Welcome to Wednesday, and daily thread #126 on #Russia's illegal war on #Ukraine.

More death and destruction overnight from Russian missiles, but remember barbaric attacks like on #Kremenchuk are NOT mistakes. They are targeted terror attacks on a peaceful nation.

Read on...
Three dead, five injured so far in another cowardly attack by #Russia on a residential building in #Mykolaiv.

The usual terror tactics, soft targets. Civilians very much in the Russian army sights with each missile.
Each one a war crime and so far no justice as killing continues ImageImageImageImage
In case you missed it last night, another of #Russia's pathetic defences over the #Kremenchuk massacre is "but there's no video of the hit"

There is: here's a still of the giant missile about to kill dozens - video in the link.

I am rather surprised to see the British MoD giving #Russia an excuse for its terrorist activities.

Strange how so many of these "accidental" misguided strikes hit big civilian targets in #Ukraine isn't it?

Explosions heard in #Dnipropetrovsk
Two women injured by #Russia's nightly shelling of #Kharkiv.

They were residents of this block in the Shevchenko district of the city.

Update on #Russia's war losses, according to #Ukraine Image
As #Russia continues to make small advances inside #Lysychansk, the governor of #Luhansk reports usual tactics from the terrorists.

"As in Severodonetsk, they go from house to house (bombing)" said Serhiy Haidai.

A BBC investigation proves illegal cluster munitions were used in the #Ukraine city of #Chernihiv.

Yet more bombs falling on #Kharkiv.

Power has been cut in some parts of the city.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine #Kharkov
The industrial area of #Kharkiv has been hit.

No reports yet of damage/casualties etc.

#UkraineUnderAttaсk #StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine's International Legion has released video of some of their last movements before retreating from #Severodonetsk.

Chilling moments among the ruins of a once lively city in #Luhansk.

Video just coming in of a fire in the south of #Moscow.
Investigations are underway but two buildings (maybe warehouses) were ablaze.
No injuries.
#RussiaOnFire

The fire (see last tweet) in #Moscow is being treated as arson. The flames covered over 2,000 square metres at its height.

Authorities have not revealed what was in the buildings or who owned them.

#Sabotage #StopRussia
Is it true @BurgerKing and @kfc that you are still operating in #Russia?

Each sale contributes to war crimes and the murder of civilians. Are you happy with that?

New offers perhaps?
#DeathWithFries #BloodNotKetchup
The Pope describes the terrorist strike by #Russia on a mall in #Kremenchuk (#Krememnchug) as the latest in a series of "barbaric attacks"

#StandWithUkraine️ #StopRussia
Good. A really glaring omission until today.

Thought to be #Russia's second or third richest person and of course close links to the Kremlin for all of Putin's time in power.

Thankfully the UK government has waived visa fees for members of the #Ukraine freedom orchestra

They'll be playing the @bbcproms as part of a tour, but faced a bill of £259 per person, which led to a public campaign against the fees.

Another gripping report from the front line by @SkyNews' Special Correspondent ' @AlexCrawfordSky

Entitled the Last Days of Lysychansk, the Sky team deserve a lot of praise for this

#Ukraine #StopRussia

news.sky.com/story/ukraine-…
Who needs war? Lightning just outside #Kyiv has destroyed a bridge and killed a man.

The incident happened in the #Vyshhorod district, near the village of Demydiv, on the river Irpin.
Two others were injured.

#StandWithUkraine Image
Pro-#Russia bloggers claim Russia was able to purchase a couple of "Caeser" Howitzers from corrupt #Ukraine officers.

No proof, but they allege the $7m+ units were flogged for just $120k each & are now in Nizhny Tagil.
Four of the other 14 donated by #France are likely destroyed
95 of the Mariupol' #Azovstal defenders including 43 from the #Azov regiment have been released in a big prisoner exchange.

In all 144 POWs were exchanged between #Ukraine and #Russia

Some streets of President @ZelenskyyUa's hometown of #KryvyiRih may soon be renamed in honour of @BorisJohnson and @JoeBiden

#SlavaUkraine #StandWithUkraine
Anti-war protest stickers have started to appear in #Putin's home city of #StPetersburg.

"the war will end - we are eternal"

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia ImageImage
Not even #Ukraine media reporting this yet!

AZOVSTAL POWs released!

WTF? @richardbranson pops up in #Kyiv

The British entrepreneur met with President @ZelenskyyUa today.

They discussed maintaining world attention on the war in #Ukraine, as well as the prospects for cooperation in the post-war reconstruction of the country.

#SlavaUkraini
The first story I reported on today's thread was this disgusting strike by #Russia on an apartment block in #Mykolaiv/#Nikolaev.

Five are now known to have died.
Here's a new video of the moment of impact - again zero possible military targets here

It seems there's a whole new "underground" publication just sprung up in #Russia, called "Women's Truth"

This report says the new issue reports on women who've experienced the horrors of war

A #Ukraine grain train has derailed in #Romania.

The train has 32 wagons of grain and weighed over 700 tonnes. 11 of the carriages came off the track in the accident which happened in Iasi.

The train was on its way to the port city of Constanța:

Large swathes of #Ukraine's media seem hell bent on smashing @poroshenko. Previously attacks on the ex-President for trying to leave the country when he wanted to complete a deal to bring specialised vehicles back to Ukraine

Today an attack on him for being in a London hotel
2/2
TSN Channel says its reporter "just happened" to pass by in what it described as one of London's most expensive hotels. TSN's reporters that well paid?

