Welcome to Sunday's thread with all the news of #Russia's illegal war - updated live, throughout the day.

All of #Ukraine has been under air raid warnings for an hour with 🇷🇺planes in the sky

Here's the link for yesterday's thread if you missed anything:
It's Day 263 of this war.
In 8 days it's the anniversary of the start of #Euromaidan protests in #Ukraine and subsequent Revolution of Dignity when the corrupt pro-#Russia president fled.

It's also 18 years since Moscow poisoned pro-West future President Viktor #Yushchenko.
The UK daily update focuses on the news about kids getting military training in #Russia's schools.

Will it increase patriotism?

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
Well it took the leader of the free world four days, but eventually they got to the position I expected immediately after the election.

The Democrats don't even need to win the run-off in Georgia to keep control of the Senate. #Ukraine will be relieved.

Saturday was quiet, reflected in #Ukraine's daily update on #Russia's war losses

Very little equipment destroyed, but still another 650 Russian troops fertilising the ground. This could be inflated by soldiers who failed to make it across the Dnipro river in the #Kherson retreat
After more than an hour and a half, the air raid warning has been lifted for most of #Ukraine. Not a great start to Sunday morning, many still without electricity too.
I wrote yesterday evening about explosions reported in #Chaplynka in southern #Kherson region.

Later video uploaded from the town seems to show #Ukraine's forces managed to hit an ammo dump.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
It's also being claimed, but without photo evidence, that #Ukraine has hit a base of #Russia's soldiers near #NovaKakhovka in #Kherson region.

There were explosions in this area last night and it's reported up to 500 invaders may have been hit in #Dnipryany next to the river.
More on the previous tweet about #Dnipryany in #Kherson.

#Ukraine claims "two trucks of killed Russian invaders were taken to Tavriysk. 56 seriously injured were taken to hospital, of which 16 more died soon after."

#KhersonIsUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Did you know?

Today in #Russia it's Day of "Formation of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defence Troops"

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Russia says it is in control of the centre of #Opytne village in #Donetsk region.
It's less than 5km from #Ukraine held #Avdiivka and fighting continues on the outskirts.

Elsewhere on the eastern front no further claims of advancement by either side.
#StandWithUkraine
#Ukraine is staying silent about what happened in #Cherkasy overnight. There were heavy explosions but not a mention today.

#Russia's war bloggers speculate they hit energy infrastructure, but no lack of power reported.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
This footage has just been posted, showing a Russian jet being hit. I cannot verify if it is new or recent, but it may well be.

The video was said to be shot near #Bakhmut.

#StandWithUkraine
Russian soldiers gang raped a 12 year old girl in #Ukraine.

That's the claim as #Ukraine's Intelligence releases what it says is an intercepted phone call from the invaders.

The incident said to have happened in #Kreminna, #Luhansk region

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Apologies, I posted the recording without subtitles!

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Reports coming in of a (near) riot among newly mobilised soldiers at the well known "Park Patriot" west of #Moscow in #Russia.

The forcibly conscripted know they're heading to the frontline and angrily complained at lack of training.

The General himself tried to reduce tensions
1/2
There's a lot written today about a Russian soldier whose head was smashed in by a sledgehammer.

He was a POW & says he was attacked on the streets of Kyiv after saying he wanted to fight FOR #Ukraine

He was part of a prisoner exchange with #Wagner:

pravda.com.ua/news/2022/11/1…
2/2

However, a number of questionable aspects:
It's inconceivable #Ukraine would release such a badly injured prisoner.
Indeed, #Ruyssia's #Wagner group virtually admits the execution and further introduces a new term "Cargo 800" - they break the legs of retreaters.
More celebrations in #Kherson today by the "90%" who "voted" in favour of union with #Russia 😂😂😂

#KhersonIsUkraine #Ukraine
In Occupied #Melitopol residents were surprised to see that #Russia's flag has disappeared from one of the flagpoles.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
Enlightening thread on the violent death of a "POW" which I mentioned a while ago.

Maybe it won't be so difficult to reclaim the rest of #Kherson?

If #Ukraine hit #Russia's gear at #Chaplynka airfield as I suspect, it's not surprising they want to avoid another #Chornobaivka. Let's hope not just equipment stays away.

You may have heard about an explosion in #Istanbul, where a suspected suicide bomber has killed 11 people.

The incident happened on Istiklal Avenue in the historic Beyoglu district of #Turkiye's biggest city.
Worth pointing out that #Russia's Consulate is on this street.
Re the previous tweet:
CNN Turk is reporting only that 11 people were injured (not killed), no official confirmation of victims.

I apologise if the initial report proves inaccurate, but I merely wanted to make the so far tenuous link to Russia.
Sadly a new aquafresh wrapper was found for the pole in #Melitopol'

Earlier I reported that #Russia's flag in the Occupied town had "disappeared"
A lot of people on the eastern front line saying it's hell right now.

Today in #Toretsk a maternity hospital and a dispensary were shelled by #Russia's forces.

#Ukraine's Head of #Donetsk, Pavel Kirilenko reports no civilian casualties.
#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
#Russia says it foiled an attempted landing by #Ukraine's armed forces on the Kinburn Spit, the far western tip of the south bank of the Dnipro.

The Kremlin claims up to 20 members of Ukraine's 73rd Marine Special Operations were killed near the village of Pokrovskoe.

No proof
Power cuts in part of #Kursk region of #Russia today after shelling.

Locals report 7 rockets hitting the border village of Krasnooktyabrsky in the #Glushkovsky District.

#StandWithUkraine
However, in complete contrast to the previous report, #Ukraine says it successfully landed troops on the spit yesterday.

This evening they report they've liberated the strip of land up to the village of #Heroiske
#RussiaOnFire

Arson is a possible reason for this fire near St Petersburg according to investigators.

This church (Veniamin's) in the village of #Yanino is only 10 years old.

Earlier it was feared the dome may collapse but the blaze was extinguished before that happened.
They haven't done yet, but if things get really tough for #Ukraine, the Babushki division is ready to liberate the rest of the country.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Multiple loud explosions reported in #Luhansk. At least five according to local posts.

Of course authorities say air defence worked perfectly.
There is evidence of success in the sky, but from the reports of the loud decibels, it seems likely at least one rocket landed.
Already suspicion of a mass grave in liberated #Kherson

It's at the city's cemetery, but mass burials look to have taken place. Some of the graves have dates from the first two weeks of the invasion.
It's unknown how many people were buried there.

#StandWithUkraine
Do they know something we don't?

#Russia's NTV has suddenly removed not only #Kherson, but also #Melitopol and #Luhansk from its weather map!

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Bizarre protest in #Perm'

Olga Syutkina was arrested for "discrediting the army"

Her poster reads “They surrendered #Kherson, they will also surrender #Moscow

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:

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:

100% record in air defence overnight, according to #Ukraine.

Of 83 attack drones fired by #Russia, 61 were shot down by #Ukraine with the other 22 decoys.

I did report a fire in #Sumy last night, but that and damage in #Kharkiv #Poltava + #Kirovohrad were from falling debris. Image

Good morning world, on Day 1076 of #Russia's genocidal war on #Ukraine

It's now 14 days since Trump's inauguration & no peace deal, but his "peace envoy" Kellogg is expected to visit both aggressor and defender soon.

Here's Monday's daily thread. All you need to be in the know
Daily🧵views were slightly up over the weekend, which is heartening as it's a critical time.

#Ukraine is starting to hurt #Russia logistically, while Putin responds by killing civilians, confident he'll soon get a Trump-pass.

Read Sunday's news here:
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. Image

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.
