It's Sunday 29 January, but also Day 340 of #Russia's war on its peaceful neighbour.

It's been a crazily busy evening. Both in #Ukraine and #Iran.

Welcome to the daily thread. Here's the link if you need a catch-up on yesterday's events:

Also, I ended up doing a separate thread on #Iran where drones, explosions, fires and earthquakes were all to the fore.

Here's where I tried to keep track of what is/was going on:

One of the big developing stories last night was the alleged attack on occupied #Ilovaisk.

In 2014 unarmed #Ukraine soldiers, given "safe passage" by #Russia were ruthlessly gunned down in Ilovaisk.

This video supposedly shows some of the 7 HIMARS strikes on the train station.
One thing I noticed while researching explosions & earthquake in #Iran is that the Tehran regime is supplying #Russia with a lot of Ruyin-3 body armour

Telegram channel iran_defense also writes Russia is "also using Iranian 'Army-02' series helmets derived from the American ACH"
Back to the bad old days. #Putin's dream of recreating the #USSR come a little closer every day.

21st century Hitler Youth moreorless exists already.
Yet more "cargo" being delivered on big planes to/from #Iran and #Russia.
I'm guessing it's not food on board!

#StopRussia #StopIran
Daily losses totals published by #Kyiv today are subdued.

In the last 24 hours #Russia lost around 650 servicemen (and maybe women).

The only notable tallies are the above average APCs and Artillery Systems.
#StandWithUkraine
My eyebrows raised slightly at the news a 53 year old government minister in the "autonomous" republic of #Tatarstan has died suddenly.

Marat Sadykov was Health Minister.

It comes just as #Russia is about to remove the title President from leader Rustam Minnikhanov.
Occupiers have published video of a suspected #HIMARS strike on #Ilovaisk in #Donetsk.

#Russia complained but it happened after the curfew and the puppet 'government' has not mentioned casualties. #Ukraine bloggers say troops were arriving when the missiles hit.
#Ilovaisk

More photos from the railway station which was targeted last night. Doesn't look as though much will be coming through here for a while, and if #Russia's mobchiks were arriving when #HIMARS struck there will have been a lot of casualties.

#RussiansGoHome
Also in occupied #Donetsk, photos have been published following shellling of #Horlivka (RU: #Gorlovka) yesterday.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
Many of the defenders of #Mariupol remain in captivity.

The heroic #Ukraine servicemen and women ended up in the #Azovstal plant for weeks before the inevitable surrender. Here's how the steelworks looks now:
It's exactly 6 months ago today that #Russia almost certainly bombed its own prison full of #Ukraine Prisoners of War.

The massacre killed 53 people.

Still the @UN @antonioguterres @ICRC @amnesty have not been allowed to visit #Olenivka in occupied #Donetsk region. DON'T FORGET
The @TheStudyofWar seems to suggest #Wagner may be running out of troops for the assault on #Bakhmut

It says #Russia is having to send regular soldiers as the offensive has stalled since #Soledar

Sadly, I disagree, with #Blahodatne having fallen to🇷🇺and #KrasnaHora on the brink
Another anniversary highlighted today by this #Kyiv Telegram channel.

A reminder #Ukraine has repeatedly faced threats to its existence, been occupied, and latterly always from #Russia.

#SlavaUkraini
In #Kherson, the council's transport company has been attacked by #Russia

The invaders destroyed 10 of the city's vehicles with grads rockets.

The utility building was destroyed and 4 private houses were also damaged.
#SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
Another breaking story - Injuries among civilians in #Kherson right now.

About half an hour ago #Russia hit a post office and bank in the city.

A 55 year old woman has suffered shrapnel wounds, other injuries also reported.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine's tank specialists arrived in the #UK this morning for training on Challengers.

#StandWithUkraine️
Update from #Iran...

Still no real proof other than the drone attack filmed on the drone factory. But it does seem as though #Russia's supply of killer UAVs may be slowed up for a while at least:

Partisans in the occupied part of #Zaporizhzhia say a crucial bridge was blown up during the night.

Presumably #HIMARS or similar MLRS systems targeted the bridge at #Svitlodolynske, roughly midway between Tokmak and Melitopol.

It's believed #Russia lost equipment and troops.
It's now known three people died in #Russia's rocket attacks on central #Kherson today.

There are injured too after the shelling near a post office and bank, but #Ukraine's authorities have not given numbers yet.
#RussiaOnFire

This looks like one huge blaze in #Voronezh.
Actually it's just a private house on the Pravoberezhnoe Lesnichestvo settlement.

