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.
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!
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:
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.
💙💛
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:
Here we go again. Day 414 of #Russia's mission to wipe #Ukraine from the map and continuing its imperialistic goals.
This is the daily thread with all the news you need.

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.
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"😅
