#Kherson keeps getting shelled. Each day, each night
#Germany has eased the situation a little with the supply of 7 powerful generators. Head of Kherson Yaroslav Yanushevich posted this photo saying 3 are for water/sewage system, one for cancer care + 3 to help power in the city

#Nikopol has already suffered its usual evening shelling too.
Yevhen Yevtushenko, head of the town, confirms rockets hit the Chervonohryhorivka community, but thankfully no-one was injured.

In #Sumy region a school and a farm were among the places damaged as #Russia fired on the region 144 times on 5 settlements during Sunday.
This is absolutely typical, but I don't always report the "smaller" shelling. No one was injured.

These are the temperatures right now in #Ukraine
#Kyiv -6 (feels like -13)
#Bakhmut -17
#Zaporizhzhia -12
#Melitopol -8
While frozen land is easier to move tanks/heavy artillery, it's awful for people with no heat.
Indeed more energy being used could lead to more power cuts.

A Russian soldier published a video "for posterity" showing the conditions as they are transported to war in #Ukraine
Bread strewn all over in the "kitchen"
The toilet a hole in the floor and no heat or light.
No wonder motivation is a problem!

#Kherson chat is alive again with a "barrage" on a small village south of the river Dnipro (left bank, occupied)
Mali Kopani can be difficult to find on maps, but it's about 30km south of Kherson city.
Most people saying around 15 rockets have hit something - presumably a 🇷🇺base

I saw this posted earlier and though you may like to see it.
It's a dashcam ride through the village of #Antonivka in #Kherson region. The place made famous by the oft-struck bridge across the Dnipro river.
The village was liberated on 11 November.

Much is written about #FortressBakhmut, but even more critical right now could be #Soledar.
Yuriy Butusov, a famous journalist on the frontline, reports #Russia has entered some buildings in the town. However he says the paras of 46th Airmobile Brigade are still in control.

#Russia is gloating over this story, with an official of @ICRC telling State Media in Moscow that they've received around 50,000 requests to search for relatives since the war began.
Numerous questions remain. e.g.
Total for 🇷🇺+🇺🇦?
50k includes multiple requests?

Yesterday in the daily report by #Ukraine's General Staff they reported taking out another of #Russia's air defence systems in #Kherson region.

Farcical.
The man many see as the frontrunner to succeed #Putin, Secretary of #Russia's Security Council Nikolai Patrushev, has said "#Russia is not at war with #Ukraine, because, by definition, we cannot have hatred for ordinary Ukrainians"
Yet still they happily kill them!

New satellite photos of the #Engels are base show #Russia has erected some form of protective barrier.
Just four Tu-95 strategic bombers and two Tu-160 supersonic bombers were seen in an image of the base in #Saratov taken two days ago.
In December there were many more planes.

Thank you to @P_Fiala + the people of #Czechia for continuing support. A new batch of T-72 tanks + a TREVA vehicle are on their way.
The Czech PM even signed one of the tanks "I believe that Ukrainians will win the fight against the Russian aggressor."

Remarkable story here - a surgeon managed to remove a live "grenade" from a #Ukraine soldier
I'm not good at identifying weapons and ammo, but it was described as a grenade. As it had not exploded sappers supervised the surgeon Andriy Verba who's pictured with the device post-op

The demise of Sergey Shoigu has been predicted many times. I've never been convinced that #Putin would replace his Defence Minister, though he gave him some kind of warning when Shoigu disappeared from view for a while.
Now though there's a real chance he'll be fired next week.
