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.
#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.
Anyone heard from @amnesty?
Promising news from the United States...

Multiple sources in the US confirm two pilots from #Ukraine are in the country and receiving flight training in Arizona. It's reported more of their colleagues may arrive soon.

#StandWithUkraine

nbcnews.com/investigations…
#Russia's cattle fodder being made to fight not only with outdated tactics, but also 150-year-old weapons (kind of).

Here's the daily update from the #UK

#RussiansGoHome
Another huge number of dead Russian soldiers in the last 24 hours. I believe that #Kreminna may be the new hotspot for sacrifices to the Tsar. The same tactics are being employed there and #Ukraine repelled a lot of attacks.

Again healthy number of artillery systems ruined.
Delivery for #Ukraine

A pleasant sight on a Sunday morning at the port of Gdynia in #Poland. I don't know when this was filmed, but hopefully the gear is in, or very near to, Ukraine already.

#SlavaUkraini
#Russia's state news agency reports they've "cleaned up" the Stupki railway station in the north of #Bakhmut

This is a district they claimed to have taken total control of a week ago

There will be a lot more disinfo on both sides until #Ukraine leaves or heavy artillery arrives
Derek, you are a gent. Thank you for your continued support. He paid for a couple of coffees and a sandwich via the link in my bio.
💙💛
In occupied #Kherson it looks like the Russians have a problem!

Locals report explosions were heard.
#StopRussia #KhersonIsUkraine
#Ukraine claims it has hit a Russian artillery gun, MLRS and an ammunition store, positioned on the Kinburn spit.

It's the long finger of land south of #Mykolaiv which #Ukraine failed to take back with previous landings.
A woman and two children have been killed in #Kherson region.

Head of #Ukraine's President's Office, @AndriyYermak says a mortar attack by #Russia on the village of Poniativka continued the terrorism on the civilian population.
#RussiaOnFire #1

In #Irkutsk a 16-storey building under construction caught fire in the middle of the night.

Strange how many of these new constructions started to self-combust when sanctions started to kick-in!

There was a threat of collapse, which hindered firefighters.
#RussiaOnFire #2

This one is in the city of #Omsk at a restaurant and hotel complex.

The blaze raged through 1,200 square metres at one point. There was no one in the building when it also spontaneously combusted.
This piece of theatre is doing the rounds on Russian social media alleging #Ukraine using chemical weapons.

There is so much wrong with this video and the claims, it's a million miles away from being evidence.
As always, we fear what #Russia alleges, it is doing itself.
In Occupied #Donetsk, there's been an explosion.

The blast can be heard relatively close to the person filming this in the Petrovskyi district of the city.

#StandWithUkraine #DonetskIsUkraine
#Russia sent thugs and agitators to foment trouble in #Ukraine. While it failed to work in Dnipro and Kharkiv, it did have the desired effect in #Donetsk.

Remember the innocent heroes and victims.

Thanks Debs for the gift of a coffee and your continuing support.
It's greatly appreciated 💙💛
Photos from the house in #Kherson region where #Russia brought more death and misery.

Drone attack incoming for #Ukraine.

Suspected Iran-made attack UAVs launched in #Bryansk and heading into #Chernihiv and possibly #Kyiv oblasts. Many eastern/central regions under air raid warning.
Ooh, another chapter for #RussiaOnFire

This time we're in #Moscow region.
There seems to have been an explosion at a coke and gas plant in Vidnoe, just outside the Moscow outer ring road (MKAD)
Puts it nicely in perspective!

And #Ukraine still holds plenty of the higher ground, including south of #Bakhmut in #Klishchivka where they can continue to pick off the approaching cattle.

By the way, yesterday I wrote a note about @marta_kostyuk reaching the final of a WTA tour event for the first time. The Ukrainian is in action right now, against the Russian player Varvara Gracheva, in the Championship match in Austin, TX
#Russia's state news agency shows a missile under the wing of a MiG-31 jet.

On the R-37M long range missile are written the words "For #Bryansk" (also "for Donbas), presumably they're miffed Russian nationals waltzed across the border and caused a bit of trouble.
#StopRussia
Another better video of the #RussiaOnFire incident this evening just outside #Moscow.

Thank you Maggie H, for your words and your coffee donation💙💛
Already 01:30 in the morning here in Dubai and trying to stay awake until the end of that tennis match, while ensuring the reported drone attack doesn't materialise.
And she's done it! @marta_kostyuk beats Russia's Varvara Gracheva in the final of the ATX Open in Austin, to lift the first title of her career.

Kostyuk, from near Bucha, won 6-3, 7-5 and refused to shake her opponent's hand at the end of the match.
Explosions reported just now in #Dnipro.

Residents say they was more than one blast just moments before the air raid warning was sounded.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Wow. WTA may not be happy, but @marta_kostyuk goes for it in her victory speech:
"Slava Ukraini. I want to dedicate this win to all the guys fighting and dying in #Ukraine right now."

Still no confirmation yet of the explosions reported by locals in #Dnipro.

The air raid alert has now spread to much of the north of #Ukraine and about half the country in total.
Attack drones were launched from #Russia a couple of hours ago.

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:

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
