Hello everybody - let's get the show on the road for another week!

It's the original, the one & only daily🧵with all you need to know about what's happening in #Ukraine's defence against #Russia, which has reached day 446.

Catch up on Sunday's news here:
More very damaging losses for #Russia yesterday.

#Ukraine's figures show almost 7% of all destroyed artillery systems happened in the last 24 hours.

Vehicles, fuel tanks and special equipment also above the mean as well as killed soldiers.
#RussiansGoHome Image
The British update today questions #Russia's air defence.

It's always been a problem for Moscow after sending most of its domestic protection to #Ukraine, only to have to bring some back as #Kyiv shows more ability to hit long range targets.

#StandWithUkraine Image
Already an early morning hit on #Russia's forces in #Luhansk.

The Occupiers say this is a "former" flight school (VVAUSh)

Again they're "convinced" it's #StormShadow.
Clearly they have any idea of the destructive ability of the UK/French missile. They will know when it hits!
In the #Russia region of #Bryansk, a building of the local administration was hit by shelling.

This was the village of #Khoromnoe in the Klimovsky district. Mash media spoke to someone who claims his house had been destroyed too.

#StopRussia
News of another hit to #Russia's invaders this morning.

Not the most visually stunning video - but the sounds will be music to #Ukraine's ears as explosions hit #Tokmak.

It's the latest in a string of attacks in the #Zaporizhzhia region.

#RussiansGoHome
Another problem in #Bryansk for the instigators of this war.

Russian media report a drone hitting military equipment stored in a warehouse.

They admit 5 pieces of equipment were damaged.
#StandWithUkraine
"Boris who?"

I wonder if BJ is jealous?

#BakhmutHolds

The commander of #Ukraine's Ground Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi says their advance is the first success of offensive actions.

Dep Defence Min Hanna Malyar noted that heavy fighting is ongoing there and #Russia is bringing assault troops to the outskirts.

This morning #Russia hit the area with kamikaze drones. The building was seriously damaged but no civilians were injured.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Late last night a charity in #Switzerland revealed it had been the victim of #Russia's aggression.

Four people have died in a rocket attack on #Avdiivka, despite sheltering at the time

Officials say 4 middle aged people, 2 men + 2 women were the victims but others may be in the rubble.

They were in a shelter set up in a long-defunct railway hospital.
#RussiaisATerroistState Image
1/2
Yet another explosion in #Luhansk. This looks to be the work of #Ukraine's resistance and may have been an assassination attempt on the so called LPR Minister of Internal Affairs Igor Kornet.

He and five others were injured.
#RussiansGoHome Image
2/2
The explosion in occupied #Luhansk happened in a hair dressers where the 'minister' was a regular.

Initial it was reported to be a grenade, but local police now think an IED caused the blast.

#StopRussia
A reminder of what Britain's pledged for #Ukraine today Defence Sec Ben Wallace says it will ensure the West would not be tempted to force Ukraine to make concessions.

No plans for jets, but the pilot training shows the coalition is likely to oblige soon.
A former employee of the US embassy in #Russia has been charged with illegal collaboration.

62 year old Robert Shonov of Vladivostok worked in the US Consulate in the city. He's been ordered to be detained for 3 months in notorious Lefortovo prison.
He faces 8 years in jail.
More gestures of goodwill in #Bryansk?

#Klintsy is the area where all #Russia's aircraft started falling out of the sky this weekend.
Now local news channel reports this.. Image
Four more of #Russia's drones have been shot down over #Kherson today.

#Ukraine's military destroyed two Lancet attack drones plus two reconnaissance UAVs (one Orlan-10 + one Supercam)

#StandWithUkraine
The @WHO is closing its #Moscow office and transferring the work to #Copenhagen.

Good move.
The FBI has arrested two Russians, accused of supplying Russian airlines with parts for its planes.

The New York Times reports Oleg Patsulya and a forger could face charges of violating US export controls.

#StopRussia ImageImage
Occupiers in #Luhansk have released a new video showing clips and photos from inside the building bombed today.

The so called Interior Minister was among 7 people injured in the barber's shop.
Could be an attack by partisans, but may well be #Russia trying to eliminate a problem
It's only on quieter days I get to remind you of the daily shelling and destruction of places in #Sumy oblast or #Nikopol in Dnipropetrovsk.

Today 30 shells hit the latter. Two people were injured.

#SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState Image
Guess which country has blocked the 8th tranche of the European Peace Funding to Ukraine?

Yep, #Hungary!
€500 million was due to be allocated for weapons for #Ukraine next Monday.
The spokesman for #Ukraine's eastern forces said of #Bakhmut this evening:
"if the enemy does not find an opportunity to replenish forces there, then we will simply destroy them."

#BakhmutHolds

#StandWithUkraine
It's claimed in #Ukraine tonight that the Chairman of the Supreme Court has been arrested.

Vsevolod Knyazev is suspected of taking a bribe of $2.7 million. He's been in the post for 18 months.

NABU (anti corruption) has not confirmed the arrest, but posted the first photo here. ImageImage
Days after #Poland's move to rename #Kaliningrad, it looks like #Latvia will do the same.

The language commission has recommended using the traditional Baltic name #Karaļauči (Karalyauchi) or the historical German name #Königsberg instead.

Explosions in #Kramatorsk tonight.

Shelling reported, but no further details yet.

#StandWithUkraine
#Russia tried to destroy #Ukraine, particularly targeting the energy industry.

The Ukrainians came through the dark and freezing winter and in a big sign of its recovery, the country is now exporting electricity to #Poland from its nuclear power plants.

wnp.pl/energetyka/pol…
Incredible footage released by #Ukraine's military, which looks genuine, but I cannot verify.

Often you hear #Russia spouting the line "we don't abandon our own" to galvanise support from the gullible public.

This video proves that's a myth, but they did take the guy's helmet!
President of #France, @EmmanuelMacron tonight promises long-range missiles as part of new aid package for #Ukraine.

So confirmation of another attack on an oil refinery in #Russia, the second in 2 months at this partuicular site.

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.

So straight to the seas around occupied #Crimea where the big news happened overnight.

One of #Russia's speedboats was taken out by #Ukraine, with its Intel releasing this video.

A Magura V5 naval drone was successful near Uzaka Bay in the west of the occupied territory.

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:

All yesterday's news can be found here if you missed anything:

Overnight #Ukraine's special services has launched another successful attack on #Russia's oil industry.

Drones attacked a refinery in #Ryazan.
The local governor admits drones attacked but makes no mention of hits to the plant.

And Thursday's daily🧵 starts with another large scale missile attack on #Ukraine.
