🇺🇦🎯THREAD🎯🇺🇦
#Ukraine: 2. Under the salt mines of #Bakhmut/#Soledar area are 200 km of tunnels, large rooms where they have played football & held concerts. This is why Wagner slug #Prighozhin says he wants to capture them, to store armoured vehicles & ammo: #tweet100 euractiv.com/section/global…
#Ukraine: 3. Fierce battles are taking place on the #Bakhmut/#Soledar front right now in below-freezing conditions, but UA forces hold on despite the difficulties. #tweet100
#Ukraine: 4. In #Bakhmut where the UA Border Guards captured RU positions, RU forces tried to regain but 18 of them were killed and 24 wounded. UA estimates: 430 Russians were killed in UA yesterday. 5 armoured vehicles + 3 tanks & 3 artillery systems destroyed. #tweet100
#Ukraine: 5. Nr #Kreminna at #Rubizhne, UA forces struck a RU troop dormitory, killing at least 14 RU soldiers. RU reinforcing around Kreminna but UA is reported to have taken #Kuzmyne, the last settlement before the actual city.

#Ukraine: 8. 50 UA POWs released from RU captivity today, 33 officers & 17 other ranks from all sections of UA armed forces including army, navy and special forces. A welcome Orthodox Christmas homecoming. #tweet100
#Ukraine: 9. UA National Resistance Centre reports that RU forces may blow up #Svatove Reservoir dam, #Luhansk region, to slow UA advance, use it as an excuse to deport the local population and blame UA for the crime. #tweet100
#Ukraine: 10. Russia is claiming it killed "600 UA soldiers" in #Kramatorsk in retaliation for #Makiivka attack. Mayor confirms 2 educational buildings hit, 8 apartment blocks & garages struck, but says no casualties. RU propaganda. #tweet100
#Ukraine: 11. In the UA trenches life is really difficult when temperatures are -10C to -17C. But patience & ingenuity win out! #tweet100 Slava Ukraini!

#Ukraine: 2. Putin has requested a ceasefire in UA from noon Jan 6th to midnight Jan 7th "to allow celebrations of Orthodox Christmas". UA has declined to take part. UA sees it as "hypocrisy" & as a ploy for RU to regroup and rearm. #tweet100
#Ukraine: 3. Also the weather on the #Svatove/#Kremmina front is about to crack down. Friday forecast -15C, Sat -17C, Sun -15C at night. More badly equipped Russians will likely freeze to death. UA armour will be able to move on solid ground. #tweet100
