Day 353 of the war in Europe.
#Ukraine fights for a nation, for liberty, in the name of democracy.
#Russia fights for a small man in a bunker breaking, committing war crimes.

Here's yet another daily🧵 all the news in one place.

Yesterday there was a lot of action, with the day beginning and ending with more aerial weapons fired on #Ukraine.

You can flick through all/any of the news right here. Click and scroll for Friday's stories:

The drone attack last night appears to have done no damage, with all 20 suspected #Iran-made Shahid drones shot down by #Ukraine air defence.
A record numbe of #Russia's soldiers fell in the meat grinder in the last 24 hours.

Even by recent standards, a phenomenal 1,140 further lives ended as the need to gain at least some ground for Putin in the next two weeks is solved by sending waves of men to their death.
It's been revealed this morning that #Russia bombed legendary Snake Island.

Sukhoi Su-24m bombers dropped payload on the tiny island in the Black Sea.

pravda.com.ua/news/2023/02/1…
The news about snake island, plus yesterday's video of an underwater "drone" hitting the railway bridge in #Odesa region and other firing from the black sea on the south western most coast of #Ukraine, suggests a coordintated attempt to distract ZSU and lock down troops there.
#Russia's newest recruiting technique - a holy war against Satan.
Come die in the meat grinder and Jesus will save you.

Tempted?

Not included the British Intel report for a couple of days, but it's more noteworthy today.

I think we know which choice #Russia will make. The one resource they have is zombies,... sorry, human lives.
In #Kyiv region a nasty surprise for one early morning walker.

The remains of a Russian rocket right in the street today.

#StopRussia
Renewed fears about the safety of the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

Satellite photos show #Russia has been releasing water from the Kakhovska damn.

If the water level continues to fall, the nuclear reactors in Enerhodar may not be able to get enough water for safe cooling.
This gives you an idea of how and why #Russia is losing so many troops. Near #Vuhledar (RU: #Ugledar) the Kremlin forces troops to push on, through open plains, with inadequate cover

In #Donetsk, higher ground, longer range weapons, better air defence all help outmanned #Ukraine
#Ukraine confirms a big hit on Occupiers two nights ago in #Zaporizhzhia region.

A #Russia base in Balkove, about 20km sw of #Tokmak, took out arouns 12 tanks and 12 refuelers,
15 APCs (armoured personnel carriers), several anti-aircraft guns and many troops.
No verification.
Operational update from #Bakhmut - you may wish to get it translated.
In brief: the situation remains virtually unchanged along the entire contact line. The supply route is still working well.
It's difficult but we are responding - it's not a passive defence!"

#SlavaUkraini
In 1919 a young Ukrainian Communist, siding with the #USSR, helped destroy early #Ukraine statehood, leading the Soviets in many victories before the brief taste of freedom disappeared

His name was Nikolai Shchors. A monument to him still exists in #Kyiv. Hopefully not for long.
Had many sarcastic messages recently, clearly from people who've never been near #Ukraine, saying things like "try speaking Russian in Kherson/Dnipro/Kharkiv"

It's RU propaganda. People can, and do, freely speak Russian as proven in this superb progamme:
Thank you Morgan for buying me a coffee!
💙💛
Something big is burning in #Donetsk.

This is the Petrovsky district of the occupied city, near #Mariinka.
Lots of dark smoke for the past hour.
Here's another view of the situation in #Donetsk now.

There was shelling in this Petrovsky district yesterday, but no reports of rockets there today.

#DonetskIsUkraine #StopRussia
A lot of shelling in #Kherson all day today.
One big blast earlier affected power in the city.
More explosions in the past hour too and blasts in occupied Kakhovka too.

#KhersonIsUkraine #RussiansGoHome
The exiled Mayor of #Luhansk Serhiy Haidai reports on the Resistance causing problems for occupiers.

He posted this video which is supposedly a railway control system in #Shchastia, about 20km north of #Lugansk city.

Most ammo is delivered to the frontlines by rail.
#Ukraine is being attacked again by drones.

It's likely there are yet more of the #Iran made kamikaze UAVs flying over the country right now, initially heading to #Zaporizhzhia region.
A fire has broken out at Hidropark in #Kyiv. A popular leisure location, seems like a sauna could be ablaze.

#StandWithUkraine
#Russia has lost another attack plane.

The Su-25 fighter was hit by #Ukraine border guards' team near #Bakhmut.

#StopRussia
Debs H - thanks for supporting me.
It takes a lot of time trying to keep across everything as well as checking my own contacts, so all support is incredibly welcome 💙💛
By the way, nothing came of the alert regarding drones flying over Occupied #Zaporizhzhia towards the city itself. Possibly they were dummy or test flights from the Russians. The all clear siren sounded a while ago.
CNN may have made a mistake.. or maybe prophetic?

#WishfulThinking #RealPresident #StopPutin
Amazing photo from the village of #Oleksandrivka in western #Kherson region!

The school was destroyed but part of the chemistry classroom survived.

📷seen on TG channel kherson_typical, but may not be theirs.
The government purge continues.

President #Zelenskyy has this evening sacked Ruslan Dziuba as Deputy Commander of #Ukraine's National Guard.

