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:

24tv.ua/vibuhi-yeysku-…
Tonight two people are dead after #Russia struck another apartment block, this time in #Zaporizhzhia

The 5-storey building is almost destroyed. Rescue workers think some people may still be under the rubble.

S-300 missiles were again used.
#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine ImageImageImageImage
#Slovakia may be about to send fighter jets to #Ukraine.

The decision surrounds de-commissioned Soviet era MiG-29 planes, with plans to donate 10 to #Kyiv within days.

apnews.com/article/slovak…
In #Ukraine last night a train derailed in #Kyiv region.

This happened near #Boryspil'
The cause of the accident is unknown. There were no injuries.

#StandWithUkraine Image
Wow! Something's gone wrong with state TV in #Russia

On the (Terrorist) nation's favourite propaganda talk show they discuss the possibility of defeat in the war and even the breakdown of stable society, and no one interrupts!

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
The total number of dead soldiers of #Russia's army hits the 150,000 mark (#Kyiv estimate)

Over 700 more lives sacrificed by Moscow and 20 APCs being destroyed in the last 24 hours is also a significant number today.

Big shout of thanks to C.LiesL who just supported the thread by buying me a "Ko-Fi"
Much love💙💛
If you can afford anything from £4( €5) it really helps me spend the vast amounts of time on these threads.
The concept of CCM + ‘bezdorizhzhia’😂are inrtoduced to readers in today's UK Intel update.

The only words I would add are from the other perspective. Mud doesn't help a swift retreat if one should be needed, especially in #Bakhmut where most routes are under Russia fire control Image
A third person has died following thr missile attack on #Zaporizhzhia.

The rescue operation continues, 11 people have been released from the rubble and 7 are hospitalised.

Another update in the last few minutes from #Zaporizhzhia.

A fourth body has been found in the rubble of the apartment block hit by #Russia overnight.
Five more people are still missing, including a child

8 are now receiving treatment in hospital.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Some strange reports circulating in Russian media right now.

They claim a DRG (sort of army scouts) crossed into #Russia's #Bryansk region, shot at a moving car, killing one person and injuring a child.

Then the 40-strong DRG allegedly took hostages in Sushany village.
More on this..

#Russia now claiming an electrical substation and a gas station were blown up in #Sushany.
Russian war propagandists say a shootout is happening there now.

Sounds and smells like a provocation.

Earlier the regional Governor of #Kursk in #Russia claimed there were "victims" after #Ukraine shelling of #Tyotkino village.

He added more details would be released later.
#Berdyansk update

Media claim a man, a woman and two children were taken hostage from the village of #Sushany

Then, about 20km away in another village, more hostages were supposedly taken from a local store in #Lyubechan

A news agency claims the Ukrainians wore yellow ribbons.
One person was killed and another injured in this incident in #Kursk region of #Russia, according to the Head of the Oblast.

This may be interesting..

In #Kyiv a fire has broken out just north of the centre, near a branch of the @Auchannews supermarket.

#Auchan (#Ашан) has been accused of helping #Russia's army in its illegal war.

Not sure yet if there is a connection. Image
The FSB says it is co-ordinating with the military to liquidate #Ukraine's DRG squad, which they allege crossed the border into #Bryansk and has taken hostages.

#Russia also reports a second child has been shot, this time in Lyubechan.
The "siege" involving #Ukraine soldiers who crossed the Russian border sounds more farcical every minute.

Here's a translation of a new post by Mash.

Suddenly 40-50 soldiers is now 15?
Conveniently for RU CCTV cameras are offline!
I thought schools were on distance learning? Image
Video here showing the Russian A-50 air defence plane taking off from #Belarus.

It was reportedly damaged when saboteurs attack the airfield near #Minsk.

Surreal! But looks like a false flag

Here's a video from #Bryansk region where #Russia said #Ukraine had invaded!

This is supposedly he "Russian Volunteer Corps" (remember them?)
They say they want to prove to the Russian people that there is hope and they can fight the regime"
Russia has injured 9 people queuing for humanitarian aid in #Kherson oblast.

Drones were used to attack #Beryslav and specifically the aid point in the town.

A child is among those receiving treatment.

#StopRussia ImageImage
While #Russia's A-50 air defence plane managed to leave #Belarus today, heading to #Taganrog for repairs, a new video shows how easy it was for protest group BYPOL to damage aircraft there.

This reconnaissance trip saw the drone land right on top of the radar station.
Y'day Russians were annoyed to read Serbia's President say he'd arrest #Wagner volunteers. Today, #Serbia is discussing possibly supplying shells to #Ukraine.

It left Russia's Foreign Ministry, Zakharova shocked, promising "this will definitely affect Serbo-Russian relations."
More problems for #Russia.
Ali Express has suddenly blocked all drone orders from the country.

Chinese Technology and drone manufacturer DJI confirmed the new block on "selling any products in the Russian region"

#StandWithUkraine ImageImage
#Russia managed to fly its A-50 radar plane out of #Belarus, to get repaired in #Taganrog

But questions remain about air defence in #Minsk. The partisan group which claimed the drone attack on the airfield showed how they landed on the radar station itself on a previous flight
The damage to the A-50 may have saved #Ukraine from a missile attack this week. Everything seemed to be in place for a joint sea and air cruise missile assault, but maybe #Russia had to call off the operation without protection in the skies.
All round not a good day for #Russia.

This morning a test of a new military transporter aircraft went wrong with the plane crashing on to its hangar, killing one person and the plane destroyed.

Then this evening two military trucks crashing into each other on the Baltic highway ImageImage
It's gone rather quiet from #Russia about what happened AFTER the so-called #Ukraine terrorist attack in #Bryansk.

The Russian Volunteer Corps is NOT part of Ukraine's armed forces in any way. One high profile figure is a racist Russian who was expelled from Germany.
An explosion in #Moscow region this evening and authorities have no explanation.

The blast happened in #Kolomna and could be heard for miles around. Some residents said they heard a whistle beforehand.

No further details yet.

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.

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."

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?
