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.

If you need to catch up with Saturday's news from Europe's war, then simply click and scroll here⬇️

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
24tv.ua/feodosiya-vibu…
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.

#SlavaUkraini
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.

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

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia Image
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.

#StopRussia
#EATP
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. ImageImage
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. ImageImageImageImage

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.
2/2

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. ImageImage
The kindness of strangers!

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! Image
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 Image
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.
And destruction too in #Horlivka (RU: #Gorlovka), currently occupied by #Russia.

#StopRussia #DonetskIsUkraine ImageImageImageImage
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.

#Donetsk #Donbas #SaveUkraine
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?

#StandWithUkraine
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.

#RussiaIsATerroristState ImageImageImageImage
Video postcard from #Bakhmut'
Every single window broken. The only vehicles are burned out shells. A wasteland, a pointless wasteland.

#StandWithUkraine #DonetskIsUkraine
#Russia's jets bombing #Kherson region again, while drones are in #Zaporizhzhia airspace right now.

#StopRussia
A German soldier has reportedly died in battles in #Bakhmut.

Bild reports the unnamed former Bundeswehr soldier was transported to #Kramatorsk after being wounded, but died of his injuries on Friday.

bild.de/politik/auslan…
Hurray! Apparently we are no longer penalised for writing about #Ukraine.

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.
#StopRussia
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). ImageImageImageImage

Hello again and welcome to the daily thread covering the #RussiaUkraine war for Weds 12 April, which is Day 413 of the illegal invasion by Moscow.

All yesterday's news is just one click away, right here:
1/2
Let's start with strange "goings-on" in #Russia overnight.

It started with what some residents in #Yekaterinburg thought was a missile, but could well have been a meteorite.
2/2
In #Yekaterinburg strange "fire circles" reportedly developed at the site of impact. Officials in #Russia say it's all a fake for "Cosmonauts Day"

In #Moscow there was definitely something unidentified floating above the capital yesterday evening. ImageImageImage

It's Tuesday and also Day 412 of #Russia's illegal war, welcome to my daily🧵

So far today it's very quiet in terms of news. But there was quite a lot happening yesterday. If you missed anything, take a quick scroll through Monday's thread here.

The daily losses published by #Ukraine show that #Russia has now lost a total of 600 aircraft as I reported yesterday when another fighter helicopter was downed.

500 more troops met their end too, all for a few metres of muddy land and Putin's ego.

#RussiansGoHome Image
Here's the daily update from #London too, which again indicates how quiet things are... but one of my followers in particular will be furious with another use of the word "likely" instead of "probably"😅 Image

Welcome to a new thread for Monday 10 April with all the news from the conflict in #Ukraine.

It's Day 411 of #Russia's bombs raining down on civilians.

I got a lot of feedback y'day for mentioning the original 2014 invasion, and today's a bit of a landmark, reaching day 3,333.
Sunday was much busier than many recent weekends: no religious pause from #Russia on what was Orthodox Palm Sunday

A lot of destruction, deaths of a father and daughter, a fightback in #Bakhmut, invaders' camp hit in Zaporizhzhia region and more, all here
Personnel losses for #Russia starting to creep back up again.

This may be due to the pinpoint strikes with #HIMARS and other rockets as much as close combat in #Donetsk.

Little change elsewhere - artillery hits still slightly above average.
All figures estimated by #Ukraine Image

Day 409 of the war and here's the daily thread for Saturday.

A quiet start to the weekend, but #Russia's aggression continues as they try to claim the small #Donetsk towns of #Bakhmut #Mariinka and #Avdiivka.

All the news here, throughout the day in one handy place⬇️
Quite a lot of news again yesterday from "leaked" NATO docs, #Russia land-mining, the weakening of the ruble, Russians sabotaging jets for #Ukraine, Occupiers eating endangered animals and loads of #RussiaOnFire incidents

Click and scroll here to catch up
I think I was one of the first western journalists to report this, the last entry on yesterday's thread, so worth a retweet again this morning.

The worry is #Russia often accuses others of what it does itself.

Hello and welcome to Daily Thread 408 bringing you all the news that matters around #Russia's terror war on #Ukraine.

Day 408 is Friday. Lots of news yesterday to catch up on more fires in Russia, explosions in Melitopol, surrendering Russians, click here
First today news of a light airplane crash in #Florida.

It wasn't evident of first but one of those killed is an associate director of the defence manufacturer/developer Raytheon. It recently won a contract to make new arms for #Ukraine.

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
Here's the daily log od losses for #Russia in #Ukraine.

Numbers continue to be lower than all of winter, according to #Ukraine

#Russia concentrating on defence in many places and sacrificing fewer troops. #Bakhmut and #Avdiivka virtually the only places where the invaders press Image
