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

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.

This is the start of THE daily thread covering all things Ukraine.

Reliable, accurate information for 1124 days as Russia and its willing accomplices (Iran, North Korea and MAGA-land) try to destroy Ukraine, its culture and its democracy to make it a vassal state.

Here's the🧵
Yesterday started with shocking lies and propaganda from the White House and ended with another massive attack by Russia, knowing tRUmp and co don't mind at all.

Find all the details by clicking and scrolling here⬇️

Worryingly, Russia achieved a 17% hit rate from its overnight drone attack with 25 of 147 getting through Ukraine's air defence.

97 attack UAVs were taken down and 25 more were decoys.

Kyiv came under fire most during the night.

The war Russia inflicted on Ukraine enters Day 1120

Ukraine, a country which never invaded another, never killed anyone abroad; a fully democratic nation where only one President has ever won a second term in office.

Here's THE daily thread for Wednesday, with all the news.
Yesterday was all about the ritual humiliation of tRUmp, dished out by Putin, and the US president's brain being too rusty to realise.

I also indulged in a long sub-thread on my fears about what's happening in Washington DC.
Catch up here:

It's official. tRUmp's supposed skill at making a deal is absolutely RANK

Russia
Afghanistan
NK (North Korea)

#TraitorTrump promised a deal with his mate in NK, got nothing.
He handed the Taliban everything, got nothing.
Now, ending the war in 24 hours turned into humiliationImage

Tuesday 18 March is Day 1119 of the war in Europe

Putin, the aggressor, the war criminal, presiding over countless heinous crimes, executions, kidnapping of children, is about to be given a pass by Donald J Trump.
The despot and the wannabe talk today.

This is THE daily thread
Yesterday saw an explosive end to a day which started with mystery surrounding a Ukraine hit in Russia, and moved through the thread with some harrowing and shocking tales and scenes from Kherson.

Catch up here! #SlavaUkraïni

During the night 7% of Russia's drones defeated air defence, according to Ukraine's figures.

Kyiv says there were 64 simulator drones which fell harmlessly - I think is a record, but cannot be sure.

Another 63 were shot down, with 10 of 137 attack UAVs reaching targets. Image

Welcome to my daily thread, covering all things #Ukraine every single day since even before the first day of Russia's full invasion.

This is Day 1110 of Putin's long promised land grab - he's also pledged to reunite the rest of the USSR.

More atrocities overnight, let's begin:
For those loving people who urge me to get more sleep, you will be pleased to know there was no alarm this morning; I am refreshed and ready to tackle JD TRussia again.

A busy Friday ended with news of the awful attack in free Donetsk, catch up here:

Coming up news of a significant new oil strike in Russia. While Ukraine sticks to military targets, Putin's horde targets civilians.

#Dobropillya is a small place, but this heinous attack may go down as one of the worst of the war.

Today sees the completion of 3 years of full scale war unleashed by #Russia on #Ukraine.

As signs point to an end to this war relatively soon, the ONLY question which should be asked is: are you happy to reward war-criminal terrorists with land?

Here's THE daily thread:
It's Day 1096 of #Russia 's war.

If you missed anything yesterday, catch up on Saturday's news here:

The #UK is in full focus today.
As @Keir_Starmer prepares to fly to Washington, new sanctions will be unveiled tomorrow.

Foreign Sec @DavidLammy says it will be "the largest package of sanctions against #Russia since the early days of the war eroding its military machine."

Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.

Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.

On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:

100% record in air defence overnight, according to #Ukraine.

Of 83 attack drones fired by #Russia, 61 were shot down by #Ukraine with the other 22 decoys.

I did report a fire in #Sumy last night, but that and damage in #Kharkiv #Poltava + #Kirovohrad were from falling debris. Image
