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 1487 of Russia's 3-day Special Military Operation.
I wonder if Trump's slavish following of Putin will mean his own S.M.O. reaches 4 years?

But I am here to bring all the Ukraine news, as I have done EVERY SINGLE DAY since even before the full invasion. KoFi always welcome!
You may know I am in the middle of a tough 10-days of tennis comms, school commitments and parenting duties.

I read every comment, try to reply to all serious ones and credit all sponsors, but I am behind right now as I prioritise the news stories/🧵

I will catch up!💙💛
Thankfully, it's been a reasonably quiet news week, but a lot of Russians are dying at the front - with almost no noticeable land gains.

And Ukraine's concerted attacks on air defence is now reaping rewards. More targets struck overnight, catch up here:

Finally, I am here to start the Ukraine daily thread for Sunday 15 March. My body has recovered from self-inflicted sleep deprivation.

It's Day 1481 of the full Russian invasion.
All the important news, here in one place, every day.
Coming up, news of more Ukraine strikes, and how Zelenskyy delicately tries to say Trump is lying.

First though the link back to the start of yesterday's thread, which started with horrific scenes but again saw many good tactical strikes by Ukraine:

It's Oscars Day and #TeamTim is cheering for Pasha!

When the awards are handed out in LA tonight, we are hoping 'Mr Nobody' takes the documentary prize.

Apologies if this is geo-restricted by the BBC but this is a nice report I wanted to share:

It's Day 1451 of the attempt to wipe Ukraine off the map/

Russian athletes compete at the #WinterOlympics while a Ukrainian athlete is in court right now trying to overturn his ban.

This is THE daily thread. Facts not fabrication. Proof not propaganda. Every single day.
Here's the link for the start of yesterday's thread, for those playing catch-up.

A day dominated by the IOC's own goal, but more, regular attacks by Russia day and night.

Another tragedy/massacre in Ukraine, with at least four civilians killed in another Russian airstrike.

It happened in Kramatorsk in free Donetsk.
Three of those killed were under 21 years of age, the other victim was in his 60s.

The war in Europe continues. This is Day 1445 of Russia's attempt to erase Ukraine from the map & destroy its language and culture.

The genocide continues as I type, with a massive missile attack underway.

For all the news as it happens, keep checking back. This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday started with a supposed assassination attempt on another very senior Russian soldier.

A load of other great stories too, including the start of the overnight attack on Ukraine's remaining energy facilities. Catch up on what you missed here:

Having seen around 200 attack drones flying at the height of Russia's attack tonight, there are now around half that.

Day 1444 of Russia's merciless war has begun with the invaders losing another Lieutenant General - has Ukraine's special services struck again?

Detail on all the stories, all day, every day in my daily thread. Let's Go!
Thursday's thread included the release of a relatively small number of POWs - but finally some Azov fighters were freed.

And double delight for Ukraine tennis fans, to offset a little of the pain of more Russian attacks.
If you missed anything, click⬇️

So, Russia's reporting (which doesn't necessarily make it true) that one of the most senior Generals has been shot.

Lt Gen Vladimir Alekseev is said to be alive and in hospital after the attack in Moscow.

What makes me a little suspicious is there are no photos from the scene. Image

It's Monday, the second day of the 2nd month.
Day 1440 of Russia's illegal full invasion of its sovereign neighbour.

As we approach another round of "peace talks", Russia seems to be preparing by committing an ever growing number of sickening war crimes.

This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday was one of those days when I was repeatedly sickened by the actions of the monsters from Moscow.

The "energy truce" broken by attacking a bus of civilian miners heading to work. A medical building inc. a maternity unit hit, and more
Review here
Monday is a day of mourning in Dnipropetrovsk region following the deliberate targeting of a bus in the small town of Ternivka, near Pavlohrad.

16 people were killed. Another 14 are in hospital, seven of whom are in a serious condition.
