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

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."

#SaveUkraine
#Russia's losses on the battlefield continue to be markedly lower for a third successive day.

The official last day of winter ends with just 550 deaths of invading troops according to #Ukraine's govt.

Equipment losses are down too. Image

In #Ussuriysk in the far east of #Russia, a warehouse blaze spread to a shop where rubber is said to be recycled.

Britain's daily update reacts swiftly to yesterday's news from #Belarus of drones taking out one of #Russia's "big beasts" of the sky.

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.

A drone has hit an oil depot in the #Krasnodar region of #Russia.

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.

#StopRussia
#Russia is again accused of deliberately firing at emergency workers

One rescuer was killed in #Sviatohirsk and four others were injured after another "double tap" shelling.

Regional Head Pavlo Kirylenko said "this is a conscious and cynical attack on those who help civilians." ImageImageImageImage
State employees in the occupied part of #Zaporizhzhia claim the Russians haven't paid them for a second successive month.

Although it cannot be confirmed, chat sites have been filling up with messages (from untraceable accounts) confirming the initial allegation

#RussiansGoHome
#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!

A glimpse inside #Vuhledar (RU: #Ugledar) which #Ukraine's army continues to defend.

Much of the town has been reduced to this as #Russia throws wave after wave of cattle to take territory in #Donetsk oblast.

#StopRussia
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.

#Finland has started work on what may become a strengthened border fence along its border with #Russia.

Initially the Finns are building a 3km "test" section, buying land, clearing trees has already happened:

New allegations by Russian journalists against The Tsar.

Putin is accused by the "Project" group of giving his lover Kabaeva the largest apartment in all of #Russia

The luxury pad is worth $100 million; the floor space is equivalent to 75 one room flats

The first satellite images from the airfield in #Belarus don't reveal much about the supposedly damaged Russian A-50 aircraft.

Many questions including is it even the same plane?
In short - the next batch of satellite snaps should be better.

#Ukraine has issued a warning after #Russia sent FIVE cruise missile carriers into the Black Sea.

Ukraine's Southern Command says they are capable of holding 32 Kalibr weapons, adding "he threat level has been significantly increased."

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine has put the Metro Cash & Carry company on the list of international sponsors of the war.

The decision was made because the management of German owned @METRO_News continues to trade in Russia.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
A councillor in #Kherson has posted photos of what he claims in #Ukraine hitting Russian warehouses in the occupied part of ther region.

Yuriy Sobolevskyi did not reveal the location of the strikes. ImageImage
Occupiers in #Donetsk report the death of a 14 year old girl after shelling near the centre today.

This happened in the Kirovskyi district of the city. ImageImageImage
More of #Iran's kamikaze drones threatening #Ukraine right now.

Many regions, including #Kyiv, have air alerts in the latest attack by #Russia.

Explosions, thought to be air defence, heard in #Kremenchuk.

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:

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

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?
