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.
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. #SaveUkraine
The renaming of #Russia's forces is the rather mundane daily update from London on the war on #Ukraine.
#Ukraine still holds the western part of the town in #Donetsk. Relatively few troops are there and they are rotated often to keep them fresh. Almost like a small attack force, they go in, attack #Russia's positions and move out 3-4 days later.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is in #Kyiv.
Jens Stoltenberg's unannounced visit started with a commemmoration to fallne #Ukraine soldiers on Mykhailivska Square in the centre of the capital. #StandWithUkraine
Last night I posted a photo of damage in #Vuhledar but wasn't sure it was new.
Now soldiers of the 72nd OMBr. have confirmed an airstrike by #Russia demolished the residential block in the town. They released these photos and wrote about "the deaths of peaceful people."
1/2 #Russia says two drones have crashed inside its territory.
One UAV, alleged to have been launched by #Ukraine, was brought down "by electronic warfare" just short of the village of Murom in #Belgorod region. Explosives were being carred by the drone.
#Ukraine's investigating after an unauthorised plot went wrong.
Various personnel thought a pilot in #Russia would defect + fly his plane to Kirovohrad region. But Russian found out and bombed the airfield, killing 1 person and destroying 2 jets.
This one's interesting - an electronics factory is on fire in #Moscow.
The "Kvant" complex on the outskirts of #Russia's capital reported a blaze on the second floor. The building was evacuated. They produce TVs for Chinese companies but could help the war effort
The 'neutrtal' country has also taken action against the "news agency" RIA FAN, which is owned by Wagner's founder Yevhen Prigozhin. The Swiss realised it's spreading pro-#Russia propaganda and disinformation.
A 59 year old man's the latest civilian victim of #Russia's war.
He was killed when rockets hit the village of #Kizomys, on the banks of the river Dnipro, in #Kherson region this afternoon.
#Russia recently worked out #Ukraine's tactics so I can write about it now. They'd "let" Russians drive them out of a building, but only after laying explosives. When the maximum number of invaders were inside for shelter, boom🧨🔥
Just disgusted that #Germany placed an entry ban on Aiden, which prevents him returning to his home/family in #Ukraine.
He's a hero; does🇩🇪 think he's a criminal?
#Russia's army doing their best to sabotage the war effort again.
Some kind driver managed to overturn this anti-aircraft missile system near the village of Prudne, in #Tula region. They say it's worth about $160m.
Sadly looks like it may still be usable.

It's Friday! The weekend approaches.
It's also the 814th day of #Russia trying to destroy #Ukraine, its language, culture and people, and over 10 years since the first invasion.
For all the news on Day 814 keep clicking back here.
No coffees for 2 days - please help if you can.
Thursday was another busy one.
A day which saw Putin humiliated, #Ukraine attack #Crimea (again) and a load of other stories and videos.
Missed any of it? Just click here and scroll through the day's news:
#Ukraine, a democratic nation, desperate to keep it that way, remains under intense pressure from #Russia, an autocracy led by a despot and indicted war criminal.
All the news all day long in one handy thread. Read on..
#StandWithUkraine
Yesterday we only really had two stories, but they were big ones.
#Putin exiling & side-lining top names from the Kremlin.
And 25 years after the #Russia apartment bombings, 13 were killed in a new attack - but who did it?
Review the news here:
Hello and welcome to Day 807 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.
Each day documenting the news and war crimes committed by indicted war criminal Putin and his Moscow horde as the neo-imperialists try to steal more land and wipe out another culture.
Here's another daily thread...
As always, the quick link back to the starts of yesterday's thread for those who missed some, or all, of Thursday's developments.
And right at the end of the day we saw another oil target inside #Russia being hit by drones!
So confirmation of another attack on an oil refinery in #Russia, the second in 2 months at this partuicular site.
Pershiy Zavod is the largest refinery in the region - the main complex for the processing of commercial oil and gas condensate, and the capacity is 1.2m tons/yr
Day 803 of #Russia's full invasion continues. The war criminals are super confident, tossing away lives of the plebs and useful idiots from Asia, Africa + the Americas.
But #Ukraine fights hard for its existence and supplies filter through to the frontlines.
This is the daily🧵
Today is a holiday in most of the UK, so I allowed myself a later start (no school run!)
Coming up news of #Ukraine hitting a Rusdian boat...
But first the link to yesterday's thread, which turned out to be quite busy.
Many across Europe celebrate a holiday today, the first day of May.
In normal times in #Ukraine it would be a big celebration, with Labour Day followed by Easter and Remembrance/Victory Day. But these are far from normal times. No respite from war. Welcome to the daily thread:
Tuesday saw #Russia's world bring more death to #Kharkiv and to #Odesa for the second time in two days - a video proving the sickening cluster bomb attack on the people the day before.
