#StandWithUkraine

Another 540 Russians were killed in #Ukraine yesterday, according to estimates by #Kyiv.

#Russia also still losing above average numbers of artillery systems on the frontline.

#RussiansGoHome Image
Among the invaders' equipment destroyed recently is a R-330Zh "Zhitel" jamming station.

#Ukraine's Special Operations forces published this video of the moment they hit the hidden Zhitel. It will have been a huge part of electronic warfare in #Donetsk and a big loss to #Russia.
1/2
#Russia has stepped up its bombing campaign in #Kherson and #Zaporizhzhia in recent days.

Remember these are two areas the Kremlin claims are Russian, but they continue to kill and cause pain to what are supposed to be their "own people"

I reported aerial bombs last night..
2/2
1 person was killed, 2 were wounded in #Kherson yesterday. #Russia subjected the region to 46 shellings , firing 185 shells from heavy artillery, UAVs and aviation.

In #Zaporizhzhia 19 villages were hit in 57 attacks with artillery + drones.

Residential areas were targeted
Meanwhile in #Zaporizhzhia region,Telegram channel RIA #Melitopol gives more evidence of #Russia's attempt to wipe away all trace of #Ukraine.

A huge new list is published of all the city's street names - any with Ukrainian roots are renamed to Soviet "heroes" ImageImageImageImage
Bloomberg reports that Putin personally approved the arrest of American journalist Evan Gershkovich.

British Intel asks the question - is there another reason why #Russia is cancelling "Victory" parades for the 9 May holiday?

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine Image
A bit of an aside, but if you are following the "US Intel Leaks" story, then this article will be very interesting and has been made available free by WP.

But it probably raises more questions than answers about veracity and reasons for the leak.

#RussiaOnFire

A huge blaze erupted on the outskirts of #Moscow overnight.

The fire in the town of #Khimki engulfed the local farmers' market and almost took out a modern shopping centre. No one was injured.
#Sloviansk was hit by missiles again this morning.

In the early hours, two of #Russia's S-300s slammed into a school yard, damaging No.8 school itself and surrounding homes.

The other rocket hit the city waterworks. No casualties are reported.

#RussiaisATerroistState ImageImage
The first Black Sea Security Conference is taking place in #Romania.

The coalition continues to stand-up to #Russia's bullying and terrorism.

#Ukraine's Defence Minister has arrived!

Delighted to be asked, and to volunteer, to make the voiceover for @NaUKMA for a new promotional video.

I've been closely connected with #Ukraine's most patriotic and historic university for over two decades.

#SlavaUkraini
The Hague has ordered #Russia to pay #Ukraine's Naftogaz $5 billion compensation.

The Arbitration Tribunal ruled this covers losses and lost property (drilling rigs etc) in #Crimea from the illegal occupation in 2014.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine Image
In #Crimea today an unexplained explosion reported by the Telegram Channel Crimean Wind.

They report a lot of #Russia's military equipment was in the area when the explosion happened near the village of #Krinichki.

However it could have been testing or training. ImageImage
#Ukraine's nuclear energy agency says a mine exploded in the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, currently Occupied by #Russia's troops.

This post on its Telegram channel says the explosion, near a control room in the 4th power unit, was heard by local workers. ImageImage
The EU Council has agreed to allocate 1 billion euros for ammunition for #Ukraine

EU's Head of Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, said. "There is no better demonstration of the EU's united resolve and determination to continue to support Ukraine's legitimate right to self-defence."
#Norway has expelled 15 diplomats from #Russia's embassy in #Oslo.

The Norwegian Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt described the 15 as "a threat to Norway."

No panic in #Crimea... just gunfire heard on the streets of #Sevastopol today.

#CrimeaIsUkraine
Seen in occupied #Kakhovka in #Kherson region.

The note tells residents to prepare an emergency suitcase and then flee to Ufa or Tyumen in #Russia😅 Image
Wonder if this is included in the tourist brouchures in #Russia?

