Wednesday is Day 378 of #Russia's horrific and sadistic war on its peaceful neighbour.

As always, the thread is updated throughout the day.
If you missed any #Ukraine/war news yesterday, you can catch up with a click and scroll here⬇️

A dip today in the reported deaths of #Russia's frontline cattle, as well as equipment numbers.

Artillery systems hit is slightly above the daily mean for the whole war.

Figures are #Ukraine estimates for the last 24 hours.
#RussiansGoHome
Iran proven to be supplying #Russia with loads of ammunition as well as killer drones.

Well done to @haynesdeborah and the Sky News team for this report:

news.sky.com/story/irans-al…
Not the most riveting update from London today.

But it does highlight the continuing feud between Prigozhin and Shoigu, which is boiling up nicely and will end up with one, maybe both, careers in ruin.
#StandWithUkraine
Tricky day for me to update - leaving Dubai and in the airport now. So sorry for delays, but there's not too much happening in #Ukraine right now

UN Gen Sec @antonioguterres has arrived in #Kyiv for talks about renewing the grain deal which ends soon, #Russia wants a better deal
One thing which does continue day-in, day-out in #Ukraine is de-mining

Telegram channel kyiv_polit reports that after 10 months of work, they've only made safe 2% of the landmines and other explosives left by #Russia.

Even today locals in the Buchansky district found new bombs.
International Women's Day is being celebrated in #Russia where it's a national holiday.

It's becoming less important in #Ukraine.
I particularly like these posters "I don't want flowers, I want my Ukraine."
#RussiansGoHome
Yesterday was the first day since 24 February 2022 when not a single citizen was injured or killed in #Donetsk, according to the local head of #Ukraine's administration.
In case you were wondering, #BakhmutHolds.

Bad news from #Avdiivka though where photos are being posted of the latest damage from shelling.

#DonetskIsUkraine #RussiansGoHome
#Russia has arrested the ex-mayor of #Belgorod (which borders #Ukraine).

Anton Ivanov is accused of taking bribes.
The real question is who did he fall out with and why because if they arrest officials for taking bribes there will be no mayors, no officials, no Kremlin!
#Germany's Defence Ministry says 18 German + 3 Portuguese "Leopard 2" tanks, along with brigades, will be sent to #Ukraine before the end of month.

#StopRussia
A decent read here showing one aspect of how things have changed for both #Ukraine and #Russia, especially since the hit on #Tuapse just over a week ago.

navalnews.com/naval-news/202…
Slower than it's F1 tyres, but finally Germany's @continentaltire has said it will leave #Russia.
Finally back home to quickly update on what's happened while I was airborne, and probably the first thing to report is happening now in #Georgia.

Protesters demands for legislation to be repealed within an hour were not met, so they're reportedly storming parliament in Tblisi.
Water cannons, tear gas and now rubber bullets reportedly fired in Tblisi to stop the Georgia protesters.

Huge amounts of gas in the centre, with some even leaking into the metro station and those trying to escape are still spluttering and struggling to breathe.
#GeorgiaProtests
No surprise to hear Donald Trump admit "in the worst case, I could agree that they (#Russia) seized something", i.e. let them keep illegally captured lands and be rewarded for terrorism, adding "in #Ukraine there are certain areas that are Russian-speaking."
#Ukraine's Intelligence service releases this video of its Special Forces taking out a Russian "flamethrower" while it was firing at Ukraine.

#Russia's "Solntsepek" was hit with an attack drone, but the date and location are not provided.

#StopRussia
A Russian rapper who went to the frontline in #Donetsk may have been killed.

"Ptakha" (real name David Nuriev) went to give a concert for troops. When they came under fire from #Ukraine forces, this happened.
His phone is now switched off with no communication since.
A couple of people sent me this video earlier and I did laugh out loud.

#Ukraine soldiers being surrounded on the frontline is not usually a laughing matter...
The #Ukraine soldier murdered in cold blood, has been named. Oleksandr Matsievsky was a member of the 163rd battalion of Chernihiv region

His mum knew of his death, but not the circumstance
His body was returned 3 weeks ago. Oleksandr's last words to her were "I won't surrender"
#Switzerland once again hampers the Allies' effort to arm #Ukraine.

