Notices have appeared in the #Vasylivka district of occupied part of #Zaporozhzhia region... #Russia's "authorities" are telling people the place is being evacuated.
I can't verify this and the photo could have been manipulated, but some media are reporting the theft of one of #Banksy's artworks in #Kyiv region.
This graffiti art has supposedly been cut from the wall in #Hostomel, with police already detaining the suspected culprits.
Call me an old cynic, but I'm not convinced by Mayor of #Dnipro here.
He claims the smoke rising during an air raid warning, and shortly after an explosion was heard, was "coke cooling by our respected metalworkers"
Well, I report what both sides say!
Regular contributor @CarolynnePries1 got very excited over this clip! It's from a live stream of the #Shivulech volcano, which is expected to erupt any day now in #Russia's far-east #Kamchatka region.

The #EU has finally agreed to set a price limit on #Russia's oil (transported by sea) at $60 a barrel.
The G7 is expected to make a statement on Sunday. But it may yet be scrapped without support from other nations - China and India previously indicated they would not agree.
Heartbreaking. How many lives? How many families and relatives may never know where their relatives were buried, if they were even buried.
#Mariupol - likely 10,000 civilians died here when #Russia pummelled the city with zero regard for human life.
The historic #Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra has been officially registered as part of the #Ukraine patriarchy.
Previously it has been part of the #Moscow branch of the Orthodox Church.
Culture Minister Oleksandr Tkachenko reassured people monks there will not be forced to move.
These are said to be mobilised soldiers at a training camp in #Kazan. They were told they couldn't see relatives, so just smashed open the gate and a fight started.
Again a relatively quite night in the #RussiaUkraineWar. but still news coming up of rocket attacks by Russia and more heavy losses for the invaders.
All the news, all day, in one thread, read on!⬇️
As always, a quick link for yesterday's thread in case you missed anything, such as the #USA naming the #Wagner group and another rebellion among #Russia's newly mobilised (cannon fodder)
I estimated 100,000 Russian soldiers would be killed shortly after the "western"/Catholic Christmas. Now it looks like it will happen just before then as high losses continue for #Russia

First, I wanted to highlight this report by #Ukraine's respected @pravda_eng
It looks at how, and why, President @ZelenskyyUa gained his own TV channel, while other oligarchs were squeezed out of the media market. This echoes my own concerns:
#Ukraine's officials are not saying much, but we do know there were two explosions at, or near, the railway station in the city in #Dnipropetrovsk region.
