This is Day 391 of the #RussiaUkraineWar and you've found the start of another daily thread.

For all the news from Monday, click and scroll yesterday's 🧵

Monday was pretty quiet and this morning has started the same way in #Ukraine, with no major news to report overnight, with no update on the drone attack in #Crimea

So let's look at #Russia's daily losses. Almost 1,000 troops: tanks and artillery system numbers above average too
The British daily update uses polite language to effectively say "can you imagine what it's going to be like in #Russia in coming months: psychopaths, drug abusers and thieves are back on the streets, with many of them now suffering PTSD too. Good luck!"
Update from #Crimea
Occupiers have imposed a State of Emergency in #Dzhankoy.

#Russia claimed it shot down the drone last night with only slight damage to one shop and one house.

Just days after the ICC issued war crimes arrest warrants, 15 #Ukraine children have been returned home.

Ombudsman Dmytro Lubynets says in total 308 have "returned to the territory of Ukraine" however he did not say if these youngsters had been in #Russia or an occupied region.
The @nytimes obtained documents showing #China sold $12m worth of drones + accessories to #Russia since the invasion of #Ukraine

DJI drones account for almost 50% of drone imports by Russia and shipments continue though the company said it had stopped.

nytimes.com/2023/03/21/bus…
One of those Chinese drones (see previous tweet) has been shot down today over #Bakhmut.

The DJI Mavic-2 "correction" UAV was taken out by #Ukraine's border guards, though it took "It took several magazines of AK-74 ammunition"

dpsu.gov.ua/ua/news/tri-do…
Continuing the culture of fear in #Russia, they're rushing to make surrendering a crime.

State news agency RIA novosti reports anyone not offering resistance, who allows themselves to be captured, will in future face up to 10 years in jail.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
The last of the G7 leaders to visit #Ukraine has finally arrived in #Kyiv.

#Japan's PM Fumio Kishida arrived via train from Poland, and has headed straight for #Bucha.

Later he will meet with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

#StandWithUkraine
#Zaporizhzhia has been hit with S-300 missiles.

It seems #Russia has fired from #Tokmak, about 100km away, over the other side of the frontline.

#StopRussia
Here's something very controversial.
A UK government official has admitted they will be supplying highly-controversial uranium-depleted ammunition to #Ukraine

It's highly effective at breaching tanks' armour, but has been linked to cancer.

questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questi…
UPDATE on previous tweet:

A couple of months ago #Russia warned it would regard the use of uranium-depleted ammunition as a 'dirty bomb' and "will be harshly responded to by Moscow."

plenglish.com/news/2023/01/2…
A senior lieutenant in #Russia's army looks to have been murdered.

Investigators are checking a theory he may have been poisoned.

This happened at a military camp in Kubovaya near #Novosibirsk. The officer died within minutes of arriving at the camp.

tayga.info/181082
Musk does it again! #Ukraine's military says Starlink terminals are no gro-blocked and won't work in the Occupied zones, even though this is sovereign Ukrainian land.

The report by the Economist says Ukraine now has to use a range of other, more expensive, comms options.
On the face of it more good news for #Ukraine.

But still a distinct lack of detail or assurance.
The Five Eyes Intelligence soon worked out Ukraine would resist #Russia's initial invasion, and have now had 12 months to get top equipment to Ukraine.

As a side note, just been through notifications.

Today I went back 48 hours and saw so many replies which had not shown up when I last checked this morning. Not sure what Twitter does with the algorithm and why some are "hidden" from me for a while. This was happening pre-Musk.
A very short clip said to be from #Zaporizhzhia after the reported missile attack on the city earlier.

Still no official comment from #Ukraine officials.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Earlier today #Russia claimed they had foiled a drone attack on an oil pipeline in #Bryansk region.

The local Governor claims it's the 4th attempt to hit the Druzhba line.

#StopRussia
A house is destroyed in #ChasivYar.

The town is near Bakhmut in #Donetsk region. If #Bakhnut falls, Chasiv Yar is likely to go the same way soon after. But #BakhmutHolds

#StandWithUkraine
It's claimed that #Ukraine destroyed a Command Post of #Russia's army in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.

Around 15 died and another 12 were injured when Ukraine's army hit the camp at Malaya Belozerka near #Vasilevka.

ria-m.tv/news/314912/po…
There were also unconfirmed reports of an attack on one of #Russia's bases in #Donetsk earlier.

#Ukraine sources claim this smoke was rising from a warehouse of equipment with reports of multiple troop deaths also.

#StopRussia
More attack drones are threatening #Ukraine right now.

Explosions reported in #Odesa - contrasting reports about whether it was a UAV being shot down or one of the kamikaze drones hitting the Shkolny military airfield in #Odessa.
This video is unverified

#StopRussia
One #Odesa channel is reporting injuries in the southern city after a drone strike.

The #Odessa-Info site says there is a severe fire after the UAV hit a 3-storey building.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
1/2
Now it makes sense... #Odesa was hit with missiles launched from #Russia's Su-35 fighter jets.
The jets took off from the Black Sea fleet.

#Ukraine's emergency services confirm here are victims but no-one died.
2/2

It's with some irony I have to report that #Russia's rockets hit a dormitory of one of the Orthodox monasteries of the Moscow Patriarchate of #Odesa.

