Day 433 is upon us.
The 433rd day of #Russia's 3-4 plan to take #Kyiv and all of #Ukraine within 10 days.
#EATP Everything According To Plan!

Tuesday's news will appear in this thread, updated in real time; yesterday's news can be found here:

First incredibly sad news that two volunteers from #Canada have been killed at the front.

Kyle Porter, 27, of Calgary, + 21yo Cole Zelenco of Ontario were both serving with Ukraine's International Legion.

They gave their lives for freedom. RIP

Here's the British daily intel update (I attached the document today!)

Seems London is playing catch-up with last week's news I brought you at the time.
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

During the night I was bought a virtual coffee by Mr ND. Thank you sir for supporting my work.

Artillery systems and cruise missile destroyed by #Ukraine are the only numbers significantly above the daily mean in the morning report by #Kyiv.

#Russia losing fewer than 500 men in the last 24 hours, which is lower than late, but about the average for the whole war.

I may have a new hero!
Leonid Yakovlevich Gozman is a liberal in #Russia and a former colleague of murdered Boris Nemtsov in the Union of Right Forces.

He tells it like it is in #Ukraine.
Criminals running "DPR" + "LPR"
Nothing bad happened under Ukraine rule in #Sloviansk

There were reports this morning of a single "boom" similar to a military explosion, in #Melitopol'

I've been hoping for more info, but as of yet nothing further to report.

#Russia's forces/collaborators in the occupied town in #Zaporizhzhia region are targeted by #Ukraine.

Getting #Eurovision vibes yet?

#Ukraine's entry, two-piece "Tvorchi" departed #Ukraine for #Eurovision2023, being held in #Liverpool.

The departure board says destination Eurovision Song Contest!
#SlavaUkraini

I reported late last night on explosions in #Kramatorsk.

We can now see the damage. The target seems to have been this school complex, but #Russia missed, leaving a big hole in the field and a lot of smashed windows.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

#BakhmutHolds
... but there's not much left of the town after #Russia's terrorist scorched-earch policy.

(Volume down!)

#Russia refers to WWII as the "Great Patriotic War", pretending it started in 1941, because from '39-'41 they colluded with the Nazis.

Victory Day on 9 May is massive for Russia.
It used to be the biggest holiday in #Ukraine too, but look at the fall in popularity of 1 + 9 May:

Postcard from #Sviatohirsk (RU: #Svyatogorsk)

Just 25km (15 miles) due north of #Sloviansk, it's another small town destroyed by #Russia's shelling.

Support #Ukraine now! Don't let the Russian World visit your country.

Just been told that this video is not very recent. But still very relevant.

Leonid just needs to add the #Russia-installed leaders of partially occupied #Kherson and #Zaporizhzhia.

Anyone else having trouble seeing my posts?
I've had a couple of followers say I'm not showing up again in their timelines.

New followers only 5 yesterday and day before, around 30-40 the 5 days before that.

Let's interact, retweet, reply, boost pro-🇺🇦 accounts please.

#Crimea. Could be interesting.
But remember could be an accident or #Russia's troops training.

#India's having a good war.

The country continues to deal in blood money, with extreme profits buying #Russia's cheap oil and reselling to the west.

Bloomberg notes for the first time Russian oil to India in April exceeded the total sent to Saudi Arabia and Iraq combined.

They're getting twitchy in #Moscow.

Police have arrested the 39 year old driver of this car, who says he covered a dent in the bumper and it was "an accident" that it happened to be in the colours of #Ukraine's 🇺🇦🤣👌

But what law has he broken? Insane.

Dating app #Tinder has decided to quit #Russia.
Its app will cease to function after 30 June according to the company.

#StopRussia

Police in #Russia have video of the guys who posted photos of #Ukraine's Intelligence Chief around #Moscow. The signs said "Our President" alongisde Kyrylo Budanov's pic.

Russia says the guys were paid by Ukraine.

#StopRussia

Finally more details on that explosion in #Melitopol'

#Russia's occupiers say "an attempt has been made on the life" of the deputy head of the regional office of Internal Affairs.

An explosive device was planted near the gate.
The unnamed man was hospitalised with injuries.

It's 9 years today since the catastrophe in #Odesa which saw 48 people killed.
Most died in a fire at the Trades Union building.

#Russia would like you to believe this was murder by🇺🇦
The reality is #Odessa's Police Chief colluded with armed 🇷🇺thugs, then fled to Russia

If you want to know more about the #Odesa/#Odessa tragedy, this is a very detailed report from 2020.

khpg.org/en/1588256904

#Russia claims it has killed #Ukraine's Commander of the Territorial Defence Forces, Ihor Tantsyura.

#Wagner owner Prigozhin says at 13:25 today, his armoured car was destroyed as it headed to #Bakhmut, although the information needs confirming.

More attacks happening in #Ukraine

Awaiting details of an explosion reported in #Zaporizhzhia, but we do now know that 3 civilians were killed + 5 injured by #Russia's bombs in #Kherson region.

