Good evening/morning - it's Day 451 of #Russia's illegal and inhumane war.
#Ukraine is under attack again tonight with attack drones currently threatening large parts of the country.
All the details, throughout the day (and night) each and every day, in one handy thread.

A reminder multiple drones threaten #Kyiv tonight
Regional Gov Serhii Popko says fire atop a multi-storey building, caused by debris from a falling UAV, is around 80 sq m.
There may be victims
Bits of drones have fallen on several streets in Darnytskyi & Solomyanskyi districts

I think we need to keep an eye on what's happening in #Serbia.
This was the scene tonight with mass protests against the government, prompting President Vučić to address those on the square. Conveniently he says Russia and China warned him of the west's plans for a revolution!

So Friday was in general a good day for #Ukraine.
As well as the F-16 block being lifted, plenty of #Russia's equipment is destroyed on the battlefield.
Again artillery systems, vehicles and special items above average, and the number of invaders killed leaps to almost 700.

In the 11th attack on #Kyiv this month, all 18 Iranian 'Shahed' attack drones were destroyed overnight.
In addition two more were shot down earlier near #Dnipro as well as a 'Merlin' drone.

President @ZelenskyyUa will arrive in #Japan today for his first ever appearance in person at a #G7Summit.
And a nice welcome gift awaits when he meets Joe Biden. The US President will announce another $375m worth of military aid including shells, anti-tank weapons and vehicles.

There is a realistic possibility that #Ukraine may 'lose' #Bakhmut then quickly regain it by continue to take the flanks, trapping the #Wagner troops advancing in the centre.
This was the scene in the #Donetsk town early this morning.

The size of #Ukraine's task to emerge from the Battle of #Bakhmut without losing territory, has been underlined by today's update from the UK Min. of Defence Intel update.
1000s more troops thrown into the battle by #Russia - the meat grinder is working overtime.

Yesterday I reported on explosions in #Mariupol'.
This morning it looks like #Russia's air defence is working on something in the occupied city on #Ukraine's southern coast.

India, Brazil and China will have to listen to #Ukraine's President today.

To the best of my research it's a year today since the first bombs hit #Bakhmut
This was the first video I posted about the town, from 24 May 2022 when #Bakhmut was still a supply town for #Ukraine forces at the front.
12 months later #BakhmutHolds

This could be worth watching today in #Georgia.
@NeneOriginal spotted this story where the sanctioned family of #Russia's FM Lavrov appear to be preparing for a wedding. Kvareli Lake resort denied the reports.

No panic in #Moscow but everyone's wondering how, and why, a drone's been found at a university in the centre of the city.
#Russia's police have arrived at the Academy of Water Transport.
Security guards found it this morning. The drone had a camera attached.

#Bakhmut' again now...
This highlights just how deadly drones can be. Searching out the enemy and correcting fire.
These #Russia soldiers didn't flinch at the nearby explosions, not realising they were the target with only seconds left to live.
If they stay home they don't die.

At 5am rockets thundered into the city, with one house destroyed and around 10 others damaged.

Still problems with wildfires in many parts of #Russia
While the worst problems in #Sverdlovsk and #Kurgan may be over for the time being, smoke and flames can still be seen.
Meanwhile in #Novosibirsk this morning, another big blaze broke out.

This brave young woman laid flowers and signs “24.02.22 - Day of Shame” and “Forgive Us Ukraine” in #Krasnodar.
Yesterday she received notification she's been charged with discrediting the army.
Please remember the real resistance in #Russia.

I was tipped off about this delivery to #CAR (Central African Republic) this week.
The Albatross combat training jets are courtesy of #Wagner & #Russia. Soon, my source tells me, Su-25 (Frogfoot) fighter aircraft will be given to the country in exchange for raping natural assets

Zelenskyy and Rishi Sunak have just held another meeting at the #G7 summit.
An appalling lack of judgement from the @UN, one @antonioguterres should never have let happen.
Maria Lvova-Belova, indicted on war crimes, proudly boasts today of meeting Virginia Gamba, the UN's top figure on Children's Rights.
Heads should roll for this act alone.

Ludicrous claims made by #Russia today.
Apparently they intercepted 12 #StormShadow cruise missiles + #HIMARS rockers as well as a US GBU-3212 guided bomb
Who else reckons they have 2 tombolas: one to randomly select what missiles they will say they hit, the other how many?

Julian Assange's father did his son's case no good at all, surrounded by Nazi Z symbols & #Russia flags when he spoke at a "Freedom" rally in Sydney.

An emergency in #Russia
Authorities rushed to a club in #Krasnodar after a song containing the words "#Ukraine is not dead" was sung with gusto!
Former Eurovision entrant Verka Serduchka's song has now been removed from the playlist in the club which made a grovelling apology!

#Wagner's troops claim to have regained some of the ground in #Bakhmut' (RU: #Artemovsk) which #Ukraine took in the last few days.
#Russia reckons they defeated a "a large stronghold" of ZSU in the west of the town.

Prigozhin publishes a video claiming #Wagner troops have taken all of #Bakhmut.
He has made this claim a few times before of course, but this did seem likely and the priority for #Ukraine seems to have been to try to take both flanks and trap Prigozhin and his criminals.

News of a second railway attack in 2 days in #Tuva region. Again a cabinet by the track was burned out - this time it was a reserve battery.
Meanwhile in #Kazan three 14-15 year olds have been arrested for burning multiple relay cabinets earlier this week.

Both Dep Min of Defence, Hanna Malyar & East Forces spokesman Serhiy Cherevaty agree:
"This is not true. Our units are located in the SW part of the city. They defend positions and don't allow the enemy to capture them."

Prigozhin also said #Wagner will leave Bakhmut to #Russia's regular army in 5 days.
I can draw numerous conclusions from today's video claims and timing:
1) Prigozhin soon realised Bakhmut was as far as he could get and made its capture his stated goal

2) Prigozhin's aware of the danger of being trapped by #Ukraine's pincer movement of #Bakhmut & thinks 5 days is enough time to escape and then blame Shoigu if/when Ukraine surrounds the town
3) Wagner's needed in Sudan. Locals say a new brand name "Orchestra" will be used.

There's been a drone attack on #Kharkiv.
One of #Russia's 'Lancet' kamikaze UAVs hit "an infrastructure facility" in the Slobid district of Ukraine's second city.
It's believed they're targeting air defence.

The word is they've now fled to Saudi Arabia after their presence was exposed.

Parts of #Odesa are without power this evening - but officials say it's NOT due to an attack.
There was apparently an accident resulting in the emergency shutdown of equipment at one of the high-voltage substations in Odessa.
14,000 customers are without electricity.

It's not just #Odesa affected by power cuts though.
