I heard #Russia faces difficulties supplying its own troops. It seems they are, however, pretty good at supplying Ukrainian forces with all the ammo they need 👌

The head of the military administration of Mykolaiv reports that the Ukrainian air force was able to target a Russian supply convoy last night

Head of the IAEA going to Turkey today - a meeting between the Foreign Affairs ministers of Russia and Ukraine is planned for today in Antalya
Video (likely from yesterday): Russian column trying to advance towards Brovary, gets destroyed.
The audio may be intercept of Russian com. It looks like Ukrainian light infantry may have ambushed the column. Honestly, this is poor tactics from Russia to advance such a large column with no clear recon, prior clearing ahead with light troops.
Tripartite meetings between #Turkey, #Russia and #Ukraine have started in Antalya (via AA)
Bilateral meeting between Turkey and Ukraine's Foreign Ministers (prior to ongoing tripartite meeting)
Trilateral talks
BTW, this video shows Russia is bringing TOS-1 MLRS ("flamethrower") to the outskirts of Kyiv.
(Looking at it again some of those hits are clearly artillery fire, others I am not sure)

Commander of the unit involved in this offensive, Colonel A. Zakharov was killed according to Ukrainian military intel statement here.

Close view of hit on Russian vehicle said to be from the Kyiv region during clashes between Russian forces and Ukraine's 72nd mechanized brigade.
I can't ID the vehicle, but it sure looks like a massive explosion.
🚩Tripartite meeting between the foreign ministers of #Ukraine, #Russia and #Turkey just ended in Antalya
#Ukraine Foreign Affair Minister says in press conference he asked for a 24-hour ceasefire. No decision on this.
He says he is ready to meet again in this format.

My understanding so far is that he is implicitly suggesting that Lavrov did not have the authority to do anything
Press conference of the Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Minister:

This remark (amongst others) by Kuleba made me think that basically Lavrov had zero mandate to agree to anything. This would suggest Russia is just trying to buy time/deflect attention with those talks (which is what it typically does)
Ukrenergo just released a statement saying their repair crews have been waiting to go and repair the electricity line to the #Chernobyl nuclear power plant since yesterday.

"Just stop the shelling and give our repair crews access!"
They say they do not need to assistance from the Belarusian side.

This seems to suggest that Russia is trying to connect the plant to the grid in Belarus?
The Ukrainian Command North claims that it destroyed a unit of Iskander missiles near Chernihiv - would consider this unconfirmed for now.
Belarusian President Lukashenko is slated to visit Moscow tomorrow and meet with President Vladimir Putin

According to Ukrainian sources the commander of the tank unit that got killed in clashes in Brovary is Andrei Zakharov, who got awarded the order of Courage by Putin in 2016 for his "service" in #Syria
en.kremlin.ru/events/preside…
Zakharov, a Major at the time, received the medal during a ceremony rewarding those "who distinguished themselves in the performance of special missions in the Syrian Arab Republic".

His life seems to have ended with a bang, here⬇️

Thread on #Russia invasion of #Ukraine - March 10
The past 24 hours continue to show that Russian offensives are slowing down and mostly stalled. Still, around Kyiv, Russian forces are making slow/incremental (and costly) progress, in a bid to try and surround the city
From the most recent movements and previous attacks (and this is an assessment) it seems the two tactical objectives of the Russian forces around Kyiv may still be the Vasylkiv and Boryspil airport with offensives in the east and west of Kyiv (map is from @LeBeckInt's coverage)

Thread on #Russia's invasion of #Ukraine - March 9
There were some interesting info in the Ukrainian military update overnight. Broadly, my understanding Russian forces appear to have been able to cross the E40, west of Kyiv in an effort to surround the city. They likely took significant losses, but this is still notable.
Both the Ukrainian and Russian military updates mentioned the town of Nizhyn. Russia claims it took the city, Ukraine reported continued clashes.

This is an important town, as Russian forces are trying to link up south of Chernihiv and east of Konotop.

Thread on #Russia's invasion of #Ukraine - March 8
The Ukrainian military released several notable details its midnight update. According to the update, Russian forces continue to amass, around Kyiv, including its "most capable" units, such as Kadyrov's Special Guards Regiment.
Notably, from the update and other reports, it seems yesterday Russian forces attempted several attacks, including in Irpin, but also north of it (across the Irpin river), and east of Kyiv in the direction of Brovary.

Russia is clearly probing Ukrainian defensive lines.

Thread on the #Russian invasion of #Ukraine - March 6
In its last update, the Ukrainian military reported several Russian movements east of Kyiv, including in an effort to advance towards the area between Borsipyl and Brovary (map is just to show these two positions).
Russian forces are also amassing in the Kozelets area, while also trying to advance towards the Kaniv Hydroeletric Power Plant (they are still quite far, from my understanding of their position).

During the night, the mayor of Slavutych near Chernobyl, warned that the Ukrainian team at the nuclear plant are exhausted as they have been working for 10 days and cannot be replaced due to the lack of a safe corridor for them to go through.
