Saturday is Day 381 of #Russia's attempt to obliterate #Ukraine from the map, to destroy an independent nation and centuries of culture.

This is the only thread you need for all the news and developments around the war, here's y'day's thread to catch up:

Starting today with the British Intel update. London confirms that #Wagner troops have reached the centre of #Bakhmut. However they explain why #Ukraine is still holding #Russia at bay in the #Donetsk town.

They don't supply a map, so I've added 2 from Google + DeepState to help
There are so many exaggerations, lies & fakes in all wars; I guess these days it's easier, quicker to spread + difficult & time consuming to try to spot fakes.

But here's one. As news of Leopard tanks being deployed by #Ukraine, a crude photoshop of a🇷🇺 chevron on an old photo
Something else #Russia loves to do is humiliate people. Even schoolchildren.
This girl in #Crimea posted on Insta that a popular #Ukraine supermarket may open in Sevastopol and "soon we will return home."

So she's then forced to "apologise" in front of the Occupiers' flag.
Many explosions reported this morning in various districts of #Melitopol'. No reports on what exactly happened, but unlikely to be Occupiers' training if the bangs are so widely spread.

In my opinion the small city in #Zaporizhzhia is likely the key to stopping #Russia.
nother day with over 1,000 soldiers* sacrificed by #Russia in its' attempt to destroy #Ukraine. This is supported by the British update explaining how invaders are picked off in #Bakhmut by reinforced Ukrainian positions, and it's replicated throughout #Donbas.

* Kyiv estimate
It's equally disgusting and unbelievable what #Russia does.
First they whine about American/UK/EU "interference" anywhere the people want freedom. Then they basically threaten an invasion if the people of #Georgia don't cease their demonstrations.

Threats because they're worried
The UK targets @Olympics sponsors after @iocmedia continues to support the inclusion of athletes from the Terrorist State in the Paris games next year.

Around 250 #Ukraine athletes have been murdered in the illegal war. 1000s more have nowhere to train.

After sabotage of a railway line at #Bakhchisaray in Occupied #Crimea, it's reported Tatars are again being targeted by #Russia

Protest group FemAgainstWar says Akhtyom Ismailov's home in #Simferopol was raided today. He's the 3rd Crimean Tatar to have his home searched.

The news of the persecution of #Crimea's Tatar community comes shortly after political prisoner Dzhemil Gafarov died in a pre-trial detention centre.

Dzhemil was a defendant in the Hizb ut-Tahrir case, where the FSB is detaining activists of the Crimean Tatar movement.
Four areas of #Ukraine still suffer from lack of power as a result of the mass missile attack.

#Kharkiv, #Zhytomyr #Dnipropetrovsk and #Mykolaiv are all still affected.

However Ukrenergo says a TPP in #Kharkov has been repaired and Kharkiv may have full power again soon.
#Slovakia's a key figure in the alliance. But a new poll puts ex PM Robert Fico ahead. He recently said the war in #Ukraine was started by "Ukrainian fascists" in 2014, and it's impossible to return annexed #Crimea.

Elections are in 6 months. Fico's Smer-SD leads.
Poll: DennikN
#RussiaOnFire

During the night a big blaze at the plastic production workshop in Kolabino near #Moscow.

The roof of the building collapsed as the fire intensified.
#Russia's MoD releases a video showing it hitting a British-made Stormer HVM anti-aircraft missile system, given to #Ukraine.

They claim it was destroyed by "a high-precision loitering ammunition of the Lancet type."

I've been checking this for a while and it looks genuine.
Three people have been killed in another atrocious Russian war crime inflicted on #Kherson.

#Russia's forces deliberately hit the popular ATB supermarket. A woman in her 30s and two men in their 40s and 50s died.
Three others were injured, including a 75 year old woman.
A big explosion this morning in #Kostiantynivka (RU: #Konstantinovka)

#Russia continues to shell all towns and villages near the frontline.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
Yep, the Kremlin's old favourite (in its huge armoury of disinfo nonsense) about "bio labs" is due another run out.

Video from the scene of the awful war crime in #Kherson.

A supermarket on a Saturday, deliberately shelled by #Russia's animals.

A reminder 3 people died and a 75 year old woman is among the injured.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
More war crimes on video - this time in #Vuhledar (RU; #Ugledar)

Thermite munitions used on the town in #Donetsk.
Thousands of residents remain, one filmed this, you can see civilian cars getting hit. This is against the Geneva Convention.
Unconfirmed reports of explosions in #Zaporizhzhia. Air raid warning was sounding at the time.
Not known if it was air defence.

#StandWithUkraine
The attack on #Zaporizhzhia has been confirmed now.

#Russia fired S-300 missiles again, aimed at critical infrastructure. No further news of damage or injuries yet.

In occupied #Mariupol' smoke rises from near the airfield.

There have been widespread reports of explosions.

#DonetskIsUkraine
2/2

Many are writing about a video showing smoke near the centre of #Mariupol suggesting it too is a strike by #Ukraine.

However, here's a better video; it seems to be a house fire. Could be a missile but more likely gas or domestic accident in my opinion.

#StandWithUkraine
Another scandal touches @AndriyYermak who heads #Zelenskyy's Presidential office.

Ukraine Online reveals that the Chief Prosecutor of #Kyiv Oleh Kiper used to be personally hired by Yermak as an adviser.
Recently it became known Kiper's wife has a Russian passport & tax number.
Tony N, thank you for another donation to the coffee fund!
As always, very much appreciated and yes - here's to defeat for the evil empire!
💙💛
#Russia seem scared of the #Kraken unit, and their mood won't be improved after seeing this video made by the crack #Ukraine squad.

The Ukraine special forces claim they destroyed two of Russia's observation towers in the #Bryansk and #Kursk regions.

Welcome to my daily thread, covering all things #Ukraine every single day since even before the first day of Russia's full invasion.

This is Day 1110 of Putin's long promised land grab - he's also pledged to reunite the rest of the USSR.

More atrocities overnight, let's begin:
For those loving people who urge me to get more sleep, you will be pleased to know there was no alarm this morning; I am refreshed and ready to tackle JD TRussia again.

A busy Friday ended with news of the awful attack in free Donetsk, catch up here:

Coming up news of a significant new oil strike in Russia. While Ukraine sticks to military targets, Putin's horde targets civilians.

#Dobropillya is a small place, but this heinous attack may go down as one of the worst of the war.

Today sees the completion of 3 years of full scale war unleashed by #Russia on #Ukraine.

As signs point to an end to this war relatively soon, the ONLY question which should be asked is: are you happy to reward war-criminal terrorists with land?

Here's THE daily thread:
It's Day 1096 of #Russia 's war.

If you missed anything yesterday, catch up on Saturday's news here:

The #UK is in full focus today.
As @Keir_Starmer prepares to fly to Washington, new sanctions will be unveiled tomorrow.

Foreign Sec @DavidLammy says it will be "the largest package of sanctions against #Russia since the early days of the war eroding its military machine."

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
