#Russia's losses in the last 24 hours show a marked decrease in he amount of equipment destroyed compared to the recent trend.
However, #Ukraine is killing more and more soldiers as Russians continue kamikaze tactics in #Donetsk with the one resource they have plenty of: people.

Idid mention about #Wagner and the UK reaction last night in the thread. But in case you missed the front page of the Times then, here's a reminder of their lead story:

News of a potentially deadly attack on a military training ground in #Russia
Two drones packed with explosives smashed into the base in the #Voronezh region.
14 soldiers were injured but they claim no deaths, which seems unlikely.

Outrage in #Russia at the latest editions of @FamilyGuyonFOX
An MP in #Chelyabinsk wants it banned as residents are shown living in puddles and drinking too much!
But Fox already refused to sell rights to Russia.
In the new season the family goes in search of hackers.

Love this! For 9 May, an activist in #Kazakstan brought a toilet to the monument of a "Soviet hero"
Toilets are among the more bizarre things being looted by #Russia's army from the occupied parts of #Ukraine.

#Russia says today there was an unsuccessful attempt to damage the Druzhba oil pipeline.
The interesting thing is it's in the #Bryansk village of #Sven, officials say it was hit by artillery with 10cm holes discovered on empty tanks. But it's 150KM FROM #UKRAINE!
#FriendlyFire?

A 54 year old man tried to show his love for the Terrorist State by flying the Aquafresh rag🇷🇺 from a paraglider over #Tatarstan.
The machine though seems to have decided to denazify the wannabe pilot who died after this.

On 9 May two people in #Moscow were fined for wearing the wrong coloured clothes!
It's now apparently a crime to wear yellow and blue in #Putin's "free" #Russia
Attached is a translation of independent RU site Baza's post just so you know I haven't made it up!

#Poland has changed the name of the Russian city #Kaliningrad
The exclave which borders Poland (near Gdańsk) is named after a former Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet.
So it's now Królewiec, though when I was there many called it by the more historic Königsberg.

A rocket which fell in #Poland 5 months ago WAS Russian.
The Kh-55 Cruise missile landed near #Bydgoszcz in December, but was only discovered last month.
It's believed it was fired from one of #Russia's jet flying from #Belarus.

This is how it looks in #Sverdlovsk region today - not fog but smoke in literally 100s of towns and villages.
By the way #Chelyabinsk is now the 4th oblast (region) to announce a state of emergency due to wildfires.

The regional council for #Sverdlovsk announced yesterday arrests had been made for arson.
I believed this was a deliberate attempt to try to deflect the blame for its negligence.
Today local police have said "it's nonsense. No arson, no arrests"

How convenient... #Russia claims they've discovered mass graves in occupied #Donbas.
Aleksandr Bastrykin of the "investigative committee" says 5,000 civilians have been killed by #Ukraine since 2014.
So, they invaded in 2014 and 9 years later they've just "found" mass graves?🤡

But will the Government in Tblisi act?

We're still awaiting real confirmation or proof of #Russia's forces being forced back in #Bakhmut' (see last night's posts)
However, #Ukraine doesn't seem to be running out of shells or rockets there😉

Developments in occupied #Luhansk with what seems like a big attack there - news on that in the next tweet.
But yesterday I wrote about #Ukraine hitting two towns in the region.
Now there's video of the strike on #Kadiivka too:

Now Occupiers report ANOTHER attack today on #Kadiivka (RU: #Stakhanov)
Three HIMARS rockets hit a residential building according to #Russia's propagandists, who say one woman was injured
If it was HIMARS and was #Ukraine firing the building likely housed invading soldiers

What took them so long?
#Russia's ambassador was summoned by #Poland's Foreign Ministry today and "handed a note of protest"
@SkyNews report the incident for the first time, says it happened on 7 May. But that's wrong, as you can see from this post:

He also had a vegan cookbook with him which had some Ukrainian recipes, so he had to be guilty!

The wild fires continue to take lives and cause huge problems in #Russia, yet go largely unreported elsewhere.
This was the situation on the #Omsk-#Tyumen' highway a little earlier. Amazingly people are happy to drive through it!

...and this photo is in the #Sverdlovsk region.
It's taken just outside the village of #Striganskoe, east of #Yekaterinburg.
Finally they tried to make fire-breaks.
