The criticism from some about #Russia's war effort is very much controlled and serves a purpose.
For a start everything Kadyrov does is for Putin - his father was a traitor who switched sides in the Chechen wars. #StopRussia
The big news though is events in occupied #Crimea.
During the night, on the bridge linking Crimea to #Russia, this happened:
#Russia says one of the lorry tankers crossing the bridge exploded. It was carrying fuel and they say it is a terrorist act.
So they either accept #Ukraine is hitting them hard or they admit internal dissent.
Here's how the #Crimea bridge looked after the explosion
The owner of the truck that is thought to have been responsible for the #Crimea bridge attack has recorded a video message saying he was abroad, but his uncle used the lorry to deliver orders.
It seems an IED on the lorry was timed to ignite fuel being transported by train.
It's Saturday. Always football fans in Britain eager to try out new songs!
The town of Grayvoron was hit. Two houses and a farm reportedly damaged but no injuries.
Today midway between #Mariupol' and #Donetsk it looks as though someone was smoking again!
At Karan' station in the small village of Andriivka, multiple explosions were witnessed, looking very much like one of the Occupiers' ammo stores giving up its gifts.
A train has run across the #Kerch bridge; #Russia says it's started selling tickets again.
Personally I think it's propaganda. I doubt they'll be running for a few days & probably not carrying military equipment to #Crimea for a while
Planet showed before/after satellite photos
Tonight there are reports that #Germany has delivered the promised IRIS-T air defence system and other equipment to #Ukraine
It's believed around 100 tanks originally from #Greece + #Slovakia have also been handed over.
Welcome to the weekend, and Day 934 of #Russia's illegal war.
I'm trying to overcome technical problems all this morning, hence the later start.
But I will not be stopped in bringing you the news from, and about, #Ukraine every single day, in one handy thread.
Here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread, for those catching up.

Overnight there were strong explosions near occupied #Mariupol.
It would seem #Ukraine has hit one of #Russia's ammo dumps.
🇺🇦advisor Petro Andryushchenko says it happened between the villages of Portovskoe, Rybatskoe and Melekino.
#RussiansGOHOME
#Russia expels 6 UK diplomats, accused of spying. The FSB says the group attended NGO meetings!
State TV Rossiya-24 published photos of the six, naming them as Jessica Davenport, Callum Andrew Duff, Grace Elvin, Catherine McDonnell, Blake Patel, Thomas John Hickson Stevinet.
Day 922 of #Russia's attempt to wipe #Ukraine from the map. As Putin become more desperate and fearful, the actions of the little Hitler and his commanders becomes even more brutal.
Thanks for joining me for another daily news🧵- all the news all the time. It's a tough job..
Please be aware, I did make some extra posts at the end of thread 921 which you may have missed, after being offline for most of the afternoon.
So here is the link for the start of Sunday's thread, scroll through at your leisure.
I was going to say "unfortunately" there is more destruction and injuries in #Ukraine, but this is not misfortune.
We all know, and expect, a permanent flow of war crimes from #Russia because no-one stops them. It's not unfortunate, it's disgraceful, that countries appease Putin
Hello again and welcome to Sunday's thread on the first day of September. This is the 32nd month which has seen fighting since #Russia chose to invade its peaceful neighbour.
All the news from, and about #Ukraine in one place, updated throughout the day, every day. It's Day 921
Sorry for the abrupt end to yesterday's thread. I still don't have @TMobile data, but they have promised me a refund when I get back to Vegas. This night is my last in Mexico. All work done, starting the long journey home
The big news this morning is of #Ukraine successes inside #Russia. No civilians killed, no apartment blocks hit. Just military targets, even in #Moscow region.
The Kremlin says over 150 drones were shot down in the biggest Ukraine UAV attack of the war.
Welcome to Tuesday's daily thread on #Russia's unprovoked war in #Ukraine, with all the important news in one place.
It's Day 916.
The last 24 hours have shown us maximum pressure now has to be put on the U.S. to #LetUkraineStrikeBack. Let's show Biden public-opinion demands it!
#Russia has continued to terrorise #Ukraine during the night and attacks still continue right now.
Yesterday's mammoth 15-hour assault formed most of Monday's thread, which saw an equally big 73-posts (more than one tweet every 20 mins)
Catch up here⬇️
A new week, but the same old death and destruction in #Ukraine and also in #Russia as perhaps soon it will dawn on the people of the latter it's not a good idea to launch imperialistic needless wars on innocent, peaceful neighbours.
This is THE daily thread, Day 915, let's go!
A dramatic start to Monday. We will get to that in a minute, but first I have to give you the link to Sunday's thread.
Sadly, another tragic day, as a British member of a Reuters team covering the war in #Ukraine was murdered by #Russia's missile attack
