Day 128 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.

The illegal, insane, inhumane war which was Putin's choice.

More murder and war crimes today as the little man in the Kremlin orders revenge for the loss if Snake Island

All the news right here in one place, welcome to the daily thread
The revenge from #Russia for the anger at losing #SnakeIsland is an horrendous missile attack on residents in #Odesa/#Odessa region.

17 dead and 31 injured as rescuers work at the site.

Yet another war crime

#Putin loves symbolism and to leave calling cards.
It's no coincidence that he ordered the murderous strikes on an apartment block and two leisure complexes in #Odesa region with exactly the same delivery as #Kremenchuk - three X-22 missiles fired from Tu-22 strategic bombers.
3/
Now an 18th person has died in the cowardly attack by #Russia on the #Odesa region. Three children are among the dead, another is in a coma.

The main hits were in Belgorod-Dniester region of #Odessa. One missile destroyed a 9-storey residential building.

One more video from #Odesa region, south #Ukraine.
The resort village of #Serhiivka.

#StandWithUkraine
The British today confirming #Ukraine forced #Russia to leave #SnakeIsland.

The information about the oil refinery in #Lysychansk does seem to be a little outdated. Image
One more small boat was added to #Russia's list of war losses.

A small craft was lost during the last #Ukraine attack on Snake Island and the ensuing evacuation by the Kremlin's forces, along with a Ka-52 helicopter which I wrote about last night. Image
There were also rocket attacks in #Mykolaiv region overnight.

#Ukraine's authorities there claim #Russia used outlawed cluster munitions again yesterday, while fresh grads already arrived this morning.

This is a video of the scene of one strike on a business in #Nikolaev
Today, the #EU flag has symbolically been installed in #Ukraine's Parliament.

The President of the European Commission @vonderleyen spoke via video link to The Rada. President @ZelenskyyUa pledged to fulfill all requirements to allow🇺🇦 to move from candidate to full 🇪🇺 member
Haunting

This poster recalls being sent to summer kids' camps at #Serhiivka, in #Odesa region, where many died today.

"Instead of children's laughter and fun, just death and ruin... #Russia will take everything if you don't stop them."

#SaveUkraine

Another mass grave reportedly found in #Mariupol'

There is no hope now of ever knowing the real extent of the campaign of murder by #Russia's army in the southern port city. Crimes, like bodies, are hidden, burned.

#Donetsk Oblast. On the frontline at #Yasynuvata.

This is just east of #Avdiivka and only 10km or so north of Donetsk city itself.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
More on the last tweet. It seems certain to be a #Ukraine attack on occupied territory

A new video of the scene at #Yasynuvata nr #Donetsk. Rockets have hit railway infrastructure and warehouses, maybe ammo dump

In addition reports of a hit on an oil depot in #Rovenky, #Luhansk
#Turkey/#Turkiye has reportedly blocked access to two liberal western journalism sites.

It's claimed @dwnews and @VOANews are accused of broadcasting on the internet without a licence.
#Russia's Defence Ministry claims its troops are fighting in the centre of #Lysychansk now.

I already reported it looks like #Ukraine has had to give up the oil refinery; now Russians say they control the Matrosskaya mine and a gelatin plant.

Ukrainian Borshch has been included in the UNESCO cultural heritage list!

#Bulgaria's carried out a controlled explosion of a Soviet-era naval mine near its Black Sea coast.

There have been a few reports of mines floating in the Black Sea since the war began.

#Russia and #Ukraine accuse each other of planting them.
The death toll in #Odesa has risen to 20 after today's attack by #Russia.

Peskov says they don't attack civilian targets, just like he said the west was lying about Russian about to invade in February.

Before and after "Russian World" intervened today at this civilian retreat Image
WTF?
Not only does Putin not even hide it any more, the little man audaciously brags about his real intent (which I warned about all along)

If this is genuine, no country should admit any Russian passenger across its borders until all these are destroyed

#Russia's Foreign Ministry has just said "NATO starts an arms race"

It's unbelievable - having bragged about its new "Sarmat" nuclear capable missile which was tested in April, plus the Zircon from Submarine and the previous triumphant broadcasts of its new hypersonic weapons.
Often trolls write to me about Russia just supporting Donetsk's right to be free
Obviously it's baloney, Russia fomented trouble, while Putin brutally put down Chechnya's Independence bid.

