Hello everybody - let's get the show on the road for another week!

It's the original, the one & only daily🧵with all you need to know about what's happening in #Ukraine's defence against #Russia, which has reached day 446.

Catch up on Sunday's news here:
More very damaging losses for #Russia yesterday.

#Ukraine's figures show almost 7% of all destroyed artillery systems happened in the last 24 hours.

Vehicles, fuel tanks and special equipment also above the mean as well as killed soldiers.
#RussiansGoHome Image
The British update today questions #Russia's air defence.

It's always been a problem for Moscow after sending most of its domestic protection to #Ukraine, only to have to bring some back as #Kyiv shows more ability to hit long range targets.

#StandWithUkraine Image
Already an early morning hit on #Russia's forces in #Luhansk.

The Occupiers say this is a "former" flight school (VVAUSh)

Again they're "convinced" it's #StormShadow.
Clearly they have any idea of the destructive ability of the UK/French missile. They will know when it hits!
In the #Russia region of #Bryansk, a building of the local administration was hit by shelling.

This was the village of #Khoromnoe in the Klimovsky district. Mash media spoke to someone who claims his house had been destroyed too.

#StopRussia
News of another hit to #Russia's invaders this morning.

Not the most visually stunning video - but the sounds will be music to #Ukraine's ears as explosions hit #Tokmak.

It's the latest in a string of attacks in the #Zaporizhzhia region.

#RussiansGoHome
Another problem in #Bryansk for the instigators of this war.

Russian media report a drone hitting military equipment stored in a warehouse.

They admit 5 pieces of equipment were damaged.
#StandWithUkraine
"Boris who?"

I wonder if BJ is jealous?

#BakhmutHolds

The commander of #Ukraine's Ground Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi says their advance is the first success of offensive actions.

Dep Defence Min Hanna Malyar noted that heavy fighting is ongoing there and #Russia is bringing assault troops to the outskirts.
#StopRussia
Bromance in Britain.

Rishi and Ze embrace as the #Ukraine leader touches down in the UK.

Britain has announced training of Ukrainian pilots will start in the summer and pledged 100s of attack drones to help in the defence against #Russia's aggression.

In #Kherson another school was attacked.

This morning #Russia hit the area with kamikaze drones. The building was seriously damaged but no civilians were injured.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Late last night a charity in #Switzerland revealed it had been the victim of #Russia's aggression.

The bombing of #Ternopil destroyed its aid being stored there.

The MD of "Licht im Osten" said supplies worth hundreds of thousands of francs were burned.

Four people have died in a rocket attack on #Avdiivka, despite sheltering at the time

Officials say 4 middle aged people, 2 men + 2 women were the victims but others may be in the rubble.

They were in a shelter set up in a long-defunct railway hospital.

Yet another explosion in #Luhansk. This looks to be the work of #Ukraine's resistance and may have been an assassination attempt on the so called LPR Minister of Internal Affairs Igor Kornet.

He and five others were injured.
#RussiansGoHome Image

The explosion in occupied #Luhansk happened in a hair dressers where the 'minister' was a regular.

Initial it was reported to be a grenade, but local police now think an IED caused the blast.

#StopRussia
A reminder of what Britain's pledged for #Ukraine today Defence Sec Ben Wallace says it will ensure the West would not be tempted to force Ukraine to make concessions.

No plans for jets, but the pilot training shows the coalition is likely to oblige soon.
A former employee of the US embassy in #Russia has been charged with illegal collaboration.

62 year old Robert Shonov of Vladivostok worked in the US Consulate in the city. He's been ordered to be detained for 3 months in notorious Lefortovo prison.
He faces 8 years in jail.
More gestures of goodwill in #Bryansk?

#Klintsy is the area where all #Russia's aircraft started falling out of the sky this weekend.
Now local news channel reports this.. Image
Four more of #Russia's drones have been shot down over #Kherson today.

#Ukraine's military destroyed two Lancet attack drones plus two reconnaissance UAVs (one Orlan-10 + one Supercam)

#StandWithUkraine
The @WHO is closing its #Moscow office and transferring the work to #Copenhagen.

Good move.
The FBI has arrested two Russians, accused of supplying Russian airlines with parts for its planes.

The New York Times reports Oleg Patsulya and a forger could face charges of violating US export controls.

#StopRussia ImageImage
Occupiers in #Luhansk have released a new video showing clips and photos from inside the building bombed today.

The so called Interior Minister was among 7 people injured in the barber's shop.
Could be an attack by partisans, but may well be #Russia trying to eliminate a problem
It's only on quieter days I get to remind you of the daily shelling and destruction of places in #Sumy oblast or #Nikopol in Dnipropetrovsk.

Today 30 shells hit the latter. Two people were injured.

#SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState Image
Guess which country has blocked the 8th tranche of the European Peace Funding to Ukraine?

Yep, #Hungary!
€500 million was due to be allocated for weapons for #Ukraine next Monday.
The spokesman for #Ukraine's eastern forces said of #Bakhmut this evening:
"if the enemy does not find an opportunity to replenish forces there, then we will simply destroy them."

Serhiy Cherevaty said they've made gains of between 350-2000m on the flanks.
#BakhmutHolds
Five #Ukraine policemen have been injured after evacuation teams came under fire in #ChasivYar

A car belonging to the "White Angel" police unit came under fire while trying to evacuate remaining citizens in the town in #Donetsk, just a few km from #Bakhmut'

#StandWithUkraine
It's claimed in #Ukraine tonight that the Chairman of the Supreme Court has been arrested.

Vsevolod Knyazev is suspected of taking a bribe of $2.7 million. He's been in the post for 18 months.

NABU (anti corruption) has not confirmed the arrest, but posted the first photo here. ImageImage
Days after #Poland's move to rename #Kaliningrad, it looks like #Latvia will do the same.

The language commission has recommended using the traditional Baltic name #Karaļauči (Karalyauchi) or the historical German name #Königsberg instead.

Explosions in #Kramatorsk tonight.

Shelling reported, but no further details yet.

#StandWithUkraine
#Russia tried to destroy #Ukraine, particularly targeting the energy industry.

The Ukrainians came through the dark and freezing winter and in a big sign of its recovery, the country is now exporting electricity to #Poland from its nuclear power plants.

wnp.pl/energetyka/pol…
Incredible footage released by #Ukraine's military, which looks genuine, but I cannot verify.

Often you hear #Russia spouting the line "we don't abandon our own" to galvanise support from the gullible public.

This video proves that's a myth, but they did take the guy's helmet!
President of #France, @EmmanuelMacron tonight promises long-range missiles as part of new aid package for #Ukraine.

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.

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

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.

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.

Day 998 of #Russia's all out war, and Sunday 17 Nov is the day #Moscow's war criminals chose for the big missile attack on #Ukraine

It's such a difficult time for anyone associated with Ukraine. With the election of Musk/Trump, Putin's convinced terrorism will win.
Here's the🧵
Before I forget, here's the link for yesterday's thread. I know many of you like to catch up on what you've missed in #Ukraine and stories connected to the war.

#Ukraine's FM takes a swipe at #Germany's Chancellor Scholz while declaring this one of the largest air attacks.

From #Chernihiv in the north, to #Odesa in the south.
#Kharkiv in the east to #Lviv in the west. #Russia hits them all.
