And so begins Day 416 of the wretched war.
Bloodthirsty #Russia continues its illegal assault and attempt to destroy #Ukraine.

You've found the start of another daily thread with all the news.

As I'm search/shadowbanned please reply to this (write anything) and retweet to help!
Friday was quite a busy one, unfortunately the news led by another Terrorist Attack by #Russia.

But there was also the surprise of seeing Prigozhin call for an end to the war, and lots more interesting stuff.

Catch up here:

The #UK thinks #Russia's new laws on being able to deliver call-ups via email or text, indicate the Kremlin is preparing for a long war in #Ukraine.

This concurs with most experts' views as the invaders continue to build defences in the Occupied Territories. Image
#Russia's losses today well down on recent days.
Indeed equipment losses are probably as low as I can remember since 24 February 2022.

I'm sure @ragnarbjartur can confirm with his excellent daily charts! Image
One person's been injured overnight in #Sumy region.

#Russia fired grad rockets at the village of #Bilopillya, hitting a farming company.

#RussiaIsATerroristState ImageImageImage
In #Sloviansk five people remain under the rubble of a house.

As of this morning, 9 people were killed and 21 injured as a result of yesterday's Russian rocket attack.

#RussiaIsATerroristState Image
The Commander of a group defending #Vuhledar + #Avdiivka says they're holding positions, denying #Russia the chance to reach the latter.

Oleksandr Tarnavskyi of the Tavria battalion posted this photo adding "every soldier in the trenches is performing at the highest level." Image
#Ukraine's air force hints the US Patriot Air Defence systems will be in use soon

Spokesman Yuriy Ignat says the promised equipment will arrive "some time after Easter", but refuses to be more specific. "When the first Rashist plane is shot down you will know"

#StandWithUkraine
Earlier this morning two explosions were heard in occupied #Mariupol'

However no further details since, and it could be training of new arrivals from #Russia.

#SaveUkraine
The number of countries committed to seeing #Russia's leaders in the Hague has now reached 34.

#Poland became the most recent nation to join the coalition backing a tribunal into war crimes committed by the Terrorist State.

News In Brief:

#Moscow has cancelled its scheduled MayDay parade (1 May) "due to the threat of terrorism." The 9 May Victory parade will go ahead

#Japan pledges to give #Ukraine $400m to repair critical infrastructure and a further $70m to the UN's Ukraine Development programme
#Ukraine says it has proof that #Russia's regular army is now using convicts in the war.

Previously only #Wagner attempted this recruitment method, but now at least 15 Russian criminals have surrendered in #Donetsk region.

One of the biggest problems this Easter weekend for many in #Ukraine is flooding.

Three regions are on the highest level of alert with widespread instances of damage due to floodwater.

The capital #Kyiv is also suffering - photos/videos in this report:

Wow, 37 replies, 48 retweets so far. Thanks to all the "Fellas" and others for helping amplify my account. Pro-Ukraine accounts are under attack, support your favourites this way by regularly replying.

I've responded to all the replies, hope you see it!
A good and important thread for both nerds and those following the #DiscordLeaks closely.

One of the biggest Russian propagandists to write in English has an interesting background and is definitely NOT where she pretended to be from.

Two more bodies have been retrieved from the ruins of the apartment block in #Sloviansk.

11 people have now died in this Terror Attack by the nation which holds the Presidency of the @UN Security Council.

Nothing to say @antonioguterres?

#RussiaOnFire

This video clip is from south of #Kazan.
Locals say it's from near the tank training ground.

Friendly fire anyone?
#StopRussia
Shame on @amazon @Google and @NatGeo
All offer maps showing Occupied Territories in #Ukraine as Russian.

#Russia claims it has captured "two (more) quarters of the northern and southern outskirts of #Artemovsk (#Bakhmut in Ukrainian)"

Reports of #Ukraine troops retreating may well be true, though The Kremlin admits fierce battles continue for 🇷🇺's Wagner and Airborne Forces (VDV).
A mother and daughter have been murdered by #Russia's shelling in #Kherson.

The 48 and 28 year olds were walking near the school in the Tavriiskyi area of the city when killed.

#SlavaUkraini

This looks very much like #Ukraine hitting a Russian base in #Ribizhne.

Ammo, weapons, or a mix of both, exploding at will in the #Luhansk town.
Prigozhin "personally ordered the execution of prisoners of war of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. There are more than 20 such cases."

