It's Day 276 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine.
It's also Holodomor Memorial Day, commemorating those starved to death by Moscow's regime in the genocide of the 1930s.

This is the daily news thread with all the news, views and analysis on events around the illegal war...
Another fairly quiet night. Long range missile attacks by #Russia confined to outbursts every few days it seems, while artillery pounds the usual targets in southern and eastern #Ukraine

If you missed anything on Friday's news feed, scroll through here:

The #UK's daily update paints an increasingly desperate picture for #Russia.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
A sharp increase in the number of #Russia's soldiers killed in battle in the last 24 hours.
Recent days have seen between 350 and 450, but today another 560 estimated dead according to #Ukraine, but little equipment destroyed.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
Despite the rocket attacks, despite cuts to power and water, the people of #Kherson region are still relishing their hard-fought freedom.

Each day now the train from #Kyiv rumbles into the city and invariably someone in one of the villages comes to show support for #Ukraine!
The areas where #Russia's been suffering most losses have been #Donetsk and, until, liberation of the right bank, #Kherson

But now the occupied part of #Zaporizhzhia is one big graveyard.

RU bases in both #Melitopol + #Vesele struck by #Ukraine with 180 injured, likely 100 dead
* WARNING * 18+ video

Temperatures below 0c in much of #Ukraine this morning, but power in #Kyiv restored after just 4-5 hours of heat & light in the previous 72 hours

Now imagine fighting in these conditions. Russians are often ill prepared and left to freeze. This nr #Bakhmut
This school in Occupied #Melitopol' was being repaired when war broke out; #Russia's goons stole building materials.

Now, with more newly mobilised Russians arriving they're turning the school into a barracks. To prevent attacks by resistance fences are erected, trees cut down
#Russia may kill #Belarus 'leader' Lukashenka and blame Ukraine.

That's a claim in this report citing "Russian military sources" with two objectives. Russia can take control of the Belarusian army and give the people a cast-iron reason to join the war.

#Ukraine by night. Startling photo taken from space by NASA.

The country's outline hardly needs marking, the lack of light during the power cuts does the job😥

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine's Resistance in #Enerhodar is active!

Rumours abound that #Russia is preparing to leave the town and more importantly, the nuclear reactor.

"Enerhodar is Ukraine" says one popular poster seen on the streets, while yellow ribbons and markings are also visible.
#Poland's Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki is in #Kyiv this morning.

He's already visited the #Holodomor memorial on #Maidan to pay tribute to the victim's of the genocide.

Poland has always been one of #Ukraine's strongest supporters.

#StandWithUkraine
1/3

In #Dnipro many victims reported as a missile hits a residential area.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
2/3

#Dnipro explosion

Not too much is known so far, but six people immediately known to be injured as #Russia's rocket hit a quiet area of the city.

#StopRussia
3/3

Another video from the scene in #Dnipro

#SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
It's now known that 3 missiles hit #Dnipro in today's attack by #Russia. Although no-one has died, one person is missing who was thought to be in a warehouse where rescuers are removing rubble.

13 people were injured, four hospitalised, two seriously injured.

#StopRussia
This is noteworthy after the story earlier about #Russia maybe planning to get rid of #Lukashenka

Today the Foreign Minister of #Belarus has "died suddenly"

Vladimir Makei was just 64. He was Head of Luka's illegitimate administration and FM since 2012.

I'm currently in #Germany and pleasantly surprised to see #Holodomor memorial day leading the @tagesschau news bulletin.

This week 6 more countries have recognised the man-made famine as genocide. Yet not the #UK - why is that @JamesCleverly and @RishiSunak?
Despite #Russia's best efforts to expel, kill or terrify the #Ukraine supporters in occupied #Crimea, there is still a Resistance movement, even in #Simferopol, the most Russified city.

Yellow ribbons are still found for a short while until authorities seize or paint over them.
This made me laugh! #Ukraine has not invaded #Russia...

But many locals in #Tver, 100 miles north-west of #Moscow, were in shock and frightened to see a column of military vehicles emblazoned with Ukraine flags

Sadly, they were just a filming.

A mother weeps uncontrollably as her new born baby is laid to rest after becoming another of #Russia's victims.

Little Serhiy died just two days after his birth when the Terrorist State bombed the maternity ward of the hospital in #Vilniansk near #Zaporizhzhia.

#StopRussia
Another heart breaking tale & war crimes in #Kherson region

26yo Serhiy's father stopped answering his calls on 10 Nov. After liberation he went to Lviv Otruby.

His dad and his adoptive mum were eventually found in shallow graves, on top of each other, shot at close range.

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.
