Earlier #Sloviansk was badly hit, as I reported in yesterday's thread. Now hearing that the nearby village of #Yasnogorka/Yasnohirka has been badly hit.
Electricity is out and reports of casualties.
A little further on the road #Kramatorsk also reports another explosion
#Finland trolling Russian tourists.
I saw this earlier in Russian, now @AFP has the story in English.
When they cross the border one of the first photo-stops for many Russians is a music and water show - but now there's a twist💙💛
Enjoy!
#Kharkiv - one of the many arrivals to evade air defences in the north-eastern city.
It's reported here that #Ukraine Partisans in #Crimea are posting leaflets with the coordinates of "the next targets for the Armed Forces" and "Save your life - evacuate".
The Resistance names airbases and Sevastopol's Belbek international airport.
Occupying authorities in #Crimea claim the track has already been repaired and will undergo safety inspections. They hope to reopen the line this afternoon.
Meanwhile passengers are being transferred to buses to start (or complete) their journey to #Russia.
Read the translation in the speech by Putin.
Now remind me who invaded a European country?
Which country bombs its neighbour every day.
How many missiles in Russia?
#Russia's FSB just issued this statement:
"Ukrainian saboteurs on 4, 9 + 12 August blew up power transmission towers through which the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant supplies industrial facilities, transport, social infrastructure & the population of #Kursk and neighboring regions."
#Kharkiv has been attacked again this afternoon.
Under martial law, early videos have to be censored to avoid identification of locations until the authorities permit it.
Catching up with a few stories while I was at the tennis:
First, more sabotage inside #Russia, and again in the #Kursk region
The saboteurs chose a railway line which only carried freight. An IED which investigators say had "about 200 grams of TNT" was detonated under the rail.
#Russia has unexpectedly closed the #Crimea bridge. Drivers have been told all traffic is stopped until 06:00 in the morning.
#Ukraine sources say this is not a safety measure - more likely some of the top personnel are escaping to the mainland under cover of darkness.
Still no photos released from #Zhytomyr, bombed earlier.
#Ukraine says a military airfield was damaged when Russian Su-34 planes took off from Belarus, pretending to be on a training flight when they fired X-59 guided missiles on the city.
It's Friday! The weekend approaches.
It's also the 814th day of #Russia trying to destroy #Ukraine, its language, culture and people, and over 10 years since the first invasion.
For all the news on Day 814 keep clicking back here.
No coffees for 2 days - please help if you can.
Thursday was another busy one.
A day which saw Putin humiliated, #Ukraine attack #Crimea (again) and a load of other stories and videos.
Missed any of it? Just click here and scroll through the day's news:
#Ukraine, a democratic nation, desperate to keep it that way, remains under intense pressure from #Russia, an autocracy led by a despot and indicted war criminal.
All the news all day long in one handy thread. Read on..
#StandWithUkraine
Yesterday we only really had two stories, but they were big ones.
#Putin exiling & side-lining top names from the Kremlin.
And 25 years after the #Russia apartment bombings, 13 were killed in a new attack - but who did it?
Review the news here:
Hello and welcome to Day 807 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.
Each day documenting the news and war crimes committed by indicted war criminal Putin and his Moscow horde as the neo-imperialists try to steal more land and wipe out another culture.
Here's another daily thread...
As always, the quick link back to the starts of yesterday's thread for those who missed some, or all, of Thursday's developments.
And right at the end of the day we saw another oil target inside #Russia being hit by drones!
So confirmation of another attack on an oil refinery in #Russia, the second in 2 months at this partuicular site.
Pershiy Zavod is the largest refinery in the region - the main complex for the processing of commercial oil and gas condensate, and the capacity is 1.2m tons/yr
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.
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.
