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.

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:
#StandWithUkraine
The number of Russians being killed in #Ukraine is on the way up again*

820 new sacrifices. Putin must be pleased so many are prepared to die for his fascism

But just as important to me is the continuing high number of artillery systems destroyed

*Kyiv estimate
#RussiansGoHome
The agony goes on in #Zaporizhzhia following #Russia's S-300 missile attack on an apartment block this week.

More bodies found in the remains of the shattered building. 10 people (inc a child) known to have died. Seven more people are still misssing.
8 more suffered injuries.
Wow! #Ukraine could manufacture its own German Panzer tanks.

Spiegel reports that Rheinmetall is negotiating with Kyiv over the construction of a €200m tank making factory.

#StandWithUkraine

spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unt…
5 years ago today #Russia broke numerous international laws, transporting chemical/nerve weapons to the UK to assassinate a former agent.

In essence the west once again did virtually nothing, encouraging Putin to continue his insane campaign:
#Skripal

I don't understand why the BBC + others are reporting #Ukraine's decision to evacuate vulnerable people from #Kupiansk.
#Russia is shelling like mad. Why wouldn't they?

Also, why don't media point out Kupiansk is #Kharkiv region, which Russia doesn't claim, so why the fighting?
What is known as a "take down" piece in the Daily Mail today. They've knitted together recent reports and historic stuff to lay in to the Tsarina - Putin's one-time bit on the side rhythmic gymnast Kabaeva!

Unannounced visit to #Kyiv by the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Let's play a game. Spot the undamaged building in #Mariinka, the town in #Donetsk oblast.

Oh trick question. There aren't any. This is what #Russia's world is all about. If they're not stopped they will "liberate" territories close to you soon.
State Media in #Russia released this video of a rare visit to the "frontline" by a Minister.

Defence Min Shoigu probably wants you to believe he's near #Bakhmut, but actually he's in South Donetsk, possibly near #Mariupol'

#RussiansGoHome
Residents of a village in #Zaporizhzhia oblast had a lucky escape after another of #Russia's S-300 missiles hit.

This is the scene in #Mariivka about 20km south-west of Zaporizhzhia city.

Houses and windows were damaged. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

#StopRussia
#Ukraine's former Prosecutor General has launched an astonishing attack on President Zelenskyy after being forced to retreat from #Bakhmut

Yuriy Lutsenko, with the Territorial Defence, says he and other troops are angry at the lack of drones and air defence.
Good to see #Ukraine's Resistance alive and well in occupied #Crimea.

Yellow ribbons are appearing all over the lands where #Russia's invaders currently persecute Ukrainians.

#CrimeaIsUkraine #КримцеУкраїна
Four police officers in #Kherson suffered shrapnel wounds when they came under fire from #Russia.

The officers from the investigative and operational team were hit in Antonivka. All of them were hospitalised.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
The Commander of NATO's Joint Forces in Europe says over 200,000 of #Russia's soldiers (including 1,800 officers) have been killed or wounded in #Putin's illegal war.
General Christopher Cavoli's figures likely equate to an estimate of around 70,000 deaths.

#RussiansGoHome
Britain will give twice as many tanks as it promised.

#Ukraine's ambassador to the UK gave the news in a radio interview today, praising Britain for its' huge support.

I'm posting this because it's funny but I cannot believe it. The photos look quite convincing but surely not?

The story on Ukrainian sites is that mighty #Russia has resorted to literally sticking anti-aircraft guns from boats to its light armoured personnel carriers
#StopRussia
#Russia used a new weapon against #Ukraine recently.

But the UPAB-1500B missiles need to be fired from aircraft at an extraordinary height.

This excellent site broke the news and speculates yesterday's shooting down of a RU plane may be linked.

#Ukraine's Prosecutor General has identified 91 Russians allegedly involved in #Bucha atrocities.

Investigators have already collected evidence against the suspected war criminals and are preparing to take cases to the International Tribunal.

#StopRussia
#Wagner chief Prigozhin is fighting for his political life, maybe his actual life. So he's making lots of statements to get in #Russia's media.

Today he warns #Ukraine can reclaim all the land lost, so "therefore we need to fight for Russia here and now."

This is a translation:
#Ukraine celebrates rising tennis star @marta_kostyuk reaching her first ever WTA singles final.

She beat Danielle Collins in straight sets in the ATX Open semi in Austin.

I'm delighted for Marta, who hails from #Bucha district + suffered an understandable loss of form in 2022.

The lead singer of a 1980s Russian group, and reportedly Putin's favourite singer appears to be the patient aboard a mystery air-ambulance flight

Nikolai Rastorguev is known for the group Lyube and was made an MP by Putin in 2010 and staged concerts in support of the war.

Earlier this evening, despite the EU flight ban, a "resuscitation plane" left #Frankfurt for #Moscow and returned almost immediately to #Nuremberg.

First health flight between #Russia and #Germany since @navalny upset the Fuhrer, sorry Tsar!

Hello again, you've found the start of the daily thread for the #RussiaUkraineWar for Sunday 5 March 2023.

It's Day 375 and if you missed anything from Saturday, here's the link for the previous thread
#SaveUkraine

First heartbreaking news from #Zaporizhzhia where three more bodies have been recovered from the site of the missile attack 3 days ago.

An 8-month-old baby girl and her parents are the latest victims of #Russia's terrorism targeting #Ukraine. ImageImage
#Ukraine's General Staff reports #Russia is hiding Air Defence systems in residential areas of the occupied part of #Kherson.

"In the city of Nova Kakhovka, Kherson region, the occupiers use the civilian population as a human shield" say army chiefs.

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."

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
