It's Tuesday and it's Day 314 of #Russia's illegal invasion of #Ukraine.

They planned to take #Kyiv in 3-4 days, have a new President and control the entire country in 10 days. How's that going Mr Putin?

Here, all the news in one place, updated throughout the day.

#StopRussia
Lots of activity yesterday as #Russia was careless again and again.

If you enjoy reading about Russian losses and stupidity, you will probably enjoy clicking and scrolling through yesterday's thread right here:

#StandWithUkraine

I've had no direct update from eastern front, but gathering intel from various most reliable sources, it appears #Russia gained a little ground on the outskirts of #Soledar + #Bakhmut also, but have failed to get to the residential area which they briefly managed a while ago.
Yesterday I wrote about locals in #Voronezh getting worried amid explosions near the military airfield - finally #Russia was forced to admit some "activity" but passed it off as air defence hitting one "small drone"

There were similar scenes tonight in the city:
#StopRussia
This is being reported by a #Ukraine official, but personally I doubt its authenticity.

Claims of 5,000 mobilisation forms being printed urgently in #Krasnodar region of #Russia.
Names and dates are supposedly left off to fill in as and when needed for quicker turnaround.
Thx also @wholedonut who saw this:

Forgot point number 5 - leave your phone on permanently so Ukrainians can see if you're home!

Last night I reported on the possible drone attack on #Russia's bases in #Crimea.

Always difficult to know the truth from occupied areas, but cannot see any indications in chat sites of genuine landings or damage.

Head of #Sevastopol says two drones were shot down over the sea.
Another big reported strike on Russia's positions came in #Luhansk region, in the town of #Svatove.

I cannot trace the origin of this photo, which is said to be from the scene. I found it via TG channel Ukraine_365News, but cannot verify it yet.

#RussiansGoHome
First donation of the day from S.H.
Thank you very much indeed for the coffees.
May the sky be bright all day where you are.💙💛
Air raid alerts sound in some southern and eastern regions of #Ukraine.
The fall out continues after the massive strike on the newly mobilised Russians in #Makiivka.

#Samara Gov Dmitry Azarov admits what I already wrote, that they were from his region.
“Our compatriots were also under attack by enemy forces. There are wounded, alas, there are dead."
Meanwhile #Russia and its puppet "DPR" are on the verge of falling out over the loss of hundreds of new soldiers in the hit on #Makiivka.

Donetsk "officials" blaming Russians for leaving their phones on. Claims were made on Russian TV channels, angering Moscow.
As I suspected, the daily losses keep rising for #Russia

A mammoth 750 more killed in battle for #Putin's needless war.

Already we are approaching 110,000 deaths.
#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
British Intelligence confidently asserts that #Russia will NOT be able to make any breakthrough in #Bakhmut for the foreseeable future.

#StopRussia
#Russia's Defence force says the filming company "s'yemka s vozdukha" (Filming from the Air) is now supplying them with drones for the war.

The small UAVs can slo be equipped with thermal imaging cameras and the ability to drop grenades.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Following the devastating missile strike on the ice rink in #Druzhivka, the wall may have fallen, but the flag of Ukraine remained.

A revealing photo by Yuliya Pivovar, the city's head of sports and culture.

The explosion was witnessed live by a million French TV viewers
It goes without saying that #Russia continues to hit #Kherson. 79 times the region was shelled.

2 people died in the attacks and another 9 residents were wounded in the attacks.

Here, just some of the damage caused to one of the apartment blocks.

#StopRussia
Translation of a post on social media in #Russia.

Somehow I have no sympathy. They seem surprised their husbands and sons are treated like cattle.

This was posted 11 days ago. Mr Katalikov may already be dead.

#RussiansGoHome
On #Crimea the Occupiers write about successes for #Russia's air defences. But some locals in #Dzhankoy and #Yevpatoria write about explosions.

#CrimeaIsUkraine #StandWithUkraine
1/2
A cautionary note about this story from #Ukraine's Southern Command spokesperson.

I was careful not to say "liberation" and Nataliia Humenyuk says it's too early to use the word when talking about Greater Potemkin island in #Kherson region.

2/2

Humenyuk says "Establishing the flag is a signal to the enemy that the land is ours"

#Russia's bloggers claim #Ukraine's soldiers nip across the water to take selfies with a flag and head back. But if #Russia still controlled the barren land they'd soon shoot up enemy craft
#RussiaOnFire

In Novy Oskol, near the border with #Ukraine, heavy smoke is rising and on a #Belgorod chat site some say it's a military facility, but they could easily be mischievous Ukrainians.

There does seem to have been some sort of explosion. Awaiting further news...
Here's a video today of the destroyed ice rink and arena in #Donetsk region, attacked by #Russia last night.

No weapons, ammunition or army. This was a working arena in #Druzhivka where the Donbas hockey team trained; classes were still held for players and figure skaters alike.
Another big blow for #Russia and perhaps another piece in the jigsaw which leads to widespread street protests from mothers.

This is occupied #Tokmak in #Zaporozhzhia. This building housed another large contingent of newly mobilised ("mobchiks") according to partisan locals.
UK PM Rishi Sunak has told #Ukraine's President that they "can count on the UK to continue to support it for the long term."

