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.

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

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

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.
