Also, I'm proud to have single-handedly kept up to date with all the news with daily threads each and every day. So let's start Thursday's 🧵

Today's thread comes from #Montenegro after a travel day yesterday. Six years ago #Russia's attempted coup here failed.
Still a touch of snow on the mountains as another European Teqball Tour event gets underway here. More about that tomorrow on Finals Day.

Wednesday was pretty quiet in terms of the war.
But if you need to recap on yesterday, here's the usual link:

One potentially emotive flashpoint concerns the church in #Ukraine. The Govt refused to extend the lease to the #Moscow branch of the Orthodox Church and effectively evicted the Russian-aligned priests from #Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra y'day.
But they were holding another service today

#Russia has arrested a reporter from @WSJ

#Russia's covert recruitment campaign to boost the army has continued, but a major new drive for 400,000 "volunteers" looks imminent.
Britain's report this morning says this will turn into forced recruitment, but still won't solve the problem with lack of hardware in #Ukraine.

The near-panic of the Occupiers in and around #Melitopol continues.
More "dragon's teeth" are appearing in wheat fields near the city. But they are designed to stop older tanks and Leopards and Challengers should be able to overcome them when the time comes.

In the last 24 hours #Ukraine only managed to destroy one enemy tank. I think this is probably influenced by the weather as much as anything.
The number of artillery systems hit is almost double the daily mean, but killed invaders from #Russia remains lower than most of March.

In an attempt to aid its dodgy recruitment campaign, #Russia has promised new conscripts won't be sent to Occupied #Ukraine.
But that didn't help one soldier who was shot and wounded in #Bryansk overnight. Looks like a friendly-fire incident from another nervous serviceman.

Tensions still high as Moscow-aligned religious figures reluctantly leave the #Kyiv Perchersk Lavra.
Some have been seen "stealing" paintings and religious icons, while this 'monk' seemed to object to the camera of a state news channel filming his departure:

I love this story..
Schoolchildren in #Japan helped #Ukraine
Knowing sunflowers were a huge part of #Ukraine's economy and identity, they planted a whole field and now reaped the reward, selling the oil to raise funds, which were given to #Ukraine's Embassy in Japan.

Still theft, but I guess at least it's #Ukraine dirt now 😂😂🇺🇦

Thought they'd never leave ... Austria's Raiffeisen Bank, which is scared to be on Twitter, has finally said it is selling its operation in #Russia. Not before being accused of recognising occupied territories and of course taxes helping #Russia wage war in #Ukraine.
A French court has refused to extradite Konstantin Zhevago to #Ukraine.
Kyiv accused the oligarch of embezzling $70m, but as a former MP outside of Zelenskyy's party, he says it "confirms that the case against him is political and has no legal basis."

It's happening again and from your feedback much worse this time it seems. This is a serious problem for many pro-Ukraine accounts.
So please retweet more often the accounts you trust and like, not just mine, but I won't object if you do😇

A new entry for #RussiaOnFire today, spotted by Carolynne, to whom I give thanks.
The market at the railway station "Privokzalny" in #Pyatigorsk (#Stavropol region) saw a fire develop into a huge blaze. The problem is all the stalls are so close together

#Kharkiv has been hit this evening with a volley of missiles.
Six hits have been recorded on the city, confirmed by the Mayor. No word yet on damage or casualties.
The first arrival happened just as the air raid siren sounded.

The missiles fired at #Kharkiv came from just across the border in #Belgorod.
The border region in #Russia is also hearing explosions now. Hopefully #Ukraine traced and took out the missile launchers.

There's a video going round Ukraine sites showing a supposed fire in #Belgorod after retaliatory strikes by Ukraine.
I think it's fake. I imagine this to be an old video, though I cannot find the original yet. This is a screenshot.

Conflicting reports from #Zaporizhzhia (RU: #Zaporozhe/#Zaporozhye)
This was one of the explosions heard across the city. It's believed one of three missiles fired at ZP exploded right after being launched above occupied #Tokmak.
