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.

Hello again. Day 860 of #Russia's all-out war on #Ukraine, but for newcomers, we only got here because the west did nothing when Putin tried to subvert democracy in 2013/4 & invaded #Crimea and east Ukraine in Feb 2014.

Let's start another daily thread - not a single day off!
Monday was another busy thread.

More signs #RussiaIsCollapsing, big blackouts and record losses for the invader.
In occupied #Ukraine there was an important hit on #Crimea, and how drones hit a moving train used by Russia.

Catch up here:

What times we live in.
#Russia takes over the revolving Presidency of the UN Security Council, while Putin's biggest ally in the west, #Hungary holds the EU Presidency for 6 months.

This morning Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán arrived in #Kyiv for the first time since 2012.

It's Day 849 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful neighbour. But it's well over 10 years since the original illegal incursion into #Ukraine territory.

This is another daily thread with all the important news, presented without exaggeration, updated all day long every day!
#Russia's favourite mantra, repeated by trolls, useful-idiots, MAGA types etc, is of Nazis in #Ukraine.

It's simple: #Russia accuses others of what it does itself.
Democratic elections?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Jewish President?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌
Previous Pres Jewish?🇺🇦✅🇷🇺❌

Thursday ended with a lot of activity in #Russia's #Krasnodar region, explosions and nice videos.

You can see them at the end of yesterday's thread, a mammoth 60-post effort.

Hello and welcome of Day 838 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine, a country which never fired a shot at any other until the initial 2014 invasion by its imperialistic neighbour.

This is THE thread for all the news, analysis and a bit of comment on the situation. Let's dive in
Regulars will know I (try to) always include a link back to the previous day for those who missed something, or like to just browse the main stories in one place, in a few minutes.

Please share, boost, do your NAFO thing to raise visibility!💙💛

On Saturday there were stories of #Ukraine sinking a ship in #Taganrog.

Now #Russia's independent BAZA reports a barge there was hit and the tugboat "Inzhener Smirnov"

Two crew members are reported injured.

It's Day 835 of #Russia's war.
A conflict based solely on the ego of one very little man. But Putin managed to remove all freedoms & opposition and then brainwash the public into supporting his tyranny, just as Hitler did.

This is THE daily thread covering the war in #Ukraine
It was another very difficult night for the people and air defenders in #Ukraine.

All the details coming up right here on Friday's thread.
First though, your chance to look back on Thursday's news. If you missed anything, click + scroll here:
First I want to point out the seemingly random number of "views".
Yesterday's thread-header has the lowest view count I can ever remember, despite almost identical likes/retweets to the previous day.
The last 3 days: 35k 22k and 9k
However of those 35k, 2/3 came after 2am GMT
