Rescuers are still working in #Dnipro, into the 4th day of sifting through the rubble. All hope of finding anyone still alive looks to have evaporated now.
The death toll remains at 40. Others are still reported to be missing.
Oleksiy @arestovych has resigned from his position of Adviser to #Ukraine's President
Arestovych apologised for his "error" of saying the #Dnipro disaster may have been caused by an anti-aircraft missile hitting the Russian Cruise rocket.
Calls for his resignation grew.
If you were with me in the early hours of the morning (or diligently read the thread since then!), you'll remember this overnight excitement in #Belgorod region.
The Governor claims only power lines were damaged.
Very little has happened today in #Ukraine, which is a good thing.
Not even politically much new to report.
The rescue operation at Dnipro concluded earlier today. These are the innocent children who lost their lives because of a Russian missile.
Warning - very emotional video.
A tearful Grandfather in #Dnipro shows his anger at #Russia after the loss of his one year old grandchild.
He wishes all Russians to suffer because of the pain they spread.
#RussiaOnFire - all the hallmarks of an insurance job
The idea of #Russia's largest 5-star hotel being in #Siberia, and of all places in non-descript #Manzherok always looked stupid.
Now, with no tourist trade, the 304-bed hotel spontaneously combusted just before completion.
Punch him in the face and say: "Excuse me, it was your air defense that didn't work, I thought it was a military base, and in general, what are you doing on NATO territory?! F*ck off!"
The pressure on #Ukraine's defenders in #Bakhmut grows each day as #Wagner and regular troops from #Russia's army pour in to the hot zone.
Speaking of being at the front, here's a cool story and a decent listen too.
Sorry there are no subtitles for the interview bit, but everyone will understand! #Ukraine #HeroiamSlava
Mayor of #Dnipro thinks the true death toll in the apartment block massacre may be over 50.
Boris Filatov thinks the mixture of cold night and burning rocket fuel may have literally removed all trace of some residents.
The official death toll from #Russia's missile is 45
Great to see #Russia's embassy in Sweden acknowledging the four occupied regions of mainland #Ukraine, and even #Crimea, as still belonging to Ukraine!
The war in Europe continues. This is Day 1445 of Russia's attempt to erase Ukraine from the map & destroy its language and culture.
The genocide continues as I type, with a massive missile attack underway.
For all the news as it happens, keep checking back. This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday started with a supposed assassination attempt on another very senior Russian soldier.
A load of other great stories too, including the start of the overnight attack on Ukraine's remaining energy facilities. Catch up on what you missed here:
Saturday 27 December 2025 is Day 1403 of Russia's war of choice.
The day began with missile attacks on Ukraine shortly after midnight and the terrorism continued with drone strikes, may into residential areas, with Kyiv bearing the brunt of the damage.
Here's THE daily thread
Here's the link to yesterday's thread, which started with Russian murders, missiles on streets in Kharkiv and ended with the missile attack on Kyiv.
But there were also 'direct sanctions' taken by Ukraine on war criminals and military targets:
News is still coming in from Kyiv especially after the awful bombardment. Mayor of the city, @Vitaliy_Klychko has just issued an update saying 28 people have been injured, with 13 hospitalised
Although the city's had the air raid warning lifted, it's still affecting Kyiv region
Christmas Eve is another milestone as we mark the latest 100 days of war
Yes, it's Day 1400 of Ukraine's fight for its existence.
Coming up:
Zelenskyy accepts peace plan but are we really nearer peace?
A twist in Moscow's 2nd car bomb in 24 hours.
And all the news yet to happen
A very late start today - I apologise but it's Christmas time with things to do, places to go and also my body demanding enough sleep to survive!
So we start as usual with the throwback to yesterday for you to catch up, which included car bomb #2..
The seemingly random attack on police officers in Moscow last night, may have been a Ukraine targeted attack.
Two "traffic officers" died overnight on the same street where a Lt Gen was eliminated the day before.
Now it's reported the dead were in Ukraine and tortured civilians
This is the start of Tuesday's daily thread, with all the important news from, and relevant to, Ukraine in one handy place.
It's Day 1385 and I've still never missed a day of fact checking, analysing and reporting every aspect of the defence against Russia's illegal war.
Yesterday a lot of talking behind the scenes, but politicians were broadly tight-lipped on progress.
Russia did make more small gains on the frontline, but we also found a cat with burned whiskers + how Russian pilots' head-tennis went disastrously wrong
Pres Zelenskyy's whirlwind tour continues, arriving in Rome this morning to meet the Pope at Castle Gandolfo.
At Villa Barberini, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was welcomed by the vice-regent of the papal household, Augustinian Father Edward Daniang Daleng.
