Welcome to Monday's daily thread documenting #Ukraine's defence against #Russia's full invasion.

It's Day 404 of the war.
What a crazy day Sunday was with a high profile assassination, church shenanigans, and then #Wagner "taking" #Bakhmut.
Review it here
1/2
So what's the situation in #Bakhmut?
#Ukraine vehemently denies this claim made by Prigozhin late last night.

The President's Office says not to believe fakes.
From info I have, Prigozhin made the video at night because the centre is still contested:

2/2
Fighting in #Bakhmut has been ongoing in the centre of the town for a while, so it's likely #Russia made some more ground and #Ukraine was at least temporarily pushed back.

But there's still fighting; ZSU is heavily active in the west of the town and has control of one road.
The number of #Russia's troops killed in the war passes 175,000 today.

Another 600 losing their lives in the last 24 hours according to #Ukraine. Equipment losses remain low.

#RussiansGoHome
Another car bomb attack near #Melitopol'

The Resistance has critically injured another collaborator. Maksym Zubarev decided to work with #Russia when made "head" of occupied Yakymivka (RU: #Akimovka), around 30km or 20 miles south-west of Melitopol'.
More on the car bombing in #Melitopol this morning (see previous tweet).

Here's video from the scene. From previous experience, when the Occupiers say one of their officials is seriously injured, it more than often means dead.

#RussiansGoHome
#Russia's officials in the Occupied territories immediately make up some nonsense for public consumption to prove they're "in control."

Following the hit on Head of #Yakymivka, a 65 year old man has been arrested in the village, supposedly with this illegal haul.
A response from a #Ukraine soldier in #Bakhmut

Repsonding to Prigozhin's claim of "legally" taking the town, in short he says:
"He may have taken #Artemovsk but #BakhmutHolds. It's the Soviet mentality. They believe if you capture an admin building you control the whole city."
Today's British Intel report has extra significance for me. It's impossible to read about the propaganda without thinking of the assassination of Prigozhin's mate Tatarsky, in Prigozhin's cafe.

The Kremlin desperate to reduce Prigozhin's influence and warn others?
1/
#Russia has now detained Dariya Trepova over the murder of "Tatarsky".
At this point it's worth reminding you the "war blogger" was just a convict in jail until the 2014 invasion when he was offered freedom to fight #Ukraine. So he fits right in to Prigozhin's mob!
2/
Here's the first picture of 26 year old Dariya Trepova in custody.

For some reason #Russia says it needed more than 100 security officials to be involved in the special operation to detain her in the north of St Petersburg!

Trying to blacken her name already, Russia says...
3/
.. detained Dariya Trepova is an active supporter of the FBK. That should be a badge of honour - it's an anti-corruption organisation, which of course has long since been banned.

When arrested it's reported Trevova began to laugh and say that it was all a set-up.
4/
Another unidentified man was with Trepova when she was detained.

And then we get the usual line..
"The terrorist act committed yesterday against Vladlen Tatarsky was planned by the Ukrainian special services" of course there's no proof.
Director General of the IAEA @rafaelmgrossi is to visit #Russia on Wednesday.

There's been very little movement or agreement towards a safe zone around the occupied #Ukraine power plants.
A real LOL tweet.
The guy must feel a real dick. Well, he will soon anyway!

Defensive work continues for #Russia's occupiers.

This GMZ-3 was spotted between Mykhailivka and Orlyanka in #Zaporizhzhia region.

This machine can lay a 1km strip of anti-tank mines in 10 minutes.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
More photos have been published of the car which was bombed in #Melitopol' earlier.

Collaborator Maksym Zubarev is supposedly still alive, critically ill.

#RussiansGoHome
12 #Ukraine servicemen have been released from Russian captivity today (see video)
Among them, five are seriously wounded.

#Moscow reports only about receiving 5 of their own wounded in return.

#StopRussia
#Russia has reclassified the bomb blast, which killed Tatarsky, as a terrorist incident. They now say 33 were injured, 22 remain in hospitals, 8 seriously ill.

Meanwhile investigators released new video of the main suspect, Dariya Trepova, at her apartment, then later cuffed.
This 58 year old woman has been arrested for writing pro-Ukraine messages in #Sevastopol on #Crimea.

"Sevastopol is Ukraine" reads this one and now she will be charged with "vandalism"

#StandWithUkraine #CrimeaIsUkraine
#Russia has destroyed a school/gymnasium in #Zaporizhzhia region.

Airstrikes flattened buildings at the Suzirya complex in #Orikhiv.
New news yet on victims.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
* WARNING * Graphic video *

A video has been released showing the first moments after the bomb blast which killed #Russia's war blogger Tatarsky.

It's also clear the accused woman Dariya Trepova was still at the cafe in St Petersburg when the blast happened:
#Ukraine now has three brigades of MiG-29 fighter jets.

Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat told TV news they now have about 72 aircraft after #Poland's donation.

"This is an historic step - the transfer of such types of weapons to Ukraine" said Ihnat.

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.

Tuesday 19 November 2024.
I can't quite believe we reached 1,000 days.
#Ukraine is still free, refusing to buckle to the imperialist #Russia

I'm incredibly proud to have documented every single moment, no days off, no holiday, no sickness.

UkrainaOnline encapsulated 1000 days
If you like what I do, if you've never done it before, please consider buying me a coffee on this milestone day. It took a hell of a lot of work.

Thank you to my #TeamTim

More heinous attacks. On its day of mourning, #Sumy was hit again just as the day ended, and #Odesa lost another ten residents.

Today is Day 999 of Europe's war

It's cold in the UK today. Imagine if you didn't have heat. Not just for one day, but maybe for most of the winter Now imagine it's 10 degrees colder

If you can do that you understand what people in #Ukraine feel, or fear.
Welcome to my daily🧵
Monday and Tuesday are days of mourning in #Sumy region after an horrific attack on an apartment block.

It was the last in a long line of murders of civilians by #Russia on Sunday.

I produced the longest thread for months (over 60 posts) - catch up here
Let me start today's news in #Sumy, because sadly the number of killed + injured after #Russia's strike have both increased.

An 11th person died during the night while 89 people required medical treatment. Medics, rescuers, psychologists and volunteers worked through the night.
