And so begins Day 416 of the wretched war.
Bloodthirsty #Russia continues its illegal assault and attempt to destroy #Ukraine.

You've found the start of another daily thread with all the news.

As I'm search/shadowbanned please reply to this (write anything) and retweet to help!
Friday was quite a busy one, unfortunately the news led by another Terrorist Attack by #Russia.

But there was also the surprise of seeing Prigozhin call for an end to the war, and lots more interesting stuff.

Catch up here:

The #UK thinks #Russia's new laws on being able to deliver call-ups via email or text, indicate the Kremlin is preparing for a long war in #Ukraine.

This concurs with most experts' views as the invaders continue to build defences in the Occupied Territories. Image
#Russia's losses today well down on recent days.
Indeed equipment losses are probably as low as I can remember since 24 February 2022.

I'm sure @ragnarbjartur can confirm with his excellent daily charts! Image
One person's been injured overnight in #Sumy region.

#Russia fired grad rockets at the village of #Bilopillya, hitting a farming company.

In #Sloviansk five people remain under the rubble of a house.

As of this morning, 9 people were killed and 21 injured as a result of yesterday's Russian rocket attack.

The Commander of a group defending #Vuhledar + #Avdiivka says they're holding positions, denying #Russia the chance to reach the latter.

Oleksandr Tarnavskyi of the Tavria battalion posted this photo adding "every soldier in the trenches is performing at the highest level." Image
#Ukraine's air force hints the US Patriot Air Defence systems will be in use soon

Spokesman Yuriy Ignat says the promised equipment will arrive "some time after Easter", but refuses to be more specific. "When the first Rashist plane is shot down you will know"

#StandWithUkraine
Earlier this morning two explosions were heard in occupied #Mariupol'

However no further details since, and it could be training of new arrivals from #Russia.

#SaveUkraine
The number of countries committed to seeing #Russia's leaders in the Hague has now reached 34.

#Poland became the most recent nation to join the coalition backing a tribunal into war crimes committed by the Terrorist State.

News In Brief:

#Moscow has cancelled its scheduled MayDay parade (1 May) "due to the threat of terrorism." The 9 May Victory parade will go ahead

#Japan pledges to give #Ukraine $400m to repair critical infrastructure and a further $70m to the UN's Ukraine Development programme
#Ukraine says it has proof that #Russia's regular army is now using convicts in the war.

Previously only #Wagner attempted this recruitment method, but now at least 15 Russian criminals have surrendered in #Donetsk region.

One of the biggest problems this Easter weekend for many in #Ukraine is flooding.

Three regions are on the highest level of alert with widespread instances of damage due to floodwater.

The capital #Kyiv is also suffering - photos/videos in this report:

Wow, 37 replies, 48 retweets so far. Thanks to all the "Fellas" and others for helping amplify my account. Pro-Ukraine accounts are under attack, support your favourites this way by regularly replying.

I've responded to all the replies, hope you see it!
A good and important thread for both nerds and those following the #DiscordLeaks closely.

One of the biggest Russian propagandists to write in English has an interesting background and is definitely NOT where she pretended to be from.

Two more bodies have been retrieved from the ruins of the apartment block in #Sloviansk.

11 people have now died in this Terror Attack by the nation which holds the Presidency of the @UN Security Council.

Nothing to say @antonioguterres?

This video clip is from south of #Kazan.
Locals say it's from near the tank training ground.

Friendly fire anyone?
#StopRussia
Shame on @amazon @Google and @NatGeo
All offer maps showing Occupied Territories in #Ukraine as Russian.

#Russia claims it has captured "two (more) quarters of the northern and southern outskirts of #Artemovsk (#Bakhmut in Ukrainian)"

Reports of #Ukraine troops retreating may well be true, though The Kremlin admits fierce battles continue for 🇷🇺's Wagner and Airborne Forces (VDV).
A mother and daughter have been murdered by #Russia's shelling in #Kherson.

The 48 and 28 year olds were walking near the school in the Tavriiskyi area of the city when killed.

#SlavaUkraini

This looks very much like #Ukraine hitting a Russian base in #Ribizhne.

Ammo, weapons, or a mix of both, exploding at will in the #Luhansk town.
Prigozhin "personally ordered the execution of prisoners of war of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. There are more than 20 such cases."

The founder of Gulagu.net, Vladimir Osechkin said they will publish the full story on Monday, based on testimony from an ex-Wagnerite. Image
LOL - nice to see the #Ukraine flag flying right in the centre of St Petersburg.

This is the Tauride Palace where a session of the CIS Inter-Parliamentary Assembly is taking place.
Seems no one told them Ukraine left the post Soviet relic 5 years ago!
Painting of Easter eggs is especially popular in #Ukraine and #Russia.

Seems the Ukrainian soldiers are preparing some seasonal gifts for the invaders.
#EasterGrenades! Image
#RussiaOnFire

A grassfire is raging out of control in #Tatarstan according to some Telegram channels in #Russia.

I cannot verify this - I just hope authorities are trying not to pretend this is the reason for the smoke in #Kazan, where some speculate about Russian troop deaths

A new day, a new week and Monday 17 April is Day 418 of #Ukraine's existential fight, a struggle for its very independence against the illegal onslaught by #Russia.

What you need is one handy thread for all the news in one place, right?
Well lucky you! Read on...
Yesterday was surprisingly busy for a Sunday, with a lot of claim, counter claim and destruction on what was the Orthodox calendar's Easter Day.

Rocket attacks, church services and a late night hit inside #Russia by drones. Review everything here:

First a quick plug for this which may be of interest to some now and hopefully we can all watch soon:

This is the start of Sunday's daily thread covering all the news, and all you need to know, about #Ukraine's battle for survival against the full invasion by #Russia.

Updated in real time, throughout the day, scroll, share, like and reply to help beat Twitter Ukraine bans!
If you can spare any loose change for a coffee to support my work, there's a Ko-Fi link in my bio, thanks.

And if you need a catch up on yesterday's news, here's the link for the start of Saturday's thread.

So it's Day 417 of the war, and I have to say "Khrystos Voskres" (Christ Is Risen) or "Happy Easter" to all my readers from #Ukraine - and indeed #Russia if they are in the minority which opposes war.
The same wishes to all Orthodox believers celebrating Easter today.

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
