Day 228 of #Putin's war.
It's already another bloody and murderous day in #Russia's war on its peaceful neighbour.

#Ukraine stands strong though.

Here's the daily thread.
Check through yesterday's news right here⬇️

Seventeen people murdered this morning as #Russia continues its merciless assault on #Zaporizhzhia

Numerous private houses and apartment blocks were damaged, over a hundred injured with 49 in hospital.

12 missiles hit mostly civilian targets.

No doubt #RussiaIsATerroristState
British Defence Ministry update concentrates on the #Kerch Bridge attack on #Crimea

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Many reports say the death toll is 12 in #Zaporizhzhia but a little earlier Secretary of the City Council Anatoly Kurtev gave the total 17

Six children are among those hospitalised with wounds from the blasts.

Just days ago 19 people were murdered by #Russia in similar attacks.
Strong rumours that #Putin could be about to make major changes in yet another attempt to turn around #Russia's losses on the battlefield.

Defence Minister Sergey Shoigu may be replaced by Tula Gov. Aleksey Dyumin, while Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov may also be sacked
Death. Devastation. Destruction.
#Russia's calling cards.

It's been an almost non stop attack on #Zaporizhzhia this week.

#Ukraine's rescue services still look for more bodeis

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
Strong burning in occupied #HolaPrystan' this morning.
The town is only around 10km south of #Kherson city.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A school in the Kalininsky district of #Donetsk has been hit by shelling.

Looks like targeted strikes but not with the most destructive rockets. Obviously at a weekend and early in the morning no one should be around - but #Russia's troops often use schools as military bases.
One place where #Russia has made a little ground is near #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk).
Invaders have been on the eastern outskirts of the city for weeks without progress. But they're now moving in from the south too.
#Russia's Ministry of Transport has issued the following statement:

"The movement of freight and passenger trains on the #Crimea Bridge is on schedule, suburban traffic will be fully restored at 19.00"

#KerchBridge #CrimeaIsUkraine
#Luhansk Occupiers say #HIMARS rockets were fired at the temporary location of their Ministry of Emergency Situations near #Starobilsk

No internet there, so difficult to get the truth or photos. But on chat sites multiple people confirm an explosion at around 02:00
#StopRussia
A propagandist from #Russia's Army TV has posted a video clip of his drive over the #KerchBridge

Meanwhile all trains delayed from yesterday are now said to have crossed from #Crimea into Russian territory.

#CrimeaIsUkraine #CrimeaBridge
#Ukraine has confirmed which villages the army controls in #Luhansk oblast.

Governor Haidai names them as:
Novolyubivka, Nevske , Hrekivka, Novojehorivka, Nadiya, Andriivka and Stelmakhivka.

All are in the Svativskyi district, just a few km from the state border with #Donetsk
#England and #Ukraine have been drawn together in qualifying for the 2024 men's European Football Championships.

Both countries were placed in Group C at the draw in Frankfurt, along with #Italy, #NorthMacedonia and #Malta. Only the top two qualify.
A 40 year old man from #Russia wrote "Putin is a murderer" on the gate of the Russian embassy in Moldova.

He also threw a firecracker into its territory.
It actually happened Fri/Sat but I've only just seen it.

#StopPutinNow #StandWithUkraine
Another gesture of goodwill from #Russia to leave a working "Caterpillar" minelayer in full working order for the hosts.

Now f*** off back to Russia
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Here's a riddle. When is a TV tower fire not a fire?
Answer: when it's in #Moscow

Something that looks distinctly like a fire or at least sparks shooting from the TV tower in #Russia's capital. The Fire Dept attended and said there is no fire!

#StopRussia
When we talked about #Russia sending cannon fodder and cattle to the frontline, I didn't really think they'd transport the forcibly mobilised like cows.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Russia celebrating "suburban trains" crossing the damaged #CrimeanBridge for the first time since yesterday's explosion.

This departed #Kerch while a train from #Anapa went in the opposite side. However I can't see anyone on this train!

#StopRussia #CrimeaIsUkraine
Don't know about you, but I'm a bit disappointed this time the FSB's super quick solving of a complex case didn't involve a 12 year old girl from #Ukraine!

Occupied #Donetsk - a fire burns in the city - in Petrovsky district.
The "pops" seem regular wood burning rather than anything more suspicious.

A few minutes before, #Russia's forces launched missiles but one was shot down (or malfunctioned)
Maybe the two are linked?

Here's the missile launch by #Russia in Occupied #Donetsk.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopPutin
Rage🤬🤬🤬😰

A maniac from #Saratov in #Russia kept a tiger cub 'Aurora' locked up in total darkness.

Reportedly fed and watered only once a week, she's now blind and terrified.
Animal Rights activists have now rescued the poor creature.

#Russia is once again trying to destroy #Nikopol.

The town is in the south of #Dnipropetrovsk region, just over the water from occupied #Enerhodar where the nuclear power plant is.

#RussiaisATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
Reports circulating among pro-Russians that the invaders have hit a major railway hub in #Pavlograd in #Dnirpopetrovsk region. They also claim secondary explosives indicating perhaps hitting weapons or ammo.

I've searched. Locals say one explosion, and #Ukraine says air defence

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

This is the start of Tuesday's daily thread, with all the important news from, and relevant to, Ukraine in one handy place.

It's Day 1385 and I've still never missed a day of fact checking, analysing and reporting every aspect of the defence against Russia's illegal war.
Yesterday a lot of talking behind the scenes, but politicians were broadly tight-lipped on progress.

Russia did make more small gains on the frontline, but we also found a cat with burned whiskers + how Russian pilots' head-tennis went disastrously wrong
Pres Zelenskyy's whirlwind tour continues, arriving in Rome this morning to meet the Pope at Castle Gandolfo.

At Villa Barberini, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was welcomed by the vice-regent of the papal household, Augustinian Father Edward Daniang Daleng.
