#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.
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.
We all like a good news story.
"Be more Zelenskyy" is this message!
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?
Britain's Intel update does today actually contain 'intel' regarding the war.
Let's hope they sent this airfield's air defence to #Ukraine too!
With rumours that #Poland may announce giving Leopard tanks to #Ukraine in the very near future, there's also a decent lend-lease from #Russia!
This time the invaders fled leaving this 152-mm "Hyacinth-S" equipment for Ukrainian use to liberate their own land. #Kherson oblast.
#Ukraine's Intel says it has busted an underground cell of Anatoliy Shariy's outlawed "political" party.
They're alleged to be preparing mass riots in #Dnipropetrovsk region. Officers found instructions on provoking riots and hold street demos in support of Russia if occupied.
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!
Air Defence active over #Kharkiv oblast right now.
This spectacular scene greets drivers in #Kogalym. It's the second big fire in the autonomous Khanty-Mansi region in 24 hours.
The fire is at the Nefteavtomatika plant dealing with both oil and gas production. Casualties not yet known.
Ex-#Georgia Pres Saakashvili is too ill to listen to court proceedings.
A🇺🇸 doctor told court he needs urgent treatment abroad. Neurologist Shahin Emmanuel Lakhani said Saakashvili has convulsions, loss of consciousness, rapidly advancing dementia.
Supporters say he was poisoned
An old AN-2 bi-plane is said to have made a "hard landing" according to officials, after trying to get airborne again when aborting a landing in the #Nenets Autonomous region.
Two people died, 10 more are injured.
More air problems for #Russia with news this evening that a Moscow to Goa plane was forced to divert due to a bomb threat.
The Azur Air jet touched down in Gujarat.
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.
My grateful thanks to Christiane and Marcel for buying me coffees this afternoon💙💛
Another person has been killed in shelling of #Kherson this evening.
Kyrylo Tymoshenko of the President's office says "The occupiers shelled the city once again. It fell right at the intersection of a residential quarter. A fire started in a private residential building."
More supplies coming from #Sweden and #Poland, with the Poles determined to release the Leopards!
Presidential Adviser in Warsaw, Jakub Kumoch says they'll give 10 Leopard-2s to #Ukraine "as an example to the west", while #Sweden is handing over Archer artillery systems.🇵🇱🇸🇪💕🇺🇦
A two year old child is among the injured in #Ochakiv.
Governor of #Mykolaiv Vitaliy Kim says the number of wounded is now 15.
However #Russia says it hit ammunition storage, pointing to this video of the huge explosion to support its claims of hitting a legitimate target.
Day 1247
It's never ending. At least it feels like it after another sleepless night and "peace talks" that lasted 40 minutes and Russia still refusing Trump's demand for a ceasefire, which Ukraine agreed to 135 days ago.
All the news, all the time, it's the daily Ukraine🧵
A quick reminder if you appreciate my work (and lack of sleep) you can donate coffee via the link in my bio🙏
But this is the link you probably really want! To check back on all yesterday's news, especially when Russia was attacked late at night.
You've found the start of another daily thread. I've not missed one day since Russia's full invasion, bringing all the Ukraine news in one handy thread every single day.
It's Day 1246, let's begin.
A late finish last night for me (yeah, not unusual), so a later start.
But not due to a massive Russian attack, but because of the political situation & public backlash
Another bumper thread, big Ukraine street protests for the 1st time in years in here
The biggest thing today will hopefully be the resumption of talks between Ukraine and Russia.
The meeting will again take place in Istanbul, starting at 7pm UKR time, 5PM BST, noon EST.
Venue is the Çırağan Palace - can't wait to hear reporters butcher that name😂 [Cheer-raan]
Day 1245
One thousand, two hundred + forty-five days of battling to survive against what was said to be the world's 2nd greatest army.
Ukraine's resistance has been heroic but still a lot of work to do.
I'm starting Tuesday's thread before sleep as the air attack just ended.
Monday's thread was another 50-post marathon
A lot of problems for Russia, with drones, planes, trains and the elements. But another major Ukraine city was hit in the early hours of this morning.
All yesterday's news is here, click and scroll to catch-up
Day 1243 of Russia's gross violation of the peaceful world order. Breaking UN Rules and the Geneva Conventions. Doing anything to anyone in a bid to eliminate Ukraine and all its people who won't bow down to the Führer of the 21st century.
Here's yet another daily thread.
Well, for a country at war, it's been a quiet night and day so far in Ukraine.
Mind you, not so in Russia, and the previous 24 hours turned out a little crazy, with a 50-page thread to get your teeth into if you were busy on Saturday:
I finally made it, to start Saturday's daily thread covering all things about Russia's aggression, not only in Ukraine, but increasingly on all of its enemies.
It's Day 1242, which began after midnight with a mass of objects flying both both sides of the border.
Friday's was another huge thread, not surprising as it encompassed 24 hours from start to end.