Aerial bombs hit an island near the village of Veletenske.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

Oops, a minor scandal at a school in #Astrakhan in #Russia.

Ahead of Victory Day celebrations, parents were asked to send photos/documents of relatives who took part in the war.

But some sent photos of their husbands killed on duty in the #Ukraine war. Embarrassing! #TruthHurts

#RussiaOnFire

A huge fire in the village of #Novosaratovka on the outskirts of #StPetersburg.

A whole host of gear went up in flames at this industrial zone, including four buildings and two truck-cranes.

Three people were rescued from burning cabins.

Thanks to Nene, Andy and Carolynn for story suggestions today. DMs open.

Fearing an outright #Olympics ban, #Russia's Sports Minister Oleg Matytsin proposes holding the "BRICS Games" in Russia next year.

If it happens, any athlete attending should be banned for participating in unsanctioned events.
#Paris2024

There was some "air defence" action in #Crimea a little earlier. It may have been this which the sensors picked up.

Headline on "news" agency in #Russia:

"The Russian authorities will do everything to ensure that life in the new regions returns to normal" Vladimir Putin said.

So, you're retreating back to 1991 borders then Vova? #GoodwillGesture!

@Marina_LondonUK

Earlier today I decided not to publish a video of a young teen in #Yalta, #Crimea when asked if he was scared of a #Ukraine counterattack said he was "for Ukraine"

He's already been arrested and forced to make an apology to the citizens and country of #Russia and Putin.

The fear is what will happen to the boy now the cameras are off.

#CrimeaIsUkraine #КримцеУкраїна #КрымэтоУкраина

Almost #RussiaOnFire

Occupied #Crimea - this fire was spotted near Shkilne and Arkadevka villages in the #Simferopol district.

They reckon it's just two outbuildings and hay burning.🤔

As part of #Eurovision2023, today in Liverpool saw the unveiling of a new statue.

The #Ukraine Peace Monument will be moved to Ukraine when it is safe to do so.

Another successful sabotage on #Russia's railways.

20 wagons are reported to have overturned of a train pulling around 70. ONce again it's in the #Bryansk region, near the Snezhetskaya station.

Three explosions on the tracks were reported.
#StopRussia

2/2

There's also a video from the scene in #Bryansk oblast, but it doesn't reveal anything further.

Again, a well targeted attack. No-one injured, but a big blow for #Russia's war effort and ability to transport things to the front lines in #Ukraine.

Just been listening to an excellent BBC radio investigation into the murky world of #Russia's oil and who's profiting.

A mystery company "Gatik Ship Management" has amassed at least 50 ageing tankers to beat sanctions, but nobody knows who they are:

bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

2/2

Among those profiting, quite legally, are American and British insurers.

Since the BBC started its investigation into #Russia's sanctioned oil, the US has suddenly dropped many of the Gatik tankers from its list.

…list.maritimeintelligence.informa.com/LL1144635/Dark…

UPDATE:

Governor of #Bryansk region says "an explosive device went off near the Snezhetskaya railway station" causing this:

It's now reported sulphur and nitrates have spilled from the overturned wagons. Other cars of the train appeared to contain scrap metal or were empty.

A drone has dropped a bomb on a "construction site" near Ales village of the #Belgorod region, just 1-2km from the border with #Ukraine.

#Russia says it was a #Ukraine drone and a 46-year-old man suffered concussion.

It's believed Russians were erecting defence structures.

Explosions in the #Kyiv region are only air defence shooting down objects according to local officials.

#StandWithUkraine

There are also reports of explosions in #Zaporizhzhia and #Dnipro right now.

This photo was posted on social media in #Dnipro. I can't guarantee it's from this evening, but it seems likely.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

Drones and explosions seen and heard in #Dnipropetrovsk a few minutes ago.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine

#Ukraine soldier "Lyutoy" had a lucky escape during recent shelling of #Avdiivka - but his car did not escape the carnage.

The town in #Donetsk region is still standing in #Ukraine hands despite being fired on multiple times everey single day.
#HeroiamSlava

#Azovstal - another ruin, testament to the valiant battle staged here by defenders of democracy and their country.

#Russia is using the complex in #Mariupol as some sort of military base now according to locals.
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

An unwelcome end to the day in #Ukraine.

A drone has been shot down in #Dnipropetrovsk, while in #Zaporizhzhia S-300 missile(s) are said to have been intercepted and neutralised.

No reports yet of any of #Russia's missiles or UAVs hitting targets.

Wow, a late night gift. Thank you so much @gq52.
Good timing, I need a coffee now after this unexpected extra work as #Ukraine fends off another missile attack.

Ko-fi.com/home/coffeesho…

Last post of this thread is from #Zaporizhzhia where there's a photo of some damage on the ground.

It's not known if this is a downed UAV or a drone hit its target.
