Sunday's #RussiaUkraine news thread begins here on Day 298 of the war.

Welcome along and Happy Hanukkah if you celebrate this evening.
Incidentally, the New York Times quotes Putiin calling #Ukraine's Jewish leader #Zelenskyy as "an assistant to Nazism"🍲🫖⚫️(no kettle emoji😂)
It's nice to report another fairly quiet start to Day 298 in #Ukraine.

There's a touch of Star Wars about the war from today...

Actor @MarkHamill, a strong supporter of #Ukraine, has become the voice of the English language Air Alert app.

"Luke Skywalker" adds some iconic Star Wars quotes along with news on possible threats.
#SaveUkraine
Looks like we are just 4 days away from the 100,000th regular Russian troop being killed in action in #Ukraine.

Another bumper "crop" of almost 600 in the last 24 hours for the nation defending its' sovereignty. #Russia continues to suffer regular hits on its military bases. Image
I wrote about a touch of Star Wars in #Ukraine... but it's more like "It Ain't Half Hot Mum" for #Russia, reading today's update from British Intel.

Desperate to revive flagging morale with circus performers, singers and musical instruments.
They know the Funeral March? Image
This time next week much of the world will be celebrating Christmas.

I'm retweeting this in case you missed the farce, probably highly insulting to many.

#Russia plans to effectively lock up the entire population in Occupied #Zaporizhzhia.

#Ukraine's General Staff says an extraordinary 24-hour curfew will be introduced

Meanwhile 24 settlements in free ZP and #Kherson were shelled in the last 24 hours.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Much has been made in Russian media of an interview with ex-senator of Virginia, Richard Black.

The discredited pro-#Russia mouthpiece claims "Russia is winning in #Bakhmut, Ukraine is losing"

#BakhmutHolds after 19 weeks and #Ukraine's army publishes these photos from the town ImageImageImageImage
The once magnificent Donbas Arena in #Donetsk has been shelled again.

Formerly home to @FCShakhtar, ten years ago it staged the semi final of #Euro2012

#DonetskIsUkraine #RussiansGoHome ImageImageImageImage
Family and friends of Simon "Grimmy" Lingard, from Great Harwood in Lancashire, this weekend said their final goodbyes.

Simon was not only a brave volunteer soldier but also a fundraiser for #Ukraine

#RussiaOnFire

The #Irkutsk region has seen a few "smoking related" accidents lately.

This evening a powerful explosion at the #Markovskoe oil and gas field.

The fire covered an area of ​​about 1,000 square metres.

#StopRussia Image
#Russia claims #Ukraine shelled a hospital in #Donetsk today.

Puppet leader Denis Pushilin says a man died at the Kalinin hospital.

There is no proof who fired the shells.
This video is said to be #Ukraine forces hitting #Russian targets on the Kinburn spit.

The battle for the thin strip of land south of #Mykolaiv continues.

Unverified - virtually no news has come from Kinburn with both sides reporting almost the exact opposite.
#RussiaOnFire

A village in #Belgorod region, bordering #Ukraine, is without power tonight.

A local substation caught fire in the village of #KrasnayaYaruga.
Some locals mention an explosion before the fire, but not all.

#StopRussia
Looks like a couple of Russian Father Christmases did their best to fulfill Ukrainian seasonal wishes by trying to throw themselves under passing cars.
🤦

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.

The war in Europe continues. This is Day 1445 of Russia's attempt to erase Ukraine from the map & destroy its language and culture.

The genocide continues as I type, with a massive missile attack underway.

For all the news as it happens, keep checking back. This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday started with a supposed assassination attempt on another very senior Russian soldier.

A load of other great stories too, including the start of the overnight attack on Ukraine's remaining energy facilities. Catch up on what you missed here:

Having seen around 200 attack drones flying at the height of Russia's attack tonight, there are now around half that.

Day 1444 of Russia's merciless war has begun with the invaders losing another Lieutenant General - has Ukraine's special services struck again?

Detail on all the stories, all day, every day in my daily thread. Let's Go!
Thursday's thread included the release of a relatively small number of POWs - but finally some Azov fighters were freed.

And double delight for Ukraine tennis fans, to offset a little of the pain of more Russian attacks.
If you missed anything, click⬇️

So, Russia's reporting (which doesn't necessarily make it true) that one of the most senior Generals has been shot.

Lt Gen Vladimir Alekseev is said to be alive and in hospital after the attack in Moscow.

What makes me a little suspicious is there are no photos from the scene. Image
