Day 328 and the war continues.
So do the war crimes.

This is my 328th daily thread with the news from #Ukraine as #Russia seeks to destroy a nation, a culture.

Quite a bit of late news yesterday - catch up here:

No rest for the wicked they say.
That was true in #Oslo overnight where it was loud outside #Russia's consulate.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
1/2
Also loud in #Russia, at least in #Belgorod region.

Air Defence spent a long time trying to catch something in the sky.
2/2

They claim they got something in the end.
This is reportedly the remains of what was shot down by #Russia's air defence in #Belgorod.
This story from late last night deserves highlighting again in today's thread.

Another war crime in #Kherson region.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

The USA's Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman arrived in #Kyiv late Monday.

US Ambassador to #Ukraine Bridget Brink accompanied her to meetings with officials from the President's Office and Defence Dept.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Still waiting for more details about the big explosion in #Donetsk region last last night too.

#Khartsyzsk, just a few kilometres away, was hit. The Occupiers have given scant details so far.

#RussiansGoHome
Rescuers are still working in #Dnipro, into the 4th day of sifting through the rubble. All hope of finding anyone still alive looks to have evaporated now.

The death toll remains at 40. Others are still reported to be missing.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Not much change on the frontlines.
Things looking better around #Kreminna than in #Bakhmut

A propagandist from #Russia's Army TV channel showed how the invaders control the upper ground outside Bakhmut.

He also points out bullet holes on a car said to be abandoned by Ukrainians
A woman in #Kherson shows the damage her home suffered during the night.

Every evening and usually in the early hours of the new day too, #Russia consistently shells the southern #Ukraine city.
Massive losses reported again for #Russia. 870 more died on the battlefield yesterday according to #Ukraine's estimates.

Over 5,000 killed in just 8 days.

That new draft may be coming soon!

#RussiansGoHome
#Russia is slammed by British intelligence for its use of unguided, or inaccurate, missiles. One of these killed 40 people in the #Dnipro outrage.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine's Southern Command says there's a record breaking number of cruise missile laden ships and missiles in the Black Sea right now.

More Russian ships have left ports in the last 24 hours. There's now a total of 44 Kalibr missiles ready to hit Ukraine.
#Dnipro

This morning the body of another child has been recovered from the ruined apartment block.

The discovery on the 4th floor takes the total number of victims to 41 (four children)

79 people were injured, 39 have been rescued.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Oleksiy @arestovych has resigned from his position of Adviser to #Ukraine's President

Arestovych apologised for his "error" of saying the #Dnipro disaster may have been caused by an anti-aircraft missile hitting the Russian Cruise rocket.

Calls for his resignation grew.
If you were with me in the early hours of the morning (or diligently read the thread since then!), you'll remember this overnight excitement in #Belgorod region.

The Governor claims only power lines were damaged.

Not snow, but more thermite munitions inflicted on the people of #Kherson this morning.

These are not permitted near civilians or civilian infrastructure.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
#Dnipro update on a grim morning.

More bodies have been recovered from the 4th floor as emergency workers delve further into the ruins.

44 people are now known to have been killed when #Russia hit the apartment block.
In #Moscow not everyone agrees with the Terroist State.

Flowers accompanied a photo of the #Dnipro massacre at the monument to #Ukraine writer Lesia Ukrainka.

While blue and yellow ribbons on more flowers left opposite the FSB building in #Russia's capital.

#StopRussia
The demolition of the apartment block hit by a Russian missile, continues in #Dnipro.

Death toll: 44

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Very little has happened today in #Ukraine, which is a good thing.

Not even politically much new to report.
The rescue operation at Dnipro concluded earlier today. These are the innocent children who lost their lives because of a Russian missile.
Warning - very emotional video.

A tearful Grandfather in #Dnipro shows his anger at #Russia after the loss of his one year old grandchild.

He wishes all Russians to suffer because of the pain they spread.
#RussiaOnFire - all the hallmarks of an insurance job

The idea of #Russia's largest 5-star hotel being in #Siberia, and of all places in non-descript #Manzherok always looked stupid.

Now, with no tourist trade, the 304-bed hotel spontaneously combusted just before completion.
A contribution from anonymous source in #Ukraine

What to do when you see a Russian in the EU?

Punch him in the face and say: "Excuse me, it was your air defense that didn't work, I thought it was a military base, and in general, what are you doing on NATO territory?! F*ck off!"
The pressure on #Ukraine's defenders in #Bakhmut grows each day as #Wagner and regular troops from #Russia's army pour in to the hot zone.
Speaking of being at the front, here's a cool story and a decent listen too.

