Hello again. It's Day 295 of the #RussiaUkraineWar
It's Thursday 15 December and this is the daily thread with the news, views and analysis as #Ukraine fights for its very existence.

Quite a lot happened yesterday, if you need to catch up, scroll here:

https://twitter.com/TWMCLtd/status/1602917734723059712

A lot of damage to #Kherson yesterday, and more deaths and misery.

Already in the early hours more MLRS rocket attacks reported. Not yet known of casualties or destruction.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState

Another big explosion in occupied #Kadiivka (RU: #Stakhanov) in #Luhansk oblast.

Early indications are that it's another pinpoint strike by #Ukraine, likely on one of #Russia's bases.

Residents in nearby #Alchevsk also report loud explosions - probably the same incident.

Heavy fighting in #Marinka/#Maryinka in #Donetsk region.

#Russia says it's about to take the town with fighting in the centre ongoing.

#StandWithUkraine

⚡️Breaking⚡️

Another explosion at a refinery in #Russia

There's now a fire after the blast in #Angarsk, near #Irkutsk, some 5,000km from Moscow.

Two oil tanks are on fire. Two people are missing with another two missing.

#RussiaOnFire

This is said to be video of the moment #Russia's base in #Kadiivka (RU: #Stakhanov) was hit (see earlier tweet)

It also now seems as though the explosion in #Alchevsk was a separate incident.

#Luhansk #RussiansGoHome #SlavaUkraini

One Democrat and One Republican have put down a resolution to remove #Russia from the UN Security Council.

Democrat Steve Cohen and Republican Joe Wilson say Russia’s presence on the UNSC “violates the purposes and principles of the United Nations.”

The #UK assesses there's no real threat of a new invasion of #Ukraine from the north.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine

A former Head of Police in occupied #Melitopol may have been murdered.

A corpse was found inside this burned out car, which had been used by Colonel Volodymyr Bondarenko. He was last seen at the end of September.

#RussiansGoHome

Almost 600 more dead Russian soldiers in the last 24 hours according to #Ukraine.

But as I've said in these threads many times, and as the President's Office confirmed yesterday evening, these figures don't include mercenaries used by #Russia. So they say the real total is >100k

https://twitter.com/TWMCLtd/status/1603204849188872192

Puppet "head" of the illegal '#Donetsk People's Republic' says "#Marinka is 80% taken" by #Russia's forces.
Of course this cannot be verified.

1/2
A couple of videos of morning attacks in #Donetsk

Occupying officials say one person died in this apartment block, and 10 have been injured after multiple rockets landed in the city centre.

#Russia of course blames #Ukraine, which denies being responsible

#RussiansGoHome

2/2
#Russia's occupiers say shelling of #Donetsk saw a nursery and here a hospital hit by #Ukraine's strikes.

Many independent observers concur there is no proof Ukraine is responsible for these and similar attacks. Russia may be trying to stoke hatred to introduce conscription.

At just before 2am this morning I wrote about the explosion and fire at a refinery in #Russia.

It's the largest such field in Siberia.
Here's a video of the fire earlier, but management say the blaze has now been extinguished.

#RussiaOnFire #StopRussia

#Kherson city centre is attacked again, with #Russia hitting a medical help point.

Unconfirmed: a 31 year old medic and a 70 year old man died in the latest missile attack, just 100 metres from the regional government building which was hit yesterday.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

#Ukraine's Armed Forces claim they've advanced 1.5km in #Donbas.

Brigadier General Oleksiy Gromov, briefed the media with the good news, saying they've made significant ground towards the settlement of Dibrova."

However it's likely largely uncontested terrain.

#Poland blocks EU aid for #Ukraine.

EU Diplomat says "It’s like an abusive relationship: they keep promising it will be different next time, but deep down we know we will get hurt over and over again"

Good evening or good night to my Australian friends and followers.
A massive thank you to Aly in particular for just gifting me "some food and a beverage"

The European Parliament has now officially recognised the #Holodomor as genocide of the people of #Ukraine. Deliberate starvation by the regime in #Moscow.

#StandWithUkraine

https://twitter.com/EPPGroup/status/1603328566090948608

Other news in brief:

#Kherson remains completely "de-energised" after the latest attacks by #Russia

#Belarus says troops at the border with #Ukraine are returning to base.

#Ukraine's Armed Forces chiefs say there is no possibility of a New Year ceasefire "until Russia leaves"

#Kharkiv (RU: #Kharkov) may be facing power outages after more shelling this afternoon.

Mayor of the city Ihor Terekhov confirmed hits on the city's infrastructure.

Early reports are S-300s landed in the Kholodnohirsky district - no known casualties.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

Some are reporting that the first missile landed in #Kharkiv before air raid sirens were heard.

Looks like quite a big hit in the city in the east of #Ukraine.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

This is probably another hit on #Russia's officers and even FSB, according to locals in the occupied part of #Kherson.

The Salimar hotel in Zaliznyi Port, was visited by some missiles. The town is a popular Black Sea resort, about 70km south from Kherson city.
#SlavaUkraini

An accredited journalist has been arrested in #Dnipro after reportedly getting drunk and firing a pistol in to the air.

The incident happened on vul. Shinna in the city yesterday evening.
His identity has not been made public.

Blood on the streets of #Kherson again today after #Russia's shelling, as this video from the local government shows.

People describe where and how the damage was caused and an old man being treated for light shrapnel wounds says he's lucky it wasn't worse.

#StandWithUkraine

A few minutes ago I heard about the hit on an hotel in southern #Kherson oblast, and now it looks like another one a few miles away in the occupied part of the region.

This unverified photo is said to be from #Skadovsk, about 60km from #Crimea as the crow flies, 90km by road.

