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
bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur…
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.

I'll quote a favourite saying in Ukraine.
Day 1579 of Russia's war 'didn't start with coffee' especially in occupied Crimea.

Here comes another of my daily threads, with all the important news from Ukraine, and I've still not missed a single day.
Those with me just a few hours ago will already know the early hours saw a huge attack on Crimea.

Before that more war crimes from Russia, while the Poland-Ukraine spat spirals out of control.
Missed anything? Here's the link to catch-up:

Many targets in Crimea have been hit, indeed on both sides of the illegal bridge linking Russia with the annexed peninsula.

Energy infrastructure have been hit, causing power cuts in Sevastopol, Alushta, Krasnoperekopsk + Armiansk among others.

Half of June has already gone and still no resolution to the war in Ukraine. But Moscow is reaping what is sows.

This is THE daily thread for Tuesday - all the news every single day.

We've reached Day 1574
I keep garnering new followers, but X keeps taking followers away without them choosing to unfollow.
But daily views of the thread are slowly increasing again, now around 12k a day.
But we used to be at 25-30k

Y'day was another important and long thread:

Ukraine delivered a message to Moscow during the night. The message was delivered by Dr One in spectacular fashion.

Here's the translated meaning of Magyar's team, the day after Ukraine's most important religious site was hit by the war criminals. Image

It's Day 1573 and the attempted genocide by Russia continued through the night.

Killing the people of Ukraine, its first responders and the most sacred religious site in the country.

The world looks on, shaking its head. If Putin's Nazism isn't stopped, it will reach you soon.
This is THE daily thread with fact-checked news of everything that's happening in Ukraine (and Russia).

The overnight attack by Russia was already underway when I finished Sunday's thread - here's the link if you missed anything on a busy day:

1/3
The main temple of Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra is over 1,000 years old.

The Assumption Cathedral was built in 1078, three centuries before Moscow existed.

The Mongols badly damaged it in the 13th century.
700 years later it was blown up in WWII
Now the new Nazi invaders did this:

Day 1560 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and this morning Russia's predicted massive attack has arrived.

Multiple civilians have been murdered and the number is growing.
As I always say, this happens because we in the west have been too weak to stop it.

Here's the daily🧵
There was a lot of destruction yesterday too, though Ukraine stuck to hitting military logistics and fuel targets.

It's caused continuing near-panic for invading Russians, and results can be seen at gas stations.
Catch-up here:

This morning, not just Kyiv badly attacked.
In fact, at the moment, more people are known to have died in Dnipro then the capital and that's where I'll start.

5 killed and 25 injured there plus 3 more wounded in Kamianske in the wider region. Image

Hello again.
Day 1552. A holiday in many countries "Whit Monday" in most, Spring holiday in others (inc UK) and Memorial Day in the U.S

But after 4 years and 3 months, memorials are still being made in Ukraine because our leaders, collectively, let them down.
Here's the daily🧵
I'm still not quite sure where Saturday ended and Sunday began - the days merged into one for me.
What I do know is there were >120 new posts over the 48 hours, that's an average one story every 24 minutes, over the entire two days.

Here's Sunday's link:
1/2
There are new murderous attacks by Russia already today in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Explosions have been heard in the city of Dnipro after an alert for ballistic missiles. Smoke can be seen, but no initial news of widespread damage, so hopefully air defence did its job. Image

Here we go again then. Day 1550 of Ukrainians wondering if they, their home, their relatives, will be bombed today.

About 16 million people have been born in the US and 15m in the EU since Russia started its full invasion of Ukraine.

Welcome to Saturday's daily🧵
Friday was a cracking thread, with vodka cheaper than a single tomato, legless Russians celebrating, Moscow claiming a college in occupied Luhansk wasn't housing Rubicon pilots and their drones and Ukraine causing more mayhem deep inside Russia.

#UkraineSanctions have been successfully employed again!

Lots of action in Russia last night, even before I closed the thread. Around 8am this morning another Ukraine strike in Perm' region, a distance of about 1700km.
