Happy Easter!
It's Day 3,332 of #Russia's invasion of #Ukraine.
That's true - it took me a while to work out!
What started with #Crimea, spread to the #Donbas, then the eventual full invasion on 24 Feb 2022
It's Day 410 of the full invasion and here's my daily thread for Sunday

I should say it's Palm Sunday in #Ukraine (and #Russia) with the Orthodox World celebrating Easter a week later this year.

Also last night I revealed the results of the poll, and you rejected my proposal of switching my profile pic to the anti-war drawing by a 12 year old Russian girl who's father was arrested because of it.
The result was 62-13

An 11 year old girl and her father aged 50, died overnight when #Russia hit their home in #Zaporizhzhia.
As fire engulged the small property the 46 year old mother was pulled alive from the rubble
The street in the city is now without gas or electric.

Many #Ukraine media revisit the explosions on #Crimea yesterday.
Some RU media now claim two missiles were fired at #Feodosia; one shot down, the other hit an air defence complex and wounded 3 soldiers.
But Ukrainians say it's another #Russia provocation

A big hit for #Ukraine here as there's proof of destroying a valuable piece of the invaders' equipment for the first time.
This is #Russia's Nebo-SVU (1L119) very high frequency multi-functional radar system, taken out on the eastern front-line.

The Nebo-SVU (see last tweet) probably comes under "Special Equipment" in the daily update from #Ukraine.
Today they say 470 of #Russia's invaders were eliminated in the last 24 hours.
13 artillery systems hit is double the daily mean.

The daily Intel report from London is a typical "weekend update" with no new information.

A new video's appeared on social networks in #Zaporizhzhia showing the extent of the destruction from the overnight rocket attack on a residential street.
As I reported earlier in the thread, a father and daughter died in this latest Terrorist Attack by #Russia.

Everything according to plan for #Putin's subjects in #Belgorod.
It's just that signs appeared saying "Notify relatives, take an alarm case, depart for a safe area."
Citizens advised what to pack for an emergency evacuation as these posters appeared in many villages.

Meanwhile in #Russia's #Belgorod region right now the sirens are sounding in Volokonovsky district.
Earlier the local Governor claimed #Ukraine shelled the village of Voznesenovka in #Shebekinsky district. He said Two private houses were damaged, but no injuries.

Now to #Bakhmut where we can say again #BakhmutHolds.
Fairly reliable (but not conclusive) news of a fightback from #Ukraine's forces in the last 48 hours.
Forces there are adamant #Russia's #Wagner troops never held Stadion Avanhard Stadium, just south of the town centre.

I also believe reports #Ukraine's troops have re-taken a Church which Wagner took on Friday. However, these graphics may be a little overstating the counter-attack in #Bakhmut.
This may in part have been Wagner moving forces to attack #ChasivYar and break the supply link.

This is Beata. The Polish woman regularly appears at #Przemyśl station. Passengers heading to #Kyiv must wait outside in cold or rain for immigration checks.
Beata lifts spirits by handing out free buns, refusing money - but I didn't see her yet!

An oligarch resorted to hiring a spy to recover his property in #Amstredam from squatters.
@MoscowTimes reports (only on🇷🇺TG site yet) that #Russia's Arkady Volozh paid a man to pretend to be a 🇺🇦refugee so he could join a group inside this property, which is frozen by sanctions

A very human reminder of the outrageous pain inflicted by Putin and his invaders from #Russia.
A look inside someone's house in #Avdiivka in #Donetsk oblast. The town continues to be held by #Ukraine.

This video is thought to have been taken inside #Bakhmut; I cannot geolocate it, but it is time-stamped this morning.
An already highly damaged tower block erupts in new flames - presumably one side suspected soldiers were firing from inside.

Not 100% true of course, but funny and makes a subtle point!

Six "loud explosions" reported in Occupied #Tokmak in #Zaporizhzhia region.
Exiled mayor of #Melitopol' is the source of the news, of which there is not yet independent verification.

It's exactly a month since #Russia last launched a mass-missile attack on #Ukraine.
Prior to that, it was a 19 day gap (18 Feb)
Attacks before that were 8 days and 15 days.
So who really believes the Kremlin has plenty of missiles remaining?

Destruction continues in #Kherson region though with the new phenomenen of #Russia's guided aerial bombs.
Again #Beryslav was hit by the explosives dropped from planes 24 hours ago. Five villages were targeted with a lot of damage.

Every single window broken. The only vehicles are burned out shells. A wasteland, a pointless wasteland.

I wrote earlier about #Russia's jets bombing #Kherson region.
It's now confirmed more air bombs have hit. The invaders struck #Novoberyslav near #Beryslav, then also dropped three bombs on the village of Kizomys, #Bilozersk
No injuries reported but plenty of damage.

In the Urals two incidences of #RussiaOnFire
Earlier today a blaze at the NLMK-Ural Metalwork plant in #Revda (photos 1+2)
Just hours later in the village of #Byzovo, a harmless grass fire was not dealt with by authorities. Consequently 11 buildings burned down (photos 3+4).
