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.
#StopRussia
Bromance in Britain.

Rishi and Ze embrace as the #Ukraine leader touches down in the UK.

Britain has announced training of Ukrainian pilots will start in the summer and pledged 100s of attack drones to help in the defence against #Russia's aggression.

In #Kherson another school was attacked.

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.

The bombing of #Ternopil destroyed its aid being stored there.

The MD of "Licht im Osten" said supplies worth hundreds of thousands of francs were burned.

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.

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."

Serhiy Cherevaty said they've made gains of between 350-2000m on the flanks.
#BakhmutHolds
Five #Ukraine policemen have been injured after evacuation teams came under fire in #ChasivYar

A car belonging to the "White Angel" police unit came under fire while trying to evacuate remaining citizens in the town in #Donetsk, just a few km from #Bakhmut'

#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.

Day 445 of the illegal and repugnant war waged by #Russia on its peaceful neighbour - #Ukraine has never invaded or threatened another country.

The main story tonight is the #Eurovision timed attack on Ukraine which has shocked the world.

This is THE only daily thread you need:
Before we get to the Eurovision related attack, a quick reminder of Saturday's astonishing events.

Four of #Russia's aircraft shot down over Russia as they headed to bomb #Ukraine, more #RussiaOnFire and big explosions in west Ukraine, plus lots more⬇️

At #Eurovision, at elmost the exact moment #Ukraine's act Tvorchi took to the stage, #Russia's missiles bombed the duo's hometown.

The mayor of #Ternopil in west Ukraine reports a non-residential building caught fire in the city. Rescuers are working on the spot.

Welcome to Saturday's #UkraineWar thread on Day 444 of #Russia's invasion.

All the news as always throughout the day in one handy thread, but with a fun #Eurovision twist today which I'll explain in the next tweet.

If you want to buy me a coffee there's a link in my bio🙏💙💛
So what's all this about #Eurovision ?

Well to mark #Ukraine's "hosting" of the final in #Liverpool tonight, in my tweets today there will be winning song titles🎶 in some of the posts (not all)

Just for fun. Reply if you spot one, as it will help fight the shadow ban on my a/c
Give yourself bonus points if you know the country and year the song won!

Hello again. It's Friday 12 May + Day 443 of the #UkraineRussiaWar

I'm back again. Another daily thread for all the news that matters in one place.

Two big developments y'day - #Ukraine's counter offensive prep + long range weapons arrive! Catch up here:
First a strange tale from the far east of #Russia where a private helicopter cut through power lines during a "hard landing"

The Mi-2's landing cut off power to the Transneft station in Primorsky Krai.
It's so remote it took 2 days to find the chopper & the pilot's disappeared! ImageImageImageImage
A big increase in #Russia's manpower losses in the last 24 hours. Still a lot of equipment being hit by #Ukraine too.

Wednesday 10 May
Day 441 of this terrible war.
At least #Ukraine has woken relatively peacefully today in contrast to most recent days.

All the news on #Russia's invasion, all day in one thread. If you want to buy me a coffee please see my bio for the link💙💛
So y'day was another violent & busy day as #Russia celebrated Victory Day but with zero victory to salute in its illegal invasion of #Ukraine

More deaths by fire, setbacks in #Bakhmut and #Wagner being labelled terrorists by more countries. Catch up here:
#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. Image

Welcome along to the daily thread for Day 440 of the war in #Ukraine

More deadly missile attacks launched in the early hours this morning by #Russia on what is supposed to be one of the sacred days in the calendar, 9 May.
#Russia has no victory to celebrate.

All the news here⬇️
It was another busy day yesterday, a lot of news from the battlefields of #Ukraine and beyond too.

For a catch up on anything you missed on Monday, click and scroll down from this link:

#StandWithUkraine
So during the night #Russia launched no fewer than 25 Cruise missiles - but #Ukraine's air defences managed to shoot down 23 of them.

In the first wave 8 Kalibrs were fired from Black Sea ships. Then at 4am 17 Kh-101/555s were fired by ships over the Caspian Sea. Image
