Hello and welcome to Wednesday's thread with all the news that matters, and a little analysis, from the war in #Ukraine
#Russia's brutal, illegal invasion continues and you can find the news here, updated throughout the day. Please share/retweet as my shadowban continues!
💙💛
Today is Day 392.
There was quite a lot of activitiy last night with #Russia launching a missile attack on #Odesa (RU: #Odessa) and drone attacks across #Ukraine.
To find out what you missed, click and scroll here:
Sadly a fourth person has now died following the drone attack in #Kyiv last night. His body was recovered from the rubble of the dormitory in #Rzhyshchiv about 80km south-east of the capital itself.
This weekend is "Freedom Day" (seriously) in #Belarus, and an opposition group has said a 'security operation' in which a foreign saboteur was killed, was all staged.
BYPOL claims the "foreign terrorist" was likely a KGB stooge, citing various evidence:

1/2 Back to #Zaporizhzhia and a couple of videos to show you from the scene of #Russia's missile attack on another apartment block.
18 people have been injured, four of them seriously.
Two children aged 7 and 9 are among those taken to hospital.
1 person died in today's horrific attack on residential quarters in #Zaporizhzhia
21 were wounded, 2 children among them
The impact, seen here, happened before air raid warnings sounded. #Ukraine says it's because they were hit by MLRS, taking just seconds from launch to impact
#Russia seems to be calling up tanks which are "older than Putin"
The T-54 came into commission in 1946. Here 54s and 55s are on the move from the far east of Russia.
There seems no point moving them unless they're heading to the front, in whch case they must be desperate?
A video's emerged supposedly showing #Ukraine's attack on occupied #Sevastopol in the early hours of this morning.
One particularly big explosion is clearly visible. #Russia said they destroyed 3 naval drones - but we know not to believe what the Kremlin says!
Yet another 'mysterious' fire at a military recruiting office.
This is in the city of #Svobodny in the #Amur region.
There was an arson attempt on the same enlistment office 6 months ago which damaged the facade of the building.
Thank you also today to all the contributors who've suggested stories for inclusion in the thread. As always Carolynne and Renée are two of my biggest helps, digging out stories I may have missed.
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.
