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

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 on Day 810 of the war in Europe.

#Ukraine, a democratic nation, desperate to keep it that way, remains under intense pressure from #Russia, an autocracy led by a despot and indicted war criminal.

All the news all day long in one handy thread. Read on..

#StandWithUkraine
Yesterday we only really had two stories, but they were big ones.

#Putin exiling & side-lining top names from the Kremlin.

And 25 years after the #Russia apartment bombings, 13 were killed in a new attack - but who did it?
Review the news here:

I have to start today's news with all-time record numbers of losses suffered by #Russia in the last 24 hours, according to #Ukraine's figures.

1,740 invaders eliminated on Sunday and for the first time, the projected date of reaching 500,000 victims is now before June. Image

Hello and welcome to Day 807 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.

Each day documenting the news and war crimes committed by indicted war criminal Putin and his Moscow horde as the neo-imperialists try to steal more land and wipe out another culture.

Here's another daily thread...
As always, the quick link back to the starts of yesterday's thread for those who missed some, or all, of Thursday's developments.

And right at the end of the day we saw another oil target inside #Russia being hit by drones!
So confirmation of another attack on an oil refinery in #Russia, the second in 2 months at this partuicular site.

Day 803 of #Russia's full invasion continues. The war criminals are super confident, tossing away lives of the plebs and useful idiots from Asia, Africa + the Americas.

But #Ukraine fights hard for its existence and supplies filter through to the frontlines.
This is the daily🧵
Today is a holiday in most of the UK, so I allowed myself a later start (no school run!)

Coming up news of #Ukraine hitting a Rusdian boat...
But first the link to yesterday's thread, which turned out to be quite busy.

So straight to the seas around occupied #Crimea where the big news happened overnight.

One of #Russia's speedboats was taken out by #Ukraine, with its Intel releasing this video.

A Magura V5 naval drone was successful near Uzaka Bay in the west of the occupied territory.

Many across Europe celebrate a holiday today, the first day of May.

In normal times in #Ukraine it would be a big celebration, with Labour Day followed by Easter and Remembrance/Victory Day. But these are far from normal times. No respite from war. Welcome to the daily thread:
Tuesday saw #Russia's world bring more death to #Kharkiv and to #Odesa for the second time in two days - a video proving the sickening cluster bomb attack on the people the day before.

All yesterday's news can be found here if you missed anything:

Overnight #Ukraine's special services has launched another successful attack on #Russia's oil industry.

Drones attacked a refinery in #Ryazan.
The local governor admits drones attacked but makes no mention of hits to the plant.
