This is the daily #RussiaUkraineWar thread for Sunday 4 December.

It's 284 of the monstrous war with hundreds of thousands dead because of #Putin's ego and his initial war crime.

Here's the link if you missed Saturday's news:

Britain's Ministry of Defence report for Sunday references research I hadn't seen.

For a totalitarian state where everything is controlled and people are afraid to speak the truth, these are quite dramatic numbers from #Russia

#StopRyssia #StandWithUkraine
The war is slowing
#Ukraine's spirit and resistance remains high

Those were the headlines from #USA Intel chief Avril Haines' speech overnight.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine

The #EU may criminalise sanctions-busting in a bid to tighten the screws on #Russia's war chest.

Its Chief Prosecutor, Laura Kovesi, made her reputation fighting corruption in her native #Romania.
Now she's targeting those who profit by helping Russia

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Exiled Mayor of #Melitopol' says citizens are effectively taken hostage for 2 days while trying to cross the #Vasylivka checkpoint in #Zaporizhzhia

No proof of Ivan Fedorov's claims that some were physically beaten during interrogation while many had to sleep in cars in -5 temps
In the early hours of the morning #Russia's forces attacked a village near #Kupiansk with S-300 rockets.

Transport infrastructure was damaged in Shevchenko as well as 5 private houses. No one was injured.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
Police in #Spain say the letter bombs sent to #Ukraine targets in the last 10 days, probably came from the city of Valladolid.

The devices were sent to #Ukraine's ambassador, Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez, Govet offices, an EU satellite company & the U.S. Embassy.

#StopRussia
At least 5 volunteers from #Georgia have been killed and their commander wounded in the battle for #Bakhmut.

They've been fighting #Russia since March. One soldier says they haven't been able to retrieve the bodies but more reinforcements are on the way.

mtavari.tv/news/105640-mz…
Today's daily losses continue the recent trend.

550 more of #Russia's soldiers eliminated according to #Ukraine's data.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Explosions reported in #Kherson again right now.

Shelling in different districts.
#Russia's ill-disciplined army likely committing more crimes here.

Unverified footage (with no location or date made public) said to be private cctv from a nice house, where those who call themselves 'liberators' proved again they are just looters.

#RussiaWarCrimes
* WARNING * Disturbing photos

Unverified pictures and claims of more #RussiaWarCrimes

#Russia has assembled a "shadow fleet" of more than 100 tankers to bypass oil sanctions.

Many ships have been bought up by anonymous entities recently. The original FT report is pay-walled but you can read here:

yahoo.com/news/russia-as…
The previous President of #Ukraine has started opening what will clearly be seen as a rival to, but is meant to complement, the state's "point of invincibility"

Petro @poroshenko enjoyed the photoshoot saying his new place for heat/power works perfectly.

Five more instances of shelling so far in #Kherson today.

#Ukraine's govt says 169 missiles were fired on the city in the last fortnight.
19 people died during this time. 39 were injured, including 1 child

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
#RussiaOnFire

18 people are injured and there are fears some people may have been killed in this incident 3,000km east of #Moscow in #Nizhnevartovsk

Emergency services fear people are under the rubble after suspected gas explosion.

#Russia is a huge country, accidents happen.
A 264th Russian helicopter has been shot down in #Ukraine today.

This footage was released by the Ukrainian Armed Forces of a unit of the Dnipro anti-aircraft brigade hitting a Ka-52 attack model. There is no snow on the ground yet near #Bakhmut.
A furious mother in #Russia has launched a scathing attack on #Putin, saying the President shouldn't expect to have his sins absolved.
Irina Chistyakova's son is missing and thought to be a #Ukraine Prisoner of War even though he's not supposed to be in the war zone.
Occupied #Donetsk didn't escape shelling today.
The moment of impact near the centre was captured on cctv here:

#DonetskIsUkraine #Donbas #Donbass
#Kherson now beginning to resemble some of the #Ukraine towns and cities which have been left devastated by #Russia's disregard for human life or property.

#StandWIthUkraine #russiaisateroriststate
Earlier in the thread I showed the fire after a gas explosion in #Nizhnevartovsk.

People were indeed buried under the rubble and six people were killed in the blast as part of the building collapsed. Another 2 people are missing, 4 more in hospital.

