Many in #Kyiv were woken by loud explosions this morning, especially two blasts in the central area of #Ukraine's capital.
Mayor @Vitaliy_Klychko reports 15 of #Iran's Shaheed killer drones were shot down. But one did hit more critical infrastructure. Two injuries reported.
Today's strikes by #Putin are even more heartless as it's St Nicholas' Day. In view of New Year celebrations being largely a Soviet/Moscow doctrine, more and more families in #Ukraine focus on 19 December as the day for children to receive most presents. Instead they got this:
While #Russia's attack this morning was largely centred on central #Kyiv, there were other drones too.
All told, 30 out of 35 of the #Iran-made murder-missiles fired at #Ukraine were shot down.
The daily British intelligence update underlines just how brutal and unscrupulous #Russia is. Quite simply lives do not matter - people can be replaced with more mobilisation. Replacing armed vehicles and tanks is much more difficult. Yet still the brainwashed fight for Putin.
The photos show yet another ruined Russian helicopter.
For the second time in 3 days a Mi-8 was destroyed in a crash landing in #Russia. It happened today in the Siberian region of #Magadan, 8 time zones east of Moscow.
Just one of the three on board was injured. #StopRussia
Police in #Kyiv have released more photos following the drone attack on the capital this morning.
Andrii Nebytov, police chief for the capital region, says 9 houses were damaged as well as critical infrastructure. 3 people were injured.
12 people needed treatment when scaffolding collapsed in #rasnoznamensk. No reason was given for the accident, but several workers are said to be seriously injured....
2/2
Worse was to follow for the injured after the scaffold collapse near #Moscow.
#Russia's ambulances couldn't get to the seriously ill victims because of the snow (no sniggering please!)
#Putin is currently flying to #Belarus. This is the likely reason for the raising of #Russia's aircraft, with both fighters and bombers currently active.
These craft are the reason for the air raid warnings over most of #Ukraine.
Some #Ukraine media reporting that the election campaign is underway.
It's seen that #Lviv businessman Heorhiy Kozlovsky has started an advertising campaign on Facebook seemingly designed to unseat Zelenskyy.
In #Russia they still happily feed their sons and partners to the meat grinder the war in #Ukraine has become.
This is in #Saratov an ordinary city in #Putin's Terrorist State. The monument on the "Alley of Heroes" is already full of victims' names, with others still "missing"
For the third time, #Russia has hit the local government building in #Kherson.
CCTV of strikes in the Kalininskyi district of #Donetsk, one channel reports the same hospital has been hit as yesterday
Don't let the fog of war sway you to #Russia's words. Remember they occupy this city illegally, #Ukraine has never been proven to fire on non-military targets
#Russia's occupiers seem to have realised their repeated stories about grads hitting #Donetsk have been rumbled (#Ukraine's army is not close enough)
Tonight propaganda outfit RIA says 15 MLRS rockets hit the hospital and surrounding district.
Real problems for people in #Kyiv since the morning drone strikes.
Just one in five people has power and to make matters worse many have lost internet too even with fully charged devices and power banks they're still cut off.
I recently wrote about a controversial new planning law proposed by #Zelenskyy's "Servant of the People" party.
Today one MP, Halyna Yanchenko has resigned from the party after parliamentary leader Olena Shulyak visited a war hero in hospital when he criticised her bill.

Day 1247
It's never ending. At least it feels like it after another sleepless night and "peace talks" that lasted 40 minutes and Russia still refusing Trump's demand for a ceasefire, which Ukraine agreed to 135 days ago.
All the news, all the time, it's the daily Ukraine🧵
A quick reminder if you appreciate my work (and lack of sleep) you can donate coffee via the link in my bio🙏
But this is the link you probably really want! To check back on all yesterday's news, especially when Russia was attacked late at night.
You've found the start of another daily thread. I've not missed one day since Russia's full invasion, bringing all the Ukraine news in one handy thread every single day.
It's Day 1246, let's begin.
A late finish last night for me (yeah, not unusual), so a later start.
But not due to a massive Russian attack, but because of the political situation & public backlash
Another bumper thread, big Ukraine street protests for the 1st time in years in here
The biggest thing today will hopefully be the resumption of talks between Ukraine and Russia.
The meeting will again take place in Istanbul, starting at 7pm UKR time, 5PM BST, noon EST.
Venue is the Çırağan Palace - can't wait to hear reporters butcher that name😂 [Cheer-raan]
Day 1245
One thousand, two hundred + forty-five days of battling to survive against what was said to be the world's 2nd greatest army.
Ukraine's resistance has been heroic but still a lot of work to do.
I'm starting Tuesday's thread before sleep as the air attack just ended.
Monday's thread was another 50-post marathon
A lot of problems for Russia, with drones, planes, trains and the elements. But another major Ukraine city was hit in the early hours of this morning.
All yesterday's news is here, click and scroll to catch-up
Day 1243 of Russia's gross violation of the peaceful world order. Breaking UN Rules and the Geneva Conventions. Doing anything to anyone in a bid to eliminate Ukraine and all its people who won't bow down to the Führer of the 21st century.
Here's yet another daily thread.
Well, for a country at war, it's been a quiet night and day so far in Ukraine.
Mind you, not so in Russia, and the previous 24 hours turned out a little crazy, with a 50-page thread to get your teeth into if you were busy on Saturday:
I finally made it, to start Saturday's daily thread covering all things about Russia's aggression, not only in Ukraine, but increasingly on all of its enemies.
It's Day 1242, which began after midnight with a mass of objects flying both both sides of the border.
Friday's was another huge thread, not surprising as it encompassed 24 hours from start to end.
