This is Day 347 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine and my 347th Daily Thread.

Welcome along to the place for all the news and analysis in one handy 🧵

Saturday was quiet, but here's the link in case you were busy and need a refresher:

Now for many in the #UK, today is "Happy Valley Day" - the finalé of the very popular TV series.

Actor Sarah Lancashire donated her police hat and shoulder numbers which raised over £4,000 for #Ukraine at a Halifax Ukrainian Club charity event.

This morning's Intel update from the UK is the grimmest for a while. It seems they expect #Bakhmut to fall soon.

#StandWithUkraine Image
Another 700 dead Russian soldiers according to the daily stats released by #Ukraine.

#RussiansGoHome Image
Central #Kharkiv has been hit by #Russia.

A residential building has been hit, there is a fire now.
Local Governor Sinehubov says initial investigations show the invaders attacked with a S-300 missile.

"Information about the victims and destruction is being specified."
A big hit this morning in #Druzhivka in #Donetsk too.

#Russia says it's a pinpoint strike on redeployed #Ukraine reserves who'd just arrived in the town near #Kramatorsk
It's now known at least three people have been injured in #Russia's latest attack on #Kharkiv.

A 54-year-old woman and two men aged 51 and 55 were wounded. The woman was hospitalised with a shrapnel wound, the men were treated on the spot.

Going out on a limb here with a wild guess.

Rubles? 🇷🇺💰💶

In #Kherson, firefighters have been busy.

More incendiary weapons were used on the city overnight according to local officials

For all the fuel price caps and sanctions, it's reports like this which show why #Russia isn't suffering like it should be.

#India buys more and more #Russian oil. Then resells as Indian fuel for the west.

A fourth person has been injured in #Kharkiv.
A security guard was treated for minor cuts and bruises.

The four storey residential building was hit with one missile while a 5-storey college building was also struck. Image
The first video from the scene of #Russia's attack on #Kharkiv is very upsetting.

Remarkable seeing this that no-one died. Four injuries.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
A couple of hours ago there was a loud bang in #Belgorod. No explanation from any official in #Russia.

Now rumours are growing it was a Russian aircraft crashing. Trying to find out the truth.
In occupied #Vesele (RU: #Veseloe) 'several' explosions recorded by locals. The village is in #Zaporizhzhia region, about 20km from the oblast border with #Kherson.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
More photos of the carnage wrought by #Russia's missiles in #Kharkiv earlier.

Five people injured as two separate S-300s hit the centre of #Ukraine's second city.

The two buildings hit were a residential block and a college.

In occupied #NovaKakhovka explosions at a yacht club.

The Maxmarine establishment is a club where #Russia's elite among the invaders are known to enjoy socialising. Could be some interesting losses...

#StopRussia
An upscale restaurant in #Kyiv, next to #Ukraine's Intelligence Dept, was bugged.

Over 10 bugs were found in the Steakhouse, which has been sealed off the now.

Police think the recordings were not directly controlled by #Russia but sold by local traitors.

More shelling this afternoon in #Kherson region.

This is #Beryslav - being hit more and more often from the other side of the river.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine Image
Widely reported in #Ukraine tonight, confirmation @oleksiireznikov is being sacked as Defence Minister.
He'll be replaced by popular Military Intel chief Kyrylo Budanov.

Reznikov will become Minister for Strategic Industries of Ukraine, a big demotion, replacing Pavel Ryabykin.
16 children, abducted by #Russia, have been returned to #Kherson.

Delighted mothers were given the news that their children are safe. 4 months ago the youngsters were sent to #Yevpatoria in #Crimea and looked unlikely to return.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome Image
Those who have lived under #Russia's repression continue to be the ones who respond best to tackling Russian aggression.

#StandWithUkraine #Lithuania

The Head of the Russian Orthodox Church has often been seen as an FSB operativ, and now a Swiss newspaper has proven his links with th KGB.

Patriarch Kirill's duty in the 1970s was to gain influence in the World Council of Churches.

The @FT says #Russia will begin a new offensive within 10 days, and it's likely to be in #Luhansk from Kreminna.

It's speculation based on troops massing there. The new mobiks could be moved a little south to the #Bakhmut offensive but they do have enough for a wide attack.

Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.

Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.

On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:

100% record in air defence overnight, according to #Ukraine.

Of 83 attack drones fired by #Russia, 61 were shot down by #Ukraine with the other 22 decoys.

I did report a fire in #Sumy last night, but that and damage in #Kharkiv #Poltava + #Kirovohrad were from falling debris. Image

Good morning world, on Day 1076 of #Russia's genocidal war on #Ukraine

It's now 14 days since Trump's inauguration & no peace deal, but his "peace envoy" Kellogg is expected to visit both aggressor and defender soon.

Here's Monday's daily thread. All you need to be in the know
Daily🧵views were slightly up over the weekend, which is heartening as it's a critical time.

#Ukraine is starting to hurt #Russia logistically, while Putin responds by killing civilians, confident he'll soon get a Trump-pass.

Read Sunday's news here:
While #Ukraine hurt #Russia infrastructure during the night (covered at the end of last night's thread), the terrorist state still has success with its own drone attacks.

More than 11% got through 🇺🇦defences overnight, with 38 of 71 UAVs being stopped and 25 likely decoys. Image

Sunday 19 January is Day 1061 of #Russia's all-out war in #Ukraine. We are also just 2 weeks away from the 4,000th day since #Moscow's initial invasion with the start of its illegal takeover of #Crimea

Welcome to another daily thread with all the news you need in one place 💙💛
Thankfully a quieter start to Sunday than yesterday, which means I get a later start today.

Saturday was all about #Russia's double ballistic attack which brought death to 2 #Ukraine cities.
Catch up on that and all yesterday's stories here⬇️

#Russia's overnight attack was less intense, but still, two attack drones slipped through the net according to #Ukraine's air defence figures.

43 of 61 UAVs were destroyed, with 15 decoy/simulation drones posing no threat and one still flying this morning. Image

Hello on Day 1054 of #Russia's terrorist campaign in #Ukraine.

I've been working for a while today, tidying up loose ends, but a late start to the daily thread - the only feed you need for all the important news and analysis.

So a lot to catch up on, let's go again!
Normally I pin the first post of the thread on my profile page, but for another 24 hours the pinned item is about the auction for a truly unique item - please check it out

So, it's even more important I post a link back to yesterday's thread. Here we are
#Ukraine's air defence team worked very efficiently last night and this morning.

#Russia launched 94 drones from four directions.
60 were shot down and 34 more 'simulators' or others were also stopped.

Some houses in #Kharkiv #Sumy and #Poltava regions were damaged by debris. Image

Christmas Day 2024. Day 1036 of the war inflicted on #Ukraine. The third Christmas for Ukrainian people to suffer. Empty chairs at the dinner table, that will never be filled again. Others at the frontline fighting for their lives and the life of the country.

It's the daily🧵
So Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah to those celebrating.

A special shout out too, to those working this special day. Also working today, emergency workers in #Ukraine after another massive missile attack

Before that, catch up on yesterday's news here
Thank you to all those who've sent me Christmas messages and bought me coffee - I will round up the sponsors' roll of honour later today.

But first the grim, but expected, news of #Russia's missile attack carried out this Christmas morning.
