It's Day 288 of #Russia's invasion of peaceful #Ukraine. Where once there were close ties, #Putin has ripped them apart and set his nation back years, maybe decades

Welcome to another daily thread, live from #Ukraine, I'll do what I can but it's difficult to be able to post much
Not too busy so far today (thankfully)

Here's the link to yesterday's thread on the #RussiaUkraineWar:

#Russia's daily losses slowing a little but still on course to hit 100,000 dead soldiers sometime around "western" Christmas (25 Dec)

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine Image
There were reports of an explosion today in #Sevastopol, the major city on #Crimea.

#Russia's occupiers say a drone was shot down by its air defence.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
The trial of a Russian oligarch's son in #Norway has cleared him of drone charges and potential spying.

The #UN publishes a long awaited report detailing Russian army executions in northern #Ukraine during the early part of the war when the region was under occupation.

#Russia has now moved a MLRS to the nuclear power plant at #Enerhodar.

That's the allegation made by #Ukraine today and they've asked the @iaeaorg to ugently investigate and have the grad removed.
US Basketball star Brittney Griner has been released.

She was arrested at around the same time the war with #Ukraine started.

It's a prisoner swap with #Russia's arms dealer Viktor Bout released from US prison.
The swap happened earlier today in UAE.
Another landmine tragedy in #Ukraine

Earlier today in #Zhytomyr region, a couple's car exploded on the road near the village of Olev.

The 38 year old man and his 32 year old wife died.
Their 8 children are now orphaned

#SaveUkraine
Reaction from the President on the release of #BrittneyGriner from a Russian prison.

But no news of Paul Whelan, who is still languishing in jail in #Russia.

The rebuilding of the reputation of #Ukraine's (one time) richest man continues

Rinat Akhmetov was long distrusted by many Ukrainians for his support of the former Opposition Bloc (pro-RU) party

But #Shakhtar's owner also became #Ukraine's biggest donor despite losing billions Image
Still a lot of roadblocks and remains of roadblocks from the time when parts of #Kyiv were under occupation. These pics near the border with #Chernihiv region.

And thanks to Sarah, William, Lily and John for their support, donating coffee in the last 24 hours of my trip. ImageImageImage

Today is not only Quarter Finals day at the world cup for #England (I have my fingers crossed for no power cuts 9pm-midnight here in #Kyiv)..

It's also Day 290 of #Russia's full invasion and unprovoked attack on #Ukraine

Here's the link for Friday's news
Yesterday the #USA announced that #Russia and #Iran have made a deeper agreement.
Today the daily update from the #UK Defence Intelligence picks up on the matter:

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine Image
The number of #Russia's soldiers remains quite high if you actually think about the waste, the grieving families. However the totals this week well down on the peak figures.

Hello and welcome to Day 289 of the inhumane war in #Ukraine.

My day started like this, no power, no WiFi, no signal... Then woken by the schoolboy error of leaving the light switch on, so at 03.45 here I am starting another daily thread documenting #Russia's crimes: Image
Mind you, Thursday ended like this with friends, so not all bad!

Also here's a pic I couldn't post yesterday, to give you an idea of how tricky it is to move around #Ukraine in winter with no street lights and compacted snow in some areas. ImageImage
Questions should be asked in #Melbourne about who allowed this event to go ahead.

Thanks to @NMAsiaPac for alerting me to this, but the good news is the tickets were free and boycotting NAFO members have already booked them all!

Hello and welcome to the daily thread on the #RussiaUkraineWar today coming live from #Ukraine.

At the start of Day 287 I crossed the border and I'm still on the train as the snow gets heavier and thicker.

If anyone wants to buy me a coffee I'd be very appreciative. Dyakuyu!
A fairly quiet night in #Ukraine - but as always if you need to catch up on yesterday's news, it's all in one handy place. Here's the start of yesterday's thread:

Last night we saw enemy drones being shot down. The #Iran Shaheed "Kamikaze" UAVs returning in numbers to the skies over #Ukraine.

At least 8 were shot down, mainly in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

This one was destroyed in #Zhytomyr region having flown through #Kyiv

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.
