Hello again. It's Day 369 of the war. #Russia's 10-day war on #Ukraine that is.

Hope your week starts well. It wasn't a great start for Ukrainians with a drone attack as the new week began, but as I write no feared cruise missile attack although there is a warning as I type...
Sunday proved to be quite a newsworthy day concerning #Ukraine, meaning more work for me, including a 4 page essay for Elon Musk - still no reply yet!

To see what you missed, take a scroll back through daily thread number 368 right here:

#StopRussia
Much lower losses again for #Russia in the figures published daily by #Ukraine.

Is it the weekend lag or a case of fewer suicidal waves of Russkiy lemmings trying to take #Bakhmut, #Vuhledar et al?

Looks pretty certain now to hit 150k dead soldiers on the first day of spring. Image

So to the overnight drone attacks on #Ukraine.
General Staff say 11 out of 14 of the suspected Iranian kamikaze models were shot down.

I told about two hits in #Zaporizhzhia at the end of yesterday's thread, but there was also a strike in #Khmelnytskyi in the early hours.
2/2
In #Khmelnytskyi one person was killed and four others injured. Officials say 3 civilian houses were hit.

No photos from either city have been released yet. #Zaporizhzhia leaders say two "non-residential" buildings were hit.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
It seems the drone attack was intentionally sporadic from #Russia.

For example, the air alert in #Kyiv lasted 5.5 hours in the night. Imagine the nerves, boredom, lack of sleep.

Also, Russia probably wants to see air defences and deplete #Ukraine's missile stocks.
#UK's daily update throws light on the recent repeated explosions on occupied #Mariupol.

#RussiansGoHome Image
hmmm, lots of military activity on the roads of #Romania.

It seems a convoy is heading towards the #Moldova border. Obervers say there is at least one HIMARS launcher and 5 German-made Gepard anti-aircraft gun systems.

#StopRussia
Fears of a missile attack on #Ukraine today rise after #Russia put a ship in the Black Sea, armed with Kalibr Cruise Missiles.

A reminder, each drone "attack" recently has been followed within 24 hours by missile attacks.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Thanks to those writing to say this video is from December, for a parade in #Romania. I believe you, but I still cannot find an original source for the video.

Anyhow these may already be deployed near the border where air defence was strengthened.

A big power cut in #Odesa today.
State energy company DTEK confirms an emergency shutdown of a high-voltage line in #Odessa.

There is no reason given and no reports of strikes on the city.

The rest of #Ukraine has been operating on uninterrupted power service for a few days now
Update on the drone attack in #Khmelnytskyi

Two firefighters, Vladyslav Dvorak aged 21 and Serhiy Sevruk, 31, have been killed in a "double tap" strike.

#Russia deliberately waited for emergency services to attend the fire after the first drone strike, then hit with a second. ImageImageImageImage
President Zelenskyy has sacked the Commander of military operations in #Donbas.

Eduard Moskalev was dismissed from the post of the commander of the OOS almost exactly two years after being handed the role.

#Donbass #Bakhmut
Saudi Arabia is the latest country to back #Ukraine.

The oil rich state has promised around $300m of "petroleum products" plus $100m of humanitarian aid, according to the Head of the President's Office @AndriyYermak

#StandWithUkraine️
Four houses destroyed by Russian shelling in #Myrnohrad, a small town about 50km NW of #Donetsk city.

Previously the town has avoided the worst of the war, but attacks on the population are increasing now.
There are no injured or dead this time.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Germany's Build among a few media now saying #Ukraine has until the autumn to show real progress against #Russia.

They reckon if the frontline remains deadlocked, Kyiv's government will be forced to negotiate with the invaders.

So Putin now knows what he has to do

#SaveUkraine Image
The mayor of #Poltava, Oleksandr Mamai has been officially indicted, accused of embezzling 500k hryven ($13,600)

He's accused of paying two women for council work, who allegedly did no work and investigators say "they were housewives at the Mayor's place of residence."
#Ukraine Image
The Gen Sec of the @UN says #Russia is responsible for "the most massive violation of human rights" in the world today.

Yet still the United Nations is powerless to do anything because a Terrorist State possesses a veto.

independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
Nothing on its website yet, but @wizzair has cancelled flights to and from #Moldova from 14 March.

The low cost carrier took the decision "due to concerns about the security situation in the Moldovan airspace."

Wizzair flies to capital #Chisinau from various Euro cities.
#Ukraine's main spokesman for the forces in #Bakhmut' says the situation remains very difficult as "the enemy is increasing the intensity of assaults"

#Russia uses "tactics of exhaustion and total destruction... they are suffering 600 to 1000 losses each day."

#StandWithUkraine
#Ukraine has arrested three men suspected of heading the torture chambers in #Kherson.

When the city was under occupation, witnesses have testified, and evidence has been found of systematic torture of detainees.

#RussiaOnFire

This evening's chapter comes from a metro station in #Moscow. Heavy smoke fills the Sportivnaya metro station.

Some passengers required medical attention for smoke inhalation.

Astonishing story of a convict from #Ulyanovsk, 800km east of #Moscow.

