It's Friday and the war in #Ukraine never stops.

Today I'll try to find out what really happened in #Crimea while #Russia bombs🇺🇦again

Only just realised I made a typo on the day number. Yesterday was Day 176, today is the 177th day of the illegal war.

Still nothing 100% confirmed from #Crimea after a lot of activity last night.

In both #Kerch and #Sevastopol the occupiers say they shot down🇺🇦drones to explain explosions.

Many sources say the main Belbek airport was hit as 4 very loud bangs rang out

It is generally accepted though that #Ukraine took out one of #Russia's ammo bases near the border.

Two villages were evacuated by #Belgorod authorities after the cache was struck near the village of #Timonovo - this evidence was too hard to conceal.

The fact #Ukraine's Presidential Adviser Oleskiy Arestovych openly trolled #Russia almost immediately as the drama unfolded in #Crime and #Belgorod, increases the likelihood this was a coordinated multiple-strike by Kyiv.

In occupied #Kherson big losses reported for #Russia

#Ukraine's South command says it again hit Kakhovskyi bridge by Kakhovka hydroelectric plant

In 4 strikes in the area, they claim destruction of:
73 🇷🇺 troops
3 tanks
4 launchers
1 air defence radar
5 armoured vehicles
Ammo
In #Mykolaiv, the Mayor this morning has confirmed "powerful explosions"

The city also seems to have been hit before midnight as several powerful explosions rang out in #Nikolaev.

However, unusually, no photos or videos from either "attack" posted yet.

#StopRussia
⚡️Breaking⚡️

#Kharkiv is under attack right now.
It's virtually a nightly occurrence. The north east city has been the subject of the heaviest attacks in recent weeks.

#Kharkov #StopRussia
#RussiaIsATerroristState
It seems at least 3 missiles have hit #Kharkiv.
Another video - this time the moment of one of the missiles arriving in the city.

The image has to be pixelated in line with Martial Law.

#StandWithUkraine #Kharkov
Another video from #Kharkiv.
This is from strikes on the city - also reports of one attack in the #Kharkov region.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
The all-clear has been sounded in #Kharkiv.

#Kharkov mayor Terekhov's initial update states there were blows in the Kyivsky, Osnovyansky + Nemyshlyansky districts.

A residential building was struck, without casualties, while there's a fire after "infrastructure" was hit.
Occupiers in #Donetsk say a woman was killed by shelling in #Horlivka.

* Caution - Video shows a body covered with a sheet *
Earlier I reported on the attack on #Mykolaiv.

First light has brought the first picture.
Again, #Russia has targeted the historic Petro Mohyla university.

#Nikolaev #StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
Russian occupiers are getting edgy in #Crimea

On the outskirts of #Sevastopol new roadblocks/checkpoints occurred.

#StopRussiaNOW #StandWithUkraine
#Kramatorsk has also been shelled by #Russia this morning.

The targets are educational institutions. No casualties reported.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
Today an exceptionally high number of Russian soldiers reported to have died. Also a massive amount of vehicles destroyed.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
After the secret filming inside the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant at #Enerhodar, the Russians suddenly admit its military IS inside the plant.

Minister Sergey Rybakov says it's "to guarantee that a Chernobyl scenario will not be implemented" 🤡

He's right. More fossil fuels bought from #Russia means more cash for The Kremlin's war. More destruction, more death and even worse for the environment.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState

#Kharkiv - the moment when you look for where you left your car the night before😂😂

#Kharkov #Ukraine #StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
Reports in #Kursk region of #Russia that it was attacked by drones today.

The usually reliable TG channel Baza exclusively revealed 5 bombs were dropped in 2 separate incidents.

A border guard was injured and cars damaged.
No photos or evidence.
#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
The death toll in the attack on a dormitory in #Kharkiv has risen to 21.

In total six bodies were discovered in the rubble, which has just been cleared, 30 hours after the attack.

Nine people were rescued, including two children.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine #Kharkov
The Secretary General of the @UN arrived in #Odesa.
It's his first visit to #Ukraine's largest port.

