This is the start of daily thread number 430 of the illegal war in #Ukraine, with all the news in one place.

A very good Saturday morning to you; it's been a lively start to the day for #Russia's occupiers.

If you want to support independent journalism, see my bio to buy me a☕️
First though the usual link to the start of yesterday's thread. Take a scroll if you missed anything or need a catch-up:

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

1/2
#Crimea has been illegally occupied by #Russia since 2014. It was the very start of this war, far predating the full invasion 14 months ago.

But the Occupiers are getting worried. Overnight an oil depot was set on fire when a drone hit Kozachi Bay. No injuries reported: ImageImageImage
2/2

The so-called "Governor" of #Sevastopol on #Crimea says the hige fire won't affect fuel supplies in the region.

Mikhail Razvozhaev says "These reserves were not involved in the supply of fuel to gas stations."
So that means #Ukraine hit army #Russia reserves, right Misha?
As predicted, the total of #Russia's dead in this sickening war, leaps over 190,000*
15/16 May should see that number hit 200,000.

Equipment losses for the invaders generally low, but vehicles/fuel tanks again above average

* #Ukraine estimate Image
More evidence, in the i paper, of #Russia's mercenary group's involvement in the conflict in #Sudan.

#Wagner troops are operating in both the capital #Khartoum and, maybe more worryingly, #PortSudan from where most evacuations will happen after today.

The update from British Intel this morning is interesting.

London takes note of #Russia's claims over yesterday's murder of civilians in #Ukraine, particularly in #Uman'
But the conclusion is surely the same:

Oh thank you Caroline for buying me a couple of coffees this morning.

Caramel Latte it will be - Sweet Caroline?

A teenage girl, illegally and forcibly deported from #Ukraine is now being prosecuted by her captors in #Russia.

While her mother in Ukraine prays for her return, Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets says Russia charged the 14yo to keep her captive.

How utterly disgusting to be in a foreign country and feel the need to support the terrorism and civilian murder your regime commits.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

Another 'unexplained' explosion in #Russia

This was spotted in the Glushkivskyi district of #Kursk, close to the border with #Ukraine.

#StopRussia
Two big supporters of mine, Morgan and Toni bought me coffees a little earlier.
So a big thank you to you both💙💛

President Zelenskyy says liberating #Crimea will cost far fewer lives than anticipated.

#Ukraine's President says "Russia is very much weaker. They lost their powerful army of military personnel."

The interview is here but not in English:

The #Ukraine Support Fund initiative, started by the UK, will soon procure more weapons and help.

Among the sought-after equipment are long-range rockets and equipment to ensure the mobility of troops, including bridges and landmine countermeasures.

In #Krasnodar they're denying rumours #Russia has lowered the age for mobilisation🤣

#brainwashing #RussiaIsATerroristState
#RussiaOnFire

Remember fire destroying the village of #Sosva in #Russia?

Well just 100km away another village in #Sverdlovsk is threatened. This was how #Alapayevsk looked from the train. Can't believe any western country would still be running services in these conditions!
Video just in from #Kramatorsk where kamikaze drones hit in the early hours this morning.

Two people were injured in #Russia's latest attack on what authorities say was a private house. One of the injured is a child who's being treated for severe burns.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
This diet of outrageous lies is astonishing.
#Russia's main channel news shows pictures of the massacre it commited in the #Ukraine city of #Uman'

But such is the propaganda and brainwashing they say this was a Ukrainian attack on #Donetsk.
@CurrentTimeTv proved the deception.
Earlier today Yevgeniy Prigozhin threatened to pull out of #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk) if they did not receive more ammunition.

Here's what the #Wagner boss said (English subtitles by @vidtranslator)
There's been shelling in occupied #Donetsk this afternoon.

The Occupiers say one person's dead in the town in the town of #Yasynuvata just north of Donetsk city.

The French company which has been delighting in trading with the Terrorist State, has been under investigation for 3 years.

@AUCHAN_France refused to close its operations in #Russia. Tax paid to #Russia helps kill Ukrainians.

Big situation in #Russia this evening.

Locals in the border region of #Bryansk report shelling at, or near, the railway station.

The local Governor says two people were killed in the village of Suzemka when a house suffered a direct hit.
#RussiaOnFire

This blaze broke out at 8pm tonight at a factory in #Perm.

