Hello everybody - let's get the show on the road for another week!

It's the original, the one & only daily🧵with all you need to know about what's happening in #Ukraine's defence against #Russia, which has reached day 446.

Catch up on Sunday's news here:
More very damaging losses for #Russia yesterday.

#Ukraine's figures show almost 7% of all destroyed artillery systems happened in the last 24 hours.

Vehicles, fuel tanks and special equipment also above the mean as well as killed soldiers.
#RussiansGoHome Image
The British update today questions #Russia's air defence.

It's always been a problem for Moscow after sending most of its domestic protection to #Ukraine, only to have to bring some back as #Kyiv shows more ability to hit long range targets.

Die Dumabgeordnete Irina Jarowaja fordert eine Verschärfung des Gesetzes gegen "#Russophobie". Künftig soll diese in #Russland strenger bestraft werden. Die Abgeordnete war früher Teil der liberalen Oppositionsplattform "Jabloko" ist aber später zur #Putin- Hardlinerin mutiert/1
Sie gehört inzwischen zu den aktivsten Dumabgeordnete u. ihre Gesetzesinitiativen laufen immer auf eine Einschränkung von Freiheitsrechten hinaus. Hintergrund ist u.a. die Ankündigung Polens künftig nicht mehr #Kaliningrad sondern die polnische Bezeichnung Królewiec zu nutzen/2
#Putin/s Sprecher Peskow sprach von "Russophobie an der Grenze zum Wahnsinn" - was nun genau diese "#Russophobie" sein soll, ist völlig unklar. Bereits jetzt kann so ziemlich jede kritische Äußerung als "Diskreditierung der russischen Armee" bestraft werden./Ende

Wednesday 10 May
Day 441 of this terrible war.
At least #Ukraine has woken relatively peacefully today in contrast to most recent days.

All the news on #Russia's invasion, all day in one thread. If you want to buy me a coffee please see my bio for the link💙💛
So y'day was another violent & busy day as #Russia celebrated Victory Day but with zero victory to salute in its illegal invasion of #Ukraine

More deaths by fire, setbacks in #Bakhmut and #Wagner being labelled terrorists by more countries. Catch up here:
#Russia's losses in the last 24 hours show a marked decrease in he amount of equipment destroyed compared to the recent trend.

However, #Ukraine is killing more and more soldiers as Russians continue kamikaze tactics in #Donetsk with the one resource they have plenty of: people. Image

#putin escalates by voicing his plans to deploy tactical nuclear weapons on #Belarusian territory.

It was planned well before. In 2020 #Lukashenko illegally seized power. In February 2022, he conducted an unlawful referendum that ditched the country's non-nuclear status. ⏬
putin voices a plan to modernize Belarusian aircraft to make them nuclear-capable and train Belarusian pilots to operate them. In December 2022, putin deployed, and in February 2023, the Belarusian reported that they started operating the #Iskander-M dual-capable missile systems.
On February 25, 2023, putin played an idiot linking his nuclear proliferation plans to armor-piercing rounds containing depleted uranium to be provided to Ukraine by the U.K.

Ein paar Gedanken zum gerade stattgefundenen #imzentrum und seinem Anlass (thread)

Der Krieg #Russland's gegen die #Urkraine ist nicht "nur einer von vielen", er ist von ganz besonderer Bedeutung für uns, aus zwei Gründen: 1/9
1.: Österreich verantwortet, gemeinsam mit Deutschland und vielleicht noch weiteren Staaten den Holocaust, den schlimmsten Genozid, den die Welt je gesehen hat. Daraus erwächst Verantwortung, nämlich: weitere Genozide zu verhindern, wo immer möglich. 2/9
Was #Russland in der #Ukraine tut, ist nicht einfach "Krieg", es ist bereits der erklärte (Versuch von) Genozid. Eine Nation, ein Volk, seine Kultur sollen nicht bloß besiegt, sondern *ausgelöscht* werden. Die Evidenz für diese Absicht ist überwältigend. 3/9

🚨🇵🇱🇷🇺 Attenzione.

Ministero della Difesa olandese: una formazione di tre aerei militari russi è stata intercettata da due caccia olandesi F-35 sopra la #Polonia e scortata fuori dall'area.

#Russia #UkraineRussianWar️
2/n
Il ministero della Difesa olandese ricostruisce l'accaduto spiegando che gli aerei, inizialmente sconosciuti, "si stavano avvicinando al territorio polacco della #NATO da #Kaliningrad". Dopo l'identificazione "si è scoperto che si trattava di tre velivoli: un russo IL-20M

Coot-A scortato da due Su-27 flanker". Gli F-35 olandesi hanno poi affidato la scorta ai partner della NATO, scrive il ministero, senza fornire ulteriori dettagli.

