It's Tuesday and we've reached Day 405 of #Russia's illegal war of choice. Welcome to another daily thread.

#Ukraine refuses to bow down to the aggressor and invader and once again the country is under attack.

All the news throughout the day right here⬇️
#StandWithUkraine
As usual, here's the link for the start of yesterday's thread, in case you need to catch up:

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine

The southern city of #Odesa (RU: #Odessa) has been hit tonight.

Details are not yet clear but a few explosions were heard and local officials confirm they've been hit by drones.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
It's thought 15 kamikaze drones were launched to attack #Odesa. 11 are reportedly shot down with 2 hitting targets in the city.

Two more remained near the south coast port, and residents heard scenes like this for much of the past hour:

#Odessa #Ukraine
This is the moment an #Iran made kamikaze drone his #Odesa (RU: #Odessa) tonight.

A large fire is reported, but authorities are not giving any details yet.
They fear a second wave of drones could be launched by #Russia. Now the immediate danger passed.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Earlier in the evening #Russia claimed #Ukraine had attacked #Bryansk with drones.

Regional Governor Aleksandr Bogomaz says explosives were dropped from UAVs on the Military Commissariat and the Ministry of Internal Affairs buildings. A local channel shows some damage nearby:
The all clear has just been given for #Odesa/#Odessa

There has been more anti-aircraft fire in the last 30 minutes. Meanhile photos are emerging of the fire raging in the Raiduzhnyi area.

#StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
What? Call this news?
My followers knew a week ago!

And yes he was in charge of air defence as well as eastern command, and was judged to have failed in both.

Meanwile Gerasimov is currently avoiding open windows.

Britain's MoD Intel report today returns to the rift between the #Wagner group and #Russia's Government.

And as I read this, I have to remind myself that mercenaries are still illegal in Russia. Putin and his cronies have stopped even trying to pretend they obey laws.
Here is the table of daily losses for #Russia in #Ukraine.

530 more dead soldiers, but that is the only category today above the daily mean for the 405 days of the full invasion.

#RussiansGoHome
The RIA-Melitopol Telegram Channel headlines this story "Karma in action"

They say a collaborator stole a generator in occupied Alchevsk, which then electrocuted him

During a power outage the “head” of Alchevskteplo tried to use a pocket generator, but instead he was denazified
Britain's UFC fighter @muhammadmokaev wants officials to remove #Russia from his biography.

Muhammad was born in #Dagestan, which has a large separatist community, despite brutal crackdowns by Kremlin installed local officials.

I've been chasing reports of a possible attack in #Crimea overnight. Many #Ukraine channels are writing about explosions around 2am in #Armyansk.

Supposedly an abandoned farmhouse used by #Russia's soldiers was hit.

However I can find no verification.
"Fake divorce" so Russian deputy Defence Minister's wife can carry on partying in Europe.

But look at the figures and outrageous disparity with salary. Why do Russians just accept this theft of their money by greedy, bloodthirsty Putin slaves?

pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/…
#Finland has officially joined NATO.
Well done #Putin who's managed to make #Russia's border with NATO double in length by his aggression.

The Suomi flag will be raised at NATO HQ in half an hour or so, with a press conference thereafter.

In #Mariupol a little chatter about explosions being heard.

It's likely to be demolition work or training exercises by #Russia's occupiers, but worth keeping an eye on.

#StandWithUkraine
#Germany's Vice Chancellor admits he's "ashamed" at the delay in getting weapons to #Ukraine.

Robert Halbeck apologised face-to-face in his meeting with @ZelenskyyUa in #Kyiv today:

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Confirmation here from councillors in #Khmelnytskyi that the Moscow-aligned church is being kicked out of the city.

By a unanimous vote they deprived the UOC-MP of the right to use 13 plots of land, including the church where a #Ukraine soldier was beaten a few days ago.
#Ukraine's Armed Forces is celebrating the capture of #Russia's all-terrain vehicle DT-10 "Vityaz"

It's a rare specimen and it's original design for use in the Arctic could serve well on the wetlands of east #Ukraine in the next few weeks after repairs.

#RussiaOnFire

Ealier today a blaze in a warehouse in St.Petersburg raised interest. It's said to be on the territory of the Petrograd production and procurement enterprise.

Not sure what they make or store, but it's near the railway and another hangar was also destroyed.
Here's video of Dariya Trepova being taken back to a prison cell after her court hearing earlier today, following the explosion which killed Prigozhin ally Tatarsky.

Trepova was remanded for 2 months by the St Petersburg court.
Bombs have been dropped by one of #Russia's Su-35 aircraft on a village in #Chernihiv region this evening.

A private house and farm buildings in the #Pechenyuhy settlement were hit. A local man suffered moderate wounds according to medics who are operating on him now.
#Russia's little known "National Republican Army" assumed responsibility for the murder of Vladlen Tatarsky.
This is the same group which claimed to have killed Dugina.

Here is a translation of the group's post.

#StopRussia
Incidentally after that statement the group urged the public to support Dariya Trepova, the young woman accused of the crime.

The NRA describes her as a hero and never once say she is innocent, or framed.
Remember she sat in the cafe just metres away from the explosive device.
"I feel terrible" - Bill Clinton regrets encouraging #Ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons.

The USA and UK signed an agreement with Ukraine and Russia guaranteeing Ukrainian borders.
Ukraine lost its nukes and larges swathes of territory and US and UK did nothing until Feb'22.

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:
