Day 272 of #Russia 4 day plan to take #Kyiv and 10 days to control #Ukraine. How's that going?

Here is another daily thread covering all the news as it happens.

Missed something yesterday? Here's the link for all Monday's news:

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine

Let's start with the daily losses as estimated by #Ukraine.

The total of #Russia's soldiers killed for Putin's egotistical and illegal dream has reached 85,000

The 100,000 figure remain on track to be hit shortly before New Year.

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine️
British Intelligence comes to the conclusion I wrote about four days ago when #Ukraine appeared to have struck an oil terminal on #Russia's Black Sea coast with a 'marine drone'

#StopRussia #SlavaUkraini
First photos have appeared of the destruction of #Russia's base near #Melitopol, reported here a couple of days ago

This is the state of the building in #Vesele now. Tyre tracks can be seen leaving the building after the missile strikes, presumably full of "Cargo 200" (the dead)
Outrage in the Russian Orthodox Church in #Ukraine as Security Service agents raid the historic #Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra.

The SBU says it is tackling subversive activities of #Russia's special services, ensuring premises are not used to hide sabotage groups or store weapons etc.
#Iran's state News Agency reports top level meetings with #Ukraine over the supply of attack drones to #Russia

"Iran believes misunderstandings that have arisen... can be resolved through continued joint engagement on the issue of alleged drones."
#StopRussia
Remind me: who invaded whom?

#Belgorod is strengthening its border with #Ukraine. The paranoia in #Russia's regions closest to Ukraine is reaching crazy levels.

Maybe it's to stop people leaving or importing weapons to start a Belgorod People's Republic?
All schools in #VelikieLuki in #Russia had to be evacuated this morning.

It's a town of 100,000 people in #Pskov Oblast.

The bomb-scare epidemic continues.
Technology firm Nvidia has finally announced it has quit #Russia, nine months after the illegal war commenced.

@nvidia is one of the world's leading Artificial Intelligence companies.

Another EU leader is "scammed" by #Russia's infamous pranksters "Vovan & Lexus"

Impersonating Emanuel Macron, they managedto speak with Polish President Andrzej Duda on the day a rocket fell in #Poland.

The pair must have assistance from RU Intelligence to get past security
2/2

In the call, #Poland's leader Duda said he wouldn't want to allow a "war with Russia" as a result of the Russian made rocket killed two people in the east of Poland.

The conversation was in English, but the only recording I can find so far is with Russian dubbing
Add to the previous tweets.

I cannot hear all of what #Poland's President Duda says, but here is what #Russia's 'comedians' quoted him as saying:
In #Russia the owners of a warehouse that caused a huge fire in central Moscow at the weekend, have been arrested.

It's now known seven people died in the blaze.
#RussiaOnFire

A fair bit of anger in #Ukraine and #Romania today at the actions of #Hungary's Prime Minister.

Viktor #Orbán met one of the country's top footballers Balazs Dzsudsak.

But Orbán was wearing a scarf of "Great Hungary" which right-wingers say includes parts of Romania + Ukraine.
#Kherson's been under attack from #Russia most of this morning with shells falling again now

Earlier a rocket smashed into this house. The owner was inside but survived. One man was injured.

Remember the Kremlin still considers Kherson part of its territory, "killing their own"
Interesting video, spotted by @Tango9_Ali, but I have not been able to verify its authenticity.

It's supposedly from a club in #Kemerovo in #Russia. Locals started arguing with newly mobilised soldiers.
More "friendly fire" - good job they've not been given guns yet!
The Telegraph reports #UK is sending the new laser-guided "Brimstone" missile to #Ukraine

It can travel double the range of the previous model.

Thanks to Gerry for buying me a coffee and thanks to anyone sending me tip offs - my DMs are open (which means I get a lot of unwanted crap!) and thank you to everyone else for reading/following.

Earlier I reported #Ukraine's Intelligence searching the holy Lavra site in #Kyiv.

Now it transpires searches have taken place in two more sites of the Moscow patriarch of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine.

In #Rivne the church is accused of hiding saboteurs from Belarus.
2/2

The #Russia-aligned church in #Rivne oblast is also accused of spreading Kremlin propaganda.

#Ukraine says around $17,500 was found in the administration of the Sarnensko-Polesye diocese of the UOC.

However these photos are all that's been released so far by #Kyiv
I tweeted this very late last night, so worth another outing today:

#Ukraine has summoned #Hungary's ambassador to its Foreign Ministry in #Kyiv.

They say "the unacceptability of Viktor Orban's act will be brought to his attention"

In #Donetsk, a house has been destroyed after shelling in the #Kirovsky district of the occupied city.

Two people were injured.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Looks like there was a lucky escape in #Kramatorsk.

A petrol station was shelled, but escaped explosion.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #RussiansGoHome
Remember #Russia's MOD saying #Belgorod was now safe from #Ukraine shelling as they'd destroyed the MLRS which was hitting the border villages?

