Sunday 15 January. It's Day 326 of #Russia's heinous war in #Ukraine.

It's also the first day of 3 official days of mourning for the victims of the terrorist attack in #Dnipro.

Yesterday was tough. 90 tweets in the thread. If you want to support me:

If you want to see all the news from yesterday, the photos and videos and see how #Dnipro and other stories unfolded chronologically, this is the start of Saturday's thread:

There was a lot of criticism for @MissUniverse for allowing the competitor from #Russia to be at the beauty pageant in New Orleans overnight.

However, neither Miss Terrorussia nor Miss #Ukraine made the last 16. But the US audience gave a much warmer reception to the Ukrainian!
A lot of people in #Ukraine, and around the world, are using this touching piece of digital art as their Profile pic on social media.

if doing so you should at least acknowledge the creator @MariiaLoniuk

1/2
There has been some confusion about the cause of the disaster in #Dnipro after Presidential adviser @arestovych suggested it may have been a knocked out missile dropping on the apartment block.

#Ukraine's Air Force Commander Mykola Oleschuk pointed out that's impossible...
2/2
The #Dnipro apartment block was hit with a Kh-22 missile, and Oleshchuk says they don't have the Air Defence systems to stop these missiles.

"210 missiles of this type have been fired over #Ukraine. Not a single one was shot down by means of anti-aircraft defence."
Work continues through the night in #Dnipro (📹TG dnepr_operativ)

The death toll has climbed by two during the night so far.

14 confirmed killed in the attack. Over 70 injured.
38 people have been rescued from the rubble, but they still search for 20 missing.
#StopRussia
#Russia's Ombudswoman has accused #Ukraine of torturing Prisoners of War.

Tatyana Moskalkova published unverified videos she says were sent to her by relatives of POWs Vladislav Kovalenko + Petr Krikunov. She claims they were threatened with death unless ransoms are paid.
Spare a thought for friends & family of Chris Parry + Andrew Bagshaw. It's now 9 days since the Humanitarian volunteers workers went missing near #Bakhmut

And still no update from #Wagner four days after publishing their passports and saying one had died

Wow. Thank you Catherine for your fantastic support and kind words. And Darren G has just bought me ANOTHER coffee! Top man!

#SaveUkraine
As well as confirming Challenger-2 tanks, Britain has committed to sending four of the most modern Apache helicopters to help #Ukraine retain its independence and regain all its territory. Hell-Fire missiles are included in the package.

Not directly connected to the war but an extraordinary story here of an MMA fighter who's been murdered on the Moscow-Vladikavkaz train.

Georgy Gagloev's killing is being linked to his search for his aunt who went missing 11 months ago.

21 now confirmed deaths from the #Dnipro missile attack. Many are still unaccounted for.

But a ray of light, almost 24 hours after the catastrophe, a woman is found alive by rescuers.

#StandWithUkraine️ #StopRussia
Another day of heavy losses for #Russia

630 soldiers die in the continued illegal invasion. The majority likely to have been "worthless" convicts in the eyes of the Kremlin and military commanders.

Total 🇷🇺 army deaths over 115,000 according to Kyiv estimates

#RussiansGoHome Image
Two men have been killed by a Russian landmine in #Kherson region.

The 53 and 35 year olds were walking near Velika Oleksandrivka when the explosive went off in a field, killing them instantly.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Many countries in the western alliance are right now training #Ukraine's forces in a variety of new skills.

A luxury yacht owned by sanctioned Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov has "escaped" from an EU harbour.

Balkan Observer reports how the vessel "Irina VU" was 'frozen' in #Croatia due to UK, EU + US sanctions. Yet somehow it was allowed to sail to #Turkiye

facebook.com/BalkanObserver…
A 23rd person's body has been found in the ruins of #Dnipro.

Here are some new photos from the scene taking this afternoon. Hopes of finding any more survivors are fading fast.

39 people have been saved, but after calls from concerned relatives they fear 43 are still missing. ImageImageImageImage
Insane amounts of numpties, abusers, trolls, bots etc this week, especially in the last 24 hours post Dnipro.

Analysis shows about 85% of accounts started after Feb 2022. The rest a smattering of anons, others or right wing Americans. Reagan would turn in his grave at this GOP.
More bodies taken from the rubble.
#Dnipro apartment block death toll now 27.

Locals organise the charity donations pouring in to help the grieving and the homeless.

#StandWithUkraine
Typical response, usual Kremlin narratives fools millions - please read with an open mind:

NATO "surrounding/threatening Russia" - see map!

1990s NATO expansion "red line" is made up, changing history. Even Gorbachev said this.

Victims of the #Dnipro massacre are slowly being named.

Among them one of #Ukraine's boxing coaches.
Mykhailo Korenovsky leaves behind a wife and two children.

Currently death toll: 27
#RussiaIsATerroristState Image
#Ukraine's Southern Command, which warned of the probability of the Cruise missile attack yesterday, says there are now 16 Russian ships in the Black Sea.

The flotilla includes 6 missile carriers. They estimate over 30 Kalibr missiles are being carried.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Some #Ukraine channels still posting about holding a part of #Soledar, but these cannot be confirmed.

Meanwhile #Wagner types have been handing out medals for capture of the town which is the size of Cinderford in the UK! Image
Update from #Soledar, the last known member of #Ukraine's military posting about holding part of the town now admits they are fighting outside the borders of the town.

Here's a translation of the post by Robert Magyar/Madiar Image
More friendly fire reported in #Russia

The independent Baza media claims a soldier blew up 13 of his colleagues with a grenade, killing three and injuring ten.

