Hello again, welcome to a new week, a new thread and Day 390 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful neighbour.

Updated throughout the day with only the relevant news from #Ukraine and beyond, this is your one-stop guide for the war in Europe.
If you need a catch up on Sunday, here's the link.

Interestingly a couple of people wrote to say my tweets weren't showing up again in their timeline. Sunday saw the fewest views, likes and retweets I can remember 😥

#StandWithUkraine

In a review of the week, #Ukraine's armed forces claim they hit 5 of #Russia's military bases in the occupied territory plus 5 ammunition stores.

The graphic is in Russian but even if you don't understand you can see where the hits were.

#RussiansGoHome Image
The Telegram channel RIA Melitopol alleges #Russia has set up a torture chamber in the small city.

Military roadblocks appeared near where the Occupiers issue Russian passports. Two doors away they claim the torture cells exist.

There's no proof, but RIA has good contacts.
#Russia's death toll passes 165,000 in #Ukraine* with another 700 victims of #Putin's vanity in the last 24 hours.

That's a little lower than recent days but still a crazy amount of lost lives. Equipment destroyed is below average.

*Estimates by Kyiv

Someone vandalised a wall! Not sure where this is.
A flag of the USSR, which murdered millions. Idiots!

The text says "Thanks Fedyor! You are a man! Russians cannot do otherwise" (Fedyor is the child who was hurt when Russian partisans attacked Berdyansk).

#SlavaUkraini Image
More extensive shelling of #Kostyantynivka (RU: #Konstantinovka) overnight.

No news of victims yet. Local officials only say both residential and non-residential buildings were hit.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Anyone remember the days when "Sleepy Dima" was thought of as a moderate (during his time as President)?

#RussiaIsATerroristState

London's daily Intelligence update compares #Avdiivka with #Bakhmut.

My followers have known for a while this is the situation in the more southerly of the hotspots in #Donetsk region. Today's assessment from the UK gives both good and bad news.

#RussiansGoHome Image
Reports a group of miners from #China were killed by militants in Central African Republic

#CAR is almost a #Wagner state; mercenaries control the important things + rape the land of minerals.

Prigozhin making life awkward for Putin with Chinese premier's visit to Moscow today?
Reports of another sabotage in #Crimea.

A gas pipeline has been blown up in the largest city #Simferopol.

The blast happened last night with officials Saying "an unknown person planted an explosive device with a capacity of 200 grams of TNT."

#StopRussia
#Ukraine has seized ownership of one of Europe's largest shopping malls.

#Kyiv's Ocean Plaza was believed to be owned by one of Putin's best buddies, Arkady Rotenburg.

New posters from #Ukraine's Resistance.

"Occupier, are you sure... how your evening will end?"
The girl seems to be holding a bottle of poison.

#RussiansGoHome ImageImage
North Macedonia has handed over four Su-25 fighter jets to #Ukraine.

The influential publication Jane's says the Balkan country may also give a further twelve Mi-24 attack helicopters.

Though not officially confirmed yet, it's reported that the EU has agreed to a massive emergency purchase of shells and ammunition for #Ukraine.

Hopefully a statement in the next hour or so.
Genuine LOL moment.

#Russia has launched a criminal case against the prosecutor and judges of the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
A new $350m package of aid for #Ukraine has been announced by the #USA

It's the 34th such measure of support to help Ukrainians defend their land against #Russia's illegal invasion.

It's mainly ammunition, including for #HIMARS.
#StandWithUkraine Image
Meanwhile Anthony Blinken, the US Sec of State, has slammed the idea of a ceasefire in the war, even before #China's President finished his 'talks' with Putin. And he's dead right, a ceasefire would be disastrous in the long run, #Ukraine remembers from bitter experience.
#Ukraine has received 8 more Leopard 2 tanks plus auxiliary vehicles.

The latest delivery is from #Norway. Its Defence Ministry confirmed the handover has already happened.

The Norwegian govt is also providing funds for ammunition and spare parts.
#Turkiye (#Turkey) has stopped exporting sanctioned goods to #Russia.

The Ankara government enforced the ban at the start of this month according to this report:

#RussiaOnFire

A restaurant in the south of #Moscow was engulfed in flames this afternoon.

The "Mti-Eli" eastery in the Tsaritsyno District went from smoke to these flames "in just minutes" according to witnesses.
#Ukraine's Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council has denied last week's Politico report which stated 100,000 🇺🇦 soldiers had died.

@OleksiyDanilov says it's "impossible" & told Interfax #Russia was losing 7 times more at the moment

One year ago today #Kyiv was rocked by one of the worst bombings of the capital during the war.

#Russia targeted the Retroville shopping centre.

UNCONFIRMED reports of explosions at the #Dzhankoy airfield in occupied #Crimea.
Videos are being circulated from #Crimea now.

Air-defence fire can clearly be heard as well as the hum of the drone on some footage.

Here is the best view of the explosion in #Dzhankoy. The person filming suggests the UAV crashed near the railway, so it may have missed target.
#Ukraine's military intelligence claims the explosion in #Crimea hit Kalibr Cruise missiles.

In a statement they describe the blast as "mysterious" while stating #Russia's missiles were bing transported by rail to the military base at #Dzhankoy.

#Ukraine's Tennis Federation has appealed to the country's Sports Ministry not to bar its players from competing on the WTA and ATP tours.

The country wants to boycott any sports where athletes from #Russia and #Belarus are allowed to compete:

This is Day 391 of the #RussiaUkraineWar and you've found the start of another daily thread.

For all the news from Monday, click and scroll yesterday's 🧵

Monday was pretty quiet and this morning has started the same way in #Ukraine, with no major news to report overnight, with no update on the drone attack in #Crimea

So let's look at #Russia's daily losses. Almost 1,000 troops: tanks and artillery system numbers above average too Image
The British daily update uses polite language to effectively say "can you imagine what it's going to be like in #Russia in coming months: psychopaths, drug abusers and thieves are back on the streets, with many of them now suffering PTSD too. Good luck!" Image

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.

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.
