#Ukraine: Today's updates from #UkraineWar: 1. Last night in the USA President Zelensky delivered a powerful speech in English to the US Congress, receiving a standing ovation on entry and chants of "Slava Ukraini! #tweet100
🇺🇸🇺🇦THREAD🇺🇦🇺🇸
#Ukraine: 2. As Congress members chanted "Slava Ukraini!, Zelensky replied with "Geroyam Slava" and struggled to hold back tears. Earlier President Biden told Zelensky, "It's an honour to be by your side". Image
#Ukraine: 3. Cleverly, Zelensky said UA had never asked Americans to fight instead of them & that Ukrainians could "perfectly operate American tanks & planes". "Your money is not charity, it's an investment in global security & democracy". #tweet100
#Ukraine: 4. Zelensky also passed to Congress the UA battle flag from #Bakhmut signed by many of the city's defenders. Speech highlights here: Full c-span recording here: c-span.org/video/?525000-… Image
#Ukraine: 5. Some wondered why Zelensky did not wear a suit with Pres. Biden or in Congress. By wearing his green uniform as Commander-in-Chief, he stands in solidarity with his soldiers risking their lives on the frontline every day. It is not a mark of disrespect. #tweet100 Image
#Ukraine: 6. On his way back from the USA Pres. Zelensky met with Poland's premier, Andrzej Duda - " A friend of Ukraine", before crossing the border back into UA this evening. (He must be bloody tired!) #tweet100 (Pic: @AnneMarie) Image
#Ukraine: 7. The US senate has approved amendments to transfer seized assets of Russian oligarchs to Ukraine. This is going to make a lot of oligarchs very angry with Putin - especially if other countries follow suit. #tweet100
#Ukraine: 8. Daily losses of Russian forces, according to UA estimates, passed a total of 100,000 Russian soldiers killed yesterday. Yesterday's deaths of +660 Russians brought Russia's death toll to 100,400. +6 artillery systems,+5 drones & 1 jet were also destroyed. #tweet100
#Ukraine: 9. At a party, believed to be for the birthday of Russia's Dmitri Rogozin, former Russian Deputy PM, just outside #Donetsk city, a shell destroyed the restaurant yesterday. Donetsk proxy leader, Vitalii Khotsenko was wounded as well as Rogozin. UA mute! #tweet100 Image
#Ukraine: 10. Andrey Shtepa, a UA collaborator with Russian forces was assassinated in #Luubymivka, #Kherson region, with a bomb, detonated while driving his car. Collaboration clearly does not pay! #tweet100
#Ukraine: 11. Satellites and other sources report a sudden increase in Russian naval activity in the Black Sea. Submarines and warships have been busy at #Sevastopol, #Crimea, in contrast to the lack of activity for months. #tweet100 (Pic: @CovertShores) Image
#Ukraine: 12. The US has imposed sanctions on 10 Russian naval entities in response to their aggression towards UA ports. +Russian fire disease continues to spread. Russia's only aircraft carrier, "Admiral Kuznetsov" caught fire in #Murmansk while being repaired. #tweet100
#Ukraine: 13. UK Intel says in role reversal, #Belarussian military trainers are likely now training Russian mobilised conscripts because of a shortage of trainers in Russia. Russian ones were either on the front or killed in combat. #tweet100
#Ukraine: 14. The Russian occupiers appear to be destroying all evidence of their crimes at the #Mariupol theatre by demolishing it. Hundreds of UA citizens, including children, were killed there in a basement bomb attack. #tweet100
#Ukraine: 15. Estimates by AP indicate that 10,300 new graves have been dug in #Mariupol since March covering 51,500 sq metres. Russians digging long trenches & then back-filling them. What further crimes are being committed?
#Ukraine: 16. Interesting message of solidarity from Ukrainian Persian language students to the people of #Iran. #tweet100
#Ukraine: 17. Saving Private Mavic. A UA drone "rescues his mate"! #tweet100
#Ukraine: 18. Report that G7 nations are committing $32 billion to support UA in 2023. And Denmark is to provide UA with $42 million in military assistance. EU to supply 900 generators to UA + millions of energy-saving bulbs. #tweet100
#Ukraine: 19. Russian oil exports, especially by sea, reported collapsing after G7 and EU sanctions came into effect on Dec 5th. Down 11% in December & forecast to become 20% lower in the new year. #tweet100
