The 87th daily 🧵 of the #Russia-#Ukraine war.

Russia's illegal invasion had a big boost in the last 72 hours.
Finally they claimed a 2nd big city in #Mariupol' while advances in the Donbas mean there's a real chance they can cut off 1000s of #Ukraine troops in #Luhansk region

But British intelligence is that #Russia is running out of drones.

While both sides are suffering big losses of unmanned aircraft, #Ukraine is able to replace but Russians are struggling

#Finland's gas supply from #Russia has today been cut off fur refusing to pay in Rubles.

However it's reported #Germany and #Italy approve rouble accounts for Russian gas payments.

Germany and Italy told companies they could open rouble accounts to “without breaching” sanctions

#Russia claims the attack on #Odesa's port yesterday evening took out fuel tanks. In addition they say they hit a training camp near Lake Sasik in #Odessa oblast.

They also say Calibre missiles in #Zhytomyr region destroyed weapons from USA + Europe which were being stored.

President @ZelenskyyUa has not outright said there was a deal for #Ukraine's soldiers in #Azovstal, but he did call for a prisoner exchange.

In essence he seems to be saying he did all he could but I'm not sure families will be happy hearing this:

Another fire at a state establishment in #Moscow oblast.

Thanks to @DemeryUK and @HarladF for alerting me - to this blaze at the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute in Zhukovsky.

#Russia says it was caused by a faulty sub-station but is now extinguished, no-one was hurt

Ex-head of @NATO Anders Fogh Rasmussen criticises #Germany for being "reluctant to deliver heavy weapons and impose sanctions. We need German leadership."

“An energy embargo has a price. But compared to the cost of a protracted war, the price is small”

Just found a video of the blast yesterday in #Zhytomyr region. The multiple explosions would tend to support Russian intelligence that they hit a weapons cache.

More air raid sirens across much of #Ukraine, including #Kyiv.

This is still a daily occurrence (usually multiple times a day) in the capital despite the lack of publicity and mercifully few missiles landing near the capital of late.

#StandWithUkraine #StopPutinNOW

#Russia has banned entry to 963 Americans!

I'm sure Morgan Freeman will be devastated!
Another surprise name on the list is Mark Zuckerberg

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

#Russia released a video of launching a cruise missile from the Black Sea.

It says this destroyed a weapons stash in #Zhytomyr province. #Ukraine says there was no cache - the missile hit railway infrastructure.

#StandWithUkraine️ #StopRussiaNOW

Many protests around the world today to #StandWithUkraine. This one in #London.

A prominent Russian politician has said they will consider a prisoner swap involving #Azovstal defender and Putin's mate, the #Ukraine traitor Medvedchuk.