#Odessa #StandWithUkraine
The President of #Kazakhstan has arrived in #Russia.

After some of his recent statements and actions, I'd advise President Tokaev to avoid cups of tea and not stand near any windows.
He is meting Putin in Sochi - let's see if he still says the same after Kremlin pressure.
Awaiting news from occupied #Kherson region

More explosions reported on social media by locals in #NovaKakhovka in the last few minutes, but could be supersonic aircraft.
Recently #Ukraine has attacked the bridges by the #Kakhovka hydroelectric plant

#NovayaKakhovka #StopRussia
It looks like #Ukraine has found something interesting in the Kievskyi district of #Donetsk.

Coordinated strikes on a target a little earlier.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine️
#UN chief @antonioguterres insists electricity generated at the Russian-held #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant belongs to #Ukraine

Speaking in #Odesa, Mr Guterres reacting to rumours #Russia was may cut the power from Ukraine's grid said "This principle must be fully respected."
"Darwin awards" new candidate.

Some clever Russian soldiers messed around with a drone, filming their camp...

But forgot to wipe the memory card, lost control of the drone, Ukraine captured it and the memory card showing them where in #Mykolaiv region the enemy was!

#Nikolaev
#Russia announced it will stop pumping any gas to Europe through its Nord-Stream pipeline at the end of the month.

Gazprom has announced it needs to carry out maintenance and supplies are being stopped for 3 days from 31 August.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Turns out Macron's been calling Vova again...

#Russia's state news agency released details of Putin's conversation with the French President, with The Kremlin taking the opportunity to give the Russian version of what's happening at the nuclear plant.

This #Ukraine news organisation reckons Putin sent Erdogan to L'viv to try to get a ceasefire.

The Turkish and Russian Presidents met recently in Asia before Erdogan headed to Ukraine. It's thought #Russia wants a break "to restore combat capability"

24tv.ua/rezultati-pere…
A whole load of new aid coming #Ukraine's way.

The United States is set to announce $775m worth of equipment including drones and "mine resistant" vehicles.

16 new Howitzer rocket launchers will also be part of the deal to help #StopRussia

apnews.com/article/russia…
An NGO based in #Ukraine has asked #Switzerland's government to investigate a possible war crime on one of its citizens

Journalist Guillaume Briquet was wounded in #Mykolaiv region in March. His car, with Swiss plates + "PRESS" written on it was attacked

swissinfo.ch/por/queixa-apr…
Occupiers in #Mariupol are finally getting around to demolishing some of the buildings they ruined.

It's very likely hundreds, maybe thousands of bodies, were never humanely recovered. Easy to hide the war crimes with no-one watching you.
#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine
A rare glimpse of some of the thousands of wounded Russians heading home from #Ukraine.

They're the lucky ones, escaping with their lives intact in this senseless and illegal war launched by #Russia.

Hello on Day 810 of the war in Europe.

#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:

I have to start today's news with all-time record numbers of losses suffered by #Russia in the last 24 hours, according to #Ukraine's figures.

1,740 invaders eliminated on Sunday and for the first time, the projected date of reaching 500,000 victims is now before June. Image

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.

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.

11 April 2024 - Day 778 of #Russia's war in Europe.

And Thursday's daily🧵 starts with another large scale missile attack on #Ukraine.

The air raid warning has just been switched off, but a lot of damage has been done as allies, especially the U.S. fail the Ukrainian people.

#StandWithUkraine

Welcome to Sunday morning.
I'm starting early for the daily thread on Day 760 of #Russia's full invasion of its peaceful and sovereign neighbour #Ukraine.

There is a big danger of another missile attack from Russian aircraft. Follow for all the news all day (and night!)
It proved another marathon thread (almost 70 posts) on Saturday with the consequences of the #Kransogorsk terrorist attack dominating the agenda.

Playing catch-up? Click and scroll from the start, right here:
Across #Ukraine, millions are on tenterhooks. Anyone asleep will soon be woken by air alarms, with monitors sensing launches of cruise missiles from #Russian planes.

Meanwhile attack drones are also causing problems. Explosions recently in #Lviv but these seem to be air defence
