This is reported to be a photo of the main bridge across the Oskil river in #Kupiansk. It's on various websites and Telegram channels already and while it cannot be verified yet, it would seem likely forward artillery strikes would target it, depriving #Russia of reinforcements.
#Russia's 'head' of (occupied) #Kharkiv is shown on local media channels admitting "things are not going well"
Vitaliy Ganchev promises "all settlements taken by #Ukraine will be liberated" but right now urges people to flee to Russia "there will be people to help at the border"
Earlier in the day #Russia did land some reinforcements to defend #Kupiansk.
Huge transport helicopters (poss "Halo") landed near the town to offload troops and tanks - maybe with bridges and roads under #Ukraine fire control it's the only option
Just before day 198 ends, another episode in the popular series #RussiaOnFire
Tonight's story comes from #Ufa in the Republic of #Bashkortostan - about 1,400km east of Moscow.
Possibly connected, it has one of the highest death rates in the war
The Mercury shopping centre burns
More on the previous tweet - the shopping centre fire in #Ufa.
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.
