It's Friday 6 January. It's Day 317 of the war. #Russia's illegal war on #Ukraine.
But remember it's almost the 9th anniversary of the initial invasion by #Moscow including the occupation and annexing of #Crimea against all international law.
Here's my daily news thread:

It's actually been a quiet start to the day as it was to end Thursday evening.
But I know quite a few of you (especially on non Euro time zones) like to catch up on what you missed with one easy to scroll through thread.
So here is a link for yesterday:

In three weeks it will be 6 months since the #Olenivka (RU: #Yelenivka) massacre.
I am shocked to hear @StephDujarric say the UN has given up trying to investigate. They were "not able" to visit the scene of the crime - an admission of guilt in my book

#Bakhmut stands.
However as we all know the town has been absolutely destroyed by #Russia. These satellite photos published by
@Maxar
were taken less than 5 months apart: 1/8/22 and 4/1/23.

So at midday today #Russia says it will start a ceasefire.
It's immaterial either way. Fighting won't stop.
If #Ukraine hasn't fired within a few minutes, #Russia will lob some shells on its own and scream "nazis" and launch pre-planned missile/drone attacks.

Some say the conflict is frozen.
Let's see if the real freeze brings about movement.
#Ukraine is about to freeze.
The last of the mild weather disappears today with temps heading south of zero mid afternoon and probably not returning above freezing for a good few weeks.

Occupiers in #Donetsk may call up 16 year olds to fight against their homeland.
Spokesman of the #Odesa military administration, Serhiy Bratchuk, says according to their intel, Russia's stooges "have started collecting information about citizens born in 2006 for registration."

#Ukraine's southern command also reports a double blow to #Russsia's Air Force.
UA forces say they shot down a Su-25 plane and a Mi-8 helicopter during yesterday's battles.

Maybe someone smoking, maybe an unplanned winter-shashlik (barbecue)?
The sky lit up a wonderful red colour overnight in Occupied #Tokmak in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.

Reports also emerging of another good "hit" for #Ukraine
A fire strike with 155mm shells at a base for the Occupiers in #Rubizhne, close to #Severodonetsk in #Luhansk.
No confirmation or estimates of casualties yet, if true.

Great photos from Danylo Pavlov of the only remaining emergency services workers in #Bakhmut
These guys refused to leave the city saying they need to rescue and save lives in the devastated town. Some residents, mainly the elderly, remain in Bakhmut.

Daily losses over 500 for an entire week.

There's been a lot of talk about #Russia about to embark on a new mobilisation and now 24 Kanal in #Ukraine says it's underway.
I'm not entirely sure these summonses are genuine though - I guess the truth will be known in a week or so.

In #Kherson the invaders have started targeting fire stations. Emergency services are being directly attack themselves now.
Today's attack is the second in two days and local officials say there are dead and injured.

#Russia says its' unilateral ceasefire has come into effect.
However, #Ukraine's Reintegration Minister, @IrynaVereshchuk, confirms the information I wrote about earlier in the thread of the high possibility of the Russia attacking churches as a false-flag.

There is a national air raid warning in #Ukraine.
All regions could be at risk as #Russia's bombers took off from bases in #Belarus.
It's an easy and cynical way for Moscow to ruin family time for Ukrainians on Christmas Eve yet stay within its "ceasefire"

Update on #Russia's strike on a fire station in #Ukraine
One rescue worker was killed, four more were injured, one seriously.
The Russians also attacked a residential building next to the fire station.

Surely a high chance of arson here...
State media have been ramping up the anti-Japanese rhetoric after territorial disputes and #Japan raising Defence spending.
Today a Nissan dealership in #Moscow went up in smoke

Getting a bit close to home for the Mafia State this time.
The Foreign Ministry building in Moscow caught fire today. No reason has been given but it's said the blaze started in a "technical room". Anyone know if Lavrov smokes?!
The fire was soon extinguished.

#Ukraine sources are now confirming this in Tokmak was another disaster for #Russia
Ukrainians no longer believe in the Soviet creation "Father Frost" but they believe in #HIMARS.
Around 200 more newly mobilised invaders thought to be dead

It seems #Avdiivka has been pummelled the most by #Russia this week. Repeated artillery bombardments.
This is a quick tour around one area of the town in #Ukraine-held #Donetsk region.

The @WhiteHouse has just announced another 3-billion-dollar aid package for #Ukraine.
Dozens of Bradleys are among the latest assistance given to help Ukraine maintain its independent and drive out the invaders from its land.

The United Arab Emirates has given #Ukraine over 1,300 generators.
The total value of the aid package from the #UAE is thought to be around $100 million.
#Kyiv #Chernihiv #Dnipropetrovsk #Kharkiv and #Sumy regions will all receive generators.

#Makiivka has also been shaken again.
Just days after the loss of around 300 troops. #Russia may be counting more losses in the #Donetsk town judging by the size of this explosion tonight, or maybe it's the predicted false-flag.

Glasses in the Kremlin not exactly half full as they welcome in the Orthodox Christmas.
#Ukraine's Defence Minister probably thinks they should be 19% full, to reflect #Russia's remaining stock of weapons.
81% already fired at 🇺🇦, but still they stand.

Lots of explosions on the Occupied side of the river in #Kherson region.
#Kakhovka has been loud for a long time and the power has gone off in some areas.
Meanwhile in nearby #NovaKakhovka this was recorded on the central street Svetlova
