Sunday 19 March, Day 389 of #Russia's war of choice.

Here's yet another daily thread for your delectation!

If you missed something yesterday, here's the link forall of Saturday's news relevant to #Ukraine.

1/2
Bunker Boy emerged from the Kremlin yesterday, turning up in #Crimea, which he likes to do to celebrate anniversaries of the capture.

Putin also survived a trip to occupied #Mariupol', where he allegedly met with locals, but on footage I saw it was all officials.
2/2
What I find interesting is how the Kremlin tried to make out #Putin had driven to #Crimea, and again today they're at pains to show footage of him "driving around #Mariupol."

I believe this shows there's serious concern in Moscow about his health, so he must prove he's fit.
While Putin scuttles around in darkness, no sign of him meeting real troops on the frontline. Maybe some were lined up but they all died before he could present them with another meaningless medal.

710 fresh bodies in the meat grinder today + tons of equipment destroyed.
In #Mariupol and all the other temporarily occupied territories (TOT), there is a severe shortage of skills, especially medics.

Even with fewer hospitals, #Russia is now trying to tempt, bribe or force 125 doctors and 125 more nurses to head to #Ukraine.

Some confusion about the grain deal extension I reported yesterday, which allows #Ukraine export from some southern ports.

Kyiv said the deal is for 120 days, but last night #Russia said it was for only 60 days.
The UN statement avoids the issue:

un.org/sg/en/content/…
Back to Putin in the occupied territories. Many, especially in #Ukraine are convinced the wanted suspected war criminal has many "body doubles"

24tv is sure it was actually another "twin" in Crimea, pointing to him using his right hand.

#BakhmutHolds, but #Ukraine's General Staff reports the situation remains "very difficult"

#Russia attacked and tried to advance in 5 directions in #Donetsk and #Luhansk, but Kyiv officials say they repelled 83 attacks

Here's the latest map with Bakhmut and Avdiivka highlighted
Britain's MoD says #Russia has tacitly accepted it won't capture #Zaporizhzhia.

They cite the designation of #Melitopol as 'capital' of the occupied part of ZP oblast.

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine
A medical volunteer from #Czechia has been seriously injured in the war zone.

The Phoenix Project gave few details on its official page, other than it happened in #Donbas and his condition is now stable:

It is fairly quiet today, thankfully.

Some media making a lot of #Germany saying it would arrest #Putin if he came to the country. But that's obvious as would any country which signed up to the statute.

#NATO increasing troop numbers along its eastern flank the other main story
3 civilians have been killed after a Russian grad rocket hit their home in #Zaporizhzhia region.

Two more were injured in the small town of #Kamianske, about 40km south of Zaporizhzhia city.

No photos from there yet; these are from y'day when Russia fired on the region 97 times

Thank you for your support Michael💙💛
Few tears will be shed over this death.

Collaborator Serhiy Moskalenko, who is said to have run the torture chamber in Nova Kakhovka, was blown up in a car bomb attack in occupied #Kherson.

Also in #Kherson region another potential scalp for the Resistance.

It looks like a similar car bombing hit the Commander of a platoon of Russian security forces in #Skadovsk, deep into the occupied zone.

#Ukraine channels on social media are claiming the "random residents" whom #Putin was supposed to have met in #Mariupol were acually usual suspects from Moscow's rentacrowd mob.

I cannot independently verify these supposed results showing facial matches with a previous event.

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⬇️

1/3
#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.

But there was damage from the others.

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.

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.

Welcome to another daily thread for Day 384 of #Russia's illegal war on #Ukraine.
In yesterday's thread we heard that the ICC is planning on bringing two war crimes charges against the Kremlin.

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
#Russia's continuing supply problems are the focus of the UK update once again today:

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:

1/2
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.
