Welcome to Day 394 of the war - exactly 13 months since #Russia began its illegal full invasion.

Here's the daily news thread for Friday.
Thursday was quiet and one of the shorter threads - catch up here:

1/2
Things are hotting up in #Russia - and not only with the end of winter.

There's been a definite uptick in #RussiaOnFire stories in the last two weeks and some interesting places are becoming victims of 'careless smokers'.

Today I have for you videos from near #Yekaterinburg
2/2

This is in #Aramil, in Sverdlovsk region.

The #RussiaOnFire building is the research and production complex. This plant actively works for #Russia's Defence sector.

#StopRussia
It's another 1,000-plus day for #Ukraine.

That's the number of #Russia's invaders they estimate to have been killed in the fighting in the last 24 hours.

APVs and Artillery Systems numbers are also above the mean.

#RussiansGoHome
Here's the daily update from London.

Everything according to plan for #Putin in the mission to take #Kyiv in 3-4 days!

I get the feeling discontent inside the Kremlin is growing. #Russia's leader is in danger of being cornered and needs a 'result' in #Ukraine.
#Ukraine's General Staff report #Russia's Occupiers have had to double the number of beds in its military hospitals in #Luhansk

That's despite all the currently wounded officers being flown out of the war zone by helicopter last week. Ukraine says there's a lack of medical staff
1/2
#Russia did attack #Ukraine overnight with some success, although the worst damage may have been avoided when, as I reported last night, two Kh-59 missiles aimed at #Odesa were shot down.

However #Sumy region and #KrivyiRih (RU: #KrivoyRog) were hit early today

#SaveUkraine
2/2

Missiles were also fired from aircraft in #Sumy region, with up to 10 thought to have hit. Officials say "losses are being specified."

In #KrivyiRih multiple attack drones crashed in to targets. Here's the moment one hit the city in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

#StopRussia
In #Donetsk smoke is rising in the #Kyivskyi district of the occupied city.

#RussiansGoHome
At least 3 civilians are feared dead in #Kostyantynivka (RU: #Konstaninovka) in free #Donetsk, after #Russia hit a "point of invincibility"

Such places across #Ukraine are supposed to be points of refuge during times of power cuts.
Many places and street names continue to be renamed in #Ukraine.

#Kyiv has agreed a whole host of changes including the famous, central Lva Toltoho Square and street.

#StopRussia
UPDATE from in #Kostyantynivka (RU: #Konstaninovka)

The death toll is now five. They were murdered by #Russia when it targeted the civilian safe-spot of the "Invincibility Point" in the town in #Donetsk this morning.

The bodies of 3 women and 2 men were removed from the rubble.
#Ukraine has handed back to #Russia all seriously wounded prisoners of war.

This is NOT a prisoner exchange.
Kyiv has unilaterally repatriated the seriously ill as per the Geneva Convention.

#StandWithUkraine
Nothing to see here... just a man of the church in #Russia kicking a female pensioner in #Moscow.

As a defacto branch of the FSB, anyway connected with the Moscow patriarch of the Orthdox Church seems to feel they are invincible from any crimes in #Putin's Russia.
#Estonia expels a diplomat from #Russia for spreading propaganda and causing divisions in Estonian society.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState

#BakhmutHolds

Indeed, I understand #Ukraine has completely unblocked the minor road O-0506 to the west of #Bakhmut. That's the route to #ChasivYar and crucial for keeping supply lines open.

One man's died, another is badly wounded by enemy shelling in #Kherson.

They were hit while on the river as #Russia shelled the embankment area. A 55 year old died with shrapnel wounds to his chest. A 77 year old has injuries to his chest + limbs.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
A policeman is among those killed in #Russia's overnight attack on #Sumy region.

The town of Bilopil' was bombarded with 80 grad rocket attacks and 20 by barrel artillery

37-year-old Lieutenant Vadym Listopad and a civilian died. 9 others were injured.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
This is wonderful to see.

Oleksandr Matsievskyi may have gone, but will never be forgotten. A hero of #Ukraine, he was gunned down by Russian soldiers for saying "#SlavaUkraini"

Now some talented guys have painted a mural of Oleksandr in #Rivne.
A British spy plane, accompanied by two RAF fighter jets, have been spotted in the Black Sea, a little south of #Crimea, in international waters.

#StandWithUkraine
At last, #France based @leroymerlinfr has finally announced it is selling all its stores in #Russia.

They had over a year of blood money and contributed significantly to the Terrorist State's war chest during this time.
🔞WARNING GRAPHIC VIDEO🔞

Incredible new video's just released from #Hostomel + #Bucha of the first hours after liberation almost a year ago.

Military Media Centre's footage shows the horrific devastation, even before the worst war crimes were known.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
What's that doing there?
#Switzerland isn't happy seeing its equipment on the frontline in #Donetsk!

nzz.ch/schweiz/panzer…
Bloomberg says #SouthAfrica is "unlikely" to arrest #Putin if he arrives for the BRICS conference.

That means the government breaking its pledge to fulfill the Rome charter it signed up to and defying the International Criminal Court order to detain the suspected war criminal.
1/2
#Ukraine has reacted angrily this evening to reports by the @UN earlier today which alleged executions of Prisoners of War, beatings and arbitary detention and mistreatment of civilians on BOTH sides in the war.

ukraine.un.org/en/224744-un-h…
2/2

#Ukraine's ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets points out that the UN has had 100% access to Prisoners of War while #Russia has not anyone visit a single war detainee.

Furthermore Mr Lubinets points out there is no proof in the reports, which are based solely on word of mouth.

It's Day 1451 of the attempt to wipe Ukraine off the map/

Russian athletes compete at the #WinterOlympics while a Ukrainian athlete is in court right now trying to overturn his ban.

This is THE daily thread. Facts not fabrication. Proof not propaganda. Every single day.
Here's the link for the start of yesterday's thread, for those playing catch-up.

A day dominated by the IOC's own goal, but more, regular attacks by Russia day and night.

Another tragedy/massacre in Ukraine, with at least four civilians killed in another Russian airstrike.

It happened in Kramatorsk in free Donetsk.
Three of those killed were under 21 years of age, the other victim was in his 60s.

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
