Good morning and welcome to the daily thread for Day 367 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine, although we're now into the tenth year of #Putin's troops being illegally on Ukrainian territory.

As always, all the news you need in one handy place, updated throughout the day...
To catch up on yesterday's developments on Europe's eastern border, click and scroll on the link below.

If you would like to support what I do, please buy me a coffee (link on my profile page)💙💛

Another large number of tanks destroyed by #Ukraine's army in the last 24 hours*

Also, another helicopter downed and 650 further invaders killed. Although this is down a little on some recent days the total figure will reach 150,000 on Tues or Weds.

*Ukr official figures
Britain's Ministry of Defence Intel briefing focuses on "kamikaze" drones.

As pointed out frequently in these daily threads, #Russia now mainly seems to use UAVs to test and reveal #Ukraine's air defences, often prior to a big cruise missile attack.

#RussiansGoHome
So no missile attacks on #Ukraine yesterday and #Russia's media completely ignored the anniversary of the invasion.

I believe it's because Putin had ordered #Donetsk (or at very least #Bakhmut) to be taken, but they failed.
The next date is the start of spring on 1 March.
Joe Biden has promised to "respond" if #China starts giving weapons to #Russia.

Speaking to ABC, @POTUS says he's pointed out the economic impact for Beijing if it supplies arms to kill Ukrainians.

Within the last few minutes, another nationwide air raid warning has been issued in #Ukraine.

#Russia has raised MiG-31K aircraft, which are capable of firing deadly "dagger" missiles.

#StopRussia
Anger among Ukrainians this morning to some media reports in the west that #Germany #France and possibly the #UK too, are trying to push #Ukraine into resuming peace talks.

I don't know a single Ukrainian who trusts Germany and France after previous negotiating debacles.
The illegitimate President of #Belarus is heading to #China soon. Obviously too far and risky for Bunker Boy to head there, so he sends his lackey from the neighbouring New Soviet/Fascist Republic.

Risky for Lukashenko though. Can I hear the word "coup" in #Minsk?
#Ukraine's General Staff describes the "hell" near #Bakhmut.

They claim around 70 separate attacks by #Russia were repulsed on the eastern front, around Kupiansk, Lyman, Avdiivka and Shakhtars'ke near #Vuhledar, as well as Bakhmut and it's also still hot around #Kreminna
#Ukraine says it is putting further defences along the entire border with both #Russia and #Belarus.

The whole strip will be completely mined and the width of the defensive mine field and anti-tank defences will be 2km.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
Most of the air raid alerts in #Ukraine were lifted by the way, but then new ones were imposed in most southern areas of #Ukraine because of ships and aircraft being active in the Black Sea.
New explosions reported in occupied #Melitopol' in the past few minutes.

During the night residents heard two blasts near the city centre, but because of curfew and secrecy from the Russians, no further details are known so far about these or the new explosions.
#StopRussia
It's also very difficult getting verified information from #Mariupol' the big port in #Donetsk.

There have been reports of attacks by #Ukraine's military there for the past 4 days. Today a video's emerged supposedly of the latest blast site, a Russian base in the city.
I've not featured #Nikopol and #Marhanets in these threads for a while. They are located just over the river from the invaders in #Dnipropetrovsk region.
The shelling continues, almost every night.

Here are some photos from the latest damage

Support for the war in #Russia appears to be growing. A reliable poll shows that compared to two months ago, those in favour of continuing the conflict in #Ukraine has increased from 45% to 49%.

Of course many respondents refuse to answer, so the real figure may be lower.
In the 1st year of war, the #EU gave well over twice as much cash to #Russia than it did in support of #Ukraine.

The staggering statistic is the result of Europe buying so much fossil fuel from the Terrorist State, although graphs here show it's reducing

Seen in the centre of #Perm' a big city 1,300km east of #Moscow.

The banner, which appeared yesterday, says "Year of Shame" , referencing the anniversary of #Russia's invasion.

#StopRussia
Also in #Perm' a one-person anti-war demo was daringly started on a bus.

He then got off, stood outside for a while with his "No War" poster. It's not known if police got to the mystery man or if he escaped

As more and more body bags come home, we have to hope protests increase
Emergency services in #Kherson have just released a video of a major fire at a kindergarten in the city after #Russia shelled the building last night.

They report that the invaaders continued to fire at them even while tackling the fire. Thankfully there were no injuries.
In #Kostyantynivka (RU: #Konstantinovka), Russia hit a kindergarten and four five-storey buildings with an S-300 missile (photos). Only one person was injured.

Also in free #Donetsk, the invaders fired two S-300s on #Lyman. 2 private houses were destroyed, no injuries reported.
#Bakhmut holds. A quick view from the wasteland.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Two people have been killed by Russian landmines in #Kherson

It happened near Dobryanka village, where 3 men were cultivating a field. 2 died instantly, 1 survived but is in hospital

Also a 63yo man is also in hospital after a landmine exploded in a separate incident in Kherson
A big fire is raging at a paints and varnish factory in the northern suburbs of #Kyiv.

Emergency services are on site, local roads are blocked. There have not been any rockets or missiles.
A first Latin American country has backed calls for a tribunal for the war crimes committed by #Putin and the Russian Federation.

