It's Sunday 19 February and this is the start of another thread on #Russia's illegal war.

#Ukraine continues to fight for its very existence.
This is another daily thread with all the news, all day.

Here's the link for yesterday's thread:

Starting today with a video which came out last night, supposedly showing a snapshot of the ongoing power-battle inside #Russia's war effort. This even extending to the troops now as #Wagner's mob of mercenaries comes up again "official" Russian army troops in #Ukraine
Here are the daily losses for #Russia in its bid to obliterate #Ukraine and its people.

Numbers well down across the board, except for the two cruise missiles which were hit, though the other two landed in #Khmelbytskyi.

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine
Today's update from the UK MoD is strictly in the "weekend" category. Pretty old news here for regular Ukraine watchers:
Interesting to note a news report in #Crimea - why would they suddenly need a new hospital?

In #Sevastopol there will be a blood transfusion specialist service and an oxygen station among other medical needs.

Looks like many incoming new mobilised visitors are due.
In occupied #Berdyansk there's a strong fire that looks like fuel is burning. No reports of rockets hitting there.

This is right on the southern tip of the city, jutting into the sea.

#StandWithUkraine
Heavy shelling in the centre of occupied #Donetsk today - at least three people are reported to be injured.

The prosecutor's office caught fire and residential buildings and a library were also hit.

#DonetskIsUkraine
A lot of damage to residential areas is reported by Occupiers in #Donetsk.

Some #Ukraine channels are saying it's a provocation and #Russia is firing on its "own", but there's no proof either way yet.

#RussiansGoHome
In #Kramatorsk two missiles have hit.

A film crew of FREEDOM TV witnessed of the arrival. Thick smoke rises in the city now.

#DonetskIsUkraine #SaveUkraine
More thick smoke in an occupied are of #Ukraine.

This is in #Tavriisk, in the Russian controlled part of #Kherson region, near Kakovka.

#KhersonIsUkraine #StopRussia
#Ukraine has shot down another Russian Su-25 jet.
It's the 299th plane downed in a year.

The news came in the Gen Staff evening update, saying "Ukrainian defenders shot down an enemy Su-25 aircraft, 2 Orlan-10 type unmanned aerial vehicles and a Lancet-3 kamikaze drone."
Four people have suffered wounds after shelling in #Kharkiv region today.

Two women aged 32 + 50 were hospitalised in Liptsi village.

A 45-year-old woman was injured by shrapnel in Vovchansk near #Chuhuiv, and a man aged 40 was injured during shelling of #Kruhliakivka.
I got a positive response yesterday to the photos I posted on the 9th anniversary of the start of the massacre on #Maidan in #Kyiv.

The day after the first mulitple killings of protesters in 2014, the violence continued on the 19 Feb. Again all my own photos.
An investigation's been launched in #Ukraine after a man died one month after mobilisation.

Friends of Bohdan Pokitka say he had no training and died at the front just 4 days after being sent to the contact line.

#RussiaOnFire

A large blaze earlier today in the #Penza region.

This time a furniture factory burned down in the city of #Kuznetsk. No injuries reported.

thx @CarolynnePries1
#Ukraine has accused #Russia of blocking the rotation of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) experts at the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in occupied #Enerhodar.

#StopRussia

#Kherson was once again hit by incendiary weapons tonight.

Chat sites are full of videos like this. In a populated area these sort of thermite munitions are outlawed.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
The new Prime Minister of #Moldova has called for the puppet #Russia controlled 'state' of #Transnistria to be demilitarised.

Dorin Recean said "it is necessary to expel Russian troops and then integrate the inhabitants of the region economically and socially."

#RussiansGoHome
In occupied #Donetsk, something is burning in the Kyivsky district of the city.

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.

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

Good morning world, on Day 1076 of #Russia's genocidal war on #Ukraine

It's now 14 days since Trump's inauguration & no peace deal, but his "peace envoy" Kellogg is expected to visit both aggressor and defender soon.

Here's Monday's daily thread. All you need to be in the know
Daily🧵views were slightly up over the weekend, which is heartening as it's a critical time.

#Ukraine is starting to hurt #Russia logistically, while Putin responds by killing civilians, confident he'll soon get a Trump-pass.

Read Sunday's news here:
While #Ukraine hurt #Russia infrastructure during the night (covered at the end of last night's thread), the terrorist state still has success with its own drone attacks.

More than 11% got through 🇺🇦defences overnight, with 38 of 71 UAVs being stopped and 25 likely decoys. Image

Sunday 19 January is Day 1061 of #Russia's all-out war in #Ukraine. We are also just 2 weeks away from the 4,000th day since #Moscow's initial invasion with the start of its illegal takeover of #Crimea

Welcome to another daily thread with all the news you need in one place 💙💛
Thankfully a quieter start to Sunday than yesterday, which means I get a later start today.

Saturday was all about #Russia's double ballistic attack which brought death to 2 #Ukraine cities.
Catch up on that and all yesterday's stories here⬇️

#Russia's overnight attack was less intense, but still, two attack drones slipped through the net according to #Ukraine's air defence figures.

43 of 61 UAVs were destroyed, with 15 decoy/simulation drones posing no threat and one still flying this morning. Image

Hello on Day 1054 of #Russia's terrorist campaign in #Ukraine.

I've been working for a while today, tidying up loose ends, but a late start to the daily thread - the only feed you need for all the important news and analysis.

So a lot to catch up on, let's go again!
Normally I pin the first post of the thread on my profile page, but for another 24 hours the pinned item is about the auction for a truly unique item - please check it out

So, it's even more important I post a link back to yesterday's thread. Here we are
#Ukraine's air defence team worked very efficiently last night and this morning.

#Russia launched 94 drones from four directions.
60 were shot down and 34 more 'simulators' or others were also stopped.

Some houses in #Kharkiv #Sumy and #Poltava regions were damaged by debris. Image