You guessed it, they're now blaming #Ukraine for shelling of #Shebekino. A woman was killed.

They also claim a hospital was shelled.
#Ukraine's Presidential Adviser can't resist a cheeky dig at #Russia and the changing objectives of the invaders' "special military operation"

More smoke rising in #Kherson.

Grad missiles thought to be targeting the liberated city.

#SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
This is Sofiia, a teenage girl in recently liberated #Makiivka in #Luhansk oblast.

She clings to her guinea pig as the family leaves the village which is being evacuated.

#StandWithUkraine️ #StopRussia

So called "religious" types in #Russia have called for #HarryPotter to be banned in the country.

Shows and festivals dedicated to @jk_rowling's character are becoming popular in the country but now planned events in Moscow and St Petersburg could be scrapped after this appeal.
Explosions confirmed in occupied #Tokmak quite near #Melitopol in #Zaporizhzhia region.
Effective campaigning.

@redbull @RedBullUK have blood on their hands. Every drink bought gives tax for #Russia to kill more Ukrainians.

It's a moral duty.

About an hour ago, the Occupiers in #Crimea reported a drone attack on the west coast of the peninsula.

#Russia obviously says all objects were shot down by air defence. Loud explosions reported in Evpatoria initially but also later near Sevastopol and Balaklava.
Update from #Crimea

This is reported to be Trade pavilions on fire right now on Khrustalny Beach in #Sevastopol

I cannot verify the video and although I do think it's likely genuine it's possible it could be caused by a falling drone rather than a successful hit.
The European Parliament will soon declare the mercenary group #Wagner a terrorist organisation.

@JamesCleverly @RishiSunak - shouldn't UK do the same?
More shelling in #Kherson today.
This time the Russians hit the Ostriv or "island" quarter, in the south of the city, on the river.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
The decline in #Putin's influence and popularity continues.
This is in #Armenia this evening.

#StopRussia
Thank you Darren G for the gift of a coffee and a cake too actually - saved for the morning!
More rockets reported to be fired at #Kherson from the occupied side of the river.
#Kherson - a rocket has landed in Ostriv district again. That means "island" in Ukrainian: as the name suggests it's the area next to the river.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Bulgaria has surprised many with how resolute its support for #Ukraine has been.

But now a potential row with the #EU after they decided to defy sanctions and allow Lukoil's Black Sea refinery to keep exporting oil products to Europe.

abcnews.go.com/International/…
One more insult and war crime in #Kherson committed by #Russia

The invaders are accused of looting the Ukrainian Private bank, opening all the private safe boxes and stealing the personal belongings.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
UPDATE:
#Russia's sources say they prevented an attack on the thermal power plant at #Balaklava this evening.

Occupying authorities in #Crimea say a number of drones were shot down near, or en route, to the facility.

Impossible to validate the claims.

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.

Day 1366 of the war in Europe is the start of two days of mourning in a small city in Ukraine which suffered over 160 killed and injured in a single Russia attack 24 hours ago.

As the war crimes mount, Trump approves a mad-hat simpleton's plan to end the war

Here's THE daily🧵
Here's the link for the start of Wednesday's🧵
I posted 65 stories - that equates to a post every 22 minutes throughout the entire 24 hours.

Psychologically a devastating day for Ukraine. Being murdered by Russia, being abandoned by the USA.

A reminder US officials are in Kyiv, due to meet Zelenskyy, when Ukraine's president knows he will have to tell the Americans to shove the surrender document up Witkoff's "White House pass"

Is Rubio undermining the WH plan?
It's certainly not realistic and without 🇷🇺concessions Image

Welcome to another daily thread covering all the important things happening in Ukraine right now, and therefore by (unwanted association) Russia too.

All things fact checked, analysed and explained.
The news you can rely on, every day, in one place.

It's Day 1361. I'm late!⏰
Well I had a lovely lie-in as, all things considered it was a relatively news-free morning

My "bitter enders" (those who make it through to the very end of the🧵) will know there was a big attack on Dnipro which kept me reporting late.
Missed it? click⬇️
One thing I've had to do is wade through Trump's interview on GB News. It's actually been worthwhile because it's a wonderful example I can use to train what NOT to do!

Main points being:
1'48" to ask a question is dreadful
Such simpering loses all credibility before you begin

The first few hours of Day 1360 of Russia's genocidal war started with Ukrainians in shelters. More innocent lives have been claimed by the Moscow horde.

The west unable or unwilling to stop the slaughter despite 1000s of war crimes.
We're not incapable, must not be unwilling.
One of the heaviest bombardments Kyiv has ever known dominated y'day's thread and the start of today's.

But Ukraine also continues to pick-off financial targets inside Russia

It all made for one of the longest🧵 so far - the least you can do is read it!
1/2
I am not starting in Kyiv though, because this Friday morning has already seen more murder and another clear terrorist attack by Russia.

A UAV smashed into the town centre of Chornomorsk, another Black Sea port just south of Odesa

2 dead, 7 injured
