Hello and welcome to the daily news feed for Day 285 of #Russia's invasion of #Ukraine.

All the important details in one thread, updated throughout the day.

One person's been killed and another 3 injured in a #Russia attack on #KryvyiRih region.

Three rockets struck the ArcelorMittal site in President Zelenskyy's home territory.

A subsequent fire has now been extinguished.

#StopRussia
Fewer aircraft in #Ukraine's skies recently and the #UK MOD explains why in its daily update:

#StandWithUkraine
Another high casualty toll for #Russia in the last 24 hours.

Each day seeing more than 500 invaders killed at the moment. Also today an increase in equipment destroyed.

(#Ukraine estimates)
Occupied #Donetsk was shelled again in the early hours this morning.

This is in the central District of the city.

#DonetskIsUkraine #StopRussia
Wow! Remember the Engels airbase in #Russia where the bombers regular take off from the kill Ukrainians?

Well at some point this morning a drone crashed into the site in #Saratov and damaged two planes.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
In #Kherson a prison was hit during yesterday's shelling.

Some staff were injured although all inmates at the pre-trial detention centre had already been evacuated from the recently liberated city.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
"Postal Terrorism" against #Ukraine and its people continues.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has recorded 21 cases in 12 countries. It follows the latest incidents in #Czechia where animals' eyes were sent to consulates in Brno + Prague

idnes.cz/brno/zpravy/za…
It's now known there's another explosion at another airfield in #Russia.

Earlier a drone hit a base in #Saratov. Now media report "dead and injured" after an oil tanker exploded at the #Ryazan airfield. One plane was also damaged here.

#SlavaUkraini

#RussiaOnFire

This instalment comes from north #Moscow where another case of smoking can be seen on the Leningrad Highway.

A blaze broke out on a construction site not far from Sheremetyevo airport. Officials suggested gas cylinders on the roof were burning.
** URGENT **

Mass missile attack may be heading to #Ukraine right now
⚡️Breaking⚡️

#Ukraine's Defence chiefs say 13 planes in #Russia have fired 8 missiles each.

There is the possibility of a further 16 Cruise Missiles being launched from the Black Sea.

Estimated arrival in #Ukraine is in around 15 minutes
How sickening is it? #Ukraine's people running for shelter, knowing they may likely have no power or even water for hours, maybe days. They have to sit and wait for the terrorist state to strike.

Yet they are forbidden to use NATO weapons to hit #Russia's airbases.
Missiles monitored entering #Ukraine airspace.
If the targets are in #Kyiv it will take another 45 minutes to get there - hopefully air defences can take out most, if not all, of the terror objects.

Air defence in #Kharkiv reported to be working.

#UkraineUnderAttack
Six missiles reported to be downed so far.

In #Kharkiv region, air defence has struck 4 missiles.
One missile shot down in #Dnipropetrovsk region and another in #Poltava.

#UkraineUnderAttack #RussiaIsATerroristState
Three more of #Russia's bombers (Tu-22M3) reported to have just taken to the skies from near the Sea of Azov on #Ukraine's south coast.

#UkraineUnderAttack #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine thinks not all missiles were launched from #Russia's bombers. The forecast is that 30-40 may be en route now, but strong chance of further hits from the same bombers, the Black Sea or recently raised jets in Occupied Ukraine

One more missile shot down in #Zaporizhzhia
Missile captured heading over #Dnipro in central #UkraineRussianWar

#UkraineUnderAttack #RussiaIsATerroristState
Reports that #Ukraine pilots have shot down two more missiles heading to #Kyiv region.

#UkraineUnderAttack #RussiaIsATerroristState
⚡️Breaking⚡️
#Odesa / #Odessa

Smoke seen. Earlier reports that air defence was working there, so hopefully a downed missiles rather than a direct strike.

#UkraineUnderAttack #RussiaIsATerroristState
Sombre mood in #Kyiv - metro is the nearest shelter for many.

#UkraineUnderAttack #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Zaporizhzhia / #Zaporozhe

Some residents report water has gone off following the earlier explosions in the region.

#UkraineUnderAttack #RussiaIsATerroristState
Another of #Russia's terrorist missiles screams over #Dnipro region

#UkraineUnderAttack #RussiaIsATerroristState
Two explosions reported in #Kyiv region, and another in #Odesa

#Zaporizhzhia region - several private houses badly damaged in the missile attack.

