Hi there. A new week, but unexpectedly the same country for me as I try to start the daily #RussiaUkraineConflict news thread.

Day 292 of #Russia's full scale war on #Ukraine

Here's the link for yesterday:

So I'm still on the same train. 15 hours after boarding. No communication from staff sadly. Hours stood in the countryside with no wifi, phone signal and for a while the train lost light, heat and power.

We are approaching the #Poland border now.
I was able to take pretty pics!
Not had chance to read the news yet. But have seen the daily losses for #Russia increase significantly following the successful #HIMARS strikes on enemy bases in #Kadiivka and #Melitopol in particular.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Already I'm seeing reports of ANOTHER strike by #Ukraine on a Russian barracks in #Melitopol area.

A school in Maiske was hit with around 150 invaders staying there at the time. Deaths unknown yet.

#StopRussia
#RussiaOnFire

Yet ANOTHER shopping centre blazing near #Moscow.

This is looking like more than coincidence now. Sabotage?

It's the #Stroypark mall in Balashikha.
Not much in the British Intel update today. #Russia still thinks it can regain all four partially occupied oblasts in #Ukraine
v kontse kontsov!

At last!

Getting off the train!
One woman's died and four others have been injured in the latest rocket attacks in #Kherson city.

Several apartments in one of the high-rise buildings caught after #Russia's shelling of civilian homes in the Cotton Mill district, half way to #Antonivka

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Noteworthy news that #Putin won't be holding his traditional big "New Year" press conference before.

It will be the first time a decade that the dictator won't address the Russian nation at the holiday period.
#RussiaOnFire again!

This was filmed at the synthetic rubber factory in #Nizhnekamsk (Russia).

10,000 square meter burned.
For anyone interested in my personal travel problems,
After the 1 hour train journey from #Kyiv, I've had to book a whole new ticket home and looking at how packed Krakow airport is, with cancelled flights to UK and elsewhere in Europe, guess I'm lucky to be able bag a ticket.
By the way, about 6 inches of snow in Krakow and still snowing. Flights are landing and departing fine!
Earlier today two people were killed in the free part of #Donesk oblast.

Another 10 civilians were injured in #Hirnyk village after rockets landed in the centre of the settlement.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
The #UK may be willing to give #Ukraine longer range weapons.

Defence Secretary @BWallaceMP said he is “open minded” about giving Kyiv the weapons systems they crave, if #Russia continues to target civilian areas, adding he “constantly” reviews the situation.

#SaveUkraine
Another traitor has been hit by #Ukraine's Resistance movement in #Kherson oblast.

Vitaliy Bulyuk is supposedly a senior aide to #Russia's puppet head of the remaining occupied part of Kherson. Today he survived a car bomb in #Skadovsk, but suffered injuries.

#StandWithUkraine
#Russia is now using #Ukraine's own weapons against it. The then super hi-tech Kh-55s were voluntarily given up by #Ukraine as part of the Budapest Memorandum. That agreement to guarantee Ukrainian borders was shamefully ignored by #uk and #usa
More explosions heard in #Melitopol tonight.
2 blasts reported but exact location, or even if it is missile attack, unknown.

As regular followers will know I've long thought hitting Melitopol followed by reclaiming the city is best tacticnright now. Head south, cut supply lines
I didn't want to post anything about this earlier but while on the train earlier a huge train on another track had its cargo concealed but had Slovakian markings.

Methinks some of the Slovak gear has already artived💙💛
It will be interesting to see exactly what has been hit in Occupied #Melitopol region this evening.

A bridge linking Melitopol with Kostyantynivka is one target picked off.

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.

Day 1366 of the war in Europe is the start of two days of mourning in a small city in Ukraine which suffered over 160 killed and injured in a single Russia attack 24 hours ago.

As the war crimes mount, Trump approves a mad-hat simpleton's plan to end the war

Here's THE daily🧵
Here's the link for the start of Wednesday's🧵
I posted 65 stories - that equates to a post every 22 minutes throughout the entire 24 hours.

Psychologically a devastating day for Ukraine. Being murdered by Russia, being abandoned by the USA.

A reminder US officials are in Kyiv, due to meet Zelenskyy, when Ukraine's president knows he will have to tell the Americans to shove the surrender document up Witkoff's "White House pass"

Is Rubio undermining the WH plan?
It's certainly not realistic and without 🇷🇺concessions Image

Welcome to another daily thread covering all the important things happening in Ukraine right now, and therefore by (unwanted association) Russia too.

All things fact checked, analysed and explained.
The news you can rely on, every day, in one place.

It's Day 1361. I'm late!⏰
Well I had a lovely lie-in as, all things considered it was a relatively news-free morning

My "bitter enders" (those who make it through to the very end of the🧵) will know there was a big attack on Dnipro which kept me reporting late.
Missed it? click⬇️
One thing I've had to do is wade through Trump's interview on GB News. It's actually been worthwhile because it's a wonderful example I can use to train what NOT to do!

Main points being:
1'48" to ask a question is dreadful
Such simpering loses all credibility before you begin

The first few hours of Day 1360 of Russia's genocidal war started with Ukrainians in shelters. More innocent lives have been claimed by the Moscow horde.

The west unable or unwilling to stop the slaughter despite 1000s of war crimes.
We're not incapable, must not be unwilling.
One of the heaviest bombardments Kyiv has ever known dominated y'day's thread and the start of today's.

But Ukraine also continues to pick-off financial targets inside Russia

It all made for one of the longest🧵 so far - the least you can do is read it!
1/2
I am not starting in Kyiv though, because this Friday morning has already seen more murder and another clear terrorist attack by Russia.

A UAV smashed into the town centre of Chornomorsk, another Black Sea port just south of Odesa

2 dead, 7 injured

Day 1359 of Europe's war.
Welcome to Thursday's daily🧵 with all the important news from Ukraine + Russia, without gratuitous gory bits.

Every single day, without a break for holiday or illness, I've been here using my 🇺🇦experience & sources to fact check everything. Let's Go!
Wednesday's thread saw evidence of:
Long-range strikes by Ukraine
Russia Collapsing
Ukraine tackling a major corruption scandal.

Catch up by clicking, scrolling, then coming back here for today's news!

It remained quiet overnight for most in Ukraine, but this morning at least six people have been injured in a Russian strike in Mykolaiv.

Three of the victims are in a 'serious' condition in hospital after the drone attack.

Hello again, thanks for visiting my Ukraine thread on Day 1353

Views/likes are down on both sites I post on: possible war fatigue

It's exactly what Putin wants from the world - to wear us down so we accept a deal to stop the killing
This will embolden Putin & hasten war v NATO
Here's the link for Thursday's thread.
It was a day which saw Ukraine inflict a fair amount of damage on Russia's energy sector and the crisis is nearing for Putin as it cannot export oil.

The energy crisis for Ukraine is about people surviving winter:
I'll start with the battle for Pokrovsk, as DeepState updated the map 40 mins ago.

Zero change in the lines since yesterday.
That's excellent for Ukraine but I fear the cost.

Of course things constantly change in the grey zone but no breakthrough.
Situation today vs a week ago Image