Telegram channel Mobilisation News says a prisoner Minnullin F.F. was recruited by #Wagner in September, after which his family never heard from him again

4 months later relatives were informed his body Image
2/2

..was being taken to the cemetery, his sister says he was buried at night, without their permission, with an empty cross marking his spot.

But she noticed on the zinc coffin used to transport him from #Ukraine, his name was spelt wrongly and on the death certificate.. Image
3/3

..his date of birth was also incorrect.

Officials say the man was identified with a DNA test, but none of the family took a test.

No one has paid compensation - Wagner says there is no information about the deceased.
The sister doubts it's her brother's body buried there. Image
Seems #Russia really liked #Belgium. I wonder why there was so much money in the EU's nerve centre with so many politicians + organisations!

Belgium's Finance Ministry says it froze €58bn of RU assets in a year & blocked transactions worth €191bn, more than any other EU member
Two more drones have been shot down over neighbouring #Dnipropetrovsk and #Zaporizhzhia regions.

#SlavaUkraini
#Norway joins the growing list of nations boycotting Boxing's forthcoming World Champs because of the sport's decision to allow #Russia + #Belarus fighters to compete and under their own flags.

Norway's gone further + refuses to partake in any IBA events

Day 374 of #Russia's war of choice.
I hope your weekend will be happy and peaceful, especially if you're in #Ukraine.

Every single day you can catch up on all the news around the war in one place with these daily threads, updated in real time.

Share, return, scroll!💙💛
Here's the link to Friday's thread for you to catch up with anything you missed:

#StandWithUkraine

For most, it's all eyes on #Bakhmut' in Donetsk region.

Previously an insignifcant town probably fewer than 1% outside #Ukraine had heard of before #Russia's illegal invasion.

Here's the British assessment:

Welcome along to another daily thread, documenting all the news about #Russia's illegal invasion, aggression and war crimes in #Ukraine.

It's Day 373 of Putin's 10 day plan to take total control. All according to plan.

To review Thursday's news click⬇️

Firstly I'm sat in Manchester airport.
I am commentating on a Teqball tournament this weekend. That's great, and lucky for me, this one's in Dubai.
But it means I'll be incommunicado for around 8 hours today, so apologies for the coming "black-out". I will update this evening.
A good crop for #Ukraine in the last 24 hours...

Figures from #Kyiv show some promising figures.
765 more invaders killed and #Russia also lost both a plane and a helicopter yesterday.

Thursday 2 March - or Day 372 of #Russia's war of aggression against #Ukraine.

Here's yet another daily thread - I've been here since Day 1 with the news each and every day from a real Ukraine specialist.

If you want to support what I do, buy me a coffee via the link in my bio!
Let's start by offering a recap of yesterday's news.

You can click and scroll here if you missed anything from Wednesday.

#StandWithUkraine

2 nights ago explosions were reported on Russian territory. The Kremlin said loud sounds at #Yeisk airport, across the water from #Mariupol', were training exercises.

But satellite photos prove large scale fires, though it's not known if planes were hit:

Happy Spring! Welcome to March.
Wednesday is day 371 of the war in #Ukraine.

#Russia's illegal onslaught continues, especially on the eastern front.

All the news in one handy thread.
Catch up on yesterday's developments here:

#Russia attacked #Ukraine with another small wave of drones last night.

There are no signs of damage, although Ukraine reports only shooting down five of the UAVs, all hit by air defence in #Poltava region.

#StopRussia
Meanwhile reports of explosions in occupied #Crimea.

There may have been two separate attacks on #Russia's invaders with chat sites full of messages asking what the loud bangs were.

No confirmation, but this is a good round up of what's known:

We're into day 370 of #Russia's war on its peaceful neighbour.

#Ukraine continues its existential battle for existence, but it's tough right now in #Donetsk where Russia's army keeps missing deadlines, but hopes by tomorrow's start of spring to have results.

Here's the daily🧵
The day started well for #Ukraine with #Japan announcing more sanctions on #Russia.

39 individuals, 73 organisations and a bank are targeted as well as 9 collaborators from east and southern Ukraine are listed. Asset freezes may follow

#StandWithUkraine
mofa.go.jp/press/release/…
The Governor of #Russia's #Belgorod region claims 3 Ukraine drones were destroyed overnight.

Vyacheslav Gladkov says "wreckage of three unmanned aerial vehicles was found. There are no casualties, but there is damage: windows are broken, cars are slightly damaged."

Day 368 of Europe's war and welcome to Sunday's daily thread with all the information you need in one handy🧵

It's still fairly quiet in most of #Ukraine as #Russia continues its illegal war.

Here's the link if you want to catch up on yesterday's events

The death of another American soldier has been confirmed in #Ukraine.

28-year-old Afghanistan veteran Andrew Peters from #Wisconsin died 10 days ago while helping Ukraine defend its territory. Andrew was part of the International Defence Legion.
📷Wisconson Public Radio
Each day #Ukraine releases figures for the numbers of Russian soldiers killed and equipment destroyed.

Invariably it's lower at weekends. So today's numbers (covering Saturday's losses) are lower across the board. I'm wondering if a couple of units don't report at weekends?
