This is the start of the daily 🧵for Day 386 of #Russia's war of choice in #Ukraine.

For all Wednesday's news, including US pilots volunteering for Ukraine, assassination plot against an EU figure and an unexplained fire on occupied #Berdyansk, click⬇️

I'll start today with #BakhmutHolds.
No big changes to report. #Wagner troops have advanced right into the centre, but it's constantly changing as the cattle get slaughtered and retreat.

Some #Russia channels claim #Khromove on the west of #Bakhmut is captured but not confirmed.
Speaking of slaughter of Russians, the number of invading soldiers killed in the last 24 hours tops 1,000 again. A large number of #Russia's troops died in an attack at #Nevelske 20km from #Avdiivka

High numbers of tanks + artillery systems too, plus the aircraft I noted y'day.
Oooh, the British update today is genuinely interesting and newsworthy!

I hadn't mentioned #Vuhledar (RU: #Ugledar) for a couple of days and here's why. Plus, we know now what RAAM is.

#SlavaUkraini
Worth re-tweeting this from yesterday. Yet another #Wagner cemetery has come to light.

Hopefully the spread on social media, even in #Russia itself will show people how badly the 10-day war is going as we approach day 400.

Politico thinks the US has outlined two options for #Ukraine's spring offensive, with a move east through Donetsk and then south most likely.

But the site also claims #Ukraine has also lost "upwards of 100,000" troops killed.

More explosions in #Russia's border territory of #Belgorod last night.

The Governor claims two #Ukraine missiles were shot down in the early hours of this morning. Some residents say debris fell near a thermal power plant in the city.

#StopRussia
A total of 3 people were injured in #Kherson yesterday in #Russia's regular attacks.

The invaders are said to have carried out 88 attacks, firing 413 shells from heavy artillery and "Grads". #Kherson city was hit 5 times.

This was filmed in #Bilozerka early this morning:
There was a scare on the highway near #Kyiv this morning.

A fuel tanker erupted in flames while at a gas/petrol station in #Boryspil. The lorry was carrying 10,000 litres of fuel.

Firefighters managed to stop the blaze spreading to the building or underground tanks.
More guests arriving in #Ukraine.

Today Prime Minister of #Latvia Arturs Karins arrived at #Kyiv's main railway station.

#StandWithUkraine
#Russia continues to deny a new mass mobilisation, but MobilizationNews channel has now counted at least 40 regions where registration papers have been sent out.

The Kremlin says it's just to check details are up to date, but no-one believes it. Fear is growing.

Wow, in the city of #Rostov the FSB's Border Service building is well alight.

#Russia says there was an accident in a warehouse.
Hopefully arsonists beginning the revolution.
Or maybe just careless smokers again 😉

#RussiaOnFire

The fire at the FSB building in #Rostov-na-Don is so good, you want another angle right?

No problem. Enjoy!
#StopRussia
The Pentagon has just released the video of the moment its MQ-9 Reaper drone was downed over the Black Sea.

Two of #Russia's Su-27 fighter jets do indeed spray fuel on the UAV and then the second one appears to clip the Reaper.

The Kremlin denied its jets hit the drone
#Thailand says it has concluded an extradition agreement with #Russia.

Fighting crime is great yeah. Except I wonder if the Thai people have been told in the Russian constitution they won't extradite anyone. So Thailand is being used. Who's taking the Russian rubles in Bangkok?
Curioser and curioser. This is verbatim a statement from a state news agency in #Russia:

"Law enforcement agencies are checking reports of a possible appearance of an armed group of people in one of the districts of the #Oryol region.

Now the information is not confirmed."
UPDATE from #Rostov where the latest #RussiaOnFire story has occurred.

The Emergency Services are still trying to eliminate the fire at the FSB Border Service building. They claim the blaze was started by faulty electrical wiring.

#StopRussia
Hahaha
#Russia says the sudden agreement with #Thailand has nothing to do with 1000s of young Russians fleeing the country to stay in Thailand!

They claim it will enable them to bring Russian prisoners in Thailand "home"
How many new red notices coming?

#Russia claims #Ukraine has fired 13 shells at Occupied #Donetsk in the last hour.

40km east of the city, in the villlage of #Zugres, something pretty big fell in the street. But who fired it?
#RussiansGoHome #DonetskIsUkraine
Remarkable photograph from #Kherson.

#Russia is accused of hitting the courtyard of a medical facility with fire from drones.

Thankfully, medics and patients seem to have avoided injury.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
A rocket hit #Lysychansk in #Luhansk region today. Here's the aftermath.

The town has switched hands 5 times in 8 years.

#LuhanskIsUkraine
Another occupied town clearing up this evening is #Horlivka (RU: #Gorlovka), just north of #Donetsk in the occupied zone.

#SaveUkraine #RussiansGoHome
#RussiaOnFire

A fire broke out this evening at a steel structure plant in the Leningrad region.

Emergency crews went to the village of #Fedorovskaya, about 300km east of St.Petersburg, saying there was a threat of gas canisters exploding.
In #Kyiv today a tribute to those massacred in #Mariupol

It's exactly one year since one of #Russia's worst war crimes when they deliberately bombed the city's theatre which was being used as a bomb shelter, and which had the word "deti" (children) written outside.

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.

First the breaking news - and a third attack of the night inside #Russia.

At the end of yesterday's thread you may have read of the drone attacks on #Voronezh and #Belgorod regions. Well now it's become clear that #Novgorod has also been attacked by #Ukraine's UAVs..
