This is the start of the daily 🧵for Day 386 of #Russia's war of choice in #Ukraine.

For all Wednesday's news, including US pilots volunteering for Ukraine, assassination plot against an EU figure and an unexplained fire on occupied #Berdyansk, click⬇️

I'll start today with #BakhmutHolds.
No big changes to report. #Wagner troops have advanced right into the centre, but it's constantly changing as the cattle get slaughtered and retreat.

Some #Russia channels claim #Khromove on the west of #Bakhmut is captured but not confirmed.
Speaking of slaughter of Russians, the number of invading soldiers killed in the last 24 hours tops 1,000 again. A large number of #Russia's troops died in an attack at #Nevelske 20km from #Avdiivka

High numbers of tanks + artillery systems too, plus the aircraft I noted y'day.

On to day 266 of #Russia's full invasion and war on #Ukraine.

The big question today - was it a Russian missile or not which landed in #Poland, killing two people?

Find all Wednesday's news here:

So a lot of activity in USA, Europe & Bali overnight.

Joe Biden has now said the missile that hit #Poland was "unlikely" to have been fired from #Russia

There's a thought it may have been hit by #Ukraine anti-aircraft fire: others believe it's a convenient dodge of the issue.
In #Russia this morning an oil depot has gone up in flames in the #Oryol region, which is 100 miles from the border with #Ukraine.

They suspect a drone but fail to explain how air defences of Belgorod and Kursk managed to miss one drone!

Hello and welcome to an early start to the daily thread for Day 246 of #Russia's war.

Once again #Ukraine is under attack this Thursday morning, but in general air defence looks to be performing slightly better each day.

All the news, updated in real time throughout the day⬇️
Last night the wave of attack drones started entering #Ukraine air space and some missiles fired by #Russia too.

#Dnipropetrovsk #Zaporizhzhia and #Odesa all had reports of strikes - you can read all about those & anything else you missed yesterday here:

The reports of a drone hitting in #Kyiv oblast have now been confirmed.

Regional Head Oleksiy Kuleba says "The enemy attacked one of the communities of the region. The fire is being extinguished. There are no injuries."

1/x. Sergei Pozdnyakov, general director of NPP Zvezda, the manufacturer of Russian spacesuits and shock-absorbing seats, gave an interview to TASS and shared some information about the plans for new generation of spacesuits. Here’s the quick summary for you. ⤵️
2/Ń…. The new Sokol-M spacesuit as well as the Cheget shock-absorbing seat are designed specifically for #Oryol spacecraft and cannot be used in Soyuz-MS due to the difference in the life support system. The flight models will be ready when Oryol is ready to fly.
3/x. Another work in progress is the spacesuit to walk on the lunar surface. They have a concert and currently prepare a model for ergonomics tests. The lunar spacesuit will be modular, which allows to replace a module instead of sending the whole suite to Earth for repairs.

Yesterday #Roscosmos published a big interview of Vladimir Soloviev, the general designer of RSC Energia and the flight director of the Russian segment of the ISS. He talked a lot about the planned ROSS station. Here’s a quick summary for you. roscosmos.ru/38020
At the first phase, #ROSS will be placed on a solar-synchronous orbit with an altitude of 334 km and inclination of 96.8°. Later it will be changed to 372 km and 96.9°. This will allow to observe most of the territory of Russia (and not only Russia, as Soloviev noticed).
This orbit will also allow to conduct the study of both Earth poles with optical, infrared, ultraviolet, radio and other detectors, and will allow to track the movement of various objects in the areas of the poles, which is an important scientific experiment.