Now no support for Karakalpakstan, huge demos, as it hopes to cede from 🇷🇺ally #Uzbekistan
US Ice Hockey team @NHLFlyers has lost its goal-tender.

Ivan Fedotov was trying to leave #Russia to start his new NHL contract in #Philadelphia when he was detained. Fedotov is suspected of evading the army and has been taken to the military registration and enlistment office.
* WARNING * Graphic video *

I cannot verify this, but it's said to show young victims of the #Odesa bombing.

In the early hours this morning #Russia attacked a resort in #Odessa, killing 20 and injuring many others.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
As I've been reporting for a while, #Russia has now confirmed appeals for have been submitted by at least one of the British POWs sentenced to death.

Lawyers for Shaun Pinner and Moroccan Brahim Saadoun have lodged appeals.

TASS reports Aiden Aslin has not yet appealed.
Time for #RussiaOnFire again...

A fire in the mayor's building at #Krasnoyarsk
All employees evacuated the building. Authorities say the blaze broke out in a technical room on the 6th floor.

Although this looks interesting, it doesn't look like obvious sabotage.

#SaveUkraine Image
And another one.. #RussiaOnFire

This was a large fire at a store in #Voronezh
There are few details

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
It seems #Russia are now attacking #SnakeIsland even though it's empty.

The question now is what secret information did they leave behind?

Boris Johnson has been made an honorary citizen of #Odesa

The British PM gets the Order of Hryhoriy Marazli for help during the war.

Hennadiy Trukhanov said if the entire world took the same position as the British, we would already have defeated Russia

suspilne.media/256270-premer-…
More much needed equipment will soon be heading to #Ukraine.

USA certainly stepping up to the plate after a slow start.

Welcome to Sunday morning.
I'm starting early for the daily thread on Day 760 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful and sovereign neighbour #Ukraine.

There is a big danger of another missile attack from Russian aircraft. Follow for all the news all day (and night!)
It proved another marathon thread (almost 70 posts) on Saturday with the consequences of the #Kransogorsk terrorist attack dominating the agenda.

Playing catch-up? Click and scroll from the start, right here:
Across #Ukraine, millions are on tenterhooks. Anyone asleep will soon be woken by air alarms, with monitors sensing launches of cruise missiles from #Russian planes.

Meanwhile attack drones are also causing problems. Explosions recently in #Lviv but these seem to be air defence

Today we reach another small milestone in the gruesome, illegal and wholly unnecessary war launched by #Russia in #Ukraine.

It's Day 750 of the 3-day "operation" to capture #Kyiv.
Welcome to Thursday's daily thread with all the news you need in one place, updated all day long💪
And here's the chance to look back at yesterday's news. Wednesday saw more oil problems for #Russia, which took revenge by beating another political opponent and hitting #Ukraine tower blocks.
Plus ca change😡

I'll start by reminding you of the daily reality for almost all those living in #Ukraine. Virtually the whole country is under another air raid and has been since just before 8.30 local time.

Yet offices, shops, schools and life continues no matter how #Russia tries to stop it.

It's THE daily thread, the original and most reliable update on anything important happening in #Ukraine or to do with #Russia's abominable war on its neighbour.

I'll try get this correct today... It is Wednesday! It's 13 March and that makes it Day 749 of the invasion.
Read on!
For newcomers a few things:
I try to fact check all info.
I report fairly but fairness means justice for #Ukraine
I use 20+ years experience of working in/with🇺🇦 + sources in my reporting.
DMs open for stories.
I try to avoid the gore + gratuitous violence.
Link in bio for tips!
And I always try to remember to post a link to the start of the previous day's thread, so no matter where you are in the world, and no matter if Xitter tries to hide me, you can always find me and scroll through what you missed:
