This is Day 347 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine and my 347th Daily Thread.

Welcome along to the place for all the news and analysis in one handy 🧵

Saturday was quiet, but here's the link in case you were busy and need a refresher:

Now for many in the #UK, today is "Happy Valley Day" - the finalé of the very popular TV series.

Actor Sarah Lancashire donated her police hat and shoulder numbers which raised over £4,000 for #Ukraine at a Halifax Ukrainian Club charity event.

This morning's Intel update from the UK is the grimmest for a while. It seems they expect #Bakhmut to fall soon.

#StandWithUkraine Image
Another 700 dead Russian soldiers according to the daily stats released by #Ukraine.

#RussiansGoHome Image
Central #Kharkiv has been hit by #Russia.

A residential building has been hit, there is a fire now.

"Information about the victims and destruction is being specified."
A big hit this morning in #Druzhivka in #Donetsk too.

#Russia says it's a pinpoint strike on redeployed #Ukraine reserves who'd just arrived in the town near #Kramatorsk
It's now known at least three people have been injured in #Russia's latest attack on #Kharkiv.

A 54-year-old woman and two men aged 51 and 55 were wounded. The woman was hospitalised with a shrapnel wound, the men were treated on the spot.

Going out on a limb here with a wild guess.

Rubles? 🇷🇺💰💶

In #Kherson, firefighters have been busy.

More incendiary weapons were used on the city overnight according to local officials

For all the fuel price caps and sanctions, it's reports like this which show why #Russia isn't suffering like it should be.

#India buys more and more #Russian oil. Then resells as Indian fuel for the west.

A fourth person has been injured in #Kharkiv.
A security guard was treated for minor cuts and bruises.

The four storey residential building was hit with one missile while a 5-storey college building was also struck. Image
The first video from the scene of #Russia's attack on #Kharkiv is very upsetting.

Remarkable seeing this that no-one died. Four injuries.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
A couple of hours ago there was a loud bang in #Belgorod. No explanation from any official in #Russia.

Now rumours are growing it was a Russian aircraft crashing. Trying to find out the truth.
In occupied #Vesele (RU: #Veseloe) 'several' explosions recorded by locals. The village is in #Zaporizhzhia region, about 20km from the oblast border with #Kherson.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
More photos of the carnage wrought by #Russia's missiles in #Kharkiv earlier.

Five people injured as two separate S-300s hit the centre of #Ukraine's second city.

The two buildings hit were a residential block and a college.
#StopRussia ImageImageImageImage
In occupied #NovaKakhovka explosions at a yacht club.

The Maxmarine establishment is a club where #Russia's elite among the invaders are known to enjoy socialising. Could be some interesting losses...

#StopRussia
An upscale restaurant in #Kyiv, next to #Ukraine's Intelligence Dept, was bugged.

Over 10 bugs were found in the Steakhouse, which has been sealed off the now.

Police think the recordings were not directly controlled by #Russia but sold by local traitors.

More shelling this afternoon in #Kherson region.

This is #Beryslav - being hit more and more often from the other side of the river.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine Image
Widely reported in #Ukraine tonight, confirmation @oleksiireznikov is being sacked as Defence Minister.
He'll be replaced by popular Military Intel chief Kyrylo Budanov.

Reznikov will become Minister for Strategic Industries of Ukraine, a big demotion, replacing Pavel Ryabykin.
16 children, abducted by #Russia, have been returned to #Kherson.

Delighted mothers were given the news that their children are safe. 4 months ago the youngsters were sent to #Yevpatoria in #Crimea and looked unlikely to return.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome Image
Those who have lived under #Russia's repression continue to be the ones who respond best to tackling Russian aggression.

#StandWithUkraine #Lithuania

The Head of the Russian Orthodox Church has often been seen as an FSB operativ, and now a Swiss newspaper has proven his links with th KGB.

Patriarch Kirill's duty in the 1970s was to gain influence in the World Council of Churches.

The @FT says #Russia will begin a new offensive within 10 days, and it's likely to be in #Luhansk from Kreminna.

It's speculation based on troops massing there. The new mobiks could be moved a little south to the #Bakhmut offensive but they do have enough for a wide attack.

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:

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.

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:

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
