This is the daily thread (number 382) for Sunday 12 March 2023, covering #Russia's illegal war

All the relevant news from #Ukraine, reliable reporting, verified where possible and updated around the clock.

Missed yesterday? No problem, click and scroll:

A small part of Antarctica has been de-Russified.

#Ukraine scientists at the Vernadsky Academy changed spellings on the signposts for cities such as #Odesa and #Kropyvnytskyi, while they added symbolic places such as #Mariupol, #Kherson and #Bucha.

#SlavaUkraini
Near #Kreminna towards the north of the active frontline in this war, there is an admission from #Ukraine's Command that #Russia has gained a little ground.

They report enemy units moving forward in the forest with the aid of armoured vehicles.
#StopRussia
Meanwhile in #Donetsk the Occupiers reveal a new addition to the war fight.

#Russia seems overly proud of this "armoured train"

I have every confidence #Ukraine knows exactly the direction it's travelling in at all times, and it cannot move sideways to escape missiles.
Ths scene is being repeated quite often in #Russia now

Wives from #Moscow region now complaining “our mobilised are thrown like meat to storm fortified areas; 5 people against 100 well-armed”

They also say men are being trained in artillery but then thrown into assault infantry
#Ukraine troops have been valiantly holding out in #Mariinka , west of #Donetsk.

"This is how it looks in Mar'inka" says the man with the camera.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Bakhmut
Not only fighting is risky - if anything it's even more dangerous trying to rescue and evacuate the wounded.

This extraordinary video from Ukraina LIFE shows the difficulties and realities of life (and death) on the front lines.
Smoke seeps across the occupied city of #Donetsk this morning. Local officials say air defences worked, but cannot explain the reports of loud explosions and smoke.

#StandWithUkraine
This resident in the Kalinisky district of #Donetsk says there were two rockets a couple of minutes ago.

#StopRussia
Very nearly a record number of #Russia's invaders have been eliminated in the last 24 hours*

1,090 more sacrifices to Tsar Putin to gain 15 metres of #Ukraine.

Equipment losses lower today though.

*Kyic estimate
This is reportedly the only road for #Ukraine to get into and out of #Bakhmut'

I cannot verify the location, the date, or whether the situation has changed after attempted counter attacks by ZSU.
But it looks recent and genuine.

#StopRussia
Unverified post from front line south of Bakhmut.

"Unpleasant events east of #Avdiivka. Russians have gained a foothold in Krasnohorivka and are trying to take control of Kamianka.
They cannot take Avdiivka head on so they'll go to Stepovoy and Orlivka in order to surround us."
On the border between #Ukraine and #Belarus, it's "Poster Wars!"

Anyone entering Belarus sees a giant billboard saying "Belarus Remembers" and images of World War 2

Ukraine goes for "We will help Ukraine find real occupiers" and the U.S. flag!
On occupied #Crimea the Occupiers are counting on huge losses continuing for a long, long time.

Newly mobilised here are at least avoiding immediate death as they're being forced to build a new military hospital in #Sevastopol, with more than 20 buildings on the complex.
The exiled Mayor of #Melitopol has told #Ukraine TV's "news marathon" that #Russia started shelling the city it occupies

After reports of 10 explosions yesterday, Ivan Fedorov said Russia's implementing the "Donetsk scenario" - firing at residential quarters then blaming Ukraine
Pro-#Ukraine Resistance group Atesh has sabotaged a main railway line between #Kherson and #Zaporizhzhia.

They say the attack happened yesterday between the villages of Radensk and Abrikosivka. It will disrupt the supply of troops and equipment to ZP.

#StopRussia
Oleksandr Matsiyevsk, the unarmed soldier murdered by #Russia's troops, has been posthumously awarded the title Hero of Ukraine🇺🇦

President Zelenskyy said he was "A man who will be remembered forever. For his courage and for his "Slava Ukraini."

Scandal in #Ukraine after a junior lieutenant was caught on film assaulting a conscript soldier.

An investigation's underway after Commander of the 2nd platoon of the guard company, Viktor Vitusevych, kicked the conscript in the village of Guiva, #Zhytomyr region.
While Olympics bosses continue to pretend "sport and politics don't mix", tell that to the pregnant wife of Oleksiy Khanilevych, another sportsmen killed by #Russia

The 24yo was a basketball star with Kremin (Kremenchuk) in the Higher League. He was fatally wounded near Kreminna
Despite being "close to death", ex-Georgia President tells citizens to "be ready to mobilise at short notice, because of the vengeful mood of the oligarchs' regime."

The pro-Russie govt still refuses to let #Saakashvili leave #Georgia for treatment

news.sky.com/story/pro-west…
Russia's Commissioner for Children's says an agreement's been reached with Kurds, on the "return of another 200 Russian children from Syria in the near future"

What #Russia kids in Syria? Sounds like more kidnappings to me.🇷🇺 is so de-populated forced repatriation is rife.
Thomas I, thank you for your donation to help me with this work 💙💛

My morning coffee will be from you!
16 people have been injured in occupied #Luhansk region.

#Russia claims #HIMARS hit the town of #Perevalsk, about 25 miles/40km south-west of Luhansk.

The Occupiers cannot explain why all previous #Ukraine HIMARS attacks have been during the curfew and hit military targets.
Two massive explosions ring out across #Mariupol'

The noise could be heard across the city. A few minutes before air defence missiles looked to have been fired from the occupied city.

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:

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

Good morning world, on Day 1076 of #Russia's genocidal war on #Ukraine

It's now 14 days since Trump's inauguration & no peace deal, but his "peace envoy" Kellogg is expected to visit both aggressor and defender soon.

Here's Monday's daily thread. All you need to be in the know
Daily🧵views were slightly up over the weekend, which is heartening as it's a critical time.

#Ukraine is starting to hurt #Russia logistically, while Putin responds by killing civilians, confident he'll soon get a Trump-pass.

Read Sunday's news here:
While #Ukraine hurt #Russia infrastructure during the night (covered at the end of last night's thread), the terrorist state still has success with its own drone attacks.

More than 11% got through 🇺🇦defences overnight, with 38 of 71 UAVs being stopped and 25 likely decoys. Image

Sunday 19 January is Day 1061 of #Russia's all-out war in #Ukraine. We are also just 2 weeks away from the 4,000th day since #Moscow's initial invasion with the start of its illegal takeover of #Crimea

Welcome to another daily thread with all the news you need in one place 💙💛
Thankfully a quieter start to Sunday than yesterday, which means I get a later start today.

Saturday was all about #Russia's double ballistic attack which brought death to 2 #Ukraine cities.
Catch up on that and all yesterday's stories here⬇️

#Russia's overnight attack was less intense, but still, two attack drones slipped through the net according to #Ukraine's air defence figures.

43 of 61 UAVs were destroyed, with 15 decoy/simulation drones posing no threat and one still flying this morning. Image

Hello on Day 1054 of #Russia's terrorist campaign in #Ukraine.

I've been working for a while today, tidying up loose ends, but a late start to the daily thread - the only feed you need for all the important news and analysis.

So a lot to catch up on, let's go again!
Normally I pin the first post of the thread on my profile page, but for another 24 hours the pinned item is about the auction for a truly unique item - please check it out

So, it's even more important I post a link back to yesterday's thread. Here we are
#Ukraine's air defence team worked very efficiently last night and this morning.

#Russia launched 94 drones from four directions.
60 were shot down and 34 more 'simulators' or others were also stopped.

Some houses in #Kharkiv #Sumy and #Poltava regions were damaged by debris. Image
