Day 321 of #Russia's war. There's been outright war in Europe for every month of the past year after the unprovoked aggression started with bombs and the invasion of #Ukraine last February.

Follow all the news around the war, updated here in this thread throughout the day⬇️
I'll start in the now traditional fashion by giving you the link for yesterday's thread in case you missed anything in the #RussiaUkraineWar

First bad news from #Kramatorsk in #Donetsk region.

It's been confirmed that two people died when a Russian missile hit their car as they were travelling on the road.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
I missed this tale from yesterday. Five Russians are stuck in the departure lounge of the main airport in #Seoul.

They fled #Russia to avoid mobilisation, but South Korea has refused their request for asylum.

themoscowtimes.com/2023/01/09/rus…
Everyone in #Ukraine is awaiting news from #Soledar on the eastern front. It's not looking good with supply lines possibly having been effectively cut - #Russia has fire control over the main route in to the town in #Donetsk oblast.

Russians are sacrificing 1000s but may succeed
Here's a photo of the car in which two people died in #Kramatorsk.

#Russia's rockets hit the car and road last night.

A plane skidded off the runway in northern #Russia.

Officials say there were no injuries among the 116 passengers and 6 crew as the jet came to rest off the runway in #Norilsk.
#Russia has blocked the #Crimea bridge to private vehicles until 4pm this afternoon.

It's not clear whether it's for ongoing repairs or whether the Terrorist State tries to move military equipment in or our of the Occupied lands.
#Ukraine's Southern Command reports hitting a Russian Command Post as well as 5 bases of manpower and military equipment in the previous day.

They also hit 3 anti-aircraft positions and downed two of #Russia's reconnaissance drones.
This is said to be new video from #Soledar.
I cannot verify location or date.
But all reports indicate there is close combat fighting in the town now.

Some speculate #Ukraine may withdraw today, but Zelenskyy promised reinforcements, expected to arrive today.

#DonetskIsUkraine
The biggest explosion yesterday was in #Ochikiv in #Mykolaiv region, which injured 15 people.

This CCTV clip is said to be from the kitchen of a sushi restaurant 6km away from the blast site.
#Ukraine has lost one of its most senior officers in the fight to hold #Soledar

Colonel Yuriy Yurchik, head of the special forces unit of the State Border Guard Service died of severe shrapnel wounds.

He had been personally helping evacuate seriously wounded colleagues.
RIP🇺🇦
Britain's update today explains the situation in #Soledar and #Bakhmut
Wait! #Ukraine hit another Russian ship while we weren't looking?

Oh and #Russia sends another 700 to their deaths to advance a few more metres in #Donetsk.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
#Ukraine's General Staff says it will provide more information on the Russian ship it has hit "after clarification"

Very intriguing.

#SlavaUkraini
More details are being reported on the mystery of how and where #Ukraine hit a Russian boat yesterday.

Sources say it happened on the River Dnipro in #Kherson region, at Bilohrudove near to #HolaPrystan. The vessel was hit by artillery from the right bank.

#SlavaUkraini
Big media finally cover the disappearance in #Ukraine of volunteers Andrew Bagshaw and Chris Parry.

However, they're reporting that both are British. I wrote yesterday Mr Bagshaw, from Christchurch, is a New Zealander. But he does hold dual citizenship

Another alleged intercept of a call with a Russian soldier admitting disgusting war crimes.

Thx @fireflysinmay for spotting this. Graphic language about raping and murdering young women in #Ukraine.

In #Kherson the Council has released photos of damage from the latest attack by #Russia on a residential area of the city.

Deputy Chairman Yuriy Sobolevskyi says this lake is the crater from the explosion. "There are no military targets nearby. They're terrorists."
This is becoming far too common. #Russia gets to know where humanitarian aid distribution points are and looks to be deliberately shelling them. It cannot be coincidence. It can be called evil and terrorism.

#SaveUkraine

#RussiaOnFire

It's a big one in #Moscow this time.

In the north-east of the city this 'car service' warehouse went up in flames. The roof quickly collapsed. Casualties unknown.
#Russia's daily update claims three #Ukraine Su-25 fighter jets were shot down in the last 24 hours in the Donetsk region.

Obviously this cannot be verified and so much of Moscow's info is just fiction, but that's what they say today.
In #Crimea air defence is working amid reports of explosions near #SImferopol.

#StopRussia #CrimeaIsUkraine
Troops come under fire in #Soledar.
It's reported these are #Ukraine fighters, which although likely, I cannot confirm.

The horrors of war which the men and women there right now are experiencing without a break.

#StopRussia
The Occupiers in #Donetsk say they were subjected to a massive barrage of rockets this afternoon.

Among the worst hit districts was Leninskyi.

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine
Strange sight in the sky above the Russian city of #Rostov.

Is someone trying to draw a coffin?
I'm not sure the defenders of #Ukraine in #Soledar and #Bakhmut would agree right now, but CNN reports artillery fire is massively down.