Sunak held a call with Volodymyr Zelenskyy today.
Just noticed a tweet earlier today outlining another alleged war crime from #Putin's band of criminals.

#Ukraine's Defence Minister accuses #Russia of destroying a power plant.

There really is not a lot going on in #Ukraine. Many news sites trying to fill with stories which are speculation or not important. Just wanted you to know you're not missing anything!
On New Year's Eve I highlighted the immoral and disgusting stance of @Bonduelle_Group

Finally a few in #France are picking up the baton. Thank you @felicia_sidx for the original thread and to @Euan_MacDonald for translating and keeping up the pressure

Someone's found a few new views of the recent bombing of a hotel in #Kyiv.

I find the addition of music and errr... 'arty' editing pointless, but maybe I'm just getting old?

#RussiaIsATerroristState
More explosions recorded in #Kursk, on the border with #Ukraine.
#Rostov is getting some attention too.
#Russia's Air Defence working by the look of it.

#StandWithUkraine
In #Samara Russian families were today grieving the loss of servicemen (63 or 400 depending on which side you believe) in #Makiivka.

#RussiansGoHome
One person was injured when a rocket hit #Zaporizhzhia region tonight.

Infrastructure and local houses were also damaged.
A fire at the site has now been extinguished according to the regional governor.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
#Russia quietly announces that among the dead in the #Makiivka (RU: #Makeevka) was Deputy Commander of the Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Bachurin.

They now admit the death toll has risen from 63 to 89.
In reality it is way higher.

#RussiansGoHome
A tragicomedy! #Russia pretends it immediately returned fire on the MLRS which hit #Makiivka, destroying the rocket launcher.

Moscow also claims they killed 200+ #Ukraine troops "and foreign mercenaries" by destroying the ice rink in #Druzhivka and hitting a nearby train station
In #Kherson once again #Russia has resorted to using incendiary munitions tonight.

These are thermite, spontaneously igniting in the air. Temperatures can reach 3000 degrees Celcius and cause widespread fires and damage.

Not restricting use to military targets is a war crime.

Welcome to yet another daily thread as #Ukraine moves one day nearer victory in its bid to liberate its land from #Russia's illegal invasion.

We've reached Day 316. All the news updated here throughout the day, so come back and scroll through later.

DMs open for tip-offs.💙💛
Wednesday ended in lively fashion after a quiet day. If you missed anything, the big news was from #Crimea where explosions/air defence were reported in two separate towns.

If you missed anything, take a look back here:

#StopRussia
Let's start the thread with a chuckle, with this scene from Kazakhstan according to the poster on Telegram.

A middle aged woman telling a couple of guys from #Russia exactly what she thinks!

"Putin is a d*ckhead. #Ukraine will win. All Kazakhstan hates you!"

This is Day 313 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine

Thanks for joining me for another daily thread with all the important news surrounding the nations and Putin's illegal conflict.

Monday starts with many Ukrainians still under air raid warnings, but Russia looks to be hit too...
A flurry of activity towards the end of yesterday's thread as #Russia once again sent waves of drones into #Ukraine, again mainly heading for the capital.

Catch up on the whole day's events here by clicking and scrolling though:

The current threat seems to be dissipating. In some regions the all clear has been sounded, but not yet in #Kyiv. But the capital's air defence has shot down 10 attack drones so far tonight.

Welcome to 2023, welcome to day 312 of the #RussiaUkraineWar.

Different year, same story as #Russia's terrorism continued right through the new year, but lucky for you my daily threads continue to document the terror and war crimes.

It's already been a terrible start to the day
So much happened in the last hour of 2022 as attacks intensify over #Kyiv. Earlier there was another massive missile attack.

If you missed anything, check out yesterday's thread right here:

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine

Proud of my country, making a special point of honouring and supporting the people of #Ukraine in the New Year fireworks and light show in #London.

Early in 2022 @BorisJohnson warned Europe could see the biggest war in Europe since 1945 and he was right.

I want to say thank you to everyone who's supported me in 2022, whether it's with words of encouragement, tip-offs, donations to my fundraiser or buying me a coffee.

I have tried to answer all comments and questions (tho some don't show up from time to time) and DMs remain open.
I didn't post much on the thread yesterday evening as it was quiet and remains so for the first 4.5 hours of Saturday in #Ukraine so far.

Here's the link for the start of yesterday's thread. If you missed anything you can scroll though:

Friday 30 December and welcome to my daily news thread for Day 310 of the #RussiaUkraineWar.

Yesterday was another difficult day for people in #Ukraine and the new days starts with #Kyiv under an air raid warning yet again.

If you missed y'day click⬇️

The air raid still active right now is due to a couple of suspected kamikaze drones in #Kyiv oblast.

The Head of the region Oleksiy Kuleba says air defence is working, but one UAV is still thought to be active as they followed the river Dnipro towards the capital.
This looks like a photo from another world.
It's #Opytne, a small village on the southern outskirts of #Bakhmut.

There's still little change on the frontline here, though #Russia may be making ground in #Soledar after repeated attacks with #Wagner convicts.
