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.

Welcome to Thursday's thread with all the important news on Russia's illegal war in Ukraine.

It's Day 1275 - the day Putin openly mocks Trump.
After China + India upped oil purchases, the indicted war criminal ordered his army to bomb a US company in🇺🇦

Let's begin:
Ukraine is recovering from the predicted massive overnight attack.

Russia launched more than 600 missiles and drones.

The mayhem started in the last third of yesterday's exhausting thread. If you missed it, click and scroll here:

So let's break down Russia's aerial attack, which consisted of 40 missiles and 574 drones.

Ukraine's air defence intercepted these missiles:
1/4 Kindzhal hypersonic
0/2 ballistic
12/14 Kalibr cruise
18/19 Kh-101 cruise
0/1 unknown

and 546/574 UAVs = 95%

11 locations were hit. Image

It's Day 1274 of Ukraine's incredible defence of its people, land, culture + shielding many NATO states, next on Putin's hit-list from his long stated dream to reunite the USSR

Somehow Trump & his cults (I nearly misspelled that) seem intent on helping Putin.
Here's the daily🧵
Tuesday was another 50+ post thread, packed full of some more untold insights into Ukraine news and life, including the resurgence of Covid and a language 'foul' on the football field.

But politics and Russian atrocities are omnipresent.
Here's your link
Let me start with an unwanted shock for residents in Poltava, who were warned of a radiation threat this morning, I imagine sparking all sorts of horrific thoughts.

Thankfully, the governor says it was human error, Myrhorod should've had an air alert, not the radiation warning. Image

There's an angry reaction from a wide cross section of society to Trump's compliant acceptance of Putin doing just what he wanted on U.S. soil

Welcome to my🧵on Day 1270 of Russia's war. I've never missed a day, if you want to support my quest for truth
ko-fi.com/twmcltd
Yesterday proved to be about a 26 hour long thread, which even for me was crazy!

Ukraine had great success striking military targets, while eventually, Putin had great success manipulating Trump.

Here's the link if you're catching up:

It's distasteful seeing leaders pussy-foot around, scared to upset Trump's fragile ego

Zelenskyy's forced to be careful, but Ukraine's always been ready for the unconditional ceasefire Trump first demanded 5 months ago. So no surprise he's travelling to Washington on Monday

It's Alaska Day, or a couple of half-baked Alaskas meeting later as Russia hopes to carve up Ukraine, with Trump's approval.

That's much later on Day 1269 of Putin's war.
As I start this thread at around 02:30 GMT, 05:30 Ukraine, there is a big attack on Russia.
Let the🧵begin
In a rush to get to sleep, so let me waste no further time in giving the link to yesterday's thread.

Both X and BSky have been a bit crappy scrolling through threads. One thing you can do is click my profile and then "replies", click one + scroll up

So, as I posted a few minutes ago at the end of Thursday's thread, a big, successful attack on another oil refinery in Russia.

This time it's the Rosneft plant in the city of Syzran, in Saratov region.

Whoever said 7 days is a long time in politics was dead right.

An about turn from tough guy & threats to TACO queen & Putin's poodle. And the next 7 days is now set to bring another cosy meet between a felon and an indicted war criminal.

It's Day 1263 of THE Ukraine thread:
A later start to Saturday's thread because of a crazily late finish to the last🧵

Fewer than 20,000 views for the first time in weeks on such an important day🤨🤔

So much effort and so little impact some days 😢

President Zelenskyy's damning response to the TrumPutin plan came early in social media posts - the full subtitled video is next in my🧵

As I said last night when Trump announced details, Putin got EVERYTHING he wanted (again) & gave up nothing, not even secondary tariffsImage

Day 1261 - the White House thinks the war in Ukraine is coming to an end.

Especially as the Kremlin has this morning announced Putin and Trump will meet in the coming days.
But is the war criminal just duping the US Pres again and buying more time?

Follow me & today's thread:
Much of Wednesday was taken up with the politics surrounding US envoy Wirkoff's latest chummy chat with Putin.

But then it turned dark, literally as the sun went down, but Ukraine looks to have had the better of the drone exchanges.
Catch up here:

I think we should start with the latest from Moscow on the first of the meetings which most hope will end the war, but few realists believe.

The venue has been arranged - this is from one of Russia's state news agencies. Image