Beautiful occupied #Crimea - beaches, resorts and err... trenches and troop firing positions.
Can they build a bomb shelter in the sand too?😂

#CrimeaIsUkraine #RussiansGoHome
#Russia's FSB has named another Ukrainian in the hunt for the killers of criminal and war-blogger Vladlen Tatarsky.

36yo Yuriy Denisov is alleged to have sent the statue to Dariya Trepova. After the explosion Denisov is said to have fled to #Turkiye.

#StandWithUkraine ImageImage
#Russia's propaganda channels show video of an alleged rocket attack on a school in #NovaKakhovka, in the occupied part of #Kherson.

The video is too graphic of the person who's presumed to have died, but it does not show a school nor further details of casualties. ImageImage
Meanwhile a 62 year old man has died in #Kherson after #Russia shelled a park.

A 55 year old man was also injured during the attack in the Dnipro district of the city.

Again the video is too graphic, these are screenshots.

#RussiaIsATerroristState ImageImageImage
Also in #Kherson oblast, a little further up the coast, another school has been destroyed.

This is in the village of #Zmiivka near #Beryslav.

#StopRussia Image
I know you missed him! The Occupiers' "Calendar Man" is back!

He was seen out and about in #Luhansk region today after what has all the hallmarks of a #HIMARS attack in #Svatove. Details are scarce, but looks like a good place for troops to have been. ImageImageImageImage
* BREAKING *

#Germany has given #Poland consent to transfer Mig-29 fighter jets to #Ukraine.

Reuters reports the U.S. will make an arrest today in the #DiscordLeaks investigation.

It's believed a National Guardsman will be detained in Massachusetts
It's very tough for #Ukraine in #Bakhmut with #Russia still making incremental gains.

However 🇺🇦General Staff says it's aviation carries out 3 strikes today, hitting two enemy control points, a radar station and a radar station.

pravda.com.ua/news/2023/04/1…
oops, sorry the last tweet should have said "....hitting two enemy control points, military equipment, weapons and a radar station"
Shooting and an explosion heard in #Melitopol'

It's believed to be near the airfield again. Most likely #Russia conducts training sessions in the Occupied city.
Occupiers admit the fresh water situation in #Russia controlled parts of #Kherson and #Zaporizhzhis is "critical".

The invaders have not been able to repair the canal they damaged at #Kakhovka.
#Berdyansk is particularly badly hit right now.

ria-m.tv/news/316882/ok…
Looks like they got their man - or at least a suspect.

The media named Jack Teixeira as the young man thought to be responsible for leaking top-secret documents in the USA. ImageImageImage
Around 50 or more Russians are thought to have been killed in this hit by #Ukraine on enemy forces in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.

It came on the outskirts of #Hulyaipole, where #Russia's forces made a camp. Looks like #HIMARS may have paid a visit.
#Russia's main agitator in #Moldova has been sentenced (in absentia) to 15 years in jail.

Ilan Shor also loses all his property, valued at around $250m, according to the final decision of the appeal court. Shor is thought to be in #Israel.

A picture's emerged online supposedly on #Wagner troops "raping a colleague with a mop."

It's distasteful and cannot be verified at this stage, so I won't post it, but just letting you all know.
You can probably find it elsewhere if you look for it.

As we wind towards the end of another week, let me remind you this is Week 60 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine.

This is the start of another daily thread for Day 415 of the illegal Russian aggression.

Here's the link for yesterday's 🧵

News of another strike on the suburbs of #Zaporizhzhia during the early hours this morning.

All we have so far is this statement:
"As a result of night shelling by #Russia, there were no casualties or injuries. A hit to the territory of critical infrastructure was recorded."
As I've been reporting, things are incredibly difficult in #Bakhmut for #Ukraine's troops right now.
That's echoed in the daily British update today: Image

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

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

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.
