Hello and welcome to the daily thread on the #RussiaUkraineWar today coming live from #Ukraine.
At the start of Day 287 I crossed the border and I'm still on the train as the snow gets heavier and thicker.
If anyone wants to buy me a coffee I'd be very appreciative. Dyakuyu!

A fairly quiet night in #Ukraine - but as always if you need to catch up on yesterday's news, it's all in one handy place. Here's the start of yesterday's thread:

Last night we saw enemy drones being shot down. The #Iran Shaheed "Kamikaze" UAVs returning in numbers to the skies over #Ukraine.
At least 8 were shot down, mainly in #Dnipropetrovsk region.
This one was destroyed in #Zhytomyr region having flown through #Kyiv

Finally, one of the teams we helped with our fundraiser, has recorded a message for you guys, especially the major donators, some of whom are named in this video just received.
They're in #Zaporizhzhia oblast. Others are in #Bakhmut and making videos is not their #1 priority

One thing really struck me on this journey, especially in view of the abuse I've been given for writing #Ukraine place names first then #Russia's spelling second.
Probably over half the people on this train speaking Russian not Ukrainian, including Anna & Violetta at my table

Occupiers in #Donesk report 6 people died in yesterday's shelling of the city centre (see video)
Meanwhile in the region today 16 were killed in an accident between a military vehicle and a minibus. It happened between Torez and Shakhtyorsk. Not yet known how many were soldiers

Following on from the last tweet there's now a video from the scene of the accident which killed 16 in #Donetsk oblast (here's a screenshot)
There do seem to be a disproportionate number of accidents involving #Russia's military vehicles. Drunkenness?

Criminal acts in this war take many different forms.

Sorry for hours offline. A gruelling day and not much chance to use wifi.
It's very humbling to walk or drive along streets I know well in #Kyiv, to randomly see a bomb site, charred office tower block for example.
One thing I've noticed is even the graffiti are patriotic!

One other thing, I knew the patriotism had been turned up to 11, but I think it's actually 15.
The music channel I usually have on in the background when working on the laptop used to have a decent mix of #Ukraine and western tunes.
Now ONLY 🇺🇦 and EVERY SONG is about the war.

Time to catch up on the real news now, and starting with a tragic development in liberated #Kherson.
Four policemen from #Cherkasy (RU: #Cherkassy) have been killed when their patrol car hit one of #Russia's landmines.

Nice thread here with a lot of satellite photos proving #Russia is moving (some of) its aircraft away from #Ryazan after the #Ukraine drone strike and the nadly damaged one has been removed.

A court in #Lviv has stripped the Mayor of #Chernihiv of the role. Vladyslav Atroshenko was also fined $185 after being found guilty of actions described as "a conflict of interests"
Many though agree with Atroshenko that it's politically motivated after clashes with Zelenskyy.

Incidentally I spent much of today at the @dovzhenkocentre in #Kyiv speaking with people fearful that the cultural centre, film archive and growing hipster hang-out is under attack from mysterious figures trying to close them down.

Some more careless smokers no doubt, as yet another "gas explosion" occurred in the Terrorist State today.
This was the Targim shopping centre in #Nazran.
Four people were injured.

At least 10 people have died after shelling of the village of #Kurakhove in #Donetsk region
President Zelenskyy described it in his evening speech as a deliberate target on civilians. A market, bus station, petrol station and residential buildings were all hit