TSN owned by #Kolomoiskyi, who put #Zelenskyy into office. Same Kolomoiskyi who brought down Privat Bank, but is free in🇺🇦 Image
#Putin, who denied #Russia's troops were in #Crimea in 2014 and came up with 5 stories about #MH17, has predictably denied they hit a civilian target in #Kremenchuk

“Nobody among us shoots just like that, randomly. It is based on intelligence with high-precision weapons.”
This evening #Russia looks to have captured the village of #Pryvillya to the northwest of Lysychansk.

The noose in #Luhansk gets a little tighter.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Emotional scenes this evening as the Ukrainian prisoners released in the prisoner swap earlier today, made it back to #Ukraine held territory.

Many are badly injured.
One soldier said "emotions are overflowing, there were thoughts that this day would not come."

#HeroiamSlava
Just for a change, the poor residents of #Kharkiv have been sheltering from missiles.

At least two explosions reported in the city tonight.
Here's one recorded on CCTV

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine️
A reporter from Telegram channel ukraina24tv now reported six explosions in #Kharkiv tonight.

Missiles were fired from #Belgorod' in #Russia

The morning after the night before. A dreadful 24 hours for Ukraine as Terrorism rained down on all four of 🇺🇦's biggest cities.

Russia acts with impunity. Putin & his commanders have got away with war crimes for 4 years, so what will change?

Here's the🧵for Day 1513
As I type, BSky is down, which causes problems as it's much easier to simul-post than go back & repost everything later.

So, like the old days before fascism took over here, I'm on X (itter) only.

But these problems are infinitesimally small compared to 1000s in Ukraine today.
A pretty astonishing 24 hours of round-the-clock day and night attacks from Russia. Trying to exhaust Ukraine's air defence missiles and also exhaust the operators too, no doubt.

Many, many civilian deaths and injuries.
This is how it unfolded..

You've found the start of another daily thread and Friday is Day 1507 of Ukraine's heroic struggle to keep alive its independent statehood.

Since Bohdan Khmelnytskyi's uprising in 1648, Ukraine has never had 35 years of freedom. It's about to accomplish that, but at what cost?
All the important stories, throughout the day, every day. It's all fact-checked; I'm a real, trained journalist with vast experience and knowledge of Ukraine.

What's not to love?😆
Catch up on yesterday's thread here:

Just before the end of y'day's🧵 I reported this massive new record, as Russia was forced to close loads of airports.

The number increased to 25 with Grozny, Orenburg, Vladikavkaz and (I think for the first time) Yekaterinburg also shut due to UAV danger

This is the beginning of the daily Ukraine thread on Day 1491.

The day started with an attack a major Russian port, which I was still reporting on during yesterday's🧵at 03:15 GMT/05:15 Kyiv

More details on that coming up.
The aerial fightback at the end of the day (start of today) came after Russia broke every record in the book for drone numbers during a cowardly attack on less protected city centres in the west of the country.

Catch up here, but remember to come back!

Overnight the usual attacks on Ukraine and, I'm afraid, the usual civilian casualties.

Nine people have been injured in a drone strike on the Novobavarskyi district of Kharkiv.

Day 1487 of Russia's 3-day Special Military Operation.
I wonder if Trump's slavish following of Putin will mean his own S.M.O. reaches 4 years?

But I am here to bring all the Ukraine news, as I have done EVERY SINGLE DAY since even before the full invasion. KoFi always welcome!
You may know I am in the middle of a tough 10-days of tennis comms, school commitments and parenting duties.

I read every comment, try to reply to all serious ones and credit all sponsors, but I am behind right now as I prioritise the news stories/🧵

I will catch up!💙💛
Thankfully, it's been a reasonably quiet news week, but a lot of Russians are dying at the front - with almost no noticeable land gains.

And Ukraine's concerted attacks on air defence is now reaping rewards. More targets struck overnight, catch up here:

Finally, I am here to start the Ukraine daily thread for Sunday 15 March. My body has recovered from self-inflicted sleep deprivation.

It's Day 1481 of the full Russian invasion.
All the important news, here in one place, every day.
Coming up, news of more Ukraine strikes, and how Zelenskyy delicately tries to say Trump is lying.

First though the link back to the start of yesterday's thread, which started with horrific scenes but again saw many good tactical strikes by Ukraine:

It's Oscars Day and #TeamTim is cheering for Pasha!

When the awards are handed out in LA tonight, we are hoping 'Mr Nobody' takes the documentary prize.

Apologies if this is geo-restricted by the BBC but this is a nice report I wanted to share:

It's Day 1451 of the attempt to wipe Ukraine off the map/

Russian athletes compete at the #WinterOlympics while a Ukrainian athlete is in court right now trying to overturn his ban.

This is THE daily thread. Facts not fabrication. Proof not propaganda. Every single day.
Here's the link for the start of yesterday's thread, for those playing catch-up.

A day dominated by the IOC's own goal, but more, regular attacks by Russia day and night.

Another tragedy/massacre in Ukraine, with at least four civilians killed in another Russian airstrike.

It happened in Kramatorsk in free Donetsk.
Three of those killed were under 21 years of age, the other victim was in his 60s.
