Thursday 23 March. It's Day 393 of #Russia's war.
And it's my 393rd daily thread of all the news concerning #Ukraine's fight for its existence.

Missed something yesterday? Scroll through Wednesday's news here:
#StandWithUkraine

First news of what looks like another attack by #Ukraine partisans in #Melitopol.

The street has been sealed off after another explosion, thought to be an IED. Initial reports say a traitor policeman was injured.

#RussiansGoHome
A high number of #Russia's remaining tanks, a very high number of their artillery systems and 660 more soldiers were destroyed in the last 24 hours.

That's according to #Ukraine's official statistics.
The most intense fighting is now around #Avdiivka rather than #Bakhmut.
Britain's daily update concentrates on another area of the frontline, and determines it's mainly a defensive operation from #Russia's invaders.

#StandWithUkraine
Telegram channel RIA Melitopol has named who it believes is the policeman hit in today's explosion in the city.
#Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) has released a video showing some of its claimed recent hits.

They say they have destroyed 14 tanks, 4 armoured BMP fighting vehicles, 1 warehouse dump and 2 dugouts with enemy fighters within 5 days on the eastern border.

#RussiansGoHome
Another video, unverified, has emerged from pro-#Ukraine channels this morning.

It shows the famous 💙💛🇺🇦 flag already flying in #Crimea. This was supposedly filmed in the village of #Hrushivka.

#CrimeaIsUkraine #RussiansGoHome
#RussiaOnFire

A particularly interesting scene today from #Yaroslavl.

The city's Motor Plant is having a smoking problem!

What you need to know: the plant makes engines for #Russia's military as well as for domestic markets.

#GloryToTheSmokers #SlavaKurilshchikam!
#Ukraine has formally asked #Finland to hand over Hornet fighter jets to help in its defence against #Russia.

#StandWithUkraine

hs.fi/politiikka/art…
Bloomberg's speculation raised eyebrows, claiming Prigozhin & his #Wagner mercenaries may effectively be 'spent' in #Ukraine

The power struggle within #Russia is to blame they say, which I've detailed for weeks. Never mind, he can return to raping Africa

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
#Sweden's parliament has approved the transfer of military aid to #Ukraine.

The Riksdag voted in favour of the government's proposal to give aid of €550m, including Archer self-propelled artillery systems and Leopard 2 tanks, to Kyiv.

#StandWithUkraine
After a long stand-off it appears that Moscow aligned priests are leaving the historic #Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra.

Media in #Ukraine reporting despite objections, they are moving belongings out of the complex.

#RussiaOnFire

In #Chelyanbinsk a careless fire earlier at a fridge repair workshop (honestly!)

This happened in Etkul. There were no reported injuries.

#StopRussia
There are fears of another wave of attack drones heading for #Kyiv and some other eastern and nothern regions of #Ukraine.
Earlier this evening #Ukraine's air defence in the souther region says it shot down two Kh-59 missiles which #Russia had fired at #Odesa (RU: #Odessa)

Southern Command says they were launched by Su-35 fighter aircraft over the Black Sea.

#StopRussia
More incendiary devices being used on #Kherson region tonight.

Grainy night video from a distance, but still clearly identifiable as an incendiary explosive. However, it's not possible to verify where exactly, or when, it was filmed.

A very bright and warm good morning to you, on Day 1231 of Russia's war of choice

Putin's choice to invade a sovereign, peaceful neighbour, to ruin the economy, to send hundreds of thousands of his countrymen to die

Is the tide about to turn? Here's THE daily thread on Ukraine
Well 2 days ago I was optimistic, and today that optimism is borne out.

But first, let's backtrack to yesterday, and in among the forehands and backhands, I still managed to produce a good thread with a Pimms or two🎾

An awful lot of people criticised me (well, I picked up a lot of bots and Kremlin stooges too) for saying that the Donald would backtrack.

But I read the runes and I was correct. Trump has unequivocally promised more weapons for Ukraine.

I think among Ukraine watchers there is a bit of positivity.

It's thread + Day 1229 of the full invasion of🇺🇦, ordered by a now indicted war criminal.

I'll tell you about my renewed optimism during today's 🧵so let's start the Sunday show..
As always (unless I forget!), here's the link to the start of the previous day's news round-up.
It was a 22 (yes, twenty-two) hour marathon.

So the least you can do is read it all 😂😇
.. or send me a KoFi💙💛

I'll start with very recent news as there's been another big attack in daylight hours.

Shortly before 10am, Russian drones hit another military recruitment centre, this time in Kremenchuk.

Well already this Saturday morning, Russia is feeling a bit sick.

Ukraine's famed Dr One visited various places on a busy round of night calls.

And next on the list, Engels in the Saratov region.

A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.

With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.

Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv Image

Welcome to another daily thread - THE place for honest assessment and analysis of all the news around Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1214 of the full-scale war. I still have an unblemished record - every single day.

Why not show your support with a ☕️?

Russia displayed outright Nazism + Fascism on Friday.

From killing in Ukraine, more utterings from the war-criminal in chief, to locking up young women and taking legal action against small independent new sites.

8 missiles and 272 drones were fired at Ukraine overnight.

ALL Russian missiles were trained on Kremenchuk, but Ukraine claims NONE reached their targets, including 2 x Kindzhals (5 shot, 3 EW)

In addition 252 UAVs were stopped (93%)
140 being shot down, 112 stopped with EW. Image

Thursday 19 June is Day 1212 of the conflict in Europe.

Russia continues to make ground, expending its soldiers at will for a few more metres as Ukraine fights for its existence having been shamefully let down by the USA.

I'm here every single day, so here's today's daily 🧵
Wednesday saw the death toll in Kyiv rise throughout the day, ending at double the number it started at. Then later Putin cynically told journalists they only hit military targets

Elsewhere another traitor to Ukraine met his fate - click here to catch-up
Another milestone is reached.

Trump is now 150 days late in promising "peace within 24 hours" of taking office.

It's also, as @andrii_sybiha points out, 100 days since🇺🇦 agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, as tRUmp demanded.
Russia did what it always does: delay, lie, kill. Image
