Welcome to Wednesday's daily thread on #Russia's attack on #Ukraine.

It's Day 168 of the war, but all the buzz and chat is about what happened yesterday in #Crimea. Here's the link to yesterday's thread.

We are still no nearer knowing the real reason for the devastating blow to #Russia on #Crimea

#Ukraine again denies it's anything to do with them, but no-one believes the RU version of an "accident"

To get an idea of the force of the blasts, watch the last few seconds of this:
13 people are dead after shelling in #Dnipropetrovsk region this morning. 11 more civilians are injured.

12 died when around 40 grads hit the centre of #Maryanets near Nikopol. Two schools and more than 20 high rise apartment blocks were hit.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
It's inescapable to wonder if the shelling of residential areas will increase because of @amnesty's report.

Did the discredited NGO give Putin a war crimes pass?

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
Explosions in the #Russian city of #Yeysk today too.

As you can see it's the closest city to #Mariupol'. But it's a long way from any #Ukraine positions.

Looks like an oil terminal is on fire.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Russia has just admitted 9 planes were destroyed at the #Saki airfield in #Crimea.

That's up from zero yesterday 🤣

I still think it's a lot worse than that for the Terrorist state.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
#Russia's security forces have again raided the home of the Producer who protested against the war on prime time TV.

Marina Ovsyannikova has already been fined several times for "discrediting the army"

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Occupiers in #Kherson have just claimed "The Armed Forces of Ukraine again tried to shell the bridge across the Dnipro near #Kherson, no new damage"

Maybe dreaming again? #Ukraine has been hitting bases but not the bridge
Speaking of #Kherson - partisans are still active.

The Resistance in #Henichesk (RU: #Genichesk) has been active through the night.

#SlavaUkraini #KhersonIsUkraine #RussiansGoHome
#Russia has destroyed another residential building in #Vuhledar this morning. That's about 70km SW of #Donetsk city and near the frontline.

#StandWithUkraine️ #StopRussiaNOW
Britain's intel update is worth reading today.

There's a lot of recruitment desperately going on in #Russia as I've often written about.

But it "won't be decisive" according to London.

#Ukraine #PutinsWar
One of the few remaining honest reporting outfits in #Russia, @novaya_gazeta has been fined 350,000 rubles.

A court in Moscow ruled NG had "disseminated deliberately unreliable socially significant information under the guise of reliable reports"

#StopRussiaNow
The @washingtonpost joins the New York Times in saying #Ukraine WAS responsible for the attack on a Crimean airfield at Saky.

"The attack marks a sharp escalation and demonstrates the ability of UA forces to strike further behind Russian lines than previously thought."
Sorry about the lack of timely updates today - non stop tennis commentary is the reason!

It is a fairly quite day on the battlefield but that still death, destruction and many stories to catch up on.

#Ukraine's says it has downed a Russian attack jet:

facebook.com/NGUmainpage/po…
Today the first video has emerged of the damage #HIMARS caused to the Kakhovka Bridge in #Kherson.

Much focus has been on the Antonivskyi road route over the Dnipro, but this is almost as important by the Hydroelectric power plant.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Speaking of damage from #HIMARS - I have to wonder if they were really responsible for the immense destruction on #Russia's air base in #Crimea.

The amount of damage became clear today with new satellite photos giving us nice before/after comparisons.

#StopRussiaNOW
More explosions lighting up the night sky in occupied #Donetsk.

This us in Pyvzavod.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
Officials in Occupied #Donetsk say one person died and two were injured as a result of the shelling of #Pyvzavod.

The Russians also claim an ammonia pipeline was damaged and advise residents to stay indoors, seal apartments and breathe through gauze moistened with 5% mild acid.
Some significant financial news for #Ukraine today too.

Reuters reports $20 billion of foreign debt the country owes, has been frozen for two years.

With no payments now due on international bonds it means #Ukraine cannot default which would worsen the country's plight.
Supergroup @coldplay invited #Ukraine legend and @okeanelzy frontman @s_vakarchuk to join them on stage in Brussels.

Sviatoslav sang the OE hit "Obiymy" ("Hugs) with the British band.
Another act of sabotage in #Russia

A railway line has been damaged in #Kursk region. It's thought saboteurs tried to blow-up the Lgov-Sudzha line.

Just hours earlier in Kursk, someone tried to blow up a power line 20km from the Kursk nuclear power plant.

So confirmation of another attack on an oil refinery in #Russia, the second in 2 months at this partuicular site.

Day 803 of #Russia's full invasion continues. The war criminals are super confident, tossing away lives of the plebs and useful idiots from Asia, Africa + the Americas.

But #Ukraine fights hard for its existence and supplies filter through to the frontlines.
This is the daily🧵
Today is a holiday in most of the UK, so I allowed myself a later start (no school run!)

Coming up news of #Ukraine hitting a Rusdian boat...
But first the link to yesterday's thread, which turned out to be quite busy.

So straight to the seas around occupied #Crimea where the big news happened overnight.

One of #Russia's speedboats was taken out by #Ukraine, with its Intel releasing this video.

A Magura V5 naval drone was successful near Uzaka Bay in the west of the occupied territory.

Many across Europe celebrate a holiday today, the first day of May.

In normal times in #Ukraine it would be a big celebration, with Labour Day followed by Easter and Remembrance/Victory Day. But these are far from normal times. No respite from war. Welcome to the daily thread:
Tuesday saw #Russia's world bring more death to #Kharkiv and to #Odesa for the second time in two days - a video proving the sickening cluster bomb attack on the people the day before.

All yesterday's news can be found here if you missed anything:

Overnight #Ukraine's special services has launched another successful attack on #Russia's oil industry.

Drones attacked a refinery in #Ryazan.
The local governor admits drones attacked but makes no mention of hits to the plant.
