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.

#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.

Welcome to Day 394 of the war - exactly 13 months since #Russia began its illegal full invasion.

Here's the daily news thread for Friday.
Thursday was quiet and one of the shorter threads - catch up here:

1/2
Things are hotting up in #Russia - and not only with the end of winter.

There's been a definite uptick in #RussiaOnFire stories in the last two weeks and some interesting places are becoming victims of 'careless smokers'.

Today I have for you videos from near #Yekaterinburg
2/2

This is in #Aramil, in Sverdlovsk region.

The #RussiaOnFire building is the research and production complex. This plant actively works for #Russia's Defence sector.

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!"

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.

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.

#Russia attacked again last night, sending 16 attack drones to #Ukraine.

Air defence in Ukraine destroyed 11 of the Iranian made Shahid UAVs, which were launched simultaneously from the Sea of Azov and Bryansk.

But there was damage from the others.