#Odessa #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine's air defence has just announced it managed to shoot down two Kh-59 guided cruise missiles which were fired at #Odesa tonight.

#StopRussia #Odessa #RussiaIsATerroristState
Another new low for #Russia as 8 shells hit a cemetery in #Kherson region today.

Regional Head Oleksandr Prokudin revealed the details of the attack in the village of #Mykhailivka.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
I found this video on the internet. It appears new, but I'm not positive.

It's definitely in #Russia, probably a southern republic, and there are a lot of fresh graves as well as the person being buried there that day.
Confirmation from #Odesa that three people were injured in this evening's attack by #Russia

It's now known 4 Kh-59 air to surface missiles were fired, with two hitting a dormitory of a monastery.

#Odessa #SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Russia's invaders say 8 people have been admitted to hospital in occupied #Kherson with "symptoms of bird flu."
Thanks to the supersleuths who follow me and managed to locate the latest Russian cemetery video to the very far East of #Russia.

@PaxLusitanica @adienis and here @nenajous all chipped in.

Quarantine, HazMat suits, face masks...

No, not the return of #Covid19 - instead #Russia's reaction to #BirdFlu in occupied #Kherson region of #Ukraine I reported a little earlier.

There are 8 suspected cases, one has been confirmed by lab tests.
Drones over #Kyiv oblast.
Air Defence seems to have shot down at least one already.

The war in Europe continues. This is Day 1445 of Russia's attempt to erase Ukraine from the map & destroy its language and culture.

The genocide continues as I type, with a massive missile attack underway.

For all the news as it happens, keep checking back. This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday started with a supposed assassination attempt on another very senior Russian soldier.

A load of other great stories too, including the start of the overnight attack on Ukraine's remaining energy facilities. Catch up on what you missed here:

Having seen around 200 attack drones flying at the height of Russia's attack tonight, there are now around half that.

Day 1444 of Russia's merciless war has begun with the invaders losing another Lieutenant General - has Ukraine's special services struck again?

Detail on all the stories, all day, every day in my daily thread. Let's Go!
Thursday's thread included the release of a relatively small number of POWs - but finally some Azov fighters were freed.

And double delight for Ukraine tennis fans, to offset a little of the pain of more Russian attacks.
If you missed anything, click⬇️

So, Russia's reporting (which doesn't necessarily make it true) that one of the most senior Generals has been shot.

Lt Gen Vladimir Alekseev is said to be alive and in hospital after the attack in Moscow.

What makes me a little suspicious is there are no photos from the scene. Image

It's Monday, the second day of the 2nd month.
Day 1440 of Russia's illegal full invasion of its sovereign neighbour.

As we approach another round of "peace talks", Russia seems to be preparing by committing an ever growing number of sickening war crimes.

This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday was one of those days when I was repeatedly sickened by the actions of the monsters from Moscow.

The "energy truce" broken by attacking a bus of civilian miners heading to work. A medical building inc. a maternity unit hit, and more
Review here
Monday is a day of mourning in Dnipropetrovsk region following the deliberate targeting of a bus in the small town of Ternivka, near Pavlohrad.

16 people were killed. Another 14 are in hospital, seven of whom are in a serious condition.

Saturday 27 December 2025 is Day 1403 of Russia's war of choice.

The day began with missile attacks on Ukraine shortly after midnight and the terrorism continued with drone strikes, may into residential areas, with Kyiv bearing the brunt of the damage.

Here's THE daily thread
Here's the link to yesterday's thread, which started with Russian murders, missiles on streets in Kharkiv and ended with the missile attack on Kyiv.

But there were also 'direct sanctions' taken by Ukraine on war criminals and military targets:

News is still coming in from Kyiv especially after the awful bombardment. Mayor of the city, @Vitaliy_Klychko has just issued an update saying 28 people have been injured, with 13 hospitalised

Although the city's had the air raid warning lifted, it's still affecting Kyiv region Image

Christmas Eve is another milestone as we mark the latest 100 days of war

Yes, it's Day 1400 of Ukraine's fight for its existence.
Coming up:
Zelenskyy accepts peace plan but are we really nearer peace?
A twist in Moscow's 2nd car bomb in 24 hours.
And all the news yet to happen
A very late start today - I apologise but it's Christmas time with things to do, places to go and also my body demanding enough sleep to survive!

So we start as usual with the throwback to yesterday for you to catch up, which included car bomb #2..

The seemingly random attack on police officers in Moscow last night, may have been a Ukraine targeted attack.

Two "traffic officers" died overnight on the same street where a Lt Gen was eliminated the day before.
Now it's reported the dead were in Ukraine and tortured civilians Image

This is the start of Tuesday's daily thread, with all the important news from, and relevant to, Ukraine in one handy place.

It's Day 1385 and I've still never missed a day of fact checking, analysing and reporting every aspect of the defence against Russia's illegal war.
Yesterday a lot of talking behind the scenes, but politicians were broadly tight-lipped on progress.

Russia did make more small gains on the frontline, but we also found a cat with burned whiskers + how Russian pilots' head-tennis went disastrously wrong
Pres Zelenskyy's whirlwind tour continues, arriving in Rome this morning to meet the Pope at Castle Gandolfo.

At Villa Barberini, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was welcomed by the vice-regent of the papal household, Augustinian Father Edward Daniang Daleng.
