Welcome to Daily Thread number 399 with all the important news of #Russia's illegal war in #Ukraine.

However don't forget that it's over 3,300 days since the first invasion of sovereign Ukrainian territory by Putin. Had the West acted decisively then this wouldn't have happened.
... and leading on from that, if we fail to act decisively now or "seek peace" on the wrong terms, we will face another war and a larger crisis a few further years down the line.

Better late than never. We must support #Ukraine until Russia stops all aggression.

#StopRussia
Plenty of news yesterday, including #France recognising #Holodomor as genocide, the IOC President desperately trying to stay friends with Uti-Puti and an armed assault on a police station in a southern republic in #Russia.

Catch up here - click + scroll!

1/2

It was a loud night in occupied #Melitopol with more explosions. I really believe this small city is a big prize for #Ukraine and they may be laying the ground work now - we've seen mutiple attacks in recent days.

There were reports of sounds like this in three districts.
2/2
#Melitopol is a major transport hub and if #Ukraine can break through the ZSU should be able to get all the way to the south to end #Russia's "land bridge" to #Crimea.

Melitopol also has an airfield - this is how it looked at dawn!🔥🔥🇺🇦
A jury in Florida's finds Marc Gitway, deputy chairman of the Russian gas company Novatek, guilty of hiding foreign assets and providing false information to the IRS (Tax).
UPDATE from #Melitopol - Occupiers admit the explosions but say there were no casualties.

Electricity went off in several northern suburbs of the city and at the airport soon after the missiles hit around 05:30.

Concensus of locals is there were 8-10 air strikes.
#SlavaUkraini
More from #Russia on #Melitopol attack.
"due to shelling by militants of the Armed Forces of #Ukraine at 05:30, hits were recorded on the objects of the Melitopol locomotive depot. There is damage and destructions. There were no casualties."

Must be bad if they admit it!
#Ukraine's daily update on #Russia's losses is against n much lower than last week's figures.

One plane added to the totals which I reported yesterday.

#RussiansGoHome
Back to #Melitopol where more photos are emerging.
Here a substation was hit.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Usually reliable ndependent Russian media Shot says a #Ukraine drone failed in an attack on the Gazenergoset pumping station in #Belgorod this morning.

Their sources say the tank where the UAV was aimed, turned out to be empty so nothing exploded, though debris damaged the tank.
The attack on #Melitopol has certainly caused panic among #Russia's elite and military.

There's so much traffic on the road to/from Mariupol, especially heavy army trucks, that it's been turned into an impassable mud swamp.

#AllAccordingToPlan
Hundreds of worshippers turned up at the sacred Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra today.

It's deadline day for #Moscow-aligned priests to vacate the site. Among those seen in the crowd was World Heavyweight Boxing Champ Aleksandr Usyk.
British Intel update reveals what I reported a good few days ago, the relief of the O0506 route.
#Bakhmut can be saved with good tanks on the way!
Another Russian plane has been downed.

In the early hours of this morning, #Ukraine reports "units of anti-aircraft missile forces of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed a Russian Su-24M bomber."

It happened near #Bakhmut.
Sounds like there's been an explosion in #Rostov na Don.

It's probably the biggest city in #Russia close to the border with #Ukraine. No further details yet.

#StandWithUkraine
An explosion was recorded near an air base on #Crimea today.

The Occupiers had no option but to acknowledge the rising pall of smoke. Yet they again claim #Russia's air defence shot down a drone, despite a huge crater at the site.

Russia says the UAV fell into a field.
#Ukraine's General Staff admits #Russia has had "partial success" in #Bakhmut but the city is still under their control:

"The enemy continues its assault on Bakhmut, with partial success. However, our defenders courageously hold the city, repel numerous enemy attacks."
Over 3,000 activists are supporting #Ukraine in the Occupied territories through the "Yellow Ribbon" resistance campaign.

An interesting insight here with one organiser. He says about 30 have been arrested and some have died.

In the fiercely independent #Sverdlosk region a big fire on the Yamburg-Yelets gas pipeline.

There was an explosion ahead of the fire in the village of #Pelym, officials say no casualties and the fire was fuel burning off.

Day 398 of #Russia's full war on #Ukraine + this is the start of the daily thread for Tuesday.

Already today another drone attack by the aggressor - details coming up, plus all the rest of the news as it unfolds throughout the day.

Yesterday's 🧵is here:
1/2

So first let's get to the drone attack. #Ukraine has shot down 13 UAVs which mostly attacked #Kyiv.

#Russia released 12 of the Iran kamikaze Shahids and one reconnaissance drone.

There were explosions in the capital but there are no injuries.
2/2

In #Kyiv a three-storey building was hit during #Russia's attack. It's possible it was struck by downed drones; fires started in two places.

This is in the Svyatoshyn district of #Ukraine's capital.

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

A fairly quiet day in #Ukraine yesterday, all things considered. But quite a few mysterious fires in #Russia🔥😉

Catch up on anything you missed on Saturday with this link:

#StandWithUkraine

Hello again. We've reached day 395 of the war.

#Russia's forward momentum in #Ukraine appears to have stalled and splits and tensions are starting to show among the illegal invaders, from the top down.

Here's another daily thread with #Ukraine news updated throughout the day.
As usual, here's a handy link to yesterday's thread for those who missed anything, such as some tasty fires, a kicking 'priest' and sadly, more war crimes and devastation.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome

Now the usual numbers game.
Another 720 wasted lives and grieving families in #Russia as illegal invaders are sacrificed to #Putin.

Not much else of note except 9 MLRS equipment and a helicopter destroyed.

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.

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.
