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.
#HeroiamSlava
It was noticeable that most, if not all, #Russia's missiles were launched at sea - even bombers from Saratov flew towards the Caspian before unleashing their deadly load

A military expert says it's because so many old missiles fail and will fall in water:
24tv.ua/rosiyski-raket…
The latest satellite photos from @Maxar of the Engels airbase in #Russia are interesting.

Here you can compare the new image with one a week ago. It seems fewer aircraft and activity (though it's a small sample size) and are those scorch marks on the ground from explosions? ImageImage
#Russia has already hit #Zaporizhzhia (RU: #Zaporozhe) this morning.

Governor Oleksandr Starukh confirmed rockets hit the outskirts of Zaporizhzhia city with one striking the Stepnyan Territorial Community.

There is damage to infrastructure, but thought to be no casualties. ImageImage
⚡️Breaking⚡️

Another air base hit in #Russia

This video from #Kursk where the regional governor says a drone attack caused an oil storage tanker to explode. No victims reported.

It seems the clever Russkies moved all their air defences to #Ukraine, leaving airfields exposed!
Another video of the fire at the #Kursk airfield.
It's the third airbase in #Russia to be hit in 2 days.

Russians say a drone hit an oil storage tanker here
#SlavaUkraini
In #Debaltseve (#Donetsk oblast) early this morning, "chandelier" explosives were seen.

Often mistaken for phosporus munitions, these are usually used to light up an area for tactical reasons.
Just seen this video, reportedly from yesterday.

A #Ukraine BUK superbly knocking out one of #Russia's missiles.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
Also some morning action in #Donetsk to report.

This is the view in the Leninskyi district of the occupied city right now.

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine Image
And more from #Donetsk oblast.

An explosion in #Olenivka (RU: Yelenovka), 20km south-west of the occupied city.

Olenivka is where #Russia bombed the prison full of Ukrainian Prisoners of War.

#DonetskIsUkraine #StandWithUkraine Image
#Russia is claiming #Ukraine is shelling the industrial zone of the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in #Enerhodar.

Regional Russian puppet Volodymyr Rogov made the claim.. It's impossible to prove which side is firing on the plant, but the truth is Russians shouldn't be there at all
Just wow.

The @UN Security Council is to hold a meeting on #Ukraine.

#Russia, which started the illegal war, and has kidnapped thousands of Ukrainian kids, is to "raise the issue of child protection"

This makes me really, really angry!
A news group in #Melitopol' reports another collaborator has probably gone to visit the good ship Moskva!

They say Kolya Volyk was likely killed in explosions this morning at the airfield just outside the town.

#SlavaUkraini Image
#Ukrine's apparent sudden ability to strike way into #Russia's territory is still the 'talk of the town', even in London.

The UK's MOD speculates harsh punishment for some scapegoats who "let it happen", and this was written before they knew of today's strike in #Kursk. Image
And now the daily figures showing #Russia's estimated losses* in their disastrous attempt to wipe #Ukraine off the map.

Again more than 500 lives sacrificed for the "Tsar".
Equipment losses remain fairly low except for the big leap in cruise missiles destroyed.

* by Ukraine Image
A month ago Russians loved drones and celebrated the death and destruction heaped on #Ukraine with #Iran's weapons.

They don't seem so keen now after another likely 🇺🇦strike, this time in #Bryansk on the Slava plant - the second attack there in a week.

#SlavaUkraini
3 blasts reported by locals in #Kramatorsk.

This is the view of the #Donetsk city, looking north from #Druzhkivka. Both places are effectively on the frontline considering easy artillery range.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine Image
Another fairly large prisoner swap has taken place with both #Russia and #Ukraine releasing 60 POWs, two of whom are women. 15 are officers

Here are the freed Ukrainians; they include 14 who were in the #Azovstal siege, in total 34 defended #Mariupol'

#HeroiamSlava #SaveUkraine
Our friends at @UKRinROU today became the latest embassy to receive suspicious packages as #PostalTerror continues.

Police were called and took the items away - no news on their contents yet.

📷Inquam Photos ImageImage
#Russia's occupiers say 6 people were killed in shelling in #Donetsk today.

Shells hit the city's youth centre, the South Bus Station area, the Golden Ring shopping centre and the Yellow shopping centre in the centre.

A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.

With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.

Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv Image

Welcome to another daily thread - THE place for honest assessment and analysis of all the news around Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1214 of the full-scale war. I still have an unblemished record - every single day.

Why not show your support with a ☕️?

Russia displayed outright Nazism + Fascism on Friday.

From killing in Ukraine, more utterings from the war-criminal in chief, to locking up young women and taking legal action against small independent new sites.

8 missiles and 272 drones were fired at Ukraine overnight.

ALL Russian missiles were trained on Kremenchuk, but Ukraine claims NONE reached their targets, including 2 x Kindzhals (5 shot, 3 EW)

In addition 252 UAVs were stopped (93%)
140 being shot down, 112 stopped with EW. Image

Thursday 19 June is Day 1212 of the conflict in Europe.

Russia continues to make ground, expending its soldiers at will for a few more metres as Ukraine fights for its existence having been shamefully let down by the USA.

I'm here every single day, so here's today's daily 🧵
Wednesday saw the death toll in Kyiv rise throughout the day, ending at double the number it started at. Then later Putin cynically told journalists they only hit military targets

Elsewhere another traitor to Ukraine met his fate - click here to catch-up
Another milestone is reached.

Trump is now 150 days late in promising "peace within 24 hours" of taking office.

It's also, as @andrii_sybiha points out, 100 days since🇺🇦 agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, as tRUmp demanded.
Russia did what it always does: delay, lie, kill. Image

Tuesday 17 June 2025.

No time to waste. Kyiv is under the most immense attack.

It's Day 1210 of Russia's increasingly desperate attempt to eviscerate Ukraine and all Ukrainians.

Here's the daily thread, continuing to document the night attacks...
Just gone 04:35 in Kyiv.
A hellish night is not yet over.
Apartment blocks, student dormitories hit.
6 districts of Kyiv city damaged, plus other injuries in the wider region

Here's the link for Monday's thread with all the last half showing the chaos:
If you're just waking up, here's an idea of what's happened to Kyiv while you were sleeping.

Ukraine's capital has not slept.
Many are without homes due to Russia's ongoing war crimes and one person, an American, has lost his life during the attack. Image

Hello again. Day 1203 of Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine

Anyone with a brain slightly larger than that of a chihuahua knows it. Russian history and Putin's own words spelt it out, but peaceniks, Naziniks and idiotniks are still in denial

More proof coming up in🧵for Day 1203
Yesterday's thread lasted well over 24 hours, but nothing to be proud of.

I know I'm crazier than you, and thankfully you all have lives to live. So you will be needing the link to the start of yesterday's thread so you can catch up on what you missed..

Genocide - a short thread within a🧵
I am simply staggered governments and world organisations are too weak to acknowledge the mountain of evidence.

The recent huge missile attacks should be enough, but useful idiots are fooled by Russia's plausible deniability.

A very early start to my daily thread on Day 1202 of Russia's 3 day 'special operation' to capture Kyiv.

It's so special Putin just doesn't want it to stop!

It's another no-sleep night as I start Monday's news feed on all things Ukraine.

Thanks for your support, I rely on you
Another huge Russian attack continues as I type. It could be the biggest yet.

The attack started about half way through yesterday's thread! So catch up here if you're just waking up.

The biggest problem in Ukraine tonight has been for Dubno, in Rivne region.

Heavily attacked in the evening, but now as light bathes the town, it's even worse. All cruise missiles in Ukraine are about to hit, and 3 drones too.
