Today's UK briefing documents the slow down in drone use by #Russia.
However large freight flights have recently been landing in Moscow from Tehran, so I'm fairly sure UAV stocks will be resupplied by now and on their way to #Ukraine.
The residents in the decimated satellite towns north of #Kyiv are taking things into their own hands as life, and normality, starts to return to the likes of #Borodianka#Bucha#Irpin
The occupied town of #Enerhodar is apparently without any power after what #Russia has described as "#Ukraine shells damaging the power lines" around the nuclear power plant.
Exactly as #Ukraine and some independent observers predicted for the past two weeks.
It's believed everyone escaped unharmed from this morning's attack on #Kharkiv.
Two rockets smashed into the city centre. One hit a 5-story apartment block, completely destroying three floors.
The second rocket hit the courtyard of a council building.
The group claiming sabotage of #Russia's railways reports that The Kremlin is having to reduce freight on the rails.
There's no way to verify the information (translation of the post below), but it is feasible that sanctions have led to an inability to repair many problems.
⚡️Breaking⚡️
Looks like the smoke in #Berdyansk may have been an attack on the Russian installed "Head" of the city.
Many locals saying his car was blown up.
A better video here - but is that small arms fire or other small explosions? Could be ammo being set off.
1/2 Extraordinary claims on a TV channel in #Dnipro
DN1 shows what's said to be a video of a zoom meeting on Day 3 of the war. In it Mayor of Dnipro, Boris Filatov, says his sources "from the other side" assure him Dnipro won't be bombed.
2/2
The claims come from a political journalist who posted it on Facebook (translation below)
#Dnipro Mayor Filatov is said to have been "waiting for the Georgia scenario" - #Ukraine would have to relinquish territory as Georgia did in the 2008 war.
Deep Fake? or Deep trouble?
⚡️Breaking⚡️
#Ukraine's General Staff says two more villages have been liberated.
They are #Novovoznesens'ke in #Kherson region, a full 5 miles/8km south of Vysokopillya which was re-captured yesterday
1/2 As we near the end of another day in #Ukraine, it's been perhaps the most encouraging of all 195 so far.
At least some territory has been reclaimed in #Kharkiv, #Kherson, #Donetsk AND even #Luhansk, according to exiled Governor Serhiy Haidai who says they have a "foothold"
2/2 In addition, big attacks on more Russian bases in most regions, including in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.
It was in the south of that region which saw a significant strike by #Ukraine patriots, with the Russian Head of ZP assassinated in a car bomb.
Ihor Terekhov confirmed "So far, we know about arrivals in Nemyshlyansk district. According to preliminary information, several cars and an industrial building are burning there."
The start of a new week and simultaneously almost the end of 167 weeks of Russia's attempt to liberate Ukraine from its leader and remove the country from maps.
It's Day 1167 of Putin's full invasion. Welcome to Monday's daily thread.
First the link back to Sunday's thread for those who were busy y'day
It started with Ukraine counting the cost of yet more strikes on civilians and infrastructure but there were more strategic hits on Russia during the day, incl a night attack on Moscow.
Day 1163 of Russia's war of choice, invading a peaceful neighbour.
Another bloody and murderous night in Ukraine, but the pressure is all on Russia today as Ukraine signs the minerals deal, the US (finally) continues its shift against Putin and the oil price dives
Here's THE🧵
Good morning and happy May (or MayDay).
I have to say a new month brings new optimism for Ukraine following the US/Ukraine agreement.
That was the biggest news story of a near 50-post thread.
It took me ages - least you can do is read it!😂
Day 1158 of the war in Europe.
This is the daily thread for Saturday 26 April, and as I mentioned last night, the anniversary of the Chornobyl disaster.
A later start today, sorry if I kept you waiting, but let's waste no more time...
Yesterday we saw Russia attack civilians of course, but we also probably also got a reminder of the power of Ukraine's Military Intelligence, as a Russian general and a weapons designer were both confirmed dead.
Hello at the start of another weekend, Day 1151 of the war in Europe.
Day by day the US paves the way for capitulation.
Trump may pretend there was no war in his first term, but his administration said it would never recognise Crimea.
This is THE daily thread for Saturday.
Here's the link for the start of yesterday's thread.
Visibility is still low - 15k views.
Plenty to get your teeth into.. 100 fleeing Russian refuseniks, tRUmp on the verge of failure, and of course the attacks on Ukraine.
Catch up here:
With even tRUmp slowly realising he's been played by Putin all along with no intent on peace, Russia has upped the aerial attack on its next targets for invasion.
Sumy, Kostiantynivka + Kupiansk feel the full force.
In the latter 10 glide bombs in one day with 5 people injured.
This is the start of THE daily thread covering all things Ukraine.
Reliable, accurate information for 1124 days as Russia and its willing accomplices (Iran, North Korea and MAGA-land) try to destroy Ukraine, its culture and its democracy to make it a vassal state.
Here's the🧵
Yesterday started with shocking lies and propaganda from the White House and ended with another massive attack by Russia, knowing tRUmp and co don't mind at all.

The war Russia inflicted on Ukraine enters Day 1120
Ukraine, a country which never invaded another, never killed anyone abroad; a fully democratic nation where only one President has ever won a second term in office.
Here's THE daily thread for Wednesday, with all the news.
Yesterday was all about the ritual humiliation of tRUmp, dished out by Putin, and the US president's brain being too rusty to realise.
I also indulged in a long sub-thread on my fears about what's happening in Washington DC.
Catch up here:
It's official. tRUmp's supposed skill at making a deal is absolutely RANK
Russia
Afghanistan
NK (North Korea)
#TraitorTrump promised a deal with his mate in NK, got nothing.
He handed the Taliban everything, got nothing.
Now, ending the war in 24 hours turned into humiliation
