Another Russian fighter jet has been shot down today.
#Ukraine's Defence hit the Su-25 in the #Donetsk region. That's 7 enemy aircraft downed in 36 hours by the Ukrainians, increasing the belief air defence has been significantly improved on the frontlines.
Earlier today a car exploded in occupied #Berdyansk.
It's reported by Telegram channel RIA-Melitopol (their photo) that the Resistance has hit a well known collaborator Valentina Mamai
Awaiting confirmation
Just what the world needs..
One of #Russia's warships, laden with hypersonic missiles, is sailing west and will soon be within strike range of the USA.
Having said that, there are many land based weapons able to reach the U.S., so no real change.
@DmytroKuleba posted on Facebook to say he's already been contacted by an overseas partner saying they're working on supply fighter jets after the positive decision on tanks.
#Ukraine's Military Intelligence releases a video (my rough edits) claiming they launched an amphibious raid into Occupied #Kherson
Last night they claim to have destroyed an enemy command post at #NovaKakhovka. About 12 Russians were killed and one taken prisoner in the attack.
Now just need the personnel, fuel, shells and parts for repairs as and when needed.

Starting in traditional way with a chance for you to check back through yesterday, in case you missed Orban's undiplomatic words about #Ukraine, the latest big blaze in the series #RussiaOnFire or anything else during Friday.
Speaking about Orbán's stupid remarks, he's not alone in the region with #Russia also having culivated useful political idiots in #Croatia#Slovakia + #Czechia
Hopefully an election in 🇨🇿 today will sideline one more (Babiš) as @motytchak explains here:
Welcome to the daily news thread for Day 338 of the #RussianUkrainianWar, with all the important bits, hopefully some stories you won't see elsewhere and a bit of comment too as #Ukraine continues its heroic defence of freedom and democracy.
Read on...
Awful start to yesterday, but a quiet end to the day and still calm this Friday morning so far.
If you need to catch up on Thursday's events, here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread - scroll through at your leisure.
1/2 First let's update you on the territorial situation at the front. You probably know I seldom publish or link to maps; to be frank many are guesswork and often out of date.
The British MoD has validated my previous rebuttal of #Russia's claims of gains in #Zaporizhzhia oblast
Thursday 26 January starts with millions in #Ukraine sheltering in bunkers, as waves of drones have been threatening the country and now #Kyiv is under threat
This is the daily thread with all the news, updated throughout each & every day...
So much news yesterday afternoon and evening.
Firstly the tank-coalition news then the angry reply from #Russia.
To glance through anything you may have missed, just click and scroll Wednesday's thread here:
Today it's Day 336 of #Russia's full invasion and war on #Ukraine.
It's also a special day for many people.
Burns' Night in #Scotland
St Dwynwen's Day for lovers in #Wales
While it's also the 45th birthday of @ZelenskyyUa - mnogo lita Mr President!
Here's the daily thread
@ZelenskyyUa It should also be a very special day for #Ukraine's military leaders with confirmation coming from #Germany and the #USA that the country's top fighting tanks are finally going to be given to the country.
The news leaked out y'day. Here's Tuesday's thread
It continues to be fairly quiet in #Ukraine with no major missile attack for 9 days and even mortar attacks are less frequent in some of the usual hotspots.
In #Sumy for instance 'just' 15 mortars in Novoslobidsk and Shalyhinsk was shelled with artillery just once.
No injuries.
