Welcome to another daily thread for Day 384 of #Russia's illegal war on #Ukraine.
In yesterday's thread we heard that the ICC is planning on bringing two war crimes charges against the Kremlin.

If you want to review anything from Monday, it's all here⬇️
#Russia has now lost over 160,000 soldiers invading #Ukraine according to Kyiv's fugures.

10 tanks, 16 artillery systems (+2 MLRS) and 740 more deaths for Russia are the standout figures in the last 24 hours.

#StandWithUkraine
#Russia's continuing supply problems are the focus of the UK update once again today:

#RussiansGoHome
More terrorism by #Russia in #Ukraine this morning.

The invaders hit another apartment block, this time in #Kramatorsk in #Donetsk oblast.

At least three people were injured when the rocket smashed into the building, but rescuers are still sifting through the rubble.
Update from #Kramatorsk, where one person is dead after #Russia's rocket attack which hit and damaged 6 town centre residential buildings.

President @ZelenskyyUa wrote "Every strike that takes an innocent life must result in a lawful and just sentence that punishes murder."
A loud explosion heard in #Odesa (RU: #Odessa) today.

There was an air raid warning active at the time. Clearly air defences were working, but it's not yet clear whether #Russia hit any targets.
There are power cuts in the city but DTEK says these were planned.
#RussiaOnFire

A young woman seems to have a grudge here. Against the state? Against neighbours? Who knows?
But she calmly took a taxi to this apartment block in #Krasnodar and set fire to papers in the letter boxes.

No serious damage occurred and no one was injured.
I forgot to highlight this yesterday, but continuing today is the trial of one of the few people I admire in #Russia today.

Charged with treason, @vkaramurza faces 24 years in prison. Putin is so scared of him, the trial is behind closed doors.

A lot of people have contributed story suggestions over the last 24 hours, some of whom wish to remain anonymous. Thanks to you all, Carolynne, Renee, Simon, Naomi et al.

DMs open for tip-offs.💙💛
It's claimed another civilian has been killed by #Russia's shelling in #Ukraine.

#Kharkiv region governor, Oleh Synyehubov says a 55 year old woman died when "an enemy projectile hit a civilian car"

This happened in #Vovchansk, just 6km from the border with Russia.
#StopRussia
Now confirmed that #Odesa was hit by missiles this morning.

#Russia fired 4 warheads from Su-24 aircraft over the Black Sea, towards the coast in #Odessa

The tactic in the last 48 hours seems to be singular missile attacks, to locate, then aim to destroy #Ukraine's air defences
#Poland hopes to be able to hand over fighter jets to #Ukraine in "the next 4-6 weeks."

They will be the Soviet strye MiG-29s, which Ukrainian pilots can fly without additional training.

But another month or more? We've been hearing about plane donations since December.
#RussiaOnFire

For the second day in a row, a fire broke out at a Russian Thermal power plant in #Udmurtia.

Officials say the smoke at the plant in #Izhevsk was due to oil in the transformer catching light.
#Russia's getting twitchy over drones.

A UAV's been spotted over #Moscow's Vnukovo airport this afternoon.
Y'day 3 quadcopters were reportedly spying on military in Moscow.

Earlier today a #Ukraine drone was supposedly shot down while "trying to attack #Bryansk chemical plant"
Earlier in the thread I reported on the death of a 55 year old woman in shelling in #Kharkiv region.

It transpires she, and others caught up #Russia's attack on #Vovchansk, were carrying the body of a relative to the cemetery when hit by the rocket.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
The President's office in #Kyiv reports after a Defence meeting today, unanimous support for ongoing defence of #Bakhmut.

My analysis is this defies logic, so there must be some non-public info:
1) Western artillery/tanks/ammo imminent
2) It's a bluff
The governor is #Luhansk is reportedly resigning.

Serhii Haidai became quite well known during the war as #Ukraine managed to wrestle back some territory in the region from #Russia.

