There's been a big uptick in military aid for #Ukraine this week with #France #USA #UK + #Germany promising new equipment, but the latter still refuses to "release the Leopards"
However, speculation that #Poland's PM + Defence Min may announce a deal today to give the tanks to🇺🇦

Still no comment from Occupiers on the blasts to hit #Melitopol yesterday evening
Two explosions just before 9pm local time are confirmed. Some locals write of more losses for #Russia, especially in the 2nd blast near the airfield or oil depot, but it's speculation at this stage

#Russia's troops have made a little progress into #Soledar with credible reports they entered the Artemsil complex, previously Europe's largest salt mine.
Attempts by the invaders to cut supply lines to #Bakhmut and/or Soledar continue, but defences continue to hold.

#Russia says it has shot down a #Ukraine drone over #Crimea this morning.
They claim the UAV was intercepted over the Black Sea just north of #Sevastopol. I've not seen any comments or chat about this, nor photos. So it may be made up for the sake of propaganda.

Concerning reports in #Enerhodar where it's claimed #Russia is forcing all 3,000 or so workers at the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant to take its passports.
Please @iaeaorg - make a statement!
Meanwhile the Occupiers are reportedly seizing many private houses abandoned by refugees.

A big blaze reported near #Moscow which is worth noting although like unconnected with the war.
Spectacular photo here of the ongoing fire in a residential building at #Pushkino.

There's no other information.
I did not catch any reports of fire in the occupied town, so again it seems more likely lies to claim Ukraine broke a (non-existent) ceasefire!

Following the recent glut of pinpoint strikes by #Ukraine, finally the daily losses for #Russia are down across the board.
But another 480 dead Russian troops is still arund 40% above the daily mean since the start of the war back in February 2022.

Another not especially informative "Intelligence" update from London. But today's British report does give an insight into some problems on the ground on the eastern front.

Beyond a joke.
The fascist state rolls out another ridiculous video, still trying to convince someone that it's really #Ukraine not #Russia which is the Nazi state.
Don't know about you, but I'm totally convinced by this shiny Nazi helmet Russia "found" in a #Mariupol basement

Amid tight security the #Ukraine church holds its first Christmas service from the historic Lavra complex in #Kyiv.
Previously, only the Moscow Patriarchate had conducted worship here. A few weeks ago their lease was ended and the Russians were effectively kicked out.

This is how #Mariinka looks in 2023.
#Russia needs to pay reparations. Sadly the Russian people will ultimately suffer. But they should have renounced the imperialistic, fascist actions of its leader

Very early this morning I wrote about the advances by #Russia in a part of #Soledar near #Bakhmut
Delighted to read this post from a couple of hour ago by embedded journalist Yuriy Butusov with a photo from the salt mine. He reports Wagner is forced back

The police are on the scene, waiting for explosive experts to make the grenade safe.

I cannot find the original source, so I cannot give credit and nor can I verify authenticity.
It's said to show the bodies of over 60 Russians abandoned on the killing fields of #Bakhmut.

#Ukraine's most capped ever footballer, Anatoly Tymoshchuk, has been sanctioned by @ZelenskyyUa
Tymoshchuk won 144 caps and was skipper of the national team and @FCShakhtar until moving to Zenit in 2007. He is still a coach there, refusing to return or denounce #Russia.

In #Donetsk there's been shelling in the Kirovskyi district of the occupied city.
Of zero strategic value, this is just as likely to be #Russia responsible rather than #Ukraine.

Thousands more Russian soldiers have been sent to #Belarus.
In the last 36 hours two trains with 15 carriages packed full of troops have arrived in #Vitebsk
There are 700-800 on each train. It could be for military training or part of a proposed invasion force.

Suddenly a lot happening in southern #Ukraine.
Repeated explosions and bangs near #Zaporizhzhia tonight. This started well before the end of the so-called "ceasefire" by the way.
Difficult to be sure what's happening, but possibly ammunition exploding?

It seems #Russia was aiming for a local hostel, but missed the target according to local chat sites.

Two years ago today (8 Jan already in Iran and Ukraine).
At least #Iran admitted this early.
#Russia still denies the murder of 300 innocents on #MH17.
