Sunday's #RussiaUkraine news thread begins here on Day 298 of the war.

Welcome along and Happy Hanukkah if you celebrate this evening.
Incidentally, the New York Times quotes Putiin calling #Ukraine's Jewish leader #Zelenskyy as "an assistant to Nazism"🍲🫖⚫️(no kettle emoji😂)
It's nice to report another fairly quiet start to Day 298 in #Ukraine.

There's a touch of Star Wars about the war from today...

Actor @MarkHamill, a strong supporter of #Ukraine, has become the voice of the English language Air Alert app.

"Luke Skywalker" adds some iconic Star Wars quotes along with news on possible threats.
#SaveUkraine
Looks like we are just 4 days away from the 100,000th regular Russian troop being killed in action in #Ukraine.

Another bumper "crop" of almost 600 in the last 24 hours for the nation defending its' sovereignty. #Russia continues to suffer regular hits on its military bases. Image
I wrote about a touch of Star Wars in #Ukraine... but it's more like "It Ain't Half Hot Mum" for #Russia, reading today's update from British Intel.

Desperate to revive flagging morale with circus performers, singers and musical instruments.
They know the Funeral March? Image
This time next week much of the world will be celebrating Christmas.

I'm retweeting this in case you missed the farce, probably highly insulting to many.

#Russia plans to effectively lock up the entire population in Occupied #Zaporizhzhia.

#Ukraine's General Staff says an extraordinary 24-hour curfew will be introduced

Meanwhile 24 settlements in free ZP and #Kherson were shelled in the last 24 hours.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Much has been made in Russian media of an interview with ex-senator of Virginia, Richard Black.

The discredited pro-#Russia mouthpiece claims "Russia is winning in #Bakhmut, Ukraine is losing"

#BakhmutHolds after 19 weeks and #Ukraine's army publishes these photos from the town ImageImageImageImage
The once magnificent Donbas Arena in #Donetsk has been shelled again.

Formerly home to @FCShakhtar, ten years ago it staged the semi final of #Euro2012

#DonetskIsUkraine #RussiansGoHome ImageImageImageImage
Family and friends of Simon "Grimmy" Lingard, from Great Harwood in Lancashire, this weekend said their final goodbyes.

Simon was not only a brave volunteer soldier but also a fundraiser for #Ukraine

#RussiaOnFire

The #Irkutsk region has seen a few "smoking related" accidents lately.

This evening a powerful explosion at the #Markovskoe oil and gas field.

The fire covered an area of ​​about 1,000 square metres.

#StopRussia Image
#Russia claims #Ukraine shelled a hospital in #Donetsk today.

Puppet leader Denis Pushilin says a man died at the Kalinin hospital.

There is no proof who fired the shells.
This video is said to be #Ukraine forces hitting #Russian targets on the Kinburn spit.

The battle for the thin strip of land south of #Mykolaiv continues.

Unverified - virtually no news has come from Kinburn with both sides reporting almost the exact opposite.
#RussiaOnFire

A village in #Belgorod region, bordering #Ukraine, is without power tonight.

A local substation caught fire in the village of #KrasnayaYaruga.
Some locals mention an explosion before the fire, but not all.

#StopRussia
Looks like a couple of Russian Father Christmases did their best to fulfill Ukrainian seasonal wishes by trying to throw themselves under passing cars.
🤦

This is the start of THE daily thread covering all things Ukraine.

Reliable, accurate information for 1124 days as Russia and its willing accomplices (Iran, North Korea and MAGA-land) try to destroy Ukraine, its culture and its democracy to make it a vassal state.

Here's the🧵
Yesterday started with shocking lies and propaganda from the White House and ended with another massive attack by Russia, knowing tRUmp and co don't mind at all.

Find all the details by clicking and scrolling here⬇️

Worryingly, Russia achieved a 17% hit rate from its overnight drone attack with 25 of 147 getting through Ukraine's air defence.

97 attack UAVs were taken down and 25 more were decoys.

Kyiv came under fire most during the night.

The war Russia inflicted on Ukraine enters Day 1120

Ukraine, a country which never invaded another, never killed anyone abroad; a fully democratic nation where only one President has ever won a second term in office.

Here's THE daily thread for Wednesday, with all the news.
Yesterday was all about the ritual humiliation of tRUmp, dished out by Putin, and the US president's brain being too rusty to realise.

I also indulged in a long sub-thread on my fears about what's happening in Washington DC.
Catch up here:

It's official. tRUmp's supposed skill at making a deal is absolutely RANK

Russia
Afghanistan
NK (North Korea)

#TraitorTrump promised a deal with his mate in NK, got nothing.
He handed the Taliban everything, got nothing.
Now, ending the war in 24 hours turned into humiliationImage

Tuesday 18 March is Day 1119 of the war in Europe

Putin, the aggressor, the war criminal, presiding over countless heinous crimes, executions, kidnapping of children, is about to be given a pass by Donald J Trump.
The despot and the wannabe talk today.

This is THE daily thread
Yesterday saw an explosive end to a day which started with mystery surrounding a Ukraine hit in Russia, and moved through the thread with some harrowing and shocking tales and scenes from Kherson.

Catch up here! #SlavaUkraïni

During the night 7% of Russia's drones defeated air defence, according to Ukraine's figures.

Kyiv says there were 64 simulator drones which fell harmlessly - I think is a record, but cannot be sure.

Another 63 were shot down, with 10 of 137 attack UAVs reaching targets. Image

Welcome to my daily thread, covering all things #Ukraine every single day since even before the first day of Russia's full invasion.

This is Day 1110 of Putin's long promised land grab - he's also pledged to reunite the rest of the USSR.

More atrocities overnight, let's begin:
For those loving people who urge me to get more sleep, you will be pleased to know there was no alarm this morning; I am refreshed and ready to tackle JD TRussia again.

A busy Friday ended with news of the awful attack in free Donetsk, catch up here:

1/2
 Coming up news of a significant new oil strike in Russia. While Ukraine sticks to military targets, Putin's horde targets civilians.

#Dobropillya is a small place, but this heinous attack may go down as one of the worst of the war.

A double tap attack & cluster munitions

Today sees the completion of 3 years of full scale war unleashed by #Russia on #Ukraine.

As signs point to an end to this war relatively soon, the ONLY question which should be asked is: are you happy to reward war-criminal terrorists with land?

Here's THE daily thread:
It's Day 1096 of #Russia 's war.

If you missed anything yesterday, catch up on Saturday's news here:

1/2
 The #UK is in full focus today.
As @Keir_Starmer prepares to fly to Washington, new sanctions will be unveiled tomorrow.

Foreign Sec @DavidLammy says it will be "the largest package of sanctions against #Russia since the early days of the war eroding its military machine."

Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.

Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.

On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:

100% record in air defence overnight, according to #Ukraine.

Of 83 attack drones fired by #Russia, 61 were shot down by #Ukraine with the other 22 decoys.

I did report a fire in #Sumy last night, but that and damage in #Kharkiv #Poltava + #Kirovohrad were from falling debris. Image