The founder of Gulagu.net, Vladimir Osechkin said they will publish the full story on Monday, based on testimony from an ex-Wagnerite. Image
LOL - nice to see the #Ukraine flag flying right in the centre of St Petersburg.

This is the Tauride Palace where a session of the CIS Inter-Parliamentary Assembly is taking place.
Seems no one told them Ukraine left the post Soviet relic 5 years ago!
Painting of Easter eggs is especially popular in #Ukraine and #Russia.

Seems the Ukrainian soldiers are preparing some seasonal gifts for the invaders.
#EasterGrenades! Image
#RussiaOnFire

A grassfire is raging out of control in #Tatarstan according to some Telegram channels in #Russia.

I cannot verify this - I just hope authorities are trying not to pretend this is the reason for the smoke in #Kazan, where some speculate about Russian troop deaths

This is the start of THE daily thread covering all things Ukraine.

Reliable, accurate information for 1124 days as Russia and its willing accomplices (Iran, North Korea and MAGA-land) try to destroy Ukraine, its culture and its democracy to make it a vassal state.

Here's the🧵
Yesterday started with shocking lies and propaganda from the White House and ended with another massive attack by Russia, knowing tRUmp and co don't mind at all.

Find all the details by clicking and scrolling here⬇️

Worryingly, Russia achieved a 17% hit rate from its overnight drone attack with 25 of 147 getting through Ukraine's air defence.

97 attack UAVs were taken down and 25 more were decoys.

Kyiv came under fire most during the night.

The war Russia inflicted on Ukraine enters Day 1120

Ukraine, a country which never invaded another, never killed anyone abroad; a fully democratic nation where only one President has ever won a second term in office.

Here's THE daily thread for Wednesday, with all the news.
Yesterday was all about the ritual humiliation of tRUmp, dished out by Putin, and the US president's brain being too rusty to realise.

I also indulged in a long sub-thread on my fears about what's happening in Washington DC.
Catch up here:

It's official. tRUmp's supposed skill at making a deal is absolutely RANK

Russia
Afghanistan
NK (North Korea)

#TraitorTrump promised a deal with his mate in NK, got nothing.
He handed the Taliban everything, got nothing.
Now, ending the war in 24 hours turned into humiliationImage

Tuesday 18 March is Day 1119 of the war in Europe

Putin, the aggressor, the war criminal, presiding over countless heinous crimes, executions, kidnapping of children, is about to be given a pass by Donald J Trump.
The despot and the wannabe talk today.

This is THE daily thread
Yesterday saw an explosive end to a day which started with mystery surrounding a Ukraine hit in Russia, and moved through the thread with some harrowing and shocking tales and scenes from Kherson.

Catch up here! #SlavaUkraïni

During the night 7% of Russia's drones defeated air defence, according to Ukraine's figures.

Kyiv says there were 64 simulator drones which fell harmlessly - I think is a record, but cannot be sure.

Another 63 were shot down, with 10 of 137 attack UAVs reaching targets. Image

Welcome to my daily thread, covering all things #Ukraine every single day since even before the first day of Russia's full invasion.

This is Day 1110 of Putin's long promised land grab - he's also pledged to reunite the rest of the USSR.

More atrocities overnight, let's begin:
For those loving people who urge me to get more sleep, you will be pleased to know there was no alarm this morning; I am refreshed and ready to tackle JD TRussia again.

A busy Friday ended with news of the awful attack in free Donetsk, catch up here:

1/2
Coming up news of a significant new oil strike in Russia. While Ukraine sticks to military targets, Putin's horde targets civilians.

#Dobropillya is a small place, but this heinous attack may go down as one of the worst of the war.

Today sees the completion of 3 years of full scale war unleashed by #Russia on #Ukraine.

As signs point to an end to this war relatively soon, the ONLY question which should be asked is: are you happy to reward war-criminal terrorists with land?

Here's THE daily thread:
It's Day 1096 of #Russia 's war.

If you missed anything yesterday, catch up on Saturday's news here:

The #UK is in full focus today.
As @Keir_Starmer prepares to fly to Washington, new sanctions will be unveiled tomorrow.

Foreign Sec @DavidLammy says it will be "the largest package of sanctions against #Russia since the early days of the war eroding its military machine."

Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.

Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.

On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:

100% record in air defence overnight, according to #Ukraine.

Of 83 attack drones fired by #Russia, 61 were shot down by #Ukraine with the other 22 decoys.

I did report a fire in #Sumy last night, but that and damage in #Kharkiv #Poltava + #Kirovohrad were from falling debris. Image
