This is the start of the daily 🧵for Day 386 of #Russia's war of choice in #Ukraine.

For all Wednesday's news, including US pilots volunteering for Ukraine, assassination plot against an EU figure and an unexplained fire on occupied #Berdyansk, click⬇️

I'll start today with #BakhmutHolds.
No big changes to report. #Wagner troops have advanced right into the centre, but it's constantly changing as the cattle get slaughtered and retreat.

Some #Russia channels claim #Khromove on the west of #Bakhmut is captured but not confirmed.
Speaking of slaughter of Russians, the number of invading soldiers killed in the last 24 hours tops 1,000 again. A large number of #Russia's troops died in an attack at #Nevelske 20km from #Avdiivka

High numbers of tanks + artillery systems too, plus the aircraft I noted y'day.
Oooh, the British update today is genuinely interesting and newsworthy!

I hadn't mentioned #Vuhledar (RU: #Ugledar) for a couple of days and here's why. Plus, we know now what RAAM is.

#SlavaUkraini
Worth re-tweeting this from yesterday. Yet another #Wagner cemetery has come to light.

Hopefully the spread on social media, even in #Russia itself will show people how badly the 10-day war is going as we approach day 400.

Politico thinks the US has outlined two options for #Ukraine's spring offensive, with a move east through Donetsk and then south most likely.

But the site also claims #Ukraine has also lost "upwards of 100,000" troops killed.

More explosions in #Russia's border territory of #Belgorod last night.

The Governor claims two #Ukraine missiles were shot down in the early hours of this morning. Some residents say debris fell near a thermal power plant in the city.

#StopRussia
A total of 3 people were injured in #Kherson yesterday in #Russia's regular attacks.

The invaders are said to have carried out 88 attacks, firing 413 shells from heavy artillery and "Grads". #Kherson city was hit 5 times.

This was filmed in #Bilozerka early this morning:
There was a scare on the highway near #Kyiv this morning.

A fuel tanker erupted in flames while at a gas/petrol station in #Boryspil. The lorry was carrying 10,000 litres of fuel.

Firefighters managed to stop the blaze spreading to the building or underground tanks.
More guests arriving in #Ukraine.

Today Prime Minister of #Latvia Arturs Karins arrived at #Kyiv's main railway station.

#StandWithUkraine
#Russia continues to deny a new mass mobilisation, but MobilizationNews channel has now counted at least 40 regions where registration papers have been sent out.

The Kremlin says it's just to check details are up to date, but no-one believes it. Fear is growing.

Wow, in the city of #Rostov the FSB's Border Service building is well alight.

#Russia says there was an accident in a warehouse.
Hopefully arsonists beginning the revolution.
Or maybe just careless smokers again 😉

#RussiaOnFire

The fire at the FSB building in #Rostov-na-Don is so good, you want another angle right?

No problem. Enjoy!
#StopRussia
The Pentagon has just released the video of the moment its MQ-9 Reaper drone was downed over the Black Sea.

Two of #Russia's Su-27 fighter jets do indeed spray fuel on the UAV and then the second one appears to clip the Reaper.

The Kremlin denied its jets hit the drone
#Thailand says it has concluded an extradition agreement with #Russia.

Fighting crime is great yeah. Except I wonder if the Thai people have been told in the Russian constitution they won't extradite anyone. So Thailand is being used. Who's taking the Russian rubles in Bangkok?
Curioser and curioser. This is verbatim a statement from a state news agency in #Russia:

"Law enforcement agencies are checking reports of a possible appearance of an armed group of people in one of the districts of the #Oryol region.

Now the information is not confirmed."
UPDATE from #Rostov where the latest #RussiaOnFire story has occurred.

The Emergency Services are still trying to eliminate the fire at the FSB Border Service building. They claim the blaze was started by faulty electrical wiring.

#StopRussia
Hahaha
#Russia says the sudden agreement with #Thailand has nothing to do with 1000s of young Russians fleeing the country to stay in Thailand!

They claim it will enable them to bring Russian prisoners in Thailand "home"
How many new red notices coming?

#Russia claims #Ukraine has fired 13 shells at Occupied #Donetsk in the last hour.

40km east of the city, in the villlage of #Zugres, something pretty big fell in the street. But who fired it?
#RussiansGoHome #DonetskIsUkraine
Remarkable photograph from #Kherson.

#Russia is accused of hitting the courtyard of a medical facility with fire from drones.

Thankfully, medics and patients seem to have avoided injury.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
A rocket hit #Lysychansk in #Luhansk region today. Here's the aftermath.

The town has switched hands 5 times in 8 years.

#LuhanskIsUkraine
Another occupied town clearing up this evening is #Horlivka (RU: #Gorlovka), just north of #Donetsk in the occupied zone.

