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