This has happened in the village of #Novosofivka

Some injuries reported. No further details yet.

Defiance in #Kharkiv
💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

#UkraineUnderAttack #RussiaIsATerroristState
It's being reported some supersonic missiles have been fired by #Russia in today's barrage.
However there is often misinformation at such times - don't jump to conclusions and believe everything you read.

Meanwhile strong fire in #Odesa after strikes there.

#UkraineUnderAttack
Short video clip after the missile strikes in #Odesa/#Odessa

#UkraineUnderAttack #RussiaIsATerroristState
Unconfirmed reports of an explosion at #Russia's airfield on occupied #Crimea.

Meanwhile the Terrorist State says work on the Crimea Bridge (#Kerch) has been completed and traffic is flowing freely.
Whether it can stand the weight of military convoys yet remains to be seen.
There is also a report of a Russian missile landing in #Moldova.

Unknown whether it was knocked off course, or if they again decide it was an anti-aircraft missile fired by #Ukraine.
Deleted & updating this tweet:

Photos emerge from northern #Moldova where part of a missile landed during #Russia's attack.

It's near the town of Brychany. Observers think it's an acceleration unit of a S-300 missile. Possibly used by #Ukraine air-defence.

#UkraineUnderAttack
The first wave of #Russia's missile attack is over and the general reaction is that #Ukraine's air defences worked well.

In the eastern #Poltava region alone, six Cruise missiles were intercepted. Probably around 40-50 were fired in this wave, other waves may happen.
President @ZelenskyyUa has praised #Ukraine's Air Defence forces for managing to shoot down most of the Cruise missiles fired by #Russia this lunchtime.

He made this short statement after the attack.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SlavaUkraini
Earlier I reported on the explosion at the Diagilevo airfield in #Ryazan.

Now #Russia blames #Ukraine for both today's blasts at airports.

The Kremlin claims at Diagilevo there was "insignificant shrapnel damage". Really? Could've fooled me.
#Ukraine says it shot down 60 of the 70 missiles launched by #Russia today.

38 Kh-101/Kh-555 cruise missiles were fired from Tu-95 bombers.

Another 22 Calibre cruise missiles came from Black Sea ships as did 10 other missiles including Kh-22 supersonic rockets.

#StopRussia
A 🇺🇦Commander has told #Ukraine TV of big developments in #Kherson region

Nikolai Volokhov says #Russia's positions on the left bank came under fire control and were then destroyed. He added the enemy tried to dig into the beach but still got wiped out.

More🇺🇦 flags there soon?
Shelling of #Kherson today saw more residential buildings hit.

This on Admiral Sentavin, a couple of kilometres from downtown.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
A surprise in #Czechia today...

A new statue appeared of Putin in #Prague. But pro-Ukraine supporters approve of this one!

ceskenoviny.cz/zpravy/na-mist…
Insanity. Honestly there are only madmen leading these two countries.

Tuesday 6 December, also known as Day 286 of the #RussiaUkraine war: this is the daily news 🧵

#Russia's illegal invasion continues to make no ground, so they bomb civilian targets.

Y'day's barrage was well defended by #Ukraine
See what you missed here:

A warning that for the next few days the updates may be a little slower than normal, or go missing completely - dependent firstly on my travel and secondly on power/connection in #Ukraine.

Today is my first return since February.
Thanks to those who already sent good wishes
It's a special day in #Ukraine too - The Day of the Armed Forces.
There is literally a day for anything and everything (a Soviet relic), but today is very important, especially in current times

To all the heroes, helping the Armed Forces in any way - we salute you.

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.

Day 283 of #Russia's war of choice on #Ukraine is with us.

Again a relatively quite night in the #RussiaUkraineWar. but still news coming up of rocket attacks by Russia and more heavy losses for the invaders.

All the news, all day, in one thread, read on!⬇️
As always, a quick link for yesterday's thread in case you missed anything, such as the #USA naming the #Wagner group and another rebellion among #Russia's newly mobilised (cannon fodder)

I estimated 100,000 Russian soldiers would be killed shortly after the "western"/Catholic Christmas. Now it looks like it will happen just before then as high losses continue for #Russia

As well as another 500+ killed, an uptick in drone hits and a helicopter brought down.

#RussiansGoHome #SaveUkraine

This points out how retreating brings further problems. #Russia now inviting #Ukraine's artillery to be able to hit more important targets.
