It's Tuesday and also Day 412 of #Russia's illegal war, welcome to my daily🧵

So far today it's very quiet in terms of news. But there was quite a lot happening yesterday. If you missed anything, take a quick scroll through Monday's thread here.

The daily losses published by #Ukraine show that #Russia has now lost a total of 600 aircraft as I reported yesterday when another fighter helicopter was downed.

500 more troops met their end too, all for a few metres of muddy land and Putin's ego.

#RussiansGoHome Image
Here's the daily update from #London too, which again indicates how quiet things are... but one of my followers in particular will be furious with another use of the word "likely" instead of "probably"😅 Image
#Ukraine's Defence Min. is in #Odesa and during the morning briefing turned up the heat a little by announcing they can soon attack #Russia's Black Sea Fleet.

@oleksiireznikov said "We are just waiting for the right moment to repeat this history" a year after sinking the Moskva Image
Still angry scenes at #Kyiv's historic religious Lavra complex.

Moscow aligned priests have taken to conducting services outside inside the grounds but outside the church itself. More protesters came to give their views of the FSB influenced "church".

#StandWithUkraine
A drone has hit #Belgorod airport in #Russia.

Media report "an aircraft-type UAV with an unknown explosive device fell near the fence of Shukhov Airport and exploded."

All border airports are closed to civilian aircraft since the start of the war.

#StopRussia Image
Another top athlete from #Ukraine has been killed by #Russia.

International cyclist Kostyantyn Deneka served in one of the special units of Ukrainian Intelligence.

The 40 year old died on March 31 near Bakhmut as a result of a shrapnel wounds Image
Some amazing scenes coming out of #Kamchatka in the far, far east of #Russia where the Shiveluch volcano finally blew its top!

A 20km ash cloud, much of which descended on to nearby villages. @volcaholic1 has many more photos and vids:

Although #Russia claimed long ago mobilisation had ended, we know that's 💩
Indeed, plans before the Duma now to amend the law. Currently only papers served in person are legal call-ups. Soon emails and even text messages may be used to ensnare new fodder for the meat grinder.
#Russia has released video of the arrest of two men in the far east of the country. Both are accused of donating to #Ukraine's army.

One was picked up in #Khabarovsk, the other in #Sakhalin. Both are charged with treason. ImageImageImageImage
Easter - that most religious of times for Christians..
In #Russia a time for eggs, religious services and attacking churches in #Ukraine.

This is the Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos in #Kherson.
No-one was injured.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Now I'm confused... In October @Danone announced it was finally selling its business in #Russia and planning to stop contributing to Putin's war chest.

So why today do Russian media report "Danone wants to continue working in Russia and plans to rename "Activia" and "Aktimel"? Image
It's being reported on #Russia's propaganda networks that this is a big hit on #Ukraine army vehicles.

It's said to have happened in #Zaporizhzhia but cannot be verified and the time stamp on this is not accurate. That doesn't mean it's fake, just it cannot be verified.
#Danone update:

The press release I attached and very favourable media reports in October, said the exact opposite.

#BoycottDanone should start trending maybe?

One of the few NGOs with a link to the civilised world left in #Russia has been blacklisted.

#Moscow's Prosecutor General's Office named the #Germany based "Russia-EU Civil Society Forum" as "undesirable in the Russian Federation"

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Photos here from last night's attack by #Russia on the #Kherson region.

Aerial guided bombs were again used, along with rockets as local houses and "an industrial complex" were destroyed in #Beryslav. There were no injuries.

#StandWithUkraine ImageImageImageImage
A school near #Orikhiv.
The small town in #Zaporizhzhia oblast is near the frontline and the subject of frequent shelling these days.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
A lovely moment found on TikTok as #Ukraine's troops, completing training in the #UK, are given a magnficent send-off.

Proud🇬🇧💙💛🇺🇦
Thx Ali for spotting this.
#StandWithUkraine
#Russia is having to send passenger airliners to #Iran for repairs.

Sanctions have left the Terrorist State so short of components, it's known an Airbus has made the journey to Iran.

@Airbus itself threatened to blacklist any company helping supply parts

#Ukraine's forces report another successful counterattack in #Bakhmut.

It's claimed (unverified) that an artillery strike hit "a concentration of #Wagner troops on Korsunskyi Street."

#BakhmutHolds Image
This moved quickly and has already been approved.

Among other restrictions, confirmation after a summons is sent, a person may not leave the country, and is banned from driving if they do not visit an enlistment office within 20 days.

#Russia claim two civilians were killed by shelling in the Occupied part of #Kherson.

They've published a video of a "Calendar Man" in #Oleshky holding a few scraps of metal and saying how there's been a crime, but strangely, no proof or even shots of the scene.
Meanwhile, in #Donetsk at least we have decent shots of an alleged attack.

Here #Russia says two men have been injured after shelling damaged minibus #63 in the Kuibyshev region of the occupied city. One of those injured was the driver. ImageImageImageImage
Yet more damage today in #Kostyantynivka (RU: #Konstantinovka).

Here are new photos of damage to the #Ukraine held town in #Donetsk region, which #Russia is now pounding every day.

#RussiaIsATerroristStat ImageImageImageImage
#Ukraine's (former) richest man is suing #Russia.

Rinat Akhmetov has filed a lawsuit in international arbitration demanding compensation for all losses caused to him when #Donetsk and #Luhansk "governments" seized his assets, including the Donbas Arena, home of @FCShakhtar
E.N., Thank you for the words as well as the donation.

Sir, you make an important point about the pschological damage as well as the physical.
We must continue to help end this madness.

Occupiers in #Kherson show the damage after rockets hit a school in the riverside area of #Kardashynka, south of #Kherson.

Although it is under Occupation, some #Ukraine channels blame #Russia, though it's impossible to be sure either way.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
It's loud this evening in #Donetsk.

This was heard a short while ago in the Kuibyshevskyi district of the occupied city.

#StopRussia
#Hungary has agreed a new energy deal with #Russia.

In #Moscow today, Hungarian foreign minister, Péter Szijjártó gave details of the agreement, which will anger EU partners.

#Ukraine is likely to receive some cash as some fuel will pass through the pipeline there.
US Intel Leak:
I'm glad the MoD agrees with what I've been saying.

There's so much speculation and reporting "as fact" stuff which we don't know if it's true or not.

This has to go down as propaganda right now as it cannot be proven, but thought you may like to see this video published by #Ukraine's border service.

They say 6 guards from #Luhansk detachment held at bay #Russia's superior forces for 3 hours in #Bakhmut to avoid encirclement.
More explosions reported in #Kherson region.
#Russia's planes have been flying in the area and #Beryslav has been hit again though I don't know yet if it's rockets or aerial bombs again.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
In Easter week some risky artwork appeared in #Russia's second city St Petersburg.

Kremlin security forces guarding Christ, presumably having nailed him to the cross.

Within a couple of hours it had been painted over with grey paint by panicked officials. ImageImage
"The Vulkan Files" - a multi partner investigation reveals the massive threat being developed, and posed by, #Russia's hackers.

Society could be paralysed in a worst case scenario.

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.
