Does anybody like Monday mornings?
Here's another daily thread with all the war news for & about #Ukraine.

We've reached Day 397 of #Russia's full invasion.
That's 130 times longer than Putin expected to capture #Kyiv!

Here's the link for Sunday's news:

With everything going according to plan for #Russia, there's absolutely no need to fire any more Commanders.

Oh wait... I'm hearing Colonel General Rustam Muradov has been sacked as Air Defence chief.

Looks like #Putin is unnerved by how easily drones can fly into its air space

#Ukraine crews have completed their UK training on Challenger-2 tanks.

The teams are already back home, ready to resume the fight against #Russia. For security the tanks' location is not revealed.

Two weeks ago Britain's MoD released this video of the training
#StandWithUkraine

The spotlight is back on #Russia over possible #NordStream sabotage.

The lowest figures for quite a long time published by #Ukraine today in its daily estimate of #Russia's losses.

Very little equipment hit recently, while invading troops killed was "only" 610.

#RussiansGoHome

Britain's military Intel says #Ukraine probably didn't manage to damage any of #Russia's fleet in #Crimea last week.

However it causes Russia problems

Ray O gets my thanks.
Thank you so much for the coffee and nice words Ray!

Big explosions hit #Russia's occupiers in #Melitopol.

Locals say the buildings houses military.

#SlavaUkraïni

Also big news from #Mariupol. Partisans there have blown up one of the Occupiers' cars.

It's reported that a top Russian Commander has been hit in the blast, which occured just after 8am near ​​the Bakhchivanyi market.

#RussiansGoHome

One civilian is dead and 27 more wounded in a terrible attack on a residential area of #Sloviansk.

President @ZelenskyyUa showed this video from the scene. Rescue workers are still moving rubble.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

Another of #Russia's spies has been arrested in #Poland.

The man arrived in Gdansk in January and was arrested last week. Authorities report he's already admitted spying and faces up to 10 years behind bars.

UPDATE from #Sloviansk, where sadly a child has also died in the inhumane attack on the city.

They're the secnond confirmed fatality. 29 more people are injured after #Russia fired two S-300 missiles at the residential area this morning.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

#Russia claims it downed a #Ukraine helicopter today.

Moscow says the Mi-8 was hit by its air defence over #Zaporizhzhia (RU: #Zaporozhe) region.

Mind you, Russias total come to more aircraft than Ukraine has ever had.

#RussiaOnFire (I think!)

But what on earth's happened here in the #Strogino district of western #Moscow?

A few reports of a "pop" being heard then the mysterious smoke ring ascended.

#StopRussia

#Germany has released the Leopards!

18 of the Leopard-2 tanks promised to #Ukraine have arrived in the country according to @derspiegel

#StandWithUkraine

#Ukraine's President @ZelenskyyUa made another visit to troops on the front line today.

He handed out awards to soldiers defending positions in #Zaporizhzhia, but the military then turned the tables, presenting "Ze" with a coin, which is a symbol of military brotherhood.

An interesting day for #Hungary, where the country's parliament has finally approved #Finland's accession to #NATO.

However Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán has blocked an EU migration deal, apparently "objecting to gender equality clauses" in the agreement with 79 countries.

Many thnaks to Christina from Finland and Nigel J who have both supported my work this afternoon.
Lovely messages too which are equally appreciated 💙💛

Not quite Russia On Fire, but an interesting blaze broke out in its vassal state #Belarus.

This is the #Minsk Automobile Plant. Cause unknown but there have been quite a few sabotage attacks since the start of the war and the announcement about nukes may increase them.

#Ukraine anger in China after athletes from 🇺🇦 fencing team were forbidden to display banners at an event in Nanjing.

European champion Vlada Kharkova is shown in this video arguing with officials as she tries to show the "Angels of Sport" showing athletes killed by #Russia.

Some media reporting that #France is trying to buy back around 40 Mirage fighter jets from the United Arab Emirates.

These could then be given to #Ukraine to defend their land against #Russia.
