Hello and welcome to day 349 of #Russia's war of choice.

#Ukraine still defends valiantly, but the west's tardiness to act has placed them under severe pressure for the next 6 weeks until trained troops return with some new toys.

All the news in one thread, read on...
First the link to yesterday in case you were busy or just want a summary.

A lot of flim flam was written but actually you missed very little. Here's one of the shortest threads of the last 11 months so far:

#Ukraine #Russia

The clock is ticking if #Russia is to meet #Putin's 25th "deadline" (that's a guess, don't take me literally)

The little man with a big anger issue is clearly intent on taking all of Donbas before the anniversary, or 1 March latest.

British intel doesn't think they'll do it.

Welcome to yet another daily thread as #Ukraine moves one day nearer victory in its bid to liberate its land from #Russia's illegal invasion.

We've reached Day 316. All the news updated here throughout the day, so come back and scroll through later.

DMs open for tip-offs.💙💛
Wednesday ended in lively fashion after a quiet day. If you missed anything, the big news was from #Crimea where explosions/air defence were reported in two separate towns.

If you missed anything, take a look back here:

Let's start the thread with a chuckle, with this scene from Kazakhstan according to the poster on Telegram.

Day 181 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.

Yesterday, the thread was interrupted by @TwitterSupport banning me for 12 hours and their Execs refusing to reply to requests. Thanks to those who tried to help but the whole system is crazy
So what was my "crime"?

Errr.. I wrote about this story which is all over Twitter and international media.

It may have been Kremlin trolls, but I was almost instantly banned when mocking the FSB's videos.
Apparently I released "intimate details". WTF??

When @TwitterSupport's arbitrary ban expires you have two options.
Only at that point can you dispute Twitter's ban.
If you challenge the reason for the ban you stay banned for two weeks while they "investigate"
If you accept your tweet was wrong it's deleted and you're "free"

Mitte Mai beschloss das lettische Parlament, das #sowjetische #Denkmal in #Riga abreißen zu lassen. Das Denkmal erinnert an den Sieg über Nazi-Deutschland und dient zudem als #Soldatenfriedhof. Für uns eindeutig die falsche Reaktion auf den russischen #Angriffskrieg. Ein Thread⬇️
In den vergangenen zehn Jahren hat die VVN-BdA immer wieder gegen den geschichtsrevisionistischen Aufmarsch protestiert, der alljährlich am 16. März, zum sogenannten Tag der Legionäre, in Riga stattfindet. (1/8)
Letzte noch lebende ehemalige Angehörige der lettischen Legion der Waffen-SS, Familienangehörige und Bewunderer sowie Nazis aus Lettland und Deutschland konnten sich mit Unterstützung der staatlichen Sicherheitskräfte weitgehend unwidersprochen den öffentlichen Raum nehmen. (2/8)

On May 11, Ukrainian forces successfully destroyed a Russian unit trying to cross the strategically important river of Siversky Donets in the #Donbas region. @DFRLab confirmed the genuine nature of the @DefenceU’s photos.
@DefenceU In one estimation, #Ukraine destroyed a Russian pontoon bridge and least 6 tanks, 14 BMP armored vehicles, 7 MT-LB amphibious vehicles, a tugboat and 5 other armored vehicles. A separate calculation by @Blue_Sauron showed 73 pieces of Russian equipment destroyed or abandoned.

St George's 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Day in England, Day 59 in #Ukraine of the devastating war brought by #Russia.

Here's the daily thread with the most relevant news and analysis of the situation, updated in real time.
Starting with the territorial news and almost no change to the front lines anywhere in #Ukraine in the last 24 hours.

That is going to turn up the pressure on #Russia with Victory Day in just 16 days. It could lead to the invaders stretching themselves and taking too many risks
Attacks intensified around #Sloviansk as the #Donbas region remains the focal point of most fierce fighting.

Further south in #Donetsk region, just west of the city itself, the villages of Mar'inka and Novomykhailivka are bearing the brunt of Russian attacks and street warfare.

Il 16 marzo la #Lettonia non commemorerà il giorno della memoria dei legionari lettoni per non fornire ai media controllati dal #Cremlino un ulteriore pretesto per accusare il Paese baltico. Due parole sulla questione, scottante perché legata alla “#denazificazione” (1/9)🧵 Image
La #Legione lettone è sempre stata decisamente controversa, dal momento che questi uomini erano formalmente un’unità delle Waffen-#SS. La Russia ha dunque sempre visto questa commemorazione come un tentativo di lodare il #nazismo.
Da parte lettone, invece, la visione è diversa: la Legione non avrebbe mai commesso crimini di guerra, ma avrebbe invece combattuto contro l’Armata rossa che aveva occupato i #Baltici nel 1940.

🧵Few observations from #Riga after talking with several senior officials from across the Alliance at the #NATO #ForMin meeting:
• the scale of Russian military build up is unprecedented - this is NOT a repeat of the spring built up. The talk of war in Ukraine is in the air.
• Russia’s ultimate intentions are not clear - but the scale and capabilities that are being prepared would allow it to strike Ukraine from three directions, perhaps including from the north through Belarus.
• The broader strategic community, including think tanks, for the moment deeply underestimates the severity of the situation due to classification of the specific information presented to the Allies.

Latvia will send newcomers and returnees from risk areas to quarantine for only 10 instead of 14 days. The government in Riga accepted a corresponding proposal from the Ministry of Health at a cabinet meeting.
So far, people who travel to the Baltic EU country from countries with high infection rates have had to isolate themselves for two weeks. The shortening does not apply to people who have been in contact with someone infected with corona -
they have to be quarantined for another 14 days. In principle, this also applies to employees of health, social and educational institutions who are in close contact with other people.