"Our imagination does´nt has any scenario left in which this could not be a targeted attack" @Tagesspiegel quotes a person involved in the assessment of the German gov regarding the incidents at the #Nordstream #pipelines in the #Balticsea

A first thread ⚠️ #Druckabfall
Yesterday, authorities acknowledged a decrease in pressure in both pipelines; first in NS2, later also in NS1. The 3(!) leakages are to be found in the East of Danish Bornholm (NS2), and also two leaks in the Northeast of the Island (NS1)
Two leaks are within the Danish Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), one is in the Swedish EEZ. Sea depth in the region is around 50m.

#Ukraine fights on.

If you want to scroll through yesterday's news, it's here:

#StandWithUkraine

The important thing to say is that President Putin is making his delayed (recorded) speech now about the future of the illegal war
Putin announced only a partial mobilisation, which is what I suspected.

So anyone who's on the reserve will be called up due to #Russia's shortage of cannon fodder.

The day started in bad, but predictable fashion for the people of #Kharkiv

Virtually on the stroke of midnight the new round of shelling began. This was just hours after the murderous attack on the city yesterday which killed five.

At least two people have been injured in the night-time attack on #Kharkiv (RU: #Kharkov)

Exact details have not been released, but the Governor Oleh Sinehubov confirmed a residential building in the centre has been hit.

Die #Ostsee (englisch: #BalticSea) hat als Meer, aus Sicht des Militärs, ganz andere und spezielle Eigenschaften als z.B. die Nordsee oder der Atlantik.
Hier geht es um die geographisch relevanten Eigenschaften der Ostsee, welche ich grob eingeteilt darstelle. 1/x
Dieses dient der Verdeutlichung der verschiedenen Bereiche und ist geographisch teilweise inkorrekt.
Die Ostsee ist insgesamt ein sehr flaches Meer mit einer maximalen Wassertiefe von ca. 450 Metern und einer durchschnittlichen Tiefe von ca. 50 Meter.

Es gibt viele Flachwasserbereiche und der Salzgehalt ist in großen Teilen sehr niedrig, teilweise aber mit abrupten Änderungen.
Die Ostsee ist in 4 Bereiche zu unterteilen:
1. #Kattegat (lila)
2. Zentrale Ostsee (grün)
3. Bottnischer Meerbusen (orange)

Welcome to Wednesday's coverage of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.

All the news that matters throughout the day in one handy thread.

This is Day 154 of #PutinsWar
The big news came at midnight #Ukraine time, when rockets started landing in #Kherson region and again on the Antonivskyi Bridge.

Several people uploaded videos to social networks:

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
The first news from #Kherson is not overly good for #Ukraine. Although the Antonivskyi bridge was hit, the structure still stands and is still passable.

#Russia's state new agency TASS says there is "no damage" which is highly unlikely.

This is the moment of impact

The @EU_Commission decided to lift the sanctions that prevented #Russia from transiting to #Kaliningrad.
What the hell? And how about "sanctions will not be lifted until Russian troops completely leave #Ukraine"? Are these empty words?
Instead of increasing the sanctions, the West began to lift it.
Canada gave #Russia a gas turbine & promised to maintain turbines for 2 years, which would allow #Putin to earn billions. Now, the EU has lifted the ban on the transit of sanctioned goods to #Kaliningrad. Are you ok?
Dear Lithuanians, dear @GitanasNauseda & @IngridaSimonyte, I urge you to stand your ground & avoid the recommendations of the @EU_Commission.
Destroy the track on which the transit to #Kaliningrad goes, or close it for repairs for a year. This will be your best gift to #Ukraine

Update #Ukraine .
Im Überblick:
- ukr. Truppen setzen schwere HIMARS-Angriffe fort, RUS bereitet Kontermaßnahmen vor;
- Iran soll angeblich "Hunderte" Drohnen an russische Truppen liefern;
- die EU gibt im Streit um die Kaliningrad-Transitsperre nach.

Ukrainische Truppen setzen ihre schweren HIMARS-Angriffe auf russische Positionen entlang der gesamten Frontlinie weiter fort.
In der Nacht zum Dienstag trafen HIMARS-Raketen ein Depot in Nova Kachovka und provozierten eine gewaltige Explosion.
#Ukraine
(2/25)
Was genau getroffen wurde, war zunächst umstritten.
Manche Quellen sprachen von einem Munitionsdepot, andere von "Salpeter-Lager", also im Prinzip Dünger.
Dass auch Dünger eine gewaltige Explosion verursachen kann, war bsp. in Beirut zu beobachten.
Manche vermuten beides zusammen
