Friday 25 November, welcome to the war daily news thread with all the updates from #Ukraine.

It's Day 275 of #Russia's illegal invasion.

Not too much happened on Day 274, but you can catch up on what you missed here:

Britain's Ministry of Defence update outlines what most of my readers will know already.

The big question is will #Russia's mobilised and their relatives rebel - especially families after their loved one's pointless deaths.

#RussiansGoHome
On Wednesday the European Parliament officially declared #RussiaIsATerroristState.

But yesterday evening they also passed a resolution against #Belarus with Lukashenka "sharing responsibility for war crimes with #Russia", calling for justice at the Hague.

Two days after #Russia's big strike on infrastructure, water has finally returned to the southern #Ukraine city of #Mykolaiv. Buses are also running again.

Most Ukrainians have at least some power now, back to scheduled outages following repeated strikes on power stations.
The #UK Foreign Minister has arrived in #Kyiv, bearing gifts!

#Ukraine will receive 24 ambulances, some armoured vehicles and £3m to help rebuild infrastructure, including schools and shelters, which have been destroyed in the war.

#StandWithUkraine
#Ukraine's MOD says it struck an enemy base in the village of Zelenyi Yar in the occupied part of #Zaporizhzhia oblast.

They claim #Russia lost 20 soldiers killed and 15 more wounded plus military equipment destroyed.

#RussiansGoHome #SaveUkraine
On 27 April 2022 the family of Georgi Shakuro made social media appeals to find the sailor whom they were told was "missing"

He was on the #Moskva which was sunk by #Ukraine two weeks previously.

Finally #Russia admits he died. Soon we will get some idea of the true death toll
You probably already follow @GlasnostGone - if not you should do.

One of the staunchest, longest supporters of #Ukraine highlighting #Russia's crimes for many, many years and a huge collection of important videos.

430 more of #Russia's soldiers liquidated in the previous 24 hours, according to #Ukraine.

A slight uptick and the 100,000 remains on course to be hit just before the end of the year.

#StopRussia
More shelling already this morning in #Zaporizhzhia.

#Russia's rockets hit a gas/service station on the outskirts of the city. Thankfully no victims this time.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Plenty of unconfirmed news from #Melitopol, most notably reports of action overnight at the airfield. Explosions followed by a fire, but no photos.

Locals say #Russia is moving reinforcements into the area, but more explosions heard in #Mykhailivka 35 miles north of Melitopol.
Murky footage, but the first video of the sabotaged #NordStream 2 gas pipeline.

#Denmark's TV2 gained the footage with an "underwater drone"

#StopRussia
The European Parliament's vote to name #Russia as a State Sponsor of Terrorism was not quite unanimous.

Now it's reported that some of the 44 MEPs who voted against are finding these posters outside of their offices in Brussels.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
#RussiaOnFire

This is in #NovyUrengoy, in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous region of #Russia. It's around 3,000km north-east of #Moscow

A garage filled with fuel tanks in ablaze.
No news on casualties yet

#StopRussia
In occupied #Melitopol reports of a shootout this afternoon.

Locals say it's probably another disagreement between mobilised units and regulars.

#StopRussia
#Ukraine's Security Service carried out another raid on a church of the Moscow-Patriarch.

At the #Chernivtsi-Bukovyna Diocese they found documents showing the leaders have Russian citizenship, plus how to spread disinformation to parishioners about the political situation in🇺🇦
Emergency services now say 15 people were killed by today's shelling in #Kherson.

#Russia continues to target civilians in territory it claims is Russian

Another 35 people were injured, including a child.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
In occupied #Kherson region, south of the river, there've been explosions in #Chaplynka.

However getting photos from the area under #Russia's control is difficult and risky for locals.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A #Ukraine news site has pointed out the scandalous excess of the Kadyrov family.

The Chechen warlord's 15 year old son was pictured here with a watch supposedly costing almost $1.4m

The rest of his outfit isn't cheap either, at over 200k rubles ($3,300)
In #Kramatorsk today they were cleaning up after #Russia hit a medical building and three apartment blocks.

Luckily no one was seriously injured.

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.
