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.
All the areas in western #Ukraine which were without power yesterday have now had supplies restored.

#Sumy and #Odesa remain two large areas where most have no electricity.

#StandWithUkraine
#Russia attacked #Ukraine with two Iskander ballistic missiles last night and one Kh-59 guided missile, none of which could be intercepted.

None of the 11 drones hit target. 8 were shot down and 3 stopped by EW. Image
After having zero boats in the Black Sea for weeks, #Russia has quietly moved 2 missile-carrying warships back into the water to the south of #Ukraine.

They are carrying a total of 8 cruise missiles. Image
Now to #Russia's daily losses for the last 24 hours (#Ukraine figures).

1,560 more dead/wounded keeps up the November average. Even though there are only 30 days, it's well on course to be the bloodiest month for the invaders.
Indeed, it should break the record on 28 Nov. Image
So the USA finally lifted the incredibly harmful ban on using long range weapons in #Russia. But whether there is unrestricted use is not clear.

No Taurus from #Germany.. but Berlin will give #Ukraine new "Mini-Taurus" AI drones.

Not thought to be related to the war, but a very upsetting story from #Dnipropetrovsk.

Fire has hit the Pegasus stables and equine hospital in the village of Yelizavetivka.

It's thought 140 horses died in the fire. The structure was made of wood. Image

#RussiaOnFire

In #Yekaterinburg people are jumping from windows to save themselves.

The roof of City Hospital No. 3 caught fire.

Officials say it is now under control.
#Odesa has been hit by a missile.

There are casualties. Residential buildings and civil infrastructure has ben damaged.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Odesa UPD

* WARNING VERY GRAPHIC VIDEO *
Eight people have died, 18 more were injured.

A child was among the injured. Four of the wounded are in serious condition.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Odesa

In the attack which killed at least 8 and injured 18, two residential buildings were damaged.

It's reported another missile, which did not explode, hit an educational institution.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Well I guess I'm being hidden again by Xitter and definitely not showing up in people's feeds judging by how few views and interaction there is.

How convenient to suppress pro-#Ukraine accounts when #Russia goes on a mass killing spree.

On his Telegram channel, President #Zelenskyy reacts to the latest tragedy.

The automated Google translation still uses the Russian spelling for #Odesa, and there is a misleading translation to "dozens" for a word which means "10s" - so to clarify, the number injured remains 18 Image
Remember the usual. If you read something good about Russia, or bad about Ukraine, if it doesn't "smell" right, check who's publishing it. Check with other sources you know are reliable.

Some bad things do happen in 🇺🇦 but we will report them accurately.
#Odesa

Now 39 injuries have been reported, four of whom at children under 12. The death toll remains at 8.

Three residential buildings were damaged, one caught fire. The roof of a university was also damaged by falling debris.
#StopRussia
* CAUTION - one blurred, but graphic image *

#Odesa UPD
The number of people killed, as a result of #Russia's missile attack this morning, has increased to 10.

7 of the dead are policemen and medics and 2 local residents also died.

Among 39 injured are 14 police. Image

Videos have been released of the moment #Russia hit a hydro-electric power plant in #Kremenchuk.

It was part of yesterday morning's massive missile attack.

Local sources say the strike was carried out by three missiles, two of which hit nearby.

Interesting incident to report in #Russia's crumbling aviation industry.

A pilot on a Rossiya Airlines flight from #StPetersburg to #Nalchik reports attempts to blind them with a green laser as they came in to land.

They managed to touch down without problems. Image
#Russia vetoed a UN resolution to end the war in #Sudan.
Fancy that - Russia not caring about peace!

#Ukraine has "scaled up" the manufacture of Neptune missiles.

Defence Minister @rustem_umerov announced the missile has been improved too, and they've already made 100 this year alone. Image
Image
In #Odesa, photos have been released of the 7 police officers killed in #Russia's attack.

There's also the first picture from Odesa's Agricultural University which was hit by a falling missile, ripping through the roof.

In total 10 died and 55 were injured.

#Ukraine's President went right to the hottest spot on the frontline today. Zelenskyy was in #Kupiansk, where one of #Russia's advanced groups made it all the way into the town.

Sorry, this one missed the thread..

Explosions in #Zaporizhzhia and half the city is without power again.

It therefore looks like another energy structure has been hit.

No official details yet.
It's just gone midnight in #Ukraine
That means it's the start of the 1,000th day of #Russia's full invasion. Every single day I've reported + analysed the war

I remember writing if Ukraine could get through the first 10 days they had a chance to survive!
Satellite photos show #Russia's massively increasing production of rocket engines.

@fab_hinz analysed the pics to ascertain there are five factories to produce solid-fuel rocket engines.

#Kyiv is defending itself against attack drones.

Earlier #Russia hit #Zaporizhzhia with at least 10 Iran-made #Shahed UAVs.
Around 13,000 subscribers are estimated to be without power.
Just one new coffee arrived today - minutes ago, from @2ylan.

Also, the monthly sub from @Anna_Bowles came through today. Thanks to both of you for supporting my work.
The so-called 'president' of #Abkhazia has resigned.
At the weekend, Aslan Bzhania had said he would step down, but would likely stand again in the new election.

VP Bandra Gunba becomes acting president of the defacto #Russia-occupied part of #Georgia.

Another strike on #Sumy region tonight.

It's reported by locals that the bodies of a mother and a child have been recovered from under the rubble here in #Hlukhiv, 10km from the border with #Russia.

An attack drone caused the collapse of the front of a 5-storey building.
Elsewhere in #Ukraine there are 13 other drones, with 5 probably heading to #Kyiv.

As always, full update in the morning, see you then (although I plan to start the Day 1000 thread now and then sleep).

So good night and thanks for being part of #TeamTim

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:

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.
