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.

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

Day 1359 of Europe's war.
Welcome to Thursday's daily🧵 with all the important news from Ukraine + Russia, without gratuitous gory bits.

Every single day, without a break for holiday or illness, I've been here using my 🇺🇦experience & sources to fact check everything. Let's Go!
Wednesday's thread saw evidence of:
Long-range strikes by Ukraine
Russia Collapsing
Ukraine tackling a major corruption scandal.

Catch up by clicking, scrolling, then coming back here for today's news!

It remained quiet overnight for most in Ukraine, but this morning at least six people have been injured in a Russian strike in Mykolaiv.

Three of the victims are in a 'serious' condition in hospital after the drone attack.

Hello again, thanks for visiting my Ukraine thread on Day 1353

Views/likes are down on both sites I post on: possible war fatigue

It's exactly what Putin wants from the world - to wear us down so we accept a deal to stop the killing
This will embolden Putin & hasten war v NATO
Here's the link for Thursday's thread.
It was a day which saw Ukraine inflict a fair amount of damage on Russia's energy sector and the crisis is nearing for Putin as it cannot export oil.

The energy crisis for Ukraine is about people surviving winter:
I'll start with the battle for Pokrovsk, as DeepState updated the map 40 mins ago.

Zero change in the lines since yesterday.
That's excellent for Ukraine but I fear the cost.

Of course things constantly change in the grey zone but no breakthrough.
Situation today vs a week ago Image

Welcome to November, which becomes the 46th different month to see fighting in Ukraine

And yet Russia is nowhere near its aim of Kyiv in 3 days.
Indeed 1,344 days behind schedule as we start today's thread on Day 1347 of the full invasion

Please think about sending a KoFi💙💛
Friday saw a lot of damage in Russia, an attempted counter-attack in Pokrovsk, Trump blank Orbán, power cuts in Moscow and so much more.

Clicking here⬇️will take you to the start of yesterday's🧵. Scroll through, catch-up then remember to come back here
Ukraine claims to have damaged a key Russian oil pipeline at Ramenskoe in Moscow region.

Their video shows all 3 (gasoline, diesel, aviation) fuel lines of the 400km Koltsevoy pipeline blown up.

The first pic shows guards patrolling, the second shows the explosives attached..
