#Ukraine starts three days of mourning following the horrific helicopter crash just outside the capital #Kyiv yesterday morning.
The period of mourning comes just as grieving for the victims of #Dnipro ends.
One long punishment for the people of #Ukraine

@BorisJohnson said #Putin won't use nukes. "He's like the fat boy in Dickens. He wants to make our flesh creep. He's not going to do it. Don't go down that rabbit hole."

One of #Russia's MiG fighter which took off from #Belarus has had to urgently return to the airfield notes monitoring site Gayun.
Locals heard a loud sound similar to an explosion which shook windows. It's though an engine caught fire. It returned to base on its second engine.

Strong rumours another of @ZelenskyyUa's close entourage is on borrowed time.

Quite a lot of explosions heard in #Belgorod as #Russia's air defence works furiously.
There are already reports in two districts of shells landing. This was the sound in #Shebekino a short time ago.

A blaze threatened the Church of Nicholas of Kronstadt in the northern suburbs of #Moscow this morning.
Doesn't look suspicious. It's reported after Epiphany celebrations someone spilled solvents which caught light. He was the only one to suffer slight injuries.

The missile strike on the #Dnipro tower block has claimed another victim.
The regional council has not said who's died in the last 24 hours but confirms 46 now died in the attack.
Presumably it's one of the 11 of the dead who've not yet been identified. Another 11 remain missing

What's going on in #Moscow?
The Terrorist State seems to have installed an air defence system ON TOP of a skyscraper in the capital (see video) as well as on the Ministry of Defence building.

And here's a photo of what looks like an air defence system on top of #Russia's M.o.D.
Surely tactically it's insane? It just makes a huge highly visible target and one that will only be quickly moved if an enemy missile brings down the building.

Recently the grounds in #Ukraine froze with the likelihood of 6-8 weeks of sub-zero temperatures.
But once again an unexpected twist. Today saw its highest January temperature ever recorded, +7.3°С
The previous high was just 5.6°С exactly 20 years ago.

This is #Kakhovka in the occupied Left Bank of #Kherson region.
Two people reported dead and a child injured. #Ukraine is adamant it is not responsible. They claim #Russia is shelling places it occupies near the front line to enable mandatory evacuation of civilians to Russia.

I have not been able to confirm.
