Things get increasingly tough for #Ukraine in #Donetsk
The map is from TG channel DeepState. The 3 towns I've circled from N➡️S are #Soledar #Pidhorodne + #Bakhmut
The first 2 are now occupied. Pidhorodne is just 300m from north Bakhmut and Russians reported to be there now.

A member of the notorious #Wagner group has made a daring escape across rivers + deep snow.
The unnamed man crossed the barbed wire fence, evading shots fired by #Russia security agents, to reach safety in #Norway and is willing to give legal testimony.

More crazy numbers of cattle slaughtered at the front as expendable Wagner convicts are thrown into the #Donbas front.
A big increase in numbers today in many areas. 12 tanks and 21 APCs both also above the daily mean.

Maybe I was a little unfair with the cannon fodder in the last tweet.
Southern Command says it hit 5 Russian bases in #Kherson + #Zaporizhzia regions, with hits in #Henichesk #Melitopol + #Berdyansk. Often I write about blasts in Occupied areas but we only see confirmation later

I'm completely perplexed by the British report today.
They claim Ukraine maintained positions in #Soledar up to yesterday and then say you need uncommitted troops 😵💫

Journalists in #Oklahoma say this plane is carrying around 100 #Ukrainian service men and women, arriving for training on the Patriot air defence system.
To show what a long battle everyone is expecting now, training is designed to last six months or more.

After analysis of the weekend strikes on #Kyiv, it's confirmed #Russia is using the S-400 air defence system as an attacking weapon.
Experts studied the remains of this 48N6DM missile, newly designed for the S-400, It has a range of about 230km/145 miles.

Anti-Putin protests planned for 21 January 21. Alex says this will happen in many cities to mark the 2nd anniversary of opposition politician Alexey @Navalni's arrest in Moscow.

More shelling in #Kherson. Among the latest places damaged by #Russia is another hospital. Thankfully the regional children's hospital was empty at the time and no injuries
In the Dnipro district of the city, enemy shells hit an apartment building and a boarding school building.

You may have read that @ChelseaFC paid €100m for #Ukraine striker Mykhailo Mudryk, seen here with his new shirt.
Now owner of @FCShakhtar, Rinat Akhmetov says €25m of the fee will be given to the 'Heart of Azovstal' project, helping 🇺🇦 soldiers and families of the fallen.

In #Soledar, it seems #Russia is still suffering casualties even though #Ukraine has retreated just outside the town.
They say 3 bases of the Occupiers were affected: although the time stamp is ok, I cannot verify this footage.

As well as weapons, #Ukraine does still need money to survive and support its population, not least the fighters and those affected by the war.
The alliance is still strong and must remain so. It's an investment in the future of the safety of all of us.

Miss Apanasenko said "I have only one question for her, no answer yet. Does she support the policy of President Putin?"

Gas prices plunged again today.
One index, the ICE exchange saw a 15% fall today alone. Gas is now trading at just over $600 per 1,000 cubic metres, the lowest since August 2021.
UK consumers won't benefit much until the summer as gas suppliers had to buy in advance of winter.

The "Minister of Justice" in the so-called '#Donetsk Republic' has been fired.
It's only just been released to media though it happened 6 days ago. No reason has been given.
Yury Sirovatko seemed to revel in the death penalties handed out to Brits @cossackgundi and Shaun Pinner

Only a mere 48 hours after the #Dnipro attack (and around two hours after my last post about them). @Amnesty has finally been pushed into making a comment about the tragedy.

This is being reported by some media as having only just happened. However, I understand the blasts in the port town in #Zaporizhzhia were in the early hours this morning

This evening the collaborator "Head" of #Russia's occupied part of #Zaporizhzhia admitted the blasts, giving no further details.
These photos have been circulating online of damage on vul.Kabelnyky but the cctv footage looked like a bigger strike to me.

The world famous Klychko brothers are in Davos
At the World Economic Forum, #Kyiv mayor @Vitaliy_Klychko and @Klitschko hope to gain more support
I wonder if either will ask Switzerland if they're repeating their actions of the 1940s when the "neutral" country stored Nazi gold?

A surprisingly high number of my new haters immediately paid Twitter to get a blue tick despite very few followers.
This one almost exclusively replies trying to spread nonsense and propaganda.
The problem with Musk selling blue ticks is it allows states to amplify their BS

For some reason officials at the #StPetersburg shipyards say this is not a fire.
Apparently someone was "testing a boiler plant. So no fire, no damage, no casualties."

I saw a website's interview with one of the alleged #Dnipro killers
As a journalist, in my opinion it's not a story.
The guy didn't admit anything. He used derogatory terms but most Ukrainians use as bad for Russians (and understandably so!)
He may be scum but this isn't a story
