chernihiv region in #Ukraine after their car hit a Russian mine.
There is a ban on entering forests for this reason, and sadly they paid with their lives.
Extraordinary claims of #Ukraine success... from a RUSSIAN blogger.
Here's a translation of reports Ukraine's forces broke through deep into Occupied territory in #Kherson region. Completely unconfirmed but look at the map - it could be a #Russia withdrawal to east of the river.
Another of #Russia's jets has been destroyed in #Donetsk region.
#Ukraine's armed forces released these photos of the Su-34, which they did not even know had crashed and was only discovered today in liberated #Lyman.
After freeing #Lyman, the #Ukraine army has pushed on all the way to #Kreminna where battles are ongoing.
#Russia withdrew to here, but are thought to be having trouble to defend a solid front having retreated in haste and being outnumbered and with inferior artillery.
Didn't #Russia say the war was to defeat Nazis in Kyiv?
Now an influential 🇷🇺channel says
"Either we will win on the territory of the former Ukraine, or we will have to win in Russia. Every fighter must understand this; he went to war so that the war would not come to his house"

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!
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
