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.

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

Now she's targeting those who profit by helping Russia

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.

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.

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.

The war in Europe continues. This is Day 1445 of Russia's attempt to erase Ukraine from the map & destroy its language and culture.

The genocide continues as I type, with a massive missile attack underway.

For all the news as it happens, keep checking back. This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday started with a supposed assassination attempt on another very senior Russian soldier.

A load of other great stories too, including the start of the overnight attack on Ukraine's remaining energy facilities. Catch up on what you missed here:

Having seen around 200 attack drones flying at the height of Russia's attack tonight, there are now around half that.

Day 1444 of Russia's merciless war has begun with the invaders losing another Lieutenant General - has Ukraine's special services struck again?

Detail on all the stories, all day, every day in my daily thread. Let's Go!
Thursday's thread included the release of a relatively small number of POWs - but finally some Azov fighters were freed.

And double delight for Ukraine tennis fans, to offset a little of the pain of more Russian attacks.
If you missed anything, click⬇️

So, Russia's reporting (which doesn't necessarily make it true) that one of the most senior Generals has been shot.

Lt Gen Vladimir Alekseev is said to be alive and in hospital after the attack in Moscow.

What makes me a little suspicious is there are no photos from the scene. Image

It's Monday, the second day of the 2nd month.
Day 1440 of Russia's illegal full invasion of its sovereign neighbour.

As we approach another round of "peace talks", Russia seems to be preparing by committing an ever growing number of sickening war crimes.

This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday was one of those days when I was repeatedly sickened by the actions of the monsters from Moscow.

The "energy truce" broken by attacking a bus of civilian miners heading to work. A medical building inc. a maternity unit hit, and more
Review here
Monday is a day of mourning in Dnipropetrovsk region following the deliberate targeting of a bus in the small town of Ternivka, near Pavlohrad.

16 people were killed. Another 14 are in hospital, seven of whom are in a serious condition.

Saturday 27 December 2025 is Day 1403 of Russia's war of choice.

The day began with missile attacks on Ukraine shortly after midnight and the terrorism continued with drone strikes, may into residential areas, with Kyiv bearing the brunt of the damage.

Here's THE daily thread
Here's the link to yesterday's thread, which started with Russian murders, missiles on streets in Kharkiv and ended with the missile attack on Kyiv.

But there were also 'direct sanctions' taken by Ukraine on war criminals and military targets:

News is still coming in from Kyiv especially after the awful bombardment. Mayor of the city, @Vitaliy_Klychko has just issued an update saying 28 people have been injured, with 13 hospitalised

Although the city's had the air raid warning lifted, it's still affecting Kyiv region Image

Christmas Eve is another milestone as we mark the latest 100 days of war

Yes, it's Day 1400 of Ukraine's fight for its existence.
Coming up:
Zelenskyy accepts peace plan but are we really nearer peace?
A twist in Moscow's 2nd car bomb in 24 hours.
And all the news yet to happen
A very late start today - I apologise but it's Christmas time with things to do, places to go and also my body demanding enough sleep to survive!

So we start as usual with the throwback to yesterday for you to catch up, which included car bomb #2..

The seemingly random attack on police officers in Moscow last night, may have been a Ukraine targeted attack.

Two "traffic officers" died overnight on the same street where a Lt Gen was eliminated the day before.
Now it's reported the dead were in Ukraine and tortured civilians Image

This is the start of Tuesday's daily thread, with all the important news from, and relevant to, Ukraine in one handy place.

It's Day 1385 and I've still never missed a day of fact checking, analysing and reporting every aspect of the defence against Russia's illegal war.
Yesterday a lot of talking behind the scenes, but politicians were broadly tight-lipped on progress.

Russia did make more small gains on the frontline, but we also found a cat with burned whiskers + how Russian pilots' head-tennis went disastrously wrong
Pres Zelenskyy's whirlwind tour continues, arriving in Rome this morning to meet the Pope at Castle Gandolfo.

At Villa Barberini, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was welcomed by the vice-regent of the papal household, Augustinian Father Edward Daniang Daleng.