The Motovilikha plant used to supply shells and other ammo for the Defence industry and may have restarted production since the war began.

Officials only say a transformer box was on fire.
#StopRussia
#Putin is wanted on war crimes charges for the forced deportation (i.e. kidnapping) of children from #Ukraine

It's now known around 100,000 children were given "medicals" and 70% found to have "chronic problems" which required them to be sent to #Russia😡

This is the beginning of the daily Ukraine thread on Day 1491.

The day started with an attack a major Russian port, which I was still reporting on during yesterday's🧵at 03:15 GMT/05:15 Kyiv

More details on that coming up.
The aerial fightback at the end of the day (start of today) came after Russia broke every record in the book for drone numbers during a cowardly attack on less protected city centres in the west of the country.

Catch up here, but remember to come back!

Overnight the usual attacks on Ukraine and, I'm afraid, the usual civilian casualties.

Nine people have been injured in a drone strike on the Novobavarskyi district of Kharkiv.

Day 1487 of Russia's 3-day Special Military Operation.
I wonder if Trump's slavish following of Putin will mean his own S.M.O. reaches 4 years?

But I am here to bring all the Ukraine news, as I have done EVERY SINGLE DAY since even before the full invasion. KoFi always welcome!
You may know I am in the middle of a tough 10-days of tennis comms, school commitments and parenting duties.

I read every comment, try to reply to all serious ones and credit all sponsors, but I am behind right now as I prioritise the news stories/🧵

I will catch up!💙💛
Thankfully, it's been a reasonably quiet news week, but a lot of Russians are dying at the front - with almost no noticeable land gains.

And Ukraine's concerted attacks on air defence is now reaping rewards. More targets struck overnight, catch up here:

Finally, I am here to start the Ukraine daily thread for Sunday 15 March. My body has recovered from self-inflicted sleep deprivation.

It's Day 1481 of the full Russian invasion.
All the important news, here in one place, every day.
Coming up, news of more Ukraine strikes, and how Zelenskyy delicately tries to say Trump is lying.

First though the link back to the start of yesterday's thread, which started with horrific scenes but again saw many good tactical strikes by Ukraine:

It's Oscars Day and #TeamTim is cheering for Pasha!

When the awards are handed out in LA tonight, we are hoping 'Mr Nobody' takes the documentary prize.

Apologies if this is geo-restricted by the BBC but this is a nice report I wanted to share:

It's Day 1451 of the attempt to wipe Ukraine off the map/

Russian athletes compete at the #WinterOlympics while a Ukrainian athlete is in court right now trying to overturn his ban.

This is THE daily thread. Facts not fabrication. Proof not propaganda. Every single day.
Here's the link for the start of yesterday's thread, for those playing catch-up.

A day dominated by the IOC's own goal, but more, regular attacks by Russia day and night.

Another tragedy/massacre in Ukraine, with at least four civilians killed in another Russian airstrike.

It happened in Kramatorsk in free Donetsk.
Three of those killed were under 21 years of age, the other victim was in his 60s.

The war in Europe continues. This is Day 1445 of Russia's attempt to erase Ukraine from the map & destroy its language and culture.

The genocide continues as I type, with a massive missile attack underway.

For all the news as it happens, keep checking back. This is THE daily🧵
Yesterday started with a supposed assassination attempt on another very senior Russian soldier.

A load of other great stories too, including the start of the overnight attack on Ukraine's remaining energy facilities. Catch up on what you missed here:

Having seen around 200 attack drones flying at the height of Russia's attack tonight, there are now around half that.

Day 1444 of Russia's merciless war has begun with the invaders losing another Lieutenant General - has Ukraine's special services struck again?

Detail on all the stories, all day, every day in my daily thread. Let's Go!
Thursday's thread included the release of a relatively small number of POWs - but finally some Azov fighters were freed.

And double delight for Ukraine tennis fans, to offset a little of the pain of more Russian attacks.
If you missed anything, click⬇️

So, Russia's reporting (which doesn't necessarily make it true) that one of the most senior Generals has been shot.

Lt Gen Vladimir Alekseev is said to be alive and in hospital after the attack in Moscow.

What makes me a little suspicious is there are no photos from the scene. Image
