Here is the daily thread for Day 281, with #Russia now 9 months behind schedule in its plan to conquer #Ukraine & kill the democratically elected President.

Thursday's already started violently. News on the latest attack on Ukraine and all the developments in one handy thread⬇️
If you missed anything from yesterday, including evening explosions in occupied #Donetsk, here's the start of Wednesday's thread - scroll through at your leisure!

A big explosion rocked #Kherson in the early hours this morning.

A multi storey apartment block's been hit. A witness reported 6 explosions. Emergency services are still searching for possible victims.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
I must apologise for not being able to send individual thank yous to our top contributors to our #Ukraine fundraiser

As you know the goods were received by the troops (see photos) on the frontline in the east. They're busy and using power sparingly, but I'm trying to nudge them!
Personal news: I'm heading to #Ukraine next week. It takes more planning & is way more expensive than it used to be!

I need extra power banks + a solar panel for charging, costing £100. I'll donate it when I leave Ukraine. If you want to make a donation:

The US Ministry of Defense has concluded a deal to manufacture NASAMS for #Ukraine.

The $1.2m deal went to @RaytheonTech with the official announcement listed first on this link:

A #Ukraine state TV channel reports that #Russia's invaders ATE animals at a zoo under Occupation.

They claim soldiers from the Terrorist State entered Yampil zoo, killing and devouring bison, deer and ostriches. The troops also starved a camel and wolves.

#StopRussia
Here's the UK Intel word for Thursday:

Seems #Ukraine is lucky #Russia didn't hit the power grid in the first month of the war.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWIthUkraine
Today's daily losses settle in to the recent trend.

#Russia seeing another 560 of its soldiers killed if #Ukraine's figures are accurate.
All other categories below the mean for the whole war.

We will hit 90,000 dead tomorrow or Saturday
#Ukraine's Command says it's hit 2 of #Russia's warehouses and 3 military bases in the last three days.

They issued this graphic showing the spread of the strikes
The expected full eruption of #Russia's #Shiveluch volcano in #Kamchatka hasn't happened yet.

But these guys reckon an accompanying earthquake today or tomorrow is almost certain, and could cause a Tsunami for #Japan

In #Melitopol the #Ukraine Resistance movement has stepped up its work.

Posters from Partisans in the town are now becoming more threatening to #Russia's Occupiers.

#SlavaUkraini #MelitopolIsUkraine
#Ukraine's Intelligence and Security Services show materials they found during the raid on the monastery of the Moscow Patriarch in Transcarpathia in west Ukraine.

Priests there called for the "awakening of Mother #Russia" and saw literature denying Ukraine's right to exist.
My heartfelt thanks to @Tango9_Ali and Naren for their donations to help me in #Ukraine next week.

Developments in #Belarus - with the obvious fear that the country is about to invade #Ukraine.

It's known that a band of #Russia's top generals and an a mystery VIP have all flown to Belarus,
But Ukraine believes it's just a ruse to divert weapons north

24tv.ua/do-bilorusi-pr…
#Ukraine reports another "friendly fire" massacre among #Russia's recruits.

Kyiv's Intel says 14 newly mobilised soldiers died a week ago when a shell hit their tent in Tsukury in #Kherson region.

This cannot be verified

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
All of #Ukraine is under an air warning yet again.

It probably means #Russia's planes are active.
We hope it's not the feared missile attack from the Terrorist State's bombers at the Engels Air Base near Saratov.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
This is a "rocket cemetery" in #Kharkiv region.

Drone footage shows thousands of #Russia's missiles after being fired on #Ukraine, including cluster bombs.

They're being stored here to provide evidence of war crimes at a future tribunal.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
This video caused amusement among people in #Ukraine after the raccoon stolen by #Russia tried to bite the traitor "head" of occupied #Kherson

Saldo says he won't exchange the animal for monuments, which many hoped for "as we have all the monuments here, we moved Potyomkin."
Experts are warning #Russia is resorting to oversees terror operations and could target UK and other allies

It comes after a 2nd explosive package in #Spain in 24 hrs. Y'day #Ukraine's ambassador, today a manufacturer of weapons for Ukraine was targeted

heraldo.es/noticias/arago…
50 more #Ukraine military have been freed from captivity in the latest prisoner exchange.

More defenders of #Mariupol and #Azovstal, including men who were prisoners in #Olenivka are among the freed.

#HeroiamSlava
#Ukraine confirms what social media reports suggested for a while - #Russia's army is leaving some villages on the banks of the river #Dnipro in #Kherson.

UA Defence says most of the Russian troops still in the area were recently mobilised; most better-trained have already left.

Of course there's more shelling of #Kherson again today, and it's continuing right now too.

This is the site of one of the arrivals.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
In #Kamyshin in the #Volgograd region of #Russia, the Soviet Union started building a hospital over 3 decades ago.

It was never built.
@CarolynnePries1 spotted that today it was demolished.

Headline is a little misleading...

Joe Biden said that for talks with #Putin to take place, the Kremlin must at least show interest in ending the war.

However, in the near future, the #USA President does not plan to talk with #Russia's leader

Nothing to see here - just some of #Russia's occupiers caught on camera stealing geese from a Ukrainian house.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
We were surprised to see @BearGrylls turn up in #Kyiv and many asked "what's he doing there?"

Well the survival expert was invited to meet the President today. They went downtown to check out one of #Ukraine's new "invincibility points" for emergency heat/power during blackouts.
Thank you so much Dorothy and @jrodwyer for your very generous support on my Ko-Fi page this afternoon, ahead of my trip to #Ukraine.

And for their tip offs my appreciation to Ali, Andy and Carolynne.
Explosions this evening in the south of #Kharkiv region.

#Russia is attacking #Chuhuiv with rockets hitting the town.

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