He may become ambassador to Kazakhstan.
Reports coming in of another car bomb explosion in occupied #Melitopol

#RussiansGoHome
#Russia is accused of desecrating a church in #Kherson.

St. Nicholas Church in the south of the city was damaged in shelling today.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
UPDATE

Video from the scene of the car bomb in occupied #Melitopol.

It's not known who was in the car, but those on site say at least one person died.
It's now known 9 people were injured in this attack on #Kramatorsk.

Head of the City Council Oleksandr Honcharenko said mercifully only two were hospitalised.

#USA is accusing #Russia of deliberately hitting an MQ-8 Reaper reconnaissance drone over the Black Sea.

The Command of US Forces in Europe blames one of two Russian Su-27 fighter jets which "carried out a dangerous and unprofessional interception" of the drone.
#StopRussia
The fire following the car bomb explosion in #Melitopol' is now out.

There are various rumours about who was in the car and who carried out the attack. Some say it was score settling among the occupiers themselves.

No official information, but officials say no-one died.
The Occupiers' media channels now say three people were injured as a result of the car bomb attack in #Melitopol'

They still refuse to name any of the victims, or their condition.

#RussiansGoHome
It's now confirmed that one person died in the #Melitopol bombing.

It could be traitor Ivan Tkach who has now been named among the three victims.
Tkach owned one of the largest transport companies in Melitopol and was made Director of "City Transport" by the Occupiers' council.
#USA has sumoned the Russian ambassador over the downing of a drone over the Black Sea

#Russia claims its fighters did not fire on the drone and did not "come into contact" with the US UAV.
"Due to sharp manoeuvering, the drone went into a dive, lost altitude and hit the water."
Earlier in the thread I wrote about the Governor of #Luhansk, Serhii Haidai leaving the post.

The Heads of #Odesa and #Khmelnytskyi are also dismissed.

It will be interesting to see if #Odessa's Maksym Marchenko is given another role or not.
Fascinating long read here about #Russia's installation of air defences (with zero regard for the environment, and possibly for residents too)

theins.ru/en/politics/26…
Explosions in #Russia's #Belgorod tonight.

The governor claims they shot down 3 missiles. “Debris from one hit the residential sector. There is damage"

#StandWithUkraine
More from #Belgorod

The governor says they shot down all missiles, but this video looks very much like the straight trajectory of a missile hitting a ground target. It's small, but moving left to right.

It would be very interesting to know the direction of travel.
And another video of the arc of one of the missiles in #Belgorod. Some report the rocket changed direction sharply. Any sign of air defence here?
Anyone able to geolocate to judge from where it was fired?
Another #Wagner cemetery has been discovered.

This is in #Yekaterinburg region. Residents of #Berezovsky confirm it's a real video in their village.

Hello and welcome of Day 838 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine, a country which never fired a shot at any other until the initial 2014 invasion by its imperialistic neighbour.

This is THE thread for all the news, analysis and a bit of comment on the situation. Let's dive in
Regulars will know I (try to) always include a link back to the previous day for those who missed something, or like to just browse the main stories in one place, in a few minutes.

Please share, boost, do your NAFO thing to raise visibility!💙💛

It's Day 835 of #Russia's war.
A conflict based solely on the ego of one very little man. But Putin managed to remove all freedoms & opposition and then brainwash the public into supporting his tyranny, just as Hitler did.

This is THE daily thread covering the war in #Ukraine
It was another very difficult night for the people and air defenders in #Ukraine.

All the details coming up right here on Friday's thread.
First though, your chance to look back on Thursday's news. If you missed anything, click + scroll here:
First I want to point out the seemingly random number of "views".
Yesterday's thread-header has the lowest view count I can ever remember, despite almost identical likes/retweets to the previous day.
The last 3 days: 35k 22k and 9k
However of those 35k, 2/3 came after 2am GMT

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