The residents escaped and the fire has reportedly just been extinguished.
A residential building has been hit in #Kharkiv.

This happened in the Kyivskyi district where S-300 missiles were fired by #Russia.

Casualties reported by locals, but unconfirmed. No official news yet from authorities.
#Croatia has arrested 4 people following the investigation into an oligarch's disappearing yacht.

Alisher Usmanov's "Irina Vu" is valued at $5m.
The 58 year old captain claims he didn't know it was impounded, yet somehow a "lookalike" replaced it in port.

At least 3 people have been injured in #Kharkiv when an apartment block was hit by a Russian missile.

This man says they got right inside people's apartments (the missile)

#RussiaIsATerroristState
The top floor of the apartment block in central #Kharkiv has been destroyed.

Casualty count still three right now, but it seems certain to rise.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine #StopRussia
The British army is no longer regarded by the US as "a top-level fighting force."

news.sky.com/story/us-gener…
One resident has now died in the #Kharkiv attack.

Earlier an elderly woman was known to be trapped under the rubble after #Russia's rocket hit the apartment block in the central Kyivskyi district.
It's not yet clear if she is the one who has died.

Now confirmed the elderly woman trapped under rubble in #Kharkiv is the person killed by #Russia's missile.

More photos here from Reuters, but the information is already out of date.
At least three injured, more details in the morning.

Tuesday 19 November 2024.
I can't quite believe we reached 1,000 days.
#Ukraine is still free, refusing to buckle to the imperialist #Russia

I'm incredibly proud to have documented every single moment, no days off, no holiday, no sickness.

UkrainaOnline encapsulated 1000 days
If you like what I do, if you've never done it before, please consider buying me a coffee on this milestone day. It took a hell of a lot of work.

Thank you to my #TeamTim

Today is Day 999 of Europe's war

It's cold in the UK today. Imagine if you didn't have heat. Not just for one day, but maybe for most of the winter Now imagine it's 10 degrees colder

If you can do that you understand what people in #Ukraine feel, or fear.
Welcome to my daily🧵
Monday and Tuesday are days of mourning in #Sumy region after an horrific attack on an apartment block.

It was the last in a long line of murders of civilians by #Russia on Sunday.

I produced the longest thread for months (over 60 posts) - catch up here
Let me start today's news in #Sumy, because sadly the number of killed + injured after #Russia's strike have both increased.

An 11th person died during the night while 89 people required medical treatment. Medics, rescuers, psychologists and volunteers worked through the night.

Day 998 of #Russia's all out war, and Sunday 17 Nov is the day #Moscow's war criminals chose for the big missile attack on #Ukraine

It's such a difficult time for anyone associated with Ukraine. With the election of Musk/Trump, Putin's convinced terrorism will win.
Here's the🧵
Before I forget, here's the link for yesterday's thread. I know many of you like to catch up on what you've missed in #Ukraine and stories connected to the war.

#Ukraine's FM takes a swipe at #Germany's Chancellor Scholz while declaring this one of the largest air attacks.

From #Chernihiv in the north, to #Odesa in the south.
#Kharkiv in the east to #Lviv in the west. #Russia hits them all.

Hello and welcome to Day 996 of #Russia's barbaric war.

Putin's band of war criminals is throwing everything at #Ukraine's defenders for 2 months as the Kremlin is certain tRUmp will force negotiations and wants to be in the strongest position possible.

Here's the daily thread
#Russia is literally teetering on the edge of economic meltdown. If the west does not take this opportunity to ensure justice, protect borders and prosecute war criminals, historians will look back and shake their heads. They may also ask why do anything in the previous 3 years?
Anyway, let's get on with the stories of the day, although we start as ever with the link back to Thursday's thread.

It was a day which saw more problems for #Russia, more war crimes with a civilian shot dead on the street and a terrible attack on #Odesa

Very near 1000 days of war in Europe, but also we should remember that #Ukraine's allies were pretty happy to let the first invasion by #Russia in 2014 go unchecked.

Weakness, appeasement or shady deals for cash only store up and multiply problems.

Here my daily🧵on Day 995
First thing first, the link for the start of yesterday's thread.

Plenty of evidence of #Russia's pending economic collapse, especially masses of airlines. Plus rioting absconders in Russia and assassination of one of their war criminals. All in here⬇️

100% for air defence overnight

Even though it was quieter than in recent days, and air raid warnings were much shorter, #Russia still fired 59 kamikaze drones at #Ukraine

21 were shot down, 38 stopped by EW.
It seems #Belarus wasn't attacked this time by its friendly neighbour Image
