This is the start of daily thread number 430 of the illegal war in #Ukraine, with all the news in one place.

A very good Saturday morning to you; it's been a lively start to the day for #Russia's occupiers.

If you want to support independent journalism, see my bio to buy me a☕️
First though the usual link to the start of yesterday's thread. Take a scroll if you missed anything or need a catch-up:

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

1/2
#Crimea has been illegally occupied by #Russia since 2014. It was the very start of this war, far predating the full invasion 14 months ago.

But the Occupiers are getting worried. Overnight an oil depot was set on fire when a drone hit Kozachi Bay. No injuries reported: ImageImageImage
2/2

The so-called "Governor" of #Sevastopol on #Crimea says the hige fire won't affect fuel supplies in the region.

Mikhail Razvozhaev says "These reserves were not involved in the supply of fuel to gas stations."
So that means #Ukraine hit army #Russia reserves, right Misha?
As predicted, the total of #Russia's dead in this sickening war, leaps over 190,000*
15/16 May should see that number hit 200,000.

Equipment losses for the invaders generally low, but vehicles/fuel tanks again above average

* #Ukraine estimate Image
More evidence, in the i paper, of #Russia's mercenary group's involvement in the conflict in #Sudan.

#Wagner troops are operating in both the capital #Khartoum and, maybe more worryingly, #PortSudan from where most evacuations will happen after today.

The update from British Intel this morning is interesting.

London takes note of #Russia's claims over yesterday's murder of civilians in #Ukraine, particularly in #Uman'
But the conclusion is surely the same:

Oh thank you Caroline for buying me a couple of coffees this morning.

Caramel Latte it will be - Sweet Caroline?

A teenage girl, illegally and forcibly deported from #Ukraine is now being prosecuted by her captors in #Russia.

While her mother in Ukraine prays for her return, Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets says Russia charged the 14yo to keep her captive.

How utterly disgusting to be in a foreign country and feel the need to support the terrorism and civilian murder your regime commits.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

Another 'unexplained' explosion in #Russia

This was spotted in the Glushkivskyi district of #Kursk, close to the border with #Ukraine.

#StopRussia
Two big supporters of mine, Morgan and Toni bought me coffees a little earlier.
So a big thank you to you both💙💛

President Zelenskyy says liberating #Crimea will cost far fewer lives than anticipated.

#Ukraine's President says "Russia is very much weaker. They lost their powerful army of military personnel."

The interview is here but not in English:

The #Ukraine Support Fund initiative, started by the UK, will soon procure more weapons and help.

Among the sought-after equipment are long-range rockets and equipment to ensure the mobility of troops, including bridges and landmine countermeasures.

In #Krasnodar they're denying rumours #Russia has lowered the age for mobilisation🤣

#brainwashing #RussiaIsATerroristState
#RussiaOnFire

Remember fire destroying the village of #Sosva in #Russia?

Well just 100km away another village in #Sverdlovsk is threatened. This was how #Alapayevsk looked from the train. Can't believe any western country would still be running services in these conditions!
Video just in from #Kramatorsk where kamikaze drones hit in the early hours this morning.

Two people were injured in #Russia's latest attack on what authorities say was a private house. One of the injured is a child who's being treated for severe burns.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
This diet of outrageous lies is astonishing.
#Russia's main channel news shows pictures of the massacre it commited in the #Ukraine city of #Uman'

But such is the propaganda and brainwashing they say this was a Ukrainian attack on #Donetsk.
@CurrentTimeTv proved the deception.
Earlier today Yevgeniy Prigozhin threatened to pull out of #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk) if they did not receive more ammunition.

Here's what the #Wagner boss said (English subtitles by @vidtranslator)
There's been shelling in occupied #Donetsk this afternoon.

The Occupiers say one person's dead in the town in the town of #Yasynuvata just north of Donetsk city.

#DonetskIsUkraine ImageImageImageImage
The French company which has been delighting in trading with the Terrorist State, has been under investigation for 3 years.

@AUCHAN_France refused to close its operations in #Russia. Tax paid to #Russia helps kill Ukrainians.

Big situation in #Russia this evening.

Locals in the border region of #Bryansk report shelling at, or near, the railway station.

The local Governor says two people were killed in the village of Suzemka when a house suffered a direct hit.
#RussiaOnFire

This blaze broke out at 8pm tonight at a factory in #Perm.

The Motovilikha plant used to supply shells and other ammo for the Defence industry and may have restarted production since the war began.

Officials only say a transformer box was on fire.
#StopRussia
#Putin is wanted on war crimes charges for the forced deportation (i.e. kidnapping) of children from #Ukraine

It's now known around 100,000 children were given "medicals" and 70% found to have "chronic problems" which required them to be sent to #Russia😡

#Ukraine wakes after another bloody and murderous early morning.

It's Day 429 of the war and more civilians have died in #Russia's latest indiscriminate attack.

All the news right here in one place. Replies/retweets gratefully accepted to keep the account visible!
#SlavaUkraini
Yesterday I made a typo - it was Day 428 and not 427.

If you missed anything on Thursday, catch up right here:

#StopRussia

At least three people are dead and 8 injured when cruise missiles hit a city previously almost untouched by the war..

#Russia's barrage at around 04:00 this morning saw two rockets land in #Uman in central #Ukraine.
A large apartment block was hit and some warehouses nearby.

All the news, all day in one handy place.
For a recap of yesterday's news, click this link and scroll:

Straight to the news from #Mykolaiv (RU: #Nikolaev) which has been attacked by cruise missiles this morning.

One person's known to be dead and 23 injured after one of #Russia's Black Sea fleet fired on the peaceful city in southern #Ukraine, hitting an apartment block. ImageImageImageImage
#Russia's losses a little higher in terms of equipment today but a little lower in terms of body bags.

Welcome along to my daily thread with everything you need to know about #Russia's illegal invasion of #Ukraine.

Wednesday is Day 427.
If you missed y'day's news, no fear, the link is here!

And what a day with loads of stories, particularly #RussiaOnFire

26 April is also the anniversary of the #Chornobyl #Chernobyl disaster in #Ukraine.

The repressive Soviet occupiers of the time refused to admit a problem and even forced kids in #Kyiv on to the streets a few days later for the MayDay parade.

Very little to report today on #Russia's losses of the last 24 hours (as estimated by #Ukraine)

Broadly in line with recent days.

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:
