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
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!"
Update from #Crimea
Occupiers have imposed a State of Emergency in #Dzhankoy.

#Russia claimed it shot down the drone last night with only slight damage to one shop and one house.

Just days after the ICC issued war crimes arrest warrants, 15 #Ukraine children have been returned home.

Ombudsman Dmytro Lubynets says in total 308 have "returned to the territory of Ukraine" however he did not say if these youngsters had been in #Russia or an occupied region.
The @nytimes obtained documents showing #China sold $12m worth of drones + accessories to #Russia since the invasion of #Ukraine

DJI drones account for almost 50% of drone imports by Russia and shipments continue though the company said it had stopped.

nytimes.com/2023/03/21/bus…
One of those Chinese drones (see previous tweet) has been shot down today over #Bakhmut.

The DJI Mavic-2 "correction" UAV was taken out by #Ukraine's border guards, though it took "It took several magazines of AK-74 ammunition"

dpsu.gov.ua/ua/news/tri-do…
Continuing the culture of fear in #Russia, they're rushing to make surrendering a crime.

State news agency RIA novosti reports anyone not offering resistance, who allows themselves to be captured, will in future face up to 10 years in jail.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
The last of the G7 leaders to visit #Ukraine has finally arrived in #Kyiv.

#Japan's PM Fumio Kishida arrived via train from Poland, and has headed straight for #Bucha.

Later he will meet with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

#StandWithUkraine
#Zaporizhzhia has been hit with S-300 missiles.

It seems #Russia has fired from #Tokmak, about 100km away, over the other side of the frontline.

#StopRussia
Here's something very controversial.
A UK government official has admitted they will be supplying highly-controversial uranium-depleted ammunition to #Ukraine

It's highly effective at breaching tanks' armour, but has been linked to cancer.

questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questi…
UPDATE on previous tweet:

A couple of months ago #Russia warned it would regard the use of uranium-depleted ammunition as a 'dirty bomb' and "will be harshly responded to by Moscow."

plenglish.com/news/2023/01/2…
A senior lieutenant in #Russia's army looks to have been murdered.

Investigators are checking a theory he may have been poisoned.

This happened at a military camp in Kubovaya near #Novosibirsk. The officer died within minutes of arriving at the camp.

tayga.info/181082
Musk does it again! #Ukraine's military says Starlink terminals are no gro-blocked and won't work in the Occupied zones, even though this is sovereign Ukrainian land.

The report by the Economist says Ukraine now has to use a range of other, more expensive, comms options.
On the face of it more good news for #Ukraine.

But still a distinct lack of detail or assurance.
The Five Eyes Intelligence soon worked out Ukraine would resist #Russia's initial invasion, and have now had 12 months to get top equipment to Ukraine.

As a side note, just been through notifications.

Today I went back 48 hours and saw so many replies which had not shown up when I last checked this morning. Not sure what Twitter does with the algorithm and why some are "hidden" from me for a while. This was happening pre-Musk.
A very short clip said to be from #Zaporizhzhia after the reported missile attack on the city earlier.

Still no official comment from #Ukraine officials.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Earlier today #Russia claimed they had foiled a drone attack on an oil pipeline in #Bryansk region.

The local Governor claims it's the 4th attempt to hit the Druzhba line.

#StopRussia
A house is destroyed in #ChasivYar.

The town is near Bakhmut in #Donetsk region. If #Bakhnut falls, Chasiv Yar is likely to go the same way soon after. But #BakhmutHolds

#StandWithUkraine
It's claimed that #Ukraine destroyed a Command Post of #Russia's army in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.

Around 15 died and another 12 were injured when Ukraine's army hit the camp at Malaya Belozerka near #Vasilevka.

ria-m.tv/news/314912/po…
There were also unconfirmed reports of an attack on one of #Russia's bases in #Donetsk earlier.

#Ukraine sources claim this smoke was rising from a warehouse of equipment with reports of multiple troop deaths also.

#StopRussia
More attack drones are threatening #Ukraine right now.

Explosions reported in #Odesa - contrasting reports about whether it was a UAV being shot down or one of the kamikaze drones hitting the Shkolny military airfield in #Odessa.
This video is unverified

#StopRussia
One #Odesa channel is reporting injuries in the southern city after a drone strike.

The #Odessa-Info site says there is a severe fire after the UAV hit a 3-storey building.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

Now it makes sense... #Odesa was hit with missiles launched from #Russia's Su-35 fighter jets.
The jets took off from the Black Sea fleet.

#Ukraine's emergency services confirm here are victims but no-one died.
2/2

It's with some irony I have to report that #Russia's rockets hit a dormitory of one of the Orthodox monasteries of the Moscow Patriarchate of #Odesa.

#Odessa #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine's air defence has just announced it managed to shoot down two Kh-59 guided cruise missiles which were fired at #Odesa tonight.

#StopRussia #Odessa #RussiaIsATerroristState
Another new low for #Russia as 8 shells hit a cemetery in #Kherson region today.

Regional Head Oleksandr Prokudin revealed the details of the attack in the village of #Mykhailivka.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
I found this video on the internet. It appears new, but I'm not positive.

It's definitely in #Russia, probably a southern republic, and there are a lot of fresh graves as well as the person being buried there that day.
Confirmation from #Odesa that three people were injured in this evening's attack by #Russia

It's now known 4 Kh-59 air to surface missiles were fired, with two hitting a dormitory of a monastery.

#Odessa #SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Russia's invaders say 8 people have been admitted to hospital in occupied #Kherson with "symptoms of bird flu."
Thanks to the supersleuths who follow me and managed to locate the latest Russian cemetery video to the very far East of #Russia.

@PaxLusitanica @adienis and here @nenajous all chipped in.

Quarantine, HazMat suits, face masks...

No, not the return of #Covid19 - instead #Russia's reaction to #BirdFlu in occupied #Kherson region of #Ukraine I reported a little earlier.

There are 8 suspected cases, one has been confirmed by lab tests.
Drones over #Kyiv oblast.
Air Defence seems to have shot down at least one already.

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.