Day 1299 - the daily thread starts here, covering all things to do with the illegal invasion of Ukraine by its demonic neighbour.

Plenty to catch up on due to the late start today.
So no time to waste, let's go...
Apologies for the much later start than intended, due to a few technical issues, as well as Dad's Taxi being booked for a rescue mission😂

Before we look at today's events, here's the link back to Saturday's thread:

At the end of yday's thread, I wrote about what was a probable Russian strike on Kyiv's railway.

Ukraine's Gen Staff doesn't say it was an attack but admits a "detonation of ammunition on a train carrying military cargo"

Accidents happen, but either way it's a clear blow.

Hello on Day 1298 of Russia's full invasion of its sovereign neighbour. So, only 1295 days late in fulfilling the boast of taking Kyiv in 3 days. #EATP for Putin.

I've compiled a🧵every single day without fail.
You can help my work with a boost, comment, re-post or a coffee🙏
Friday saw more important visitors arrive in Kyiv (and another familiar place is in Ukraine today).

There was more solidarity and practical support, while Russia suffered more oil woes.

If you missed anything, click and scroll here:

I'll start in Odesa, because that's where the familiar face has turned up.

He was planning to return to Ukraine a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't make it, but now Boris is back.
Loved by nearly all Ukrainians, his early arrival (with Lord Ashcroft) meant he avoids the crowds. Image

Hello once again on Friday 12 September 2025.

Day 1297 of Russia's imperialist war, but the senior bully keeps being given a bloody nose by the junior school kid next door. How embarrassing for the "world's second greatest army" and more 'punches' thrown by Ukraine overnight..
There was so much in yesterday's thread.

Russia hitting churches, Ukraine striking a boat.
The US helping Belarus, which helps🇷🇺 & Trump questioning if the drone attack on Poland was a mistake.
Thursday ended with a Ukraine drone surge into Russia:
It was busy at Kyiv's main railway station this morning with two VIP arrivals making unannounced visits.

Prince Harry accepted a request to return to Ukraine saying "we have to keep (the war) at the forefront of people's minds."

Poland's FM @sikorskiradek hopped off soon after Image

Day 1296 of Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine, welcome to THE daily thread for Thursday 11 Sept.

My thoughts today are with all Americans on the 24th anniversary of a sickening terrorist attack, born of hatred.

It seems we learned little. A cycle of violence has to end.
Some may accuse me of hypocrisy, and that's fine, it's their right in a free world.

My strongest criticism is reserved for leaders who spread lies, try to brainwash and use people instead of helping them.

I don't hate all Russians, though I detest what the country has become.
If ever the U.S. and the free world needed to be unified, it is now, just like we were 24 year ago.

Russia is an existential threat to Ukraine even existing, but also to the way of life of all of us.

Yesterday was momentous, read the thread:

Here we go then, another day in Russia's imperial war on Ukraine

Too many "allies" of Ukraine lacked vision, understanding or balls, or all three and merely tried to stop the punching, while the US now rather sadistically aids the killing while shouting "peace"

It's Monday's🧵
Day 1293 has started quietly, but with politicians back in offices, there may be developments later.

Sunday was a day of violence, recrimination and clearing up after the worst single night's attack in world history, in terms of projectiles.
Review here:
No big developments to report on the ground in Ukraine yet, so let me brief you on two political stories to watch for this afternoon.

The French govt is likely to collapse, meaning a new PM will need to be appointed. Macron may choose very pro-Ukraine Defence Min @SebLecornu Image

Day 1292 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and Sunday begins with Russia again hitting civilians across the country in another massive attack on a sleeping population.

It's gone 5am in🇺🇦, no-one's able to sleep yet, and I'm starting another daily thread before going to bed...
Saturday exploded into life, and death, at night as Russia began what proved to be an enormous launch of drones, then missiles, at various cities across Ukraine.

Review all yesterday's news here:

The scene in Kyiv this morning.
Just before dawn, the skyline is filled with smoke after more terrorist strikes by Russia.

Terrorism and nukes are all Putin has left.
TACO Trump is the weakest US President ever, yet again failing to honour his deadline, refusing to stop Putin.