Earlier the lower House of the Swiss Parliament rejected a proposal to ease the ban on the re-export of ammunition.

This is the start of THE daily thread covering all things Ukraine.

Reliable, accurate information for 1124 days as Russia and its willing accomplices (Iran, North Korea and MAGA-land) try to destroy Ukraine, its culture and its democracy to make it a vassal state.

Here's the🧵
Yesterday started with shocking lies and propaganda from the White House and ended with another massive attack by Russia, knowing tRUmp and co don't mind at all.

Find all the details by clicking and scrolling here⬇️

Worryingly, Russia achieved a 17% hit rate from its overnight drone attack with 25 of 147 getting through Ukraine's air defence.

97 attack UAVs were taken down and 25 more were decoys.

Kyiv came under fire most during the night.

The war Russia inflicted on Ukraine enters Day 1120

Ukraine, a country which never invaded another, never killed anyone abroad; a fully democratic nation where only one President has ever won a second term in office.

Here's THE daily thread for Wednesday, with all the news.
Yesterday was all about the ritual humiliation of tRUmp, dished out by Putin, and the US president's brain being too rusty to realise.

I also indulged in a long sub-thread on my fears about what's happening in Washington DC.
Catch up here:

It's official. tRUmp's supposed skill at making a deal is absolutely RANK

Russia
Afghanistan
NK (North Korea)

#TraitorTrump promised a deal with his mate in NK, got nothing.
He handed the Taliban everything, got nothing.
Now, ending the war in 24 hours turned into humiliationImage

Tuesday 18 March is Day 1119 of the war in Europe

Putin, the aggressor, the war criminal, presiding over countless heinous crimes, executions, kidnapping of children, is about to be given a pass by Donald J Trump.
The despot and the wannabe talk today.

This is THE daily thread
Yesterday saw an explosive end to a day which started with mystery surrounding a Ukraine hit in Russia, and moved through the thread with some harrowing and shocking tales and scenes from Kherson.

Catch up here! #SlavaUkraïni

During the night 7% of Russia's drones defeated air defence, according to Ukraine's figures.

Kyiv says there were 64 simulator drones which fell harmlessly - I think is a record, but cannot be sure.

Another 63 were shot down, with 10 of 137 attack UAVs reaching targets. Image

Welcome to my daily thread, covering all things #Ukraine every single day since even before the first day of Russia's full invasion.

This is Day 1110 of Putin's long promised land grab - he's also pledged to reunite the rest of the USSR.

More atrocities overnight, let's begin:
For those loving people who urge me to get more sleep, you will be pleased to know there was no alarm this morning; I am refreshed and ready to tackle JD TRussia again.

A busy Friday ended with news of the awful attack in free Donetsk, catch up here:

1/2
 Coming up news of a significant new oil strike in Russia. While Ukraine sticks to military targets, Putin's horde targets civilians.

#Dobropillya is a small place, but this heinous attack may go down as one of the worst of the war.

Today sees the completion of 3 years of full scale war unleashed by #Russia on #Ukraine.

As signs point to an end to this war relatively soon, the ONLY question which should be asked is: are you happy to reward war-criminal terrorists with land?

Here's THE daily thread:
It's Day 1096 of #Russia 's war.

If you missed anything yesterday, catch up on Saturday's news here:

1/2
 The #UK is in full focus today.
As @Keir_Starmer prepares to fly to Washington, new sanctions will be unveiled tomorrow.

Foreign Sec @DavidLammy says it will be "the largest package of sanctions against #Russia since the early days of the war eroding its military machine."

Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.

Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.

On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:

100% record in air defence overnight, according to #Ukraine.

Of 83 attack drones fired by #Russia, 61 were shot down by #Ukraine with the other 22 decoys.

I did report a fire in #Sumy last night, but that and damage in #Kharkiv #Poltava + #Kirovohrad were from falling debris. Image
