Boris Pistorius said the Tornado and Eurofighter jets have completely different capabilities "than those required in the current combat situation in #Ukraine."
A tearful competitor at the World Ballroom Championships (no, I didn't know there was one either!)
She's Ukrainian and angry that hosts #Moldova refused to allow them to walk on with the #Ukraine flag. So she refused to take to the floor at all, posting a message on social media
#Ukraine published photos from the airfield attacked by #Russia when 🇺🇦officers tried to get an emey pilot to defect.
I wrote about this yesterday, with a criminal case now opened against the Ukrainians who acted without authority.
This is Kanatovo airfield in #Kirovohrad region

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.
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.
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)
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.

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.
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
