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:

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.

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!

While I was offline yesterday, President Zelenskyy paid tribute to the separate landmine incidents which killed innocent people in #Ukraine this week.
He pointed out that 170,000 square kilometres of previously occupied territory remains dangerous because of #Russia's landmines.

#Ukraine should get more help from the #USA today
A new $275 million package of military equipment will be announced, including 80,000 #HIMARS/Howitzer shells and high-tech systems.
The value is slightly lower than the previous package as US expects a winter slowdown in the war

Yesterday evening 3 people were wounded in this attack in #Kharkiv region.
Air defence shot down some of #Russia's missiles but one rocket struck this private home where one man and two women were injured.

Reports coming in of a strike on another of #Russia's ammunition stockpiles in the occupied south of #Kherson oblast.
This is unverified, but from a reliable channel. They say the recording is from the village of Novomykolaivka, which is 20km north-west of #Skadovsk

Still no photos or proof of strikes at the airport in occupied #Berdyansk.
Multiple reports from locals spoke of up to 20 explosions. The town, with a pre-war population of around 100,000 was the first large settlement to be captured by #Russia in February.

US Congress has been told "#Russia is using tactics of ISIS, where terrorists try to kill as many civilians as possible so that people would be afraid to return to their homes."
Russians "loot homes, including children's toys, even the bodies of the dead"

Another shopping centre is ablaze near #Moscow right now.
The MegaKhimki mall is in #Khimki, about 25km north-west of #Russia's capital.

Wow! That fire at the shopping centre on the outskirts of #Moscow escalated quickly.
One whole side of the Mega mall in #Khimki was wiped out when something exploded inside.
Don't shed tears - remember #RussiaIsATerroristState

#Ukraine's forests look beautiful in winter.
I hope when Russia is defeated, many tourists will come to support the economy and discover many fascinating places in the country.

Over 7.5 hours drive back to #Kyiv from deep in #Sumy oblast, near the border with #Russia.
Snow, fog, potholes and checkpoints slowing things down.
Nice to meet some of the defenders of #Ukraine.
Thanks to everyone involved today - you know who you are💙💛

British PM Rishi Sunak promising "more anti-air guns and further short range air defence missiles would arrive in the coming weeks."

#Ukraine's General Staff this evening reports around 50 Russian mercenaries were hospitalised in #Luhansk region today alone.
The claim the enemy's injured were taken to #Kadiivka (RU: #Stakhanov) for treatment.
This seems to be from general fighting and not a pinpoint attack.

This evening in #Kyiv a loud explosion worried some residents. But this was a gas cannister exploding at a stall near the Vasylkivska metro station.
At least two people were burned in the ensuing blaze. Another video circulating shows a naked man with his feet on fire.

#Kyiv has finally been able to switch back to the planned power outages rather than the potential emergency total blackout.
However, this is the schedule for where I'm staying. White is when there is power.
Grey you may be lucky!

Another warning to anyone thinking of protesting in #Russia. Putin and his cronies only cling on to power by terrorising their own people as well as those in #Ukraine.
At least the latter fights for its rights. Russians need to rise up.

Potential good news for #Ukraine comes from the #UnitedNations.
#Belarus has indicated it will allow transit of Ukrainian grains through the country to reach ports in #Lithuania.

Finally for Friday, I need to mention what happened in #Donetsk today.
Rockets rained down on the occupied city - it's always difficult to know exactly what happened. At least three people were reported dead.
The most dramatic footage probably this from Voroshilovsky district.