Sorry there are no subtitles for the interview bit, but everyone will understand!
#Ukraine
#HeroiamSlava
Earlier today Netherlands PM @MinPres indicated to #USA that he wanted to give Patriot to #Ukraine.

Now President Zelenskyy confirms it's happening.

Mayor of #Dnipro thinks the true death toll in the apartment block massacre may be over 50.

Boris Filatov thinks the mixture of cold night and burning rocket fuel may have literally removed all trace of some residents.

The official death toll from #Russia's missile is 45
Great to see #Russia's embassy in Sweden acknowledging the four occupied regions of mainland #Ukraine, and even #Crimea, as still belonging to Ukraine!

This is the start of THE daily thread covering all things Ukraine.

Reliable, accurate information for 1124 days as Russia and its willing accomplices (Iran, North Korea and MAGA-land) try to destroy Ukraine, its culture and its democracy to make it a vassal state.

Here's the🧵
Yesterday started with shocking lies and propaganda from the White House and ended with another massive attack by Russia, knowing tRUmp and co don't mind at all.

Find all the details by clicking and scrolling here⬇️

Worryingly, Russia achieved a 17% hit rate from its overnight drone attack with 25 of 147 getting through Ukraine's air defence.

97 attack UAVs were taken down and 25 more were decoys.

Kyiv came under fire most during the night.

The war Russia inflicted on Ukraine enters Day 1120

Ukraine, a country which never invaded another, never killed anyone abroad; a fully democratic nation where only one President has ever won a second term in office.

Here's THE daily thread for Wednesday, with all the news.
Yesterday was all about the ritual humiliation of tRUmp, dished out by Putin, and the US president's brain being too rusty to realise.

I also indulged in a long sub-thread on my fears about what's happening in Washington DC.
Catch up here:

It's official. tRUmp's supposed skill at making a deal is absolutely RANK

Russia
Afghanistan
NK (North Korea)

#TraitorTrump promised a deal with his mate in NK, got nothing.
He handed the Taliban everything, got nothing.
Now, ending the war in 24 hours turned into humiliationImage

Tuesday 18 March is Day 1119 of the war in Europe

Putin, the aggressor, the war criminal, presiding over countless heinous crimes, executions, kidnapping of children, is about to be given a pass by Donald J Trump.
The despot and the wannabe talk today.

This is THE daily thread
Yesterday saw an explosive end to a day which started with mystery surrounding a Ukraine hit in Russia, and moved through the thread with some harrowing and shocking tales and scenes from Kherson.

Catch up here! #SlavaUkraïni

During the night 7% of Russia's drones defeated air defence, according to Ukraine's figures.

Kyiv says there were 64 simulator drones which fell harmlessly - I think is a record, but cannot be sure.

Another 63 were shot down, with 10 of 137 attack UAVs reaching targets. Image

Welcome to my daily thread, covering all things #Ukraine every single day since even before the first day of Russia's full invasion.

This is Day 1110 of Putin's long promised land grab - he's also pledged to reunite the rest of the USSR.

More atrocities overnight, let's begin:
For those loving people who urge me to get more sleep, you will be pleased to know there was no alarm this morning; I am refreshed and ready to tackle JD TRussia again.

A busy Friday ended with news of the awful attack in free Donetsk, catch up here:

1/2
Coming up news of a significant new oil strike in Russia. While Ukraine sticks to military targets, Putin's horde targets civilians.

#Dobropillya is a small place, but this heinous attack may go down as one of the worst of the war.

A double tap attack & cluster munitions

Today sees the completion of 3 years of full scale war unleashed by #Russia on #Ukraine.

As signs point to an end to this war relatively soon, the ONLY question which should be asked is: are you happy to reward war-criminal terrorists with land?

Here's THE daily thread:
It's Day 1096 of #Russia 's war.

If you missed anything yesterday, catch up on Saturday's news here:

1/2
The #UK is in full focus today.
As @Keir_Starmer prepares to fly to Washington, new sanctions will be unveiled tomorrow.

Foreign Sec @DavidLammy says it will be "the largest package of sanctions against #Russia since the early days of the war eroding its military machine."

Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.

Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.

On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:

100% record in air defence overnight, according to #Ukraine.

Of 83 attack drones fired by #Russia, 61 were shot down by #Ukraine with the other 22 decoys.

I did report a fire in #Sumy last night, but that and damage in #Kharkiv #Poltava + #Kirovohrad were from falling debris. Image
