Things reaching boiling point in the #Donbas with danger for both sides and mass destruction once again.
Most British media this morning leading with news of @ZelenskyyUa's comments that east #Ukraine has been destroyed by #Russia
An update this this story for starters, where unfortunately the death toll is now 12 in #Severodonetsk alone, 50 houses destroyed

While the frontline in the east is described as "frozen" by some, it's not true. Not much movement with Ukraine generally holding strong
But there is one area of concern with a few thousand #Ukraine troops at risk of being surrounded as Russia opened up a spur in #Luhansk region

A little more now from #Enerhodar where I wrote about the demonstration by fire crews.
It followed the kidnapping of the Head of the Fire Dept Vitaliy Troyan.
Doctors also joined the peaceful protest, but #Russia answered in the only way it knows:

Residents of #Odesa report at least 3 explosions, some say more.
It may be that there were subsequent explosions after the initial missile strike, which was on the port of #Odessa.

#Russia may have taken two more villages in the #Donbas and the invaders look to have had quite a successful day.
Vyskryva is in #Luhansk region but sits right on the border with #Donetsk oblast, while Lypove is just inside Donetsk. Both are now occupied according to Russia.

Back to #Odesa/#Odessa and we begin to see the size of the bomb which hit the city a short time ago
Looks like a clear answer to the @UN and other agencies pleading with Putin to allow food to leave #Ukraine.

#Ukraine's armed forces released an edited video earlier today showing various hits on Russian equipment.
Impossible to verify when this was shot, but Ukraine claims it destroyed 12 tanks and 8 armoured vehicles and other gear.

All major (and most minor) roads have been successfully de-mined in the whole of #Kyiv state.
Work was expected to take two months but was completed in just 45 days.
Electricity has been restored everywhere.

The President of #Ukraine says up to 90% of their pilots died in the battle for #Mariupol'.
Describing them as heroes, @ZelenskyyUa told how helicopter pilots knew they were risking their lives to try to deliver food and supplies to the #Azovstal steel plant.

#Russia says the last troops left the #Azovstal plant this evening, and that's the message I got from contacts with friends who were inside the steel works.
A video was published - I am posting only screenshots. The terrorists clearly "filtering" based on tattoos.

In total this week 2,439 #Ukraine soldiers holed up in #Azovstal laid down their arms.
Today the last 531 troops came out, including Commanders.
How many days before Russians "find" Nazi literature in the steelworks? Maybe they'll dust off their copy of Mein Kampf again!
