Friday was quite a busy one, unfortunately the news led by another Terrorist Attack by #Russia.
But there was also the surprise of seeing Prigozhin call for an end to the war, and lots more interesting stuff.
Catch up here:

This concurs with most experts' views as the invaders continue to build defences in the Occupied Territories.
#Russia's losses today well down on recent days.
Indeed equipment losses are probably as low as I can remember since 24 February 2022.
I'm sure @ragnarbjartur can confirm with his excellent daily charts!
One person's been injured overnight in #Sumy region.
#Russia fired grad rockets at the village of #Bilopillya, hitting a farming company.

However no further details since, and it could be training of new arrivals from #Russia.

One of the biggest Russian propagandists to write in English has an interesting background and is definitely NOT where she pretended to be from.
Two more bodies have been retrieved from the ruins of the apartment block in #Sloviansk.
11 people have now died in this Terror Attack by the nation which holds the Presidency of the @UN Security Council.
Nothing to say @antonioguterres?

This video clip is from south of #Kazan.
Locals say it's from near the tank training ground.
Friendly fire anyone?

Shame on @amazon @Google and @NatGeo
All offer maps showing Occupied Territories in #Ukraine as Russian.

#Russia claims it has captured "two (more) quarters of the northern and southern outskirts of #Artemovsk (#Bakhmut in Ukrainian)"
Reports of #Ukraine troops retreating may well be true, though The Kremlin admits fierce battles continue for 🇷🇺's Wagner and Airborne Forces (VDV).
A mother and daughter have been murdered by #Russia's shelling in #Kherson.
The 48 and 28 year olds were walking near the school in the Tavriiskyi area of the city when killed.

This looks very much like #Ukraine hitting a Russian base in #Ribizhne.
Ammo, weapons, or a mix of both, exploding at will in the #Luhansk town.
Prigozhin "personally ordered the execution of prisoners of war of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. There are more than 20 such cases."
The founder of Gulagu.net, Vladimir Osechkin said they will publish the full story on Monday, based on testimony from an ex-Wagnerite.
LOL - nice to see the #Ukraine flag flying right in the centre of St Petersburg.
This is the Tauride Palace where a session of the CIS Inter-Parliamentary Assembly is taking place.
Seems no one told them Ukraine left the post Soviet relic 5 years ago!
Painting of Easter eggs is especially popular in #Ukraine and #Russia.
Seems the Ukrainian soldiers are preparing some seasonal gifts for the invaders.
#EasterGrenades!
#RussiaOnFire
A grassfire is raging out of control in #Tatarstan according to some Telegram channels in #Russia.
I cannot verify this - I just hope authorities are trying not to pretend this is the reason for the smoke in #Kazan, where some speculate about Russian troop deaths
