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.

The meat grinder is cranking up again.

Daily losses for #Russia heading back up again according to #Ukraine.

A further 800 of the Kremlin's soldiers fertilising the rich soil. Also Cruise missiles high for obvious reasons and a notable increase in technical vehicles/fuel tanks.

It's Thursday and it's Day 358 of #Russia's illegal war on its peaceful neighbour and another daily thread

Yet again the day started violently for many regions of #Ukraine with overnight missile attacks targeting critical civilian infrastructure, which is itself a war crime...
Apologies for the late start today, I've had meetings from first thing, which overran a little

First, here the link for yesterday's thread as I know a few of you like to read back in one go and others like to catch up with that they missed in the evening:
So to the overnight attack by #Russia with Cruise missiles and more.

#Ukraine says it shot down 16 out of 32 missiles. Twelve Kh-22 hypersonic missiles cannot be intercepted with current defences.

It's likely #Russia is using a high % of Kh-22 stocks before Patriot is in place

This is the start of Wednesday's daily thread with news and analysis from #Russia's war on #Ukraine.
This is Day 357, which has started relatively quietly.

To recap, or check anything you missed yesterday, click and scroll Tuesday's 🧵:

On Tuesday we learned of the death of an 8th British man in the war in #Ukraine

He's now been named as 45 year old Jonathan Shenkin, born in Glasgow but living in London. Mr Shenkin enlisted for the Ukrainian army & worked as a paramedic.

His family describe him as a hero.
RIP
Britain, Canada Czechia + Sweden all confirm a boycott of next month's women's Boxing's World Championship in India

USA + Ireland already withdrew.
Theyre all angry at Putin's mate, IBA President Umar Kremlev, who's allowing Russians to fight under 🇷🇺flag

Hello and welcome to Daily thread number 356 covering #Russia's war on #Ukraine.

Monday was a long day for me, but I was very encouraged by the response and interest from people I met in Brussels at my film launch.

Catch up on the conflict news here:
A year ago I was about to leave #Ukraine, scrambling to fly after airlines cancelled routes out.

It was a little quieter than normal but no-one believed bombs would be raining down in just 10 days' time.

Millions of peaceful lives ruined.
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A spectacular edition of #RussiaOnFire to bring you this morning.

In north-east #Moscow flames quickly engulfed a repair warehouse. It's believed only cars were repaired..

Tyres burning and oil barrels exploding hampered emergency services but 3 people were rescued.

Day 355 of the brutal war started by #Russia on its peaceful neighbour. Very nearly 10 years since the first invasion of #Ukraine and the world did nothing, hoping the aggression would stop. The world did the same after Georgia. Nothing stopped. Dictators don't stop voluntarily
I'm tweeting from Manchester airport ahead of the Premiere of my new film "Ukraine: A War On Two Fronts" in Brussels this lunchtime.

I should be able to post a link to the live stream here a little nearer the time.

Meanwhile catch up on Sunday's 🧵here:
Before I go any further, immense thanks to Scott Vierling for the very generous donation via Ko-Fi which I saw when the alarm clock went off far too early!

Thanks to everyone for all support, be it cash, encouragement or tip-offs.💙💛
