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 1254. Eight more til Trump Sanctions Day.

Putin's response was to bomb the cr*p out of Ukraine's capital again overnight.

It's decency against inhumanity. Which side are you on?

Welcome to THE daily thread.
Wednesday was a fairly quiet day, punctuated by the odd Russian missile attack, before another enormous attack centre on Kyiv.. and it's still going on.

But Ukraine hit back in Russia.
Missed anything? Click and scroll, but please come back!

Five missiles are over Kyiv right now.
I hope everyone's safely in shelters.

Tuesday 29 July. Day 1252.
Documenting all the important stories and developments in Ukraine's ongoing fight for survival against an invading horde.

Every Single Day. No break, no days off.
All the news from the war in Europe, all the time.
Monday was probably a better day for Ukraine.
We saw Trump appear to lose patience with indicted war criminal Putin, we saw a Ukraine flag replanted in one reclaimed village & late in the thread more strikes on Russia's rail infrastructure.

Catch up here
I'll begin in Rostov region, where earlier Ukraine hit railway infrastructure in the town of Salsk.

Pretty much the whole of the rail network in Rostov oblast is crucial to Russia's military. The proximity to occupied parts of Ukraine & the route to Crimea run through here. Image

Day 1249 of terrorism being inflicted on Ukraine.

It's been another very difficult night as Russia pounds major cities with combined attacks.

I'm still documenting all the war crimes - no sleep yet, please support my work with a KoFi (link in profile)

Here's Saturday's thread
Russia's night time attack is continuing.
Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions have been most badly hit.

You can read about most of the attack towards the end of Friday's thread - it's another big one and here's the link for the start; click & scroll..

This is the shocking sight in Dnipro after the latest of many missile attacks on the city and wider region this morning.

Day 1247
It's never ending. At least it feels like it after another sleepless night and "peace talks" that lasted 40 minutes and Russia still refusing Trump's demand for a ceasefire, which Ukraine agreed to 135 days ago.

All the news, all the time, it's the daily Ukraine🧵
A quick reminder if you appreciate my work (and lack of sleep) you can donate coffee via the link in my bio🙏

But this is the link you probably really want! To check back on all yesterday's news, especially when Russia was attacked late at night.

So last night ended with a lot of damage in southern Ukraine & southern Russia

Part of the damage in the Sochi/Adler are of Krasnodar region seems to have been self-inflicted.

Here's a new video of what seems to be Russian air defence missing but landing harmlessly this time.

You've found the start of another daily thread. I've not missed one day since Russia's full invasion, bringing all the Ukraine news in one handy thread every single day.

It's Day 1246, let's begin.
A late finish last night for me (yeah, not unusual), so a later start.

But not due to a massive Russian attack, but because of the political situation & public backlash

Another bumper thread, big Ukraine street protests for the 1st time in years in here
The biggest thing today will hopefully be the resumption of talks between Ukraine and Russia.

The meeting will again take place in Istanbul, starting at 7pm UKR time, 5PM BST, noon EST.
Venue is the Çırağan Palace - can't wait to hear reporters butcher that name😂 [Cheer-raan] Image

Day 1245
One thousand, two hundred + forty-five days of battling to survive against what was said to be the world's 2nd greatest army.

Ukraine's resistance has been heroic but still a lot of work to do.

I'm starting Tuesday's thread before sleep as the air attack just ended.
Monday's thread was another 50-post marathon

A lot of problems for Russia, with drones, planes, trains and the elements. But another major Ukraine city was hit in the early hours of this morning.
All yesterday's news is here, click and scroll to catch-up
Straight to events in Odesa then.
At around 2am Russian drones descended on the city.

There seem to be 3 sites of damage - though at least one may be debris damage.

Mayor Hennadiy Trukhanov, a great self publicist, released a video after visiting the site of the worst damage.
