Day 419 of the war in Europe.
#Russia's illegal war & full invasion of #Ukraine.
The day Bunker Boy emerged from his Kremlin bunker!

Yesterday was very interesting with Wagner troops confessing war crimes, more Russian fires, collaborators + more, here⬇️

The scale of the war is difficult to comprehend for those living far away. But @SkyNews brings it to life with this report.

15% (381) of all education establishments in #Ukraine have been damaged or destroyed by #Russia in the first year.

#Russia's President Putin (or at least a lookalike) has appeared in #Ukraine's Occupied Territories.

He is said to have flown into #Kherson region to visit the "Dnepr" Command of troops and then taken a helicopter to the "East" Command in #Luhansk.

#RussiansGoHome
Britain's update concentrates on #Bakhmut', which still holds, but the MoD in London says #Russia is making "creeping advances"

#StandWithUkraine Image
Much lower figures today as #Ukraine publishes the daily losses suffered by #Russia in the last 24 hours of the war. Still another 470 Russian families will be grieving at some point in the future when they realise their relative won't be coming home.

#StopRussia Image
Yesterday I reported on the Governor of #Bryansk in #Russia describing how they'd foiled a border crossing by #Ukraine, implying soldiers tried to attack

Turns out it was a man on a bike! Unfortunately he died when hitting a mine.

#StopRussia
#Kherson has come under "massive fire" this morning.

At least six people are injured while some locals say there are dead, but that's not confirmed.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
First video from #Kherson where at least six are wounded in heavy shelling.

Most badly hit seems to be the market in the centre.
Here someone films as they try to flee one strike which shattered glass, but explosions continue as they move away.
#SaveUkraine
#Egypt has reportedly agreed to supply Ukraine with 152mm and 155mm shells.

A blow to #Russia, but it's likely Egypt is carefully playing both sides.
A drone appears to have fallen in occupied #Donetsk this morning.

This video's been published showing the UAV near school number 57 in the Kyivskyi district of the city.

#DonetskIsUkraine
Pictures emerge from heavy attacks by #Russia on #Sloviansk (RU: #Slavyansk) in the early hours of this morning.

Attack drones & rockets damaged 5 high-rise buildings, 7 houses, a security facility, a medical facility plus entertainment and business centres.
No casualties. ImageImageImageImage
Three civilians have been killed by #Russia's airstrikes in #Luhansk.

This house in the village of Novoiehorivka was hit. This is about 20km SW of #Svatove, close to the state border with #Kharkiv oblast. Image
Despite rains easing, more water from upstream means large areas of #Kyiv region are now under water.

Flooding has caused widespread damage in 3 regions of #Ukraine in the past week.

#StandWithUkraine Image
#Kherson update.

The death of one person has been confirmed after the shelling of the city centre market in Kherson.

The local governor says 7 others were injured.
#RussiaIsATerroristState ImageImageImage
President #Zelenskyy visited the front line in #Avdiivka.

The visit came hours after news of Putin's supposed visit to occupied regions, which many think was recorded at the weekend.

Avdiivka is a real hot-spot, being the closest #Ukraine held area to Donetsk and Horlivka. Image
Another investigation after a new video emerged of a Commander in #Ukraine's army hitting a subordinate.

This was filmed on 26 March in #IvanoFrankivsk
Absolutely zero surprise that #Russia rejected the appeal of @WSJ journalist @evangershkovich at a sham court hearing in #Moscow.

#Ukraine has urged the President of #Brazil to come and see for himself the truth.

"Lula" recently criticised the U.S. and the EU for seeking war not peace and alleged the war was because of "decisions made by two countries."

Peace is easy - #RussiansGoHome, problem solved Lula
More leaflets being distributed in occupied #Enerhodar, urging people to evacuate their children to Crimea.

The evacuation itself is scheduled for May 5-7 according to #Russia's invaders.

Fears of the counter-attack? Stealing more children? Or both?

#StopRussia Image
Local officials in #Irkutsk denied there was a cemetery for those killed in the war, but local journalists have found the secret burial sites.

Some relatives had been searching for their dead loved ones and only now can they grieve.

#Poland, perhaps under pressure from the #EU has agreed to end the ban on imported grain from #Ukraine.

Warsaw has agreed to end the embargo in just over 3 days, on Thursday night.

#StandWithUkraine
#Russia is banned from Basketball at the Paris Olympics.

@FIBA has stuck to its guns and continued to refuse to allow the Russians to participate because of the country's illegal war. So Russia will miss the qualifiers and cannot go to next years #Olympics.

#StandWithUkraine
Well done 'Fellas'

Less than a week ago I reported this.
Now Pernod Ricard has accounced, because of the threat of a boycott, it is withdrawing Absolut Vodka from the Russian market.

