This is Day 391 of the #RussiaUkraineWar and you've found the start of another daily thread.

For all the news from Monday, click and scroll yesterday's 🧵

Monday was pretty quiet and this morning has started the same way in #Ukraine, with no major news to report overnight, with no update on the drone attack in #Crimea

So let's look at #Russia's daily losses. Almost 1,000 troops: tanks and artillery system numbers above average too
The British daily update uses polite language to effectively say "can you imagine what it's going to be like in #Russia in coming months: psychopaths, drug abusers and thieves are back on the streets, with many of them now suffering PTSD too. Good luck!"
Update from #Crimea
Occupiers have imposed a State of Emergency in #Dzhankoy.

#Russia claimed it shot down the drone last night with only slight damage to one shop and one house.

Just days after the ICC issued war crimes arrest warrants, 15 #Ukraine children have been returned home.

Ombudsman Dmytro Lubynets says in total 308 have "returned to the territory of Ukraine" however he did not say if these youngsters had been in #Russia or an occupied region.
The @nytimes obtained documents showing #China sold $12m worth of drones + accessories to #Russia since the invasion of #Ukraine

DJI drones account for almost 50% of drone imports by Russia and shipments continue though the company said it had stopped.

nytimes.com/2023/03/21/bus…
One of those Chinese drones (see previous tweet) has been shot down today over #Bakhmut.

The DJI Mavic-2 "correction" UAV was taken out by #Ukraine's border guards, though it took "It took several magazines of AK-74 ammunition"

dpsu.gov.ua/ua/news/tri-do…
Continuing the culture of fear in #Russia, they're rushing to make surrendering a crime.

State news agency RIA novosti reports anyone not offering resistance, who allows themselves to be captured, will in future face up to 10 years in jail.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
The last of the G7 leaders to visit #Ukraine has finally arrived in #Kyiv.

#Japan's PM Fumio Kishida arrived via train from Poland, and has headed straight for #Bucha.

Later he will meet with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

#StandWithUkraine
#Zaporizhzhia has been hit with S-300 missiles.

It seems #Russia has fired from #Tokmak, about 100km away, over the other side of the frontline.

#StopRussia
Here's something very controversial.
A UK government official has admitted they will be supplying highly-controversial uranium-depleted ammunition to #Ukraine

It's highly effective at breaching tanks' armour, but has been linked to cancer.

questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questi…
UPDATE on previous tweet:

A couple of months ago #Russia warned it would regard the use of uranium-depleted ammunition as a 'dirty bomb' and "will be harshly responded to by Moscow."

plenglish.com/news/2023/01/2…
A senior lieutenant in #Russia's army looks to have been murdered.

Investigators are checking a theory he may have been poisoned.

This happened at a military camp in Kubovaya near #Novosibirsk. The officer died within minutes of arriving at the camp.

tayga.info/181082
Musk does it again! #Ukraine's military says Starlink terminals are no gro-blocked and won't work in the Occupied zones, even though this is sovereign Ukrainian land.

The report by the Economist says Ukraine now has to use a range of other, more expensive, comms options.
On the face of it more good news for #Ukraine.

But still a distinct lack of detail or assurance.
The Five Eyes Intelligence soon worked out Ukraine would resist #Russia's initial invasion, and have now had 12 months to get top equipment to Ukraine.

As a side note, just been through notifications.

Today I went back 48 hours and saw so many replies which had not shown up when I last checked this morning. Not sure what Twitter does with the algorithm and why some are "hidden" from me for a while. This was happening pre-Musk.
A very short clip said to be from #Zaporizhzhia after the reported missile attack on the city earlier.

Still no official comment from #Ukraine officials.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Earlier today #Russia claimed they had foiled a drone attack on an oil pipeline in #Bryansk region.

The local Governor claims it's the 4th attempt to hit the Druzhba line.

#StopRussia
A house is destroyed in #ChasivYar.

The town is near Bakhmut in #Donetsk region. If #Bakhnut falls, Chasiv Yar is likely to go the same way soon after. But #BakhmutHolds

#StandWithUkraine
It's claimed that #Ukraine destroyed a Command Post of #Russia's army in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.

Around 15 died and another 12 were injured when Ukraine's army hit the camp at Malaya Belozerka near #Vasilevka.

ria-m.tv/news/314912/po…
There were also unconfirmed reports of an attack on one of #Russia's bases in #Donetsk earlier.

#Ukraine sources claim this smoke was rising from a warehouse of equipment with reports of multiple troop deaths also.

#StopRussia
More attack drones are threatening #Ukraine right now.

Explosions reported in #Odesa - contrasting reports about whether it was a UAV being shot down or one of the kamikaze drones hitting the Shkolny military airfield in #Odessa.
This video is unverified

#StopRussia
One #Odesa channel is reporting injuries in the southern city after a drone strike.

The #Odessa-Info site says there is a severe fire after the UAV hit a 3-storey building.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

Now it makes sense... #Odesa was hit with missiles launched from #Russia's Su-35 fighter jets.
The jets took off from the Black Sea fleet.

#Ukraine's emergency services confirm here are victims but no-one died.
2/2

It's with some irony I have to report that #Russia's rockets hit a dormitory of one of the Orthodox monasteries of the Moscow Patriarchate of #Odesa.

#Odessa #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine's air defence has just announced it managed to shoot down two Kh-59 guided cruise missiles which were fired at #Odesa tonight.

#StopRussia #Odessa #RussiaIsATerroristState
Another new low for #Russia as 8 shells hit a cemetery in #Kherson region today.

Regional Head Oleksandr Prokudin revealed the details of the attack in the village of #Mykhailivka.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
I found this video on the internet. It appears new, but I'm not positive.

It's definitely in #Russia, probably a southern republic, and there are a lot of fresh graves as well as the person being buried there that day.
Confirmation from #Odesa that three people were injured in this evening's attack by #Russia

It's now known 4 Kh-59 air to surface missiles were fired, with two hitting a dormitory of a monastery.

#Odessa #SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
#Russia's invaders say 8 people have been admitted to hospital in occupied #Kherson with "symptoms of bird flu."
Thanks to the supersleuths who follow me and managed to locate the latest Russian cemetery video to the very far East of #Russia.

@PaxLusitanica @adienis and here @nenajous all chipped in.

Quarantine, HazMat suits, face masks...

No, not the return of #Covid19 - instead #Russia's reaction to #BirdFlu in occupied #Kherson region of #Ukraine I reported a little earlier.

There are 8 suspected cases, one has been confirmed by lab tests.
Drones over #Kyiv oblast.
Air Defence seems to have shot down at least one already.

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.
