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.

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:

1/2
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

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.