A man from #Sverdlovsk seems to have deliberately detonated the grenade in #Bryansk among newly mobilised recruits.
Igor/Ihor - you know who you are. Thank you so much for the donation to my Ko-Fi (coffee) fund💙💛
There's no way I'm going to say this is accurate, but an official from #Ukraine's Presidential entourage claims over three-quarters of #Russia's convict recruits are now fertilising Ukraine's ground.

Win-Win for the Kremlin, saving loads on prison meals!

Seen in #Kyiv subway during the air raid yesterday.

Maybe the guy on he left asks "Feeling ok?"
Reply: "Yes, just a little hoarse"

#StopRussia Image
Plenty more damage from shelling in #Kherson today.

Another apartment block was badly damaged here as the centre felt the full force of #Russia's continuing anger over two months after they were forced out of the right bank.

#StandWithUkraine
..and another building in #Kherson destroyed in this afternoon's barrage of the city.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
..and of course another load of residents targeted by #Russia in #Kherson.

Remember the Kremlin pretends they care about these people, pretends that this is Russian territory.

Not indiscriminate shelling - this is deliberate targeting of civilians.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Dnipro

15 year old Mariia Lebid was among those killed when #Russia's missile smashed into her apartment block.

UPDATE:
Killed: 30
Injured: 75
Missing: 30
Apartments damaged: 302
of which 72 destroyed

#RussiaIsATerroristState Image
Some excitement in #Crimea tonight.
Looks like air defence has a fair bit of work to do.

#StopRussia ImageImage
Initial reports coming in that an air defence system is on fire near #Tokmak in #Zaporizhzhia

The S-300s have also been used as offensive systems in the region. Recently more have been moved, presumably from Crimea via Melitopol'

Not known if the cause is a🇺🇦 hit or🇷🇺 smoking!
Occupiers in #Sevastopol report a drone has been shot down over the bay.

There's been a lot of anti-aircraft activity on #Crimea.

Hello on Day 810 of the war in Europe.

#Ukraine, a democratic nation, desperate to keep it that way, remains under intense pressure from #Russia, an autocracy led by a despot and indicted war criminal.

All the news all day long in one handy thread. Read on..

#StandWithUkraine
Yesterday we only really had two stories, but they were big ones.

#Putin exiling & side-lining top names from the Kremlin.

And 25 years after the #Russia apartment bombings, 13 were killed in a new attack - but who did it?
Review the news here:

I have to start today's news with all-time record numbers of losses suffered by #Russia in the last 24 hours, according to #Ukraine's figures.

1,740 invaders eliminated on Sunday and for the first time, the projected date of reaching 500,000 victims is now before June. Image

Hello and welcome to Day 807 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.

Each day documenting the news and war crimes committed by indicted war criminal Putin and his Moscow horde as the neo-imperialists try to steal more land and wipe out another culture.

Here's another daily thread...
As always, the quick link back to the starts of yesterday's thread for those who missed some, or all, of Thursday's developments.

And right at the end of the day we saw another oil target inside #Russia being hit by drones!
So confirmation of another attack on an oil refinery in #Russia, the second in 2 months at this partuicular site.

Pershiy Zavod is the largest refinery in the region - the main complex for the processing of commercial oil and gas condensate, and the capacity is 1.2m tons/yr

Day 803 of #Russia's full invasion continues. The war criminals are super confident, tossing away lives of the plebs and useful idiots from Asia, Africa + the Americas.

But #Ukraine fights hard for its existence and supplies filter through to the frontlines.
This is the daily🧵
Today is a holiday in most of the UK, so I allowed myself a later start (no school run!)

Coming up news of #Ukraine hitting a Rusdian boat...
But first the link to yesterday's thread, which turned out to be quite busy.

So straight to the seas around occupied #Crimea where the big news happened overnight.

One of #Russia's speedboats was taken out by #Ukraine, with its Intel releasing this video.

A Magura V5 naval drone was successful near Uzaka Bay in the west of the occupied territory.

Many across Europe celebrate a holiday today, the first day of May.

In normal times in #Ukraine it would be a big celebration, with Labour Day followed by Easter and Remembrance/Victory Day. But these are far from normal times. No respite from war. Welcome to the daily thread:
Tuesday saw #Russia's world bring more death to #Kharkiv and to #Odesa for the second time in two days - a video proving the sickening cluster bomb attack on the people the day before.

All yesterday's news can be found here if you missed anything:

Overnight #Ukraine's special services has launched another successful attack on #Russia's oil industry.

Drones attacked a refinery in #Ryazan.
The local governor admits drones attacked but makes no mention of hits to the plant.

11 April 2024 - Day 778 of #Russia's war in Europe.

And Thursday's daily🧵 starts with another large scale missile attack on #Ukraine.

The air raid warning has just been switched off, but a lot of damage has been done as allies, especially the U.S. fail the Ukrainian people.
If you need to catch up on the news from Day 777, just click and scroll here for all Wednesday's news:

#StandWithUkraine

#Russia has again targeted energy installations, with attacks in #Kyiv (photos) #Kharkiv #Lviv + #Zaporizhzhia.

9x Tu-95 & a MiG-31K bomber delivered numerous missiles including Kinzhal warheads.
Prior to that kamikaze drones threatened #Ukraine.

Welcome to Sunday morning.
I'm starting early for the daily thread on Day 760 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful and sovereign neighbour #Ukraine.

There is a big danger of another missile attack from Russian aircraft. Follow for all the news all day (and night!)
It proved another marathon thread (almost 70 posts) on Saturday with the consequences of the #Kransogorsk terrorist attack dominating the agenda.

Playing catch-up? Click and scroll from the start, right here:
Across #Ukraine, millions are on tenterhooks. Anyone asleep will soon be woken by air alarms, with monitors sensing launches of cruise missiles from #Russian planes.

Meanwhile attack drones are also causing problems. Explosions recently in #Lviv but these seem to be air defence
