It's Wednesday, Day 385 of the war, #Ukraine's existential fight for its' existence.

Here's another daily thread documenting #Russia's ongoing invasion, war crimes and all the news, all the time, updated throughout the day.

If you can support my work, see the link in my bio💙💛
There was a lot of important news on Tuesday.
More awful shelling and missiles fired at #Ukraine citizens. An American drone downed by #Russia's air force, a car bomb attack in occupied #Melitopol and a new #Wagner cemetery.

Missed it? Click here:

Firstly reports of explosions in #Sloviansk - probably we will get more details in the morning.

But, while #Bakhmut holds, #Russia is creeping closer to Sloviansk and #Kramatorsk. Confirmed that the invaders have taken the village of #Zaliznyanske, north-west of Bakhmut.

A #Chisinau in #Moldavia manifestanti filo #russi legati al partito dell'oligarca Sohr, arrivati in città in colonne di autobus, hanno tentato di assaltare il palazzo del governo.
Questo non riesce a capire le domande del giornalista moldavo, perché parla solo russo.

È esattamente quello che successe a #Kharkiv il 3 Marzo 2014, quando una colonna di autobus con targa di Belgorod portò centinaia di agitatori dalla #Russia che assaltarono il palazzo del governatore dell'oblast.

La persona che si arrampicò sul tetto del palazzo per togliere la bandiera #ucraina e issare quella #russa fu identificato come un moscovita, arrivato in città allo scopo e alloggiato in un albergo vicino al palazzo. Oggi è un propagandista e ha un canale YouTube.

Hello again. It's Day 369 of the war. #Russia's 10-day war on #Ukraine that is.

Hope your week starts well. It wasn't a great start for Ukrainians with a drone attack as the new week began, but as I write no feared cruise missile attack although there is a warning as I type...
Sunday proved to be quite a newsworthy day concerning #Ukraine, meaning more work for me, including a 4 page essay for Elon Musk - still no reply yet!

To see what you missed, take a scroll back through daily thread number 368 right here:

#StopRussia
Much lower losses again for #Russia in the figures published daily by #Ukraine.

Is it the weekend lag or a case of fewer suicidal waves of Russkiy lemmings trying to take #Bakhmut, #Vuhledar et al?

Looks pretty certain now to hit 150k dead soldiers on the first day of spring. Image

It's Day 242 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine - you know that war where Moscow bragged it would be in Kyiv in 3 days and have control on Day 4.

This is the daily news thread of all the relevant developments as we complete the 8th month of the illegal conflict.

#StandWithUkraine️
A lot of interesting news came in late last night, including explosion and deaths at a gunpowder factory in #Russia and freedom for two more villages in #Kherson.

If you want to catch up on yesterday's stories, here's the start of Saturday's thread:

The #UK update today takes a look at the "Wagner Line" of defence.

I covered this a few days ago and Whitehall also concludes #Russia has accepted that its defence needs to be way behind current front lines.

#Moldova - Today the Moldovan President Maia Sandu acknowledged that the #Moldovan military was not combat ready. She said, ""For 30 years, the Moldovan army has been left without equipment, without military equipment and combat-ready means. Now we are aware of the consequences,"
The #Moldovan military is one of the smallest in the region with only 6,000 active soldiers and 58,000 reservists. The Armed Forces of #Moldova had an annual budget of $43 Million or just 0.37% of GDP in 2020. Unlike #Ukraine, whose military budget $5.94 billion or 4% of GDP.
In addition, #Moldova has a strict neutrality clause in its constitution that does not allow the deployment of armed forces of other states on its territory. This means any sort of defensive alliance would be unconstitutional. Because of this, Moldova has no plans to join #NATO.

Israel’s Consul Itzhak Kagan saved a group of women and children from spending the night at freezing cold in #Palanca crossing #Moldova by organizing a bus that took them safely at midnight to #Chisinău . Thank you David!❤️🙏💪
Like David in this picture, out in the border from our office in Chișinău, @IsraelMFA sent representatives to all of Ukraine’s borders across Eastern Europe to help with the refugee effort.
The Refugees hardly got out from the war zone in #Mykolayiv. Many of these groups manage to get to the borders with the assistance of @GeorgiiLogvynskyi Member of 🇺🇦 Parliament who coordinates rescue inside #Ukraine on behalf of the government.

I am in Moldova and will use this thread to share stories, videos, and photos while on the ground here.
DAY 1: Started the day linking up with @UnitedHatzalah, an Israeli-based group of doctors/volunteers. Over 50 people from the org are now on the ground and are running a massive operation shuttling refugees from the border to their makeshift base… a temple in #Chisinău.
Rabbi Saltzman of Chișinău has opened the doors to his temple to provide shelter, medical attention, & food to refugees as well as space for @UnitedHatzalah (give them a follow) to work on logistics + operations. He is now sleeping in his car after giving his own bed to refugees.
