So let's start today with news of explosions inside #Russia and on #Crimea
First Crimea - they may try to pass off loud bangs in #Simferopol & #Bakhchisarai as "air defence working". But it seems more than that, one report of several military trucks and fuel trucks were damaged.
Speaking of loud bangs, this was heard in #Belgorod region in #Russia.
Maybe the Russians are fearful of a breakaway Republic? The last one to try that was #Chechnya and its capital got razed to the ground.
To disguise the fact they profit from blood money as #Ukraine's people die, it's rebranding as "Lab Industries"

This time next week #Russia is likely to hit 100,000 - that's the number of dead soldiers, lives wasted at the whim of the dictator in the Terrorist State.
Today another 420 sacrificed according to #Kyiv's figures, plus the 61 Cruise missiles shot down in defence of the nation.
More from #Bellingcat on that 700-page document from the EU outlining precise sanctions.
These guys' commanders were also named. Impressive from both Bellingcat and that the EU followed it up.
I don't often publish maps: they are usually estimates and things can change quickly in any case.
However, this not only looks accurate, it also shows despite almost the entire might of #Russia's army put into taking #Bakhmut, nothing changed in 19 weeks
The newest iconic structure in #Kyiv has officially been reopened. The "Klychko Bridge" is working again a little over 2 months after being targeted by #Russia in a bomb attack.
All 18 reinforced glass paving 'stones' needed replacing. Well worth a visit when you go to #Ukraine
Consequences of night shelling in occupied #Donetsk.
Three people were injured here in the #Budonivskyi district. 5 cars were damaged in this garage.
#Kherson - the attack happened while humanitarian aid was being distributed
One person writes:
"I don’t know yet if this is a strategy by #Russia, but volunteers be careful when distributing aid..
Yesterday in Chornobaivka and now Stepanivka hit exactly during aid distribution."
A landslide in the mountainous Transcarpathia region of west #Ukraine caused panic for nearby residents.
This is in #Vladivostok in the far east of #Russia; over 1,000 square metres is blazing at these warehouses.
The man filming says the fire started in a trash bin, but they couldn't extinguish it.
Doesn't seem like anything interesting is stored or made here.
Apologies to all my followers and the good people of #Switzerland. #Henkel is based in #Germany. My mistake - the Russian press agency reported the news and I did not check location.
Anyway, @Henkel still needs to get out of #Russia or prove this is wrong
#Moldova has banned six pro-Russia TV channels for broadcasting lies about the war.
All 6 are closely tied to Ilan Shor, who is in exile in Israel. He has backed, and many think orchestrated, protests against Western-leaning President Maia Sandu.
Reports of another Russian base receiving a #HIMARS calling card in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.
This time the strike was in the village of #Troitske, about 25km north of #Melitopol'
Locals report 2 hours of burning and explosions, with the destruction of many vehicles and troops.
The traditional "Christmas Tree" (in Ukrainian 'yalynka') has been lit in #Kyiv.
After much deliberating officials decided to go ahead with a tree despite the war, specifically to try to keep life as normal as possible for kids.
Lights will be 🟡+🔵 and be powered by a generator
I've seen three videos today all from #Donetsk and all showing numerous bodies of killed Russian soldiers.
Two are said to be from #Bakhmut.
Unlikely these are coordinated, which means it's even more of a bloodbath out there.
It's that time of year...
What can be more traditional and Christmassy than Santa ("Ded Moroz") arriving on a.... errr Armoured Personnel Carrier? WTF?
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.
