Hello and welcome to Friday's thread on what is Day 387 of #Russia's insane and injust war on #Ukraine.

I've done a news thread every single day since Russian troops and warplanes crossed the border.

To catch up on Thursday, click and scroll here:

While #Russia is stalling over agreeing to a 120 day extension of the grain deal, the Terrorist State is secretly stealing Ukrainian grain and exporting it from #Crimea according to the RIAMelitopol channel.

They publish these photos they claim show Occupiers loading the grain.
The figures for #Russia's daily losses again show a very big number of artillery systems destroyed by #Ukraine, plus another helicopter downed.

RU soldiers killed is down almost 300 on yesterday but still a very, very high number.
#RussiansGoHome
Today's Intel update from Britain seems to point to good news for #Ukraine.

However, I think it's important to point out the reality of the situation in both #Bakhmut and #Avdiivka, which is critical, heavy losses on both sides despite limited ammo for both #Russia and Ukraine.
On a similar point, last night #Ukraine confirmed that it had demoted a Commander who talked about horrific losses.

"Kupol" said of 500 men, 100 died and the rest were wounded.

The Army said his numbers were exaggerated and he wasn't authorised to speak to the media.
#Belgium has announced new support for #Ukraine in the form of hundreds of military trucks.

The first batch of 240 Volvo Cargo, Volvo Shelter, Volvo Fassi and Volvo Manumat trucks will be delivered next week.

#StandWithUkraine
A court in #Zhytomyr has decreed that this officer should spend two months under detention.

#Ukraine

I don't post too many videos of this type, but a good example here of just how close the enemy lines are, especially across flat, open land.

Look at the way #Ukraine's troops are dug in as they fire rockets at #Russia's infantry just a couple of hundred metres away.

#StopRussia
A double bonus from #Slovakia today.

The Cabinet of Ministers approved plans to give MiG-29 fighters to #Ukraine. Initially 13 jets will be handed over

Slovakia is also donating the "Kub" air defence system, deisgned to protect tank division and ground forces

#StandWithUkraine
The #USA was not deterred by losing a Reaper drone to #Russia.

Just 2 days after the UAV was damaged by Russian jets and crash landed in the Black Sea, another unmanned vehicle was tracked in the same area today.

#StandWithUkraine
More allegations of grain from #Ukraine being illegally exported by #Russia.

This is occupied #Zaporizhzhia where new equipment is lined up alongside railway warehouses which are now said to be stuffed with Ukraine grain.

#Ukraine's Intelligence has got involved in a bitter row between sanctioned oligarch Dmytro Firtash, his company and #Ukraine's Naftogaz.

The SBU raided offices today. The RGK group claims Naftogaz tried to change personnel in board meetings in what amounted to a raider takeover
#Russia has hit a kindergarten in #Kherson region.

Private houses were also damaged in the shelling of #Bilozerka according to the regional council.

There were no casualties.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
The so-called leader of occupied #Donetsk has secretly purchased a house in #Brazil.

Immediately after #Kherson was liberated, #Russia's installed head of the illegal "republic" seems to have made plans for his own exit, with a 550 sq metre property in the south of the country.
The curfew in #Kyiv is being reduced next weekend, to coincide with the changing of the clocks.

It will then only be illegal to be on the streets between 00:00 and 05:00

#StandWithUkraine
The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant against Vladimir Putin.

The court says Putin "is allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation... and unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of #Ukraine."
The I.C.C. has also issued a warrant for the arrest for Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova. She is #Russia's commissioner for children’s rights.

She boasted on video she had personally taken a boy from #Ukraine.
Be fun if President Xi announced he was cancelling his trip to #Russia as he couldn't meet with someone on the War Crimes wanted list!

#RussiaIsATerroristState
That other barbaric dictator, Lukashenko, has ensured pesky journalists will be jailed for a decade.

#Belarus

Ex President of #Russia, Medvedev threatened US Senator Lindsey Graham with an air accident.

Graham had said Reagan would've shot down Russian planes threatening US aircraft.

Sleepy Dima's full post on Telegram is here along with English Google translation:
The ICC's Chief Prosecutor confirms "this is the first concrete step" and investigations (of war crimes) are continuing against #Putin and #Russia.

I have another point to add about the arrest warrant for #Putin.

Yesterday the UN's investigator said there was not enough evidence yet of genocide of #Ukraine's people.

Deporting children is one of the 5 key evidential facts for proving genocide.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
More heavy damage in the #Donetsk town of #Avdiivka, where #Ukraine is desperately trying to fend off the waves of invaders.

One civilian was injured as #Russia pounded the town with 3 aerial missiles at the city, shelled with grads and then attacked with tank fire.
#StopRussia
In occupied #Donetsk shells landed in the Petrovskyi district of the city. No reports of injuries.

#DonetskIsUkraine
#Ukraine has been under attack from drones.
It's likely more Iran-made Shahids have been launched by #Russia.

There have been confirmed explosions in #Dnipropetrovsk region, but air defence was also working.
#Dnipropetrovsk air defence claims it has shot down 3 drones, while #Kyiv and #Rivne regions also hit enemy UAVs.

The air raid warning has now ended for Dnipro.

Day 388 of the war. The day after the International Criminal Court indicted Putin with a war crime.

Welcome to Saturday's thread with all the news concerning #Ukraine's defence against #Russia's aggression & invasion.

Updated throughout the day so come back and check regularly!
Well Friday was an historic day as the current President of a permanent member of the UN Security Council was charged with a war crime. It will be the first of many.

To read more about that & all yesterday's news about #Russia's was on #Ukraine, click⬇️

#Russia attacked again last night, sending 16 attack drones to #Ukraine.

Air defence in Ukraine destroyed 11 of the Iranian made Shahid UAVs, which were launched simultaneously from the Sea of Azov and Bryansk.

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.

It's Wednesday, Day 385 of the war, #Ukraine's existential fight for its' existence.

Here's another daily thread documenting #Russia's ongoing invasion, war crimes and all the news, all the time, updated throughout the day.

If you can support my work, see the link in my bio💙💛
There was a lot of important news on Tuesday.
More awful shelling and missiles fired at #Ukraine citizens. An American drone downed by #Russia's air force, a car bomb attack in occupied #Melitopol and a new #Wagner cemetery.

Missed it? Click here:

Firstly reports of explosions in #Sloviansk - probably we will get more details in the morning.

But, while #Bakhmut holds, #Russia is creeping closer to Sloviansk and #Kramatorsk. Confirmed that the invaders have taken the village of #Zaliznyanske, north-west of Bakhmut.

If you want to review anything from Monday, it's all here⬇️
#Russia has now lost over 160,000 soldiers invading #Ukraine according to Kyiv's fugures.

10 tanks, 16 artillery systems (+2 MLRS) and 740 more deaths for Russia are the standout figures in the last 24 hours.

#StandWithUkraine

It's a wet and windy start to the week where I am, hope it's better where you are.
In #Kyiv + #Bakhmut it's around freezing now (9am) but some very mild days and nights mean a lot of mud on the frontlines later in the week in #Ukraine

It's Day 383 of #Russia's war, here's the 🧵
I know a lot of people miss things at the weekend.
But you can get a quick catch up of all that happened in #Ukraine yesterday by taking a scroll through the previous thread, and I would urge you to do so, some important news and events in there:

One thing from yesterday I do want to flag up is this story and what will hopefully become a concerted effort to ban athletes from #Russia from the Olympic Games.

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.
