Good morning, welcome to Daily Thread number 465 covering #Ukraine's heroic defence against #Russia's illegal aggression.
I've been here from (before) the start of war, reporting on (sometimes from) a country I've loved, worked + lectured in many, many times.
Overnight was quiet

The level of #Russia's losses in the last 24 hours remains in line with recent days. Another 690 killed in #Ukraine and we remain on course for 200,000 in mid-May.
Also note a very large 31 vehicle/fuel tanks.

British Intel today comments on the figures. They are slightly behind the 8-ball because as readers here will know, the trend is slightly up again. But yes, down from the insane numbers when #Russia was launching non stop attacks with cannon fodder.

2/ but in the south along the river & the direction of the city center, they have apparently made some progress (even if nothing certain can be said right now as we have only geoloc vids of "conflicts" areas.
if true they are 1km away to possibly make a junction along the river

3/ also there is some indications of some progress to the S-W of the football field in the South part of the city. Ru claims last 48h to have units passed the famous Marioupolska street seems confirms.
but (in the orange area) there is no other proves than small Ru units for now

It's a wet and windy start to the week where I am, hope it's better where you are.
In #Kyiv + #Bakhmut it's around freezing now (9am) but some very mild days and nights mean a lot of mud on the frontlines later in the week in #Ukraine
It's Day 383 of #Russia's war, here's the 🧵

One thing from yesterday I do want to flag up is this story and what will hopefully become a concerted effort to ban athletes from #Russia from the Olympic Games.

1/ Operational situation update/ #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on March 5, 2023
#RussianArmy this week tried to push their tiny advantages here & there as said earlier.
But as we speak, out of #Bakhmut, nothing is really going on "well" for them anywhere.

3/ to push to 2 main directions, as they clearly want to push the #UAarmy out of #Dvorichna, #Hryanykivka (first) but also to the south in the outskirts of the forest near #Synkivka then they would push through by P79 and try to take into a pincer movement the city of #Koupiansk

For most, it's all eyes on #Bakhmut' in Donetsk region.
Previously an insignifcant town probably fewer than 1% outside #Ukraine had heard of before #Russia's illegal invasion.

Each day #Ukraine releases figures for the numbers of Russian soldiers killed and equipment destroyed.
Invariably it's lower at weekends. So today's numbers (covering Saturday's losses) are lower across the board. I'm wondering if a couple of units don't report at weekends?

🔴 Oleh Syniehubov, the head of #Kharkiv Oblast Military Administration, wrote that on the morning of February 20, at approximately 5:00 a.m., the #Russians shelled the #Kupiansk district. A private residential building was destroyed in the village of Novoosynove.
Preliminarily, a woman may be under the debris. Rescuers are working on the spot.
In the village of Kurylivka, the buildings of an agricultural enterprise were damaged as a result of shelling. A large-scale fire broke out. Also in the morning, the enemy shelled the village of Strilecha, #Kharkiv district, wounding 2 civilians.

What happened is as i said in S-West #Bakhmut to #TchassivYar it was only scouting & probing and they were destroyed easily.

3/ went "alone" to try to do something major, just because certainly #Prigozhin gave direct orders... but they were not supported from a joint forces ops with regular Ru army.. so they effing "failed". in Some places they even withdraw..

2/ Quick recap.
first, about #Kupiansk #Svatove area
the general FEBA line remained quite the same for the last couple months even if extremely violent combats are happening everywhere & Ru trying to push back #UAarmy everywhere & vice versa. no real gain. only attrition for both

3/ the only thing that is quite "annoying" imo is that #UAarmy had to defend & destroyed (digesting) a very important "mass" of Vatniks there, & they r still enable to secure a famous natural line of defense that would have give them some "air" before Spring & next Ru offensives
⚡️1/n #Kreminna - lustrzane odbicie #Bakhmut. Wg niepotwierdzonych informacji Ukraińcy są już w pierwszych zabudowaniach miasta - zajęli tartak i szkołę z internatem.

Liebe Freunde,
über die Panzertruppe der #Ukraine konnte ich bei #Kupiansk von einem #T64-Kommandanten viel lernen. Ersatzteile für die Oldtimer sind Mangelware. Dringend wird zusätzlich modernes Gerät wie der #Leopard2 zur Verteidigung gebraucht.

Die Bedienung ist robust - besonders bei den - 15 Grad Celsius während unseres Treffens. Vielen Dank, dass ich die Steuerung des Turms und des Ladevorgangs so praktisch üben konnte. Die Panzertruppe leistet übermenschliches zur Verteidigung ihrer Heimat gegen #Putin|s Überfall.
Die #Ukraine wird mit den sowjetischen Modellen mehr und mehr in Probleme der Ersatzteilbeschaffung kommen, weil diese schlicht nicht produziert werden. Auch deswegen müssen die Demokratien der Welt endlich versorgbare #Kampfpanzer liefern. Die Ausbildung muss jetzt beginnen.
Liebe Freunde,
die #Invasionstruppen haben vor ihrer Flucht die befreiten Gebiete der #Ukraine großflächig vermint. Es kann nicht geerntet und nicht gesät werden. Gerät und Ausbildung zur Entfernung der Minen haben hohe Priorität für die Gebiete um #Lyman und #Kupiansk.

Hier kann #Deutschland mit anderen Staaten viel leisten, um die riesigen Landstriche, die von Minen und Artilleriegranaten überzogen sind, wieder in einen bewirtschaftbaren Zustand zu bringen. Das hilft den Einwohnern und Landwirten vor Ort. Das hilft aber auch der Welternährung.
Es ist diese Brutalität und Menschenverachtung, die die Ukrainer motiviert sich zu verteidigen. #Russland verstößt - etwa mit Antipersonenminen - gezielt gegen internationale Konventionen. Niemand will unter der Herrschaft dieser #Kriegsverbrecher stehen.

In 2014 the Terrorist State was actually covertly invading #Crimea while hosting the Winter Olympics.
And don't forget FIFA let Russia host the last WC despite waging war.
