Saturday is Day 381 of #Russia's attempt to obliterate #Ukraine from the map, to destroy an independent nation and centuries of culture.

This is the only thread you need for all the news and developments around the war, here's y'day's thread to catch up:

Starting today with the British Intel update. London confirms that #Wagner troops have reached the centre of #Bakhmut. However they explain why #Ukraine is still holding #Russia at bay in the #Donetsk town.

They don't supply a map, so I've added 2 from Google + DeepState to help
There are so many exaggerations, lies & fakes in all wars; I guess these days it's easier, quicker to spread + difficult & time consuming to try to spot fakes.

But here's one. As news of Leopard tanks being deployed by #Ukraine, a crude photoshop of a🇷🇺 chevron on an old photo
Something else #Russia loves to do is humiliate people. Even schoolchildren.
This girl in #Crimea posted on Insta that a popular #Ukraine supermarket may open in Sevastopol and "soon we will return home."

So she's then forced to "apologise" in front of the Occupiers' flag.
Many explosions reported this morning in various districts of #Melitopol'. No reports on what exactly happened, but unlikely to be Occupiers' training if the bangs are so widely spread.

In my opinion the small city in #Zaporizhzhia is likely the key to stopping #Russia.
nother day with over 1,000 soldiers* sacrificed by #Russia in its' attempt to destroy #Ukraine. This is supported by the British update explaining how invaders are picked off in #Bakhmut by reinforced Ukrainian positions, and it's replicated throughout #Donbas.

* Kyiv estimate
It's equally disgusting and unbelievable what #Russia does.
First they whine about American/UK/EU "interference" anywhere the people want freedom. Then they basically threaten an invasion if the people of #Georgia don't cease their demonstrations.

Threats because they're worried
The UK targets @Olympics sponsors after @iocmedia continues to support the inclusion of athletes from the Terrorist State in the Paris games next year.

Around 250 #Ukraine athletes have been murdered in the illegal war. 1000s more have nowhere to train.

After sabotage of a railway line at #Bakhchisaray in Occupied #Crimea, it's reported Tatars are again being targeted by #Russia

Protest group FemAgainstWar says Akhtyom Ismailov's home in #Simferopol was raided today. He's the 3rd Crimean Tatar to have his home searched.

The news of the persecution of #Crimea's Tatar community comes shortly after political prisoner Dzhemil Gafarov died in a pre-trial detention centre.

Dzhemil was a defendant in the Hizb ut-Tahrir case, where the FSB is detaining activists of the Crimean Tatar movement.
Four areas of #Ukraine still suffer from lack of power as a result of the mass missile attack.

#Kharkiv, #Zhytomyr #Dnipropetrovsk and #Mykolaiv are all still affected.

However Ukrenergo says a TPP in #Kharkov has been repaired and Kharkiv may have full power again soon.
#Slovakia's a key figure in the alliance. But a new poll puts ex PM Robert Fico ahead. He recently said the war in #Ukraine was started by "Ukrainian fascists" in 2014, and it's impossible to return annexed #Crimea.

Elections are in 6 months. Fico's Smer-SD leads.
Poll: DennikN
#RussiaOnFire

During the night a big blaze at the plastic production workshop in Kolabino near #Moscow.

The roof of the building collapsed as the fire intensified.
#Russia's MoD releases a video showing it hitting a British-made Stormer HVM anti-aircraft missile system, given to #Ukraine.

They claim it was destroyed by "a high-precision loitering ammunition of the Lancet type."

I've been checking this for a while and it looks genuine.
Three people have been killed in another atrocious Russian war crime inflicted on #Kherson.

#Russia's forces deliberately hit the popular ATB supermarket. A woman in her 30s and two men in their 40s and 50s died.
Three others were injured, including a 75 year old woman.
A big explosion this morning in #Kostiantynivka (RU: #Konstantinovka)

#Russia continues to shell all towns and villages near the frontline.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
Yep, the Kremlin's old favourite (in its huge armoury of disinfo nonsense) about "bio labs" is due another run out.

Video from the scene of the awful war crime in #Kherson.

A supermarket on a Saturday, deliberately shelled by #Russia's animals.

A reminder 3 people died and a 75 year old woman is among the injured.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
More war crimes on video - this time in #Vuhledar (RU; #Ugledar)

Thermite munitions used on the town in #Donetsk.
Thousands of residents remain, one filmed this, you can see civilian cars getting hit. This is against the Geneva Convention.
Unconfirmed reports of explosions in #Zaporizhzhia. Air raid warning was sounding at the time.
Not known if it was air defence.

#StandWithUkraine
The attack on #Zaporizhzhia has been confirmed now.

#Russia fired S-300 missiles again, aimed at critical infrastructure. No further news of damage or injuries yet.

In occupied #Mariupol' smoke rises from near the airfield.

There have been widespread reports of explosions.

#DonetskIsUkraine
2/2

Many are writing about a video showing smoke near the centre of #Mariupol suggesting it too is a strike by #Ukraine.

However, here's a better video; it seems to be a house fire. Could be a missile but more likely gas or domestic accident in my opinion.

#StandWithUkraine
Another scandal touches @AndriyYermak who heads #Zelenskyy's Presidential office.

Ukraine Online reveals that the Chief Prosecutor of #Kyiv Oleh Kiper used to be personally hired by Yermak as an adviser.
Recently it became known Kiper's wife has a Russian passport & tax number.
Tony N, thank you for another donation to the coffee fund!
As always, very much appreciated and yes - here's to defeat for the evil empire!
💙💛
#Russia seem scared of the #Kraken unit, and their mood won't be improved after seeing this video made by the crack #Ukraine squad.

The Ukraine special forces claim they destroyed two of Russia's observation towers in the #Bryansk and #Kursk regions.

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.