I'm guessing there are fewer points of engagement/contact than in the first months of the war.

edition.cnn.com/2023/01/10/pol…
In Nova Mayachka on the left bank of #Kherson region, #Ukraine attacked one of the Occupiers' military administration buildings.
Credit to #Germany's Foreign Minister @ABaerbock, who made an unannounced visit to #Kharkiv today.

One of the very few overseas politicians to visit east #Ukraine, she visited the badly bombed district of Saltivka and met medics during her tour alongside Kharkiv's Mayor +🇺🇦's FM
In occupied #Donetsk,rockets hit one of the city's mines.

Here is the damage to the Skochinsky mine in the Kirovsky district of the city.
It's reported that #Ukraine has captured a popular Telegram propagandist.

Anatoly Dryomov has amassed almost 50,000 subscribers to his Telegram channel while fighting for #Russia

Here is a screenshot of the man said to be him, being questioned plus earlier pics from his channel
610 people were killed in #Ukraine's strike on #Makiivka

#Russia refuses to admit the true losses and won't publish names of the dead

However Ukraine has just released another intercepted call where a woman says her husband helped transport 22 truck loads of bodies.

Unverified
#Russia's propaganda channels and war bloggers claim #Wagner mercenaries have entered the centre of #Soledar and captured the local Admin/Council building.

Obviously these are as yet unconfirmed reports which #Ukraine denies

Meanwhile here's a recent satellite photo of the town
Two Russians reportedly injured tonight in #Belgorod.

The local Governor says the border village of #Shebekino has been repeatedly shelled.

#Soledar NOT under Russian control, yet!

#Wagner militants released a short video claiming to have taken control of the administration building in the centre of the town.
Here's a screenshot and it was noticeable they shot very tightly, not showing surroundings.
2/3
Gunfire can also be heard in the clip so there is still fighting.
Also, thanks to Google, we can clearly see #Wagner were NOT at the main council building in the centre of #Soledar, which is shown here:
3/3
A few more searches reveals the old school number 14 was turned into #Soledar council buildings 3 years ago. It matches the facade in the video.
This WikiMapia photo was taken before the inscription was added.
Thanks @Chr39548346 for correcting me. School 14 is <200m away
Very sadly, the photos/news on Telegram about missing volunteer Chris Parry was a sick fake

The photos did not show up on image searches, but found the originals now - taken from Chris' instagram account when he had an op in 2016.

Chris and Andrew are still missing near Bakhmut
Russians write that they've given #Ukraine's troops in #Soledar a midnight deadline to surrender.

I doubt this is true and even if it is, there will not be a surrender. There is still a route out albeit now far more dangerous than a few days ago.
Explosions in #Kharkiv confirmed.
No further details yet.

Wednesday 11 January is Day 322 of the war in #Ukraine

#Russia continues its unprovoked and illegal invasion and continues to kill and commit further war crimes.

All the news in one place. And here you can catch up on yesterday's stories:

1/2
The last entry on yesterday's thread last night was about the explosions in #Kharkiv. And there were plenty of fireworks - literally!

Thankfully no-one was injured as #Russia's shells hit a fireworks factory in the northern Kyivskyi district of #Ukraine's second city.
2/2

There were many videos of the unplanned spectacular show in #Kharkiv.

Two rockets are thought to have hit the fireworks factory.

It's probably no coincidence #Russia targeted the city on the day #Germany's Foreign Minister visited and pledged more help to defeat Putin.

#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

You've found the start of the daily thread with all Sunday's news and views around the war in #Ukraine

It's Day 319 of #Russia's full invasion.
A lively end to yesterday. Catch up by scrolling through here:

If you want to buy me a coffee see my bio, thx

The trend of slightly lower losses for #Russia continued yesterday. The data released by #Kyiv today show 430 more dead invaders and 5 more drones, but nothing especially noteworthy in the figures.

Tomorrow may be slightly higher after a number of hits reported on Russian bases.
Britain's daily update highlights a dilemma facing #Russia, while also confirming the hurried extra defensive actions taken to protect the northern "border" of occupied #Zaporizhzhia.

Shchaslyvoho Rizdva! Ukrainian for Happy Christmas.

I extend warmest wishes to those who still celebrate today in #Ukraine including those in Egypt, Eritrea and Ethiopia, and to all Russians who protest against the illegal war too.

Day 318 here's my daily #RussiaUkraine thread
All the important news concerning #Russia's illegal invasion and #Ukraine's heroic defence in one handy thread.

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

Welcome to yet another daily thread as #Ukraine moves one day nearer victory in its bid to liberate its land from #Russia's illegal invasion.

We've reached Day 316. All the news updated here throughout the day, so come back and scroll through later.

DMs open for tip-offs.💙💛
Wednesday ended in lively fashion after a quiet day. If you missed anything, the big news was from #Crimea where explosions/air defence were reported in two separate towns.

If you missed anything, take a look back here:

#StopRussia
Let's start the thread with a chuckle, with this scene from Kazakhstan according to the poster on Telegram.

A middle aged woman telling a couple of guys from #Russia exactly what she thinks!

"Putin is a d*ckhead. #Ukraine will win. All Kazakhstan hates you!"