#SaveUkraine #RussiansGoHome
#RussiaOnFire

A fire broke out this evening at a steel structure plant in the Leningrad region.

Emergency crews went to the village of #Fedorovskaya, about 300km east of St.Petersburg, saying there was a threat of gas canisters exploding.
In #Kyiv today a tribute to those massacred in #Mariupol

It's exactly one year since one of #Russia's worst war crimes when they deliberately bombed the city's theatre which was being used as a bomb shelter, and which had the word "deti" (children) written outside.

Day 1247
It's never ending. At least it feels like it after another sleepless night and "peace talks" that lasted 40 minutes and Russia still refusing Trump's demand for a ceasefire, which Ukraine agreed to 135 days ago.

All the news, all the time, it's the daily Ukraine🧵
A quick reminder if you appreciate my work (and lack of sleep) you can donate coffee via the link in my bio🙏

But this is the link you probably really want! To check back on all yesterday's news, especially when Russia was attacked late at night.

So last night ended with a lot of damage in southern Ukraine & southern Russia

Part of the damage in the Sochi/Adler are of Krasnodar region seems to have been self-inflicted.

Here's a new video of what seems to be Russian air defence missing but landing harmlessly this time.

You've found the start of another daily thread. I've not missed one day since Russia's full invasion, bringing all the Ukraine news in one handy thread every single day.

It's Day 1246, let's begin.
A late finish last night for me (yeah, not unusual), so a later start.

But not due to a massive Russian attack, but because of the political situation & public backlash

Another bumper thread, big Ukraine street protests for the 1st time in years in here
The biggest thing today will hopefully be the resumption of talks between Ukraine and Russia.

The meeting will again take place in Istanbul, starting at 7pm UKR time, 5PM BST, noon EST.
Venue is the Çırağan Palace - can't wait to hear reporters butcher that name😂 [Cheer-raan] Image

Day 1245
One thousand, two hundred + forty-five days of battling to survive against what was said to be the world's 2nd greatest army.

Ukraine's resistance has been heroic but still a lot of work to do.

I'm starting Tuesday's thread before sleep as the air attack just ended.
Monday's thread was another 50-post marathon

A lot of problems for Russia, with drones, planes, trains and the elements. But another major Ukraine city was hit in the early hours of this morning.
All yesterday's news is here, click and scroll to catch-up
Straight to events in Odesa then.
At around 2am Russian drones descended on the city.

There seem to be 3 sites of damage - though at least one may be debris damage.

Mayor Hennadiy Trukhanov, a great self publicist, released a video after visiting the site of the worst damage.

Day 1243 of Russia's gross violation of the peaceful world order. Breaking UN Rules and the Geneva Conventions. Doing anything to anyone in a bid to eliminate Ukraine and all its people who won't bow down to the Führer of the 21st century.

Here's yet another daily thread.
Well, for a country at war, it's been a quiet night and day so far in Ukraine.

Mind you, not so in Russia, and the previous 24 hours turned out a little crazy, with a 50-page thread to get your teeth into if you were busy on Saturday:

No missiles were fired at Ukraine overnight, and "only" 57 attack drones.

As Russia fired mostly at soft targets in front line regions, the air defence stats don't look good.

Just 18 UAVs were shot down and 7 stopped by EW, which is 44% Image

I finally made it, to start Saturday's daily thread covering all things about Russia's aggression, not only in Ukraine, but increasingly on all of its enemies.

It's Day 1242, which began after midnight with a mass of objects flying both both sides of the border.
Friday's was another huge thread, not surprising as it encompassed 24 hours from start to end.

Catching up? Click, scroll down to where you left off.
Can't remember where you got up to? Try liking every post then when you scroll back you see where♥️end
1/2
A massive 35 missiles were fired by Russia, mostly this morning, along with 344 suicide drones.

Ukraine shot down:
7/12 ballistic missiles
7/8 Iskander-K cruise
9/15 Kh-101 cruise

But more interesting is that Ukraine says all the other 7 cruise missiles were disabled by EW Image

Thanks for finding me again!
It's Daily Thread time, Day 1241 of the full invasion of a sovereign nation by a brutal, sadistic, rogue terrorist state.

If we are civilised and want to protect our values, way of life and our children, we have to do everything to stop Russia.
I'm starting the thread before heading off for sleep.

Very healthy numbers of viewers/likes yesterday on both X and BSky.

Some very important articles and videos to read and watch in the thread, take time to scroll through if you missed them on Thursday
Russia's nightly attack was again fairly low key - and no Kyiv did not get attacked despite being "Kellogg-less"

Dnipro, Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia regions were all subject to drone attacks.

In Dnipro at least 3 explosions in Pavlohrad but no news of damage has been revealed.