Dziuba was responsible for logistics and logistics.
'Nenjous' (Mr B.S.) thanks to you too for kindly donating a coffee💙💛

All donations thanked in the thread.
#Ukraine's Sec of the National Security/Defence Council @OleksiyDanilov has said #Russia is preparing a coup in #Moldova.

He says some "rescuers" sent to #Turkiye could be smuggled back to Moldova for the operation there.
Personally I think it's pointless saying things like this
Three explosions reported in #Kharkiv.

Looks like once again S-300 anti aircraft missiles have been used by #Russia to target energy infrastructure in the city.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
#Kharkiv - a small fire broke out at one of the places where the missiles hit.

By the way it's incredibly difficult to intercept S-300s when fired from such close proximity, very likely from just over the border in #Belgorod.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
The fire at #Kyiv's Hidropark (see earlier in the thread) got much worse.

The flames have spread and there's been at least one explosion, captured on camera here.

#SaveUkraine
This is 100% true. #Ukraine was not keen on announcing the deployment of the new heavier artillery for obvious reasons but there's been no hiding it in recent days after #Russia sent 100s to die despite knowing what would happen to them:

Tony just bought me two☕️☕️ via the link on my bio.

Thanks for your continued support my friend.
In #Kharkiv which was hit by bombs earlier, a 35-year-old man was hospitalised.

He suffered shrapnel wounds after one of the strikes.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Paul G just supported me on Ko-Fi
At the risk of offending vegetarians, I'll definitely be getting a Sunday bacon buttie with my coffee tomorrow!
Thanks Paul 💙💛
Unconfirmed reports that #Ochakiv in #Mykolaiv region was also shelled again this evening.

Welcome to the daily thread for Sunday 12 February.
It's Day 354 of the #RussiaUkraineWar and all the news and analysis you need is here in one handy thread.

If you missed something yesterday, click and scroll here:

First, this Sunday, the British Intel update which validates #Ukraine's recent daily reporting of record numbers of enemy deaths.

The last paragraoph could be rewritten "because Putin doesn't give a fig about human life."

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine Image
Today's data show another 900 deaths for #Russia but also noteworthy figures of tanks and artillery systems destroyed - both well above the daily mean.

Hello and welcome to the daily thread about #Ukraine and its defence against #Russia's illegal invasion.

This is Day 352 since last February's all out attack, but now very nearly 9 years since the original invasion. The more the west did nothing, the bolder Putin became:
If you missed anything on Thursday's thread, click and scroll here.

It was particularly telling when a Russian protest group managed to find out #Russia, once cameras has gone, stole back fur coats they'd given to grieving relatives for their losses:
Last night there was a drone wave sent in to Ukraine territory and as I wrote at the time it could well be the precursor to another full missile attack.

That does seem to be happening now with launches detected and mass devastation and death again a possbility for the innocent

Here is my daily thread number 351 on the #Russia-#Ukraine war. One for each day of the war.
News and analysis of all events covering #Putin's illegal war.

Yesterday's thread was limited by Twitter.
I (and most others) were unable to post after 9.30pm UK time.
#StandWithUkraine
In case you were wondering about that tweet which couldn't be loaded, I found it quite amusing as Chancellor Scholz went straight past his flag and to the #Ukraine lectern before being corrected by Zelenskyy!
President @ZelenskyyUa is now arriving in #Brussels to meet EU officials as he continues his mission to get fighter aircraft for #Ukraine.

We've had almost a year now and it really angers me that no-one foresaw this. We never truly protected Ukraine as Russia controls the skies.

We've reached day 350 of #Russia's insane war on #Ukraine
Here's another daily thread.

Tense scenes at the front with pressure mounting on #Bakhmut every hour, but fewer attacks in the rest of Ukraine.
#Kharkiv was shelled last night, you can recap here
First an update from #Kharkiv, no civilians were injured in the shelling as S-300s hit the city centre.

Four rockets hit "a civil industry facility" where there was also a large fire after the impact with buildings completely destroyed.

Missiles also landed in the Central Park.
This morning there have also been two attacks already in #Mykolaiv region.

At 6 o'clock shells hit #Ochakiv on the coast and a little over an hour later #Kutsurub, jusy 7km up the coast was targeted. No further news yet.

Hello and welcome to day 349 of #Russia's war of choice.

#Ukraine still defends valiantly, but the west's tardiness to act has placed them under severe pressure for the next 6 weeks until trained troops return with some new toys.

All the news in one thread, read on...
First the link to yesterday in case you were busy or just want a summary.

A lot of flim flam was written but actually you missed very little. Here's one of the shortest threads of the last 11 months so far:

#Ukraine #Russia

The clock is ticking if #Russia is to meet #Putin's 25th "deadline" (that's a guess, don't take me literally)

The little man with a big anger issue is clearly intent on taking all of Donbas before the anniversary, or 1 March latest.

British intel doesn't think they'll do it.

Hello again. It's Day 348 of the war. Nearing the anniversary of #Russia's illegal full invasion of #Ukraine.

Here's yet another daily thread, updated throughout the day.

#Russia's daily losses on the battlefields of #Ukraine are up again with 870 more lives sacrificed for the Tsar.

A high number of tanks destroyed in the last 24 hours too according to #Kyiv's estimates.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
The further Russification of #Ukraine's lands continue. Any wonder Ukraine has been removing all traces of past links with Russia anywhere that freedom still exists?
