It's Sunday, it's also Day 221 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine

Here's the daily thread of news and views around the illegal war.

Yesterday was a memorable one, if you missed anything, scroll through Saturday's posts here:

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Updates from me may be a little delayed today due to my day job (commentating in Budapest), but doing my best!

The @IAEA continues to call for the release of the Director of #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, who's detained by #Russia.

@RafaelMGrossi is heading there this week
Today is the day #Russia's losses have gone past 60,000

All wasted lives, blood on the hands of one man, plus probably twice as many wounded, many disabled for life.

In the rout of #Lyman, #Ukraine also destroyed so much equipment yesterday:

#SlavaUkraini
Here's the British Intel update for Sunday. Not surprisingly it's all about #Lyman.

Imagine being one of the those reservists mobilised last week, sent straight to the cauldron, sentenced to death by #Russia a week after your normal life was shattered by #Putin.

#StopRussia
#Ukraine's army has been publishing photos of stuff left behind in #Lyman after another chaotic evacuation by #Russia's soldiers

Not sure they're allowed long hair, so can only assume the women's hairbrush here is just another looted item.

#StopPutinNOW #RussiaIsATerroristState
Overnight #Russia struck a college in #KryvyiRih in southern #Ukraine.

This is the home town of President @ZelenskyyUa and a kamikaze drone was used to target the lyceum in the city centre. Still no details from authorities about damage or casualties

#RussiaIsATerroristState
There was also an attack early this morning on #Zaporizhzhia.

#Russia this time targeted some holiday cottages just outside the city centre. Damage and casualties "still being assessed"

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Even though #Russia's army was driven out of #Sumy region over 4 months ago, today an example of the danger which still exists.

An employee of Ukrtelecom died when his car hit a landmine planted by Russians back in the winter.
3 passengers were wounded.

📷Governor Zhivytskyi
Seven people were3 injured when shells hit residential buildings in #Mykolaiv (RU: #Nikolaev) this morning.

Once again S-300 missiles (meant for air defence) were used. A large fire broke out in the city after the attack.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
Soundcloud is the latest app to feel the wrath of the Kremlin!

#Russia's Big Brother has blocked access citing false information (i.e. the truth) being spread!

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
We've raised £3,178 for #Ukraine's soldiers - just 11 days left of the appeal.

I know there are a lot of fundraisers but we can source discounted winter clothes and thanks to Polish/Ukrainian Michal and his team, free transport to Ukraine. Thanks💙💛

#Lyman has been completely cleared of #Russia's invaders.

#Ukraine's President made a special short video post on Telegram to inform the nation of the news about the town in #Donetsk region, which two days ago #Putin pledged would forever be Russia.

#SlavaUkraini
#Russia is today claiming this strike in #Dnipro three days ago killed "more than 35 employees of #Ukraine's Security Service, including foreign advisers"

It says in total more than 40 people are missing:
#StopRussia

Another twist in the mystery of the buried sea mines!

You may remember yesterday the videos I posted showing the burial of what seems to have been mines.
Some feared #Russia could contaminate the soil and then explode the bombs. UA Online reckons it was just another 🇷🇺 fake!
#Lyman 1 October 2022

🇬🇧💙💛🇺🇦
I am interested by this propaganda from the Occupiers

"#Russia guarantees all people living on the territory of the LPR, DPR, Kherson & Zaporizhzhia regions the right to preserve and study their native language."

But that's Ukrainian. They shut all🇺🇦language schools in Russia!
Four mushroom pickers have died in #Chernihiv region in #Ukraine after their car hit a Russian mine.

There is a ban on entering forests for this reason, and sadly they paid with their lives.

it's the second mine-tragedy in a day
#RussiaIsATerroristState
Extraordinary claims of #Ukraine success... from a RUSSIAN blogger.

Here's a translation of reports Ukraine's forces broke through deep into Occupied territory in #Kherson region. Completely unconfirmed but look at the map - it could be a #Russia withdrawal to east of the river.
Another of #Russia's jets has been destroyed in #Donetsk region.

#Ukraine's armed forces released these photos of the Su-34, which they did not even know had crashed and was only discovered today in liberated #Lyman.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
After freeing #Lyman, the #Ukraine army has pushed on all the way to #Kreminna where battles are ongoing.

#Russia withdrew to here, but are thought to be having trouble to defend a solid front having retreated in haste and being outnumbered and with inferior artillery.
Didn't #Russia say the war was to defeat Nazis in Kyiv?

Now an influential 🇷🇺channel says
"Either we will win on the territory of the former Ukraine, or we will have to win in Russia. Every fighter must understand this; he went to war so that the war would not come to his house"

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.
If you need to catch up on the news from Day 777, just click and scroll here for all Wednesday's news:

#StandWithUkraine

#Russia has again targeted energy installations, with attacks in #Kyiv (photos) #Kharkiv #Lviv + #Zaporizhzhia.

9x Tu-95 & a MiG-31K bomber delivered numerous missiles including Kinzhal warheads.
Prior to that kamikaze drones threatened #Ukraine.

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
