Huge russian attacks on Ukraine using 40+ missiles & over 650 drones against civilian targets in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Odesa; many killed & wounded. Pathetic @BBCNews give a one sentence report on radio, & 15th item on web. @BBC you are now inconsequential in today's news arena

Direct hit on a residential building. Shahedn didn't detonate - a miracle that saved lives today 🙏🙏 #ruZZia is a terrorist state, and there’s no other way to describe them 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 #Odesa

‼️Moment a Russian drone strikes a residential building in Kyiv’s Podil district early in the morning, while people were still asleep. Russia continues its crimes. Sanctions must not be lifted. Russia must not be rewarded - not while it continues to kill Ukrainians in their homes.

🔴 BREAKING: Russian strikes hit the Dnipro region, killing three people and injuring 34, according to the State Emergency Service. In Dnipro, overnight missile and drone attacks sparked fires across residential areas, damaging homes.

🕯️Updated numbers from Odesa is now that 8 people have been killed & 16 are injured after the russian terrorists hit a multi-story residential building in the city. Significant damage was recorded, and several apartments of the building were completely destroyed. In addition to the residential buildings, a port infrastructure facility, and warehouse premises were damaged. The blast wave also shattered the windows in three 5-story dormitories. #russiaisaterroriststate

Absolutely horrific night in Ukraine last night - 44 ballistic missiles and 659 drones fired from Russia. Deaths in Kyiv, Odessa and Dnipro. Not even bothering to hide the fact that it is residential areas under attack. Barely on the news outside Ukraine. And @JDVance says he is proud that USA has pulled its support so the aggressor can keep aggressing. Disgusting. But Europe has to do even more now

Day 1513 of the war …Stubbornness, stupidity, or an iron will. It can be interpreted in many ways, depending on whose side you are on and what your views are. On one hand, there is the fact that my country continues to defend itself and fight back with dignity; on the other, there is the ongoing failure of putin and the russians to realize that they are incapable of achieving their goals in Ukraine. This confrontation has dragged on, and no one expected this war to last so long. There is no doubt that if russia hadn’t underestimated us, this war would never have happened, and many people would still be alive. The number of missiles and drones in Ukraine’s skies grows every year. What was once considered unthinkable, the sheer scale of missiles and UAVs launched at our cities now sometimes exceeds 1000 units in a single 24-hour period. Our military has gained immense experience in defending our skies, and given these figures, the consequences could have been far worse. But there are still casualties, and there are many of them... Even one Ukrainian casualty is one too many. For someone, that one Ukrainian is the entire world: a father or mother, a brother, a sister, or a friend. We are capable of rebuilding a structure and patching up the traces of russian war crimes, but returning a soul to a mangled body is something else entirely. It was yet another heavy night that many did not survive in their homes and apartments.

Kyiv. According to Mayor Vitali Klitschko, four medics who had gone to assist those injured in the shelling have been wounded. The mayor also reported that a 12-year-old child has been killed #Ukraine

Very, very loud in Kyiv right now. The city is being targeted by multiple Russian ballistic missiles and air defence is attempting to shoot them down.

🚨 BREAKING: Multiple explosions reported in Kyiv and Dnipro as Russia launches a massive wave of missile and drone strikes across Ukraine.

russia is ethnically cleansing Ukraine and people want to return to russian energy and bring them back into sport. Absolutely shameful.

⚡️'A new model of warfare' — Ukraine's Defense Ministry announces drone assault units. Ukraine has introduced drone assault units that combine aerial and ground drones, the Defense Ministry announced on April 15. kyivindependent.com/a-new-model-of…

The State Duma has approved in the first reading a bill expanding the powers of the President of russia to deploy troops abroad to “protect the rights of russian citizens.” According to the government proposal, Vladimir Putin would be able to use the military in response 🧵

I have arrived at the Sándor Palace to meet the President of Hungary. @DrTamasSulyok is unworthy of representing the unity of the Hungarian nation. He is unfit to serve as the guardian of legality. He is not fit