As usual, here's a link to the start of yesterday's thread as I know many like to catch up on what they missed.
Tuesday ended with a bang in #Russia as a drone hit an army registration office.
Also attacks in #Kherson + #Zaporizhzhia and much more:

Very disturbing article here showing the extent of #Russia's spying on pretty much all of us.
Seems pretty much all embassies are just used as centres of espionage.

I know you've been waiting for the "daily losses" tweet and I'm here to serve!
An uptick today in both equipment and dead soldiers as #Russia's army continues to send young men to their deaths for a metre of land.
Now approaching 200,000 dead - projection mid May

#Russia did hit #Odesa (RU: #Odessa) early this morning in another mass drone attack.
Although 10 of the 12 Iranian made kamikaze UAVs were shot down the invaders did hit "a recreational infrastructure facility", a subsequent fire was quickly put out and no one was hurt.

It's all about disinformation today in the update from British Intelligence.

A Russian bank which based itself in #Hungary, has announced it's withdrawing from the country
It seems likely International Investment Bank hoped to go under the radar as far as sanctions were concerned. But as soon as they were 'caught' the IIB decides to leave the EU entirely

This video is nice and gaining some traction... but it's a very old story! I first reported on it back in June 2022 when Canada's Globalnews had an exclusive on #Ukraine's teenage drone hero

Drama in #Kyiv this evening as a huge flash lit up the sky. Obviously many feared a missile attack, then rumours that a satellite had fallen to earth.
It turned out to be a meteor, caught on one security camera here:

This is supposedly #Vuhledar after shelling earlier today. I cannot verify this is a new photo and there is no timestamp, but I did not find it in online searches.
