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.
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
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."
Prigozhin's #Wagner group says it's taken the Stupka area of northern #Bakhmut & claim to release a video from there. But it shows Yahidne and the very outskirts of Bakhmut not the railway station at Stupka.
They predict the AZOM industrial complex could become the new Azovstal.
Sadly I do not know who took these photos in #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk), but they portray the plight of beleagured residents, seeing their town flattened before their eyes. Month after month of bombs, rockets and artillery.
CCTV of the moment of the blast has been published in #Russia. It happened this morning at the coastal town of #Tuapse, which is midway between Krasnodar and Sochi.
#Russia has again shown, and admitted, how poor its air-defence is.
They admit a #Ukraine drone ran out of fuel and crashed near the gas compressor station in #Kolomna, 100km from #Moscow.
There were no explosives attached, but the UAV flew around 500km undetected! #SlavaUkraini
The Resistance movement in occupied #Crimea is improvising in graffiti wars!
#Russia's "Z" symbols are being turned in to yellow and blue hourglasses across the region, signifying the hope they won't have to wait too much longer for liberation.

Account created 15 months ago, 7 followers, zero tweets (or deleted) for 13 months, suddenly has time to send this sort of crap.
There is a real uptick in bots, trolls, shills.
It's all costing Russia money and taking cash away from the suffering people.
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.
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:
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:
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.

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?