#Ukraine claims it has shot down all 7 drones fired by #Russia in #Zaporizhzhia oblast tonight.

6 #Iran made kamikaze "Shahed" UAVs were hit by Ukrainian air defence.

#StopRussia
It's reported tonight that at least one Patriot air defence system is already in #Ukraine

#Germany has officially handed over the US made system along with the missiles.

With a range of 160km, this equipment can go a long way to ending #Russia's air superiority.
#SaveUkraine
⚡️Breaking⚡️
A drone hits an Enlistment Office in the #Bryansk oblast of #Russia.

Regional governor Aleksandr Bogomaz immediately said a #Ukraine UAV attacked the Military Commissariat of #Novozybkiv. Windows were broken but no injuries.

Are they sure it's not angry Russians?

Day 426 of #Russia's needless and disastrous full invasion and war in #Ukraine.

A reasonably quiet start to Tuesday 25 April.
Need a quick recap of yesterday's news? Click below:

#StandWithUkraine

The level of #Russia's losses in the last 24 hours remains in line with recent days. Another 690 killed in #Ukraine and we remain on course for 200,000 in mid-May.

Also note a very large 31 vehicle/fuel tanks.

#RussiansGoHome Image
British Intel today comments on the figures. They are slightly behind the 8-ball because as readers here will know, the trend is slightly up again. But yes, down from the insane numbers when #Russia was launching non stop attacks with cannon fodder.

Welcome to my daily #Ukraine thread for the 425th time!

Here every single day without fail to bring you the news of #Russia's illegal invasion in one handy place.

If you like what I do, tips are welcome. Buy me a coffee (see my profile) or send me a story tip via DM.
Sundays are often fairly quiet, even in a war it seems. But not yesterday.

One of the longest Sunday threads for over six months of fighting in #Ukraine.

If you need to catch up, here's the link for the start of yesterday's 🧵

I'll start in #Russia where a drone "stuffed with explosives" has been found near #Noginsk in Moscow region.

The 3-metre UAV weighing 85kgs "fell from the sky".
Media are saying it's one of #Ukraine's UJ-22 drones, with Canadian M112 explosive charges (unverified)

Hello and welcome to the daily "#Ukraine" thread for Day 424 of the awful and illegal war started by #Russia.

For those of us in #England, happy St George's Day. It's also London Marathon day, so let's wish luck to this remarkable man: #StandWithUkraine

Yesterday we saw #Russia's brotherly love for Eton Musk. Russian advances in #Bakhmut. Explosions in occupied #Melitopol as well as usual attacks on the liberated part of #Kherson and #Kharkiv.

Review anything you missed by clicking and scrolling⬇️

For the first time the @TheStudyofWar states that #Ukraine troops have claimed land south of the river (left bank) in #Kherson region.

I'm not 100% convinced. I'd say this coastal region is uncontrolled, with very regular sorties by 🇺🇦 tactical squads:

And so begins the daily thread for Day 423.
This is the only 🧵you need for all the news about #Ukraine and its defence against #Russia's illegal invasion.

Missed something yesterday? It's all here:

Quite a good 'haul' for #Ukraine in the lat 24 hours on the battlefield.

Four anti-aircraft systems and three "special equipment" items could be crucial ahead of the counter-attack.

In addition, #Russia lost another 680* soldiers.

*estimate by #Kyiv Image
London today gets around to countering some of the masses of disinfo #Russia creates, which trolls, bots and useful idiots gleefully spread.

It's Friday already and here is Daily Thread No. 422 covering events in #Ukraine and #Russia's illegal war.

Yesterday was fairly quiet, but if you need to catch up on events, click and scroll here⬇️

1/2
First, one big update on this story in #Russia which broke last night.

The Kremlin has actually admitted they bombed themselves in #Belgorod! #FriendlyFire on steroids!

2/2
They also admit 2 people were injured when #Russia bombed its own city, #Belgorod.

Look at the first photo - a car blown onto the roof of a supermarket!

The Kremlin says "abnormal derailment of aviation ammunition occurred" from a Su-34 VKS aircraft.

The bomb fell off😅🤡 ImageImageImageImage

It's Day 421 of #Russia's full invasion and this is the war news thread for Thursday 20 April.

Yesterday saw a late night scare for residents in #Kyiv, while Russia attacked #Kherson, #Zapoprizhzhia, #Odesa and #Donetsk regions.
Review it all here⬇️

#Russia's daily losses continue to creep up.

670 more soldiers losing their lives needlessly and at some point today the 185,000th troop will be killed in #Ukraine fighting a non-existent cause for a regime in Moscow as sick as Hitler's Nazis.

Fuel tanks destroyed high again. Image
Overnight #Russia launched another drone attack, this time in the #Dnipropetrovsk region.

All six attack UAVs were shot down.

So far at least relatively few reports of attacks on population centres today.