A crazy story from #Poland where the Commander in Chief of Police was injured when a grenade launcher, gifted by #Ukraine, was accidentally set off in the police HQ.

Ceilings were damaged and some say Gen. Jarosław Szymczyk himself fired the device.

Also in #Poland, some better news this afternoon...

The country has now stopped its objection, which can allow financial aid for #Ukraine to be unlocked.

https://twitter.com/TWMCLtd/status/1603349461635239938

The #USA has today sanctioned the person believed to be #Russia's second richest man.

Somehow Vladimir Potanin has previously avoided being put on the "naughty list", not he and his Rosbank are sanctioned.

17 subsidiaries of VTB (bank) are also listed.

home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…

#Ukraine says it will protect its power plants with new sensors to detect missiles and drone attacks.

"We are working on installing cameras and sound sensors that will detect objects and notify air defence" said Andriy Nebytov, Head of Kyiv police.

korrespondent.net/ukraine/454463…

Unconfirmed: another huge blast at a #Russia base in #Luhansk. It seems #Ukraine has got some very good intel in recent days.

This is reportedly from #Irmino, about 20km east of #Bakhmut, which is in neighbouring #Donetsk region.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome

Here's an alternative view of the big explosion in #Irmino

It does look increasingly like a new attack by #Ukraine's armed forces on a weapons/ammo dump in the Luhansk region.

I'll quote a favourite saying in Ukraine.
Day 1579 of Russia's war 'didn't start with coffee' especially in occupied Crimea.

Here comes another of my daily threads, with all the important news from Ukraine, and I've still not missed a single day.

https://x.com/TWMCLtd/status/2068248338655244594?s=20

Those with me just a few hours ago will already know the early hours saw a huge attack on Crimea.

Before that more war crimes from Russia, while the Poland-Ukraine spat spirals out of control.
Missed anything? Here's the link to catch-up:

https://x.com/TWMCLtd/status/2068248338655244594?s=20

Many targets in Crimea have been hit, indeed on both sides of the illegal bridge linking Russia with the annexed peninsula.

Energy infrastructure have been hit, causing power cuts in Sevastopol, Alushta, Krasnoperekopsk + Armiansk among others.

Half of June has already gone and still no resolution to the war in Ukraine. But Moscow is reaping what is sows.

This is THE daily thread for Tuesday - all the news every single day.

We've reached Day 1574

https://x.com/TWMCLtd/status/2066426685738692820?s=20

I keep garnering new followers, but X keeps taking followers away without them choosing to unfollow.
But daily views of the thread are slowly increasing again, now around 12k a day.
But we used to be at 25-30k

Y'day was another important and long thread:

Ukraine delivered a message to Moscow during the night. The message was delivered by Dr One in spectacular fashion.

Here's the translated meaning of Magyar's team, the day after Ukraine's most important religious site was hit by the war criminals.

It's Day 1573 and the attempted genocide by Russia continued through the night.

Killing the people of Ukraine, its first responders and the most sacred religious site in the country.

The world looks on, shaking its head. If Putin's Nazism isn't stopped, it will reach you soon.

https://x.com/TWMCLtd/status/2066022348591919533?s=20

This is THE daily thread with fact-checked news of everything that's happening in Ukraine (and Russia).

The overnight attack by Russia was already underway when I finished Sunday's thread - here's the link if you missed anything on a busy day:

The main temple of Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra is over 1,000 years old.

The Assumption Cathedral was built in 1078, three centuries before Moscow existed.

The Mongols badly damaged it in the 13th century.
700 years later it was blown up in WWII
Now the new Nazi invaders did this:

Day 1560 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and this morning Russia's predicted massive attack has arrived.

Multiple civilians have been murdered and the number is growing.
As I always say, this happens because we in the west have been too weak to stop it.

Here's the daily🧵

https://x.com/TWMCLtd/status/2061248848287379528?s=20

There was a lot of destruction yesterday too, though Ukraine stuck to hitting military logistics and fuel targets.

It's caused continuing near-panic for invading Russians, and results can be seen at gas stations.
Catch-up here:

This morning, not just Kyiv badly attacked.
In fact, at the moment, more people are known to have died in Dnipro then the capital and that's where I'll start.

5 killed and 25 injured there plus 3 more wounded in Kamianske in the wider region.

Hello again.
Day 1552. A holiday in many countries "Whit Monday" in most, Spring holiday in others (inc UK) and Memorial Day in the U.S

But after 4 years and 3 months, memorials are still being made in Ukraine because our leaders, collectively, let them down.
Here's the daily🧵

https://x.com/TWMCLtd/status/2058375526079705330?s=20

I'm still not quite sure where Saturday ended and Sunday began - the days merged into one for me.
What I do know is there were >120 new posts over the 48 hours, that's an average one story every 24 minutes, over the entire two days.

Here's Sunday's link:

There are new murderous attacks by Russia already today in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Explosions have been heard in the city of Dnipro after an alert for ballistic missiles. Smoke can be seen, but no initial news of widespread damage, so hopefully air defence did its job.

Here we go again then. Day 1550 of Ukrainians wondering if they, their home, their relatives, will be bombed today.

About 16 million people have been born in the US and 15m in the EU since Russia started its full invasion of Ukraine.

Welcome to Saturday's daily🧵

https://x.com/TWMCLtd/status/2057745272709546078?s=20

Friday was a cracking thread, with vodka cheaper than a single tomato, legless Russians celebrating, Moscow claiming a college in occupied Luhansk wasn't housing Rubicon pilots and their drones and Ukraine causing more mayhem deep inside Russia.

https://x.com/TWMCLtd/status/2057745272709546078?s=20

#UkraineSanctions have been successfully employed again!

Lots of action in Russia last night, even before I closed the thread. Around 8am this morning another Ukraine strike in Perm' region, a distance of about 1700km.