#Guatemala supports a special tribunal. #Ukraine is trying to improve relations with Central and South American nations where Russian money talks.
This is thought to be a photo of a ruined ARK-1 "Lynx" radar complex used by #Russia.

It was hit by #Ukraine's army on Wednesday with a high-precision Excalibur missile.
📷TG DeepState.
#Russia is complaining that #Ukraine has blown up a dam to prevent the invaders advancing on #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk)

The river is surging now.
#StopRussia
#RussiaOnFire

In central #Moscow, a dormitory of a State University (MIIGAiK) caught fire.

The blaze broke out on the 16th floor. 52 people left the building on their own. It's believed everyone escaped without injury.
Fancy that. Just so happens #Russia had a drone monitoring the exact place in occupied #Donetsk at the exact moment rockets landed killing four people.

This was on Thursday in the Petrovskyi district of Donetsk.

Welcome to Thursday's thread with all the important news on Russia's illegal war in Ukraine.

It's Day 1275 - the day Putin openly mocks Trump.
After China + India upped oil purchases, the indicted war criminal ordered his army to bomb a US company in🇺🇦

Let's begin:
Ukraine is recovering from the predicted massive overnight attack.

Russia launched more than 600 missiles and drones.

The mayhem started in the last third of yesterday's exhausting thread. If you missed it, click and scroll here:

So let's break down Russia's aerial attack, which consisted of 40 missiles and 574 drones.

Ukraine's air defence intercepted these missiles:
1/4 Kindzhal hypersonic
0/2 ballistic
12/14 Kalibr cruise
18/19 Kh-101 cruise
0/1 unknown

and 546/574 UAVs = 95%

11 locations were hit. Image

It's Day 1274 of Ukraine's incredible defence of its people, land, culture + shielding many NATO states, next on Putin's hit-list from his long stated dream to reunite the USSR

Somehow Trump & his cults (I nearly misspelled that) seem intent on helping Putin.
Here's the daily🧵
Tuesday was another 50+ post thread, packed full of some more untold insights into Ukraine news and life, including the resurgence of Covid and a language 'foul' on the football field.

But politics and Russian atrocities are omnipresent.
Here's your link
Let me start with an unwanted shock for residents in Poltava, who were warned of a radiation threat this morning, I imagine sparking all sorts of horrific thoughts.

Thankfully, the governor says it was human error, Myrhorod should've had an air alert, not the radiation warning. Image

There's an angry reaction from a wide cross section of society to Trump's compliant acceptance of Putin doing just what he wanted on U.S. soil

Welcome to my🧵on Day 1270 of Russia's war. I've never missed a day, if you want to support my quest for truth

Yesterday proved to be about a 26 hour long thread, which even for me was crazy!

Ukraine had great success striking military targets, while eventually, Putin had great success manipulating Trump.

Here's the link if you're catching up:

It's distasteful seeing leaders pussy-foot around, scared to upset Trump's fragile ego

Zelenskyy's forced to be careful, but Ukraine's always been ready for the unconditional ceasefire Trump first demanded 5 months ago. So no surprise he's travelling to Washington on Monday

It's Alaska Day, or a couple of half-baked Alaskas meeting later as Russia hopes to carve up Ukraine, with Trump's approval.

That's much later on Day 1269 of Putin's war.
As I start this thread at around 02:30 GMT, 05:30 Ukraine, there is a big attack on Russia.
Let the🧵begin
In a rush to get to sleep, so let me waste no further time in giving the link to yesterday's thread.

Both X and BSky have been a bit crappy scrolling through threads. One thing you can do is click my profile and then "replies", click one + scroll up

So, as I posted a few minutes ago at the end of Thursday's thread, a big, successful attack on another oil refinery in Russia.

This time it's the Rosneft plant in the city of Syzran, in Saratov region.

Whoever said 7 days is a long time in politics was dead right.

An about turn from tough guy & threats to TACO queen & Putin's poodle. And the next 7 days is now set to bring another cosy meet between a felon and an indicted war criminal.

It's Day 1263 of THE Ukraine thread:
A later start to Saturday's thread because of a crazily late finish to the last🧵

Fewer than 20,000 views for the first time in weeks on such an important day🤨🤔

So much effort and so little impact some days 😢

President Zelenskyy's damning response to the TrumPutin plan came early in social media posts - the full subtitled video is next in my🧵

As I said last night when Trump announced details, Putin got EVERYTHING he wanted (again) & gave up nothing, not even secondary tariffsImage

Day 1261 - the White House thinks the war in Ukraine is coming to an end.

Especially as the Kremlin has this morning announced Putin and Trump will meet in the coming days.
But is the war criminal just duping the US Pres again and buying more time?

Follow me & today's thread:
Much of Wednesday was taken up with the politics surrounding US envoy Wirkoff's latest chummy chat with Putin.

But then it turned dark, literally as the sun went down, but Ukraine looks to have had the better of the drone exchanges.
Catch up here:

I think we should start with the latest from Moscow on the first of the meetings which most hope will end the war, but few realists believe.

The venue has been arranged - this is from one of Russia's state news agencies. Image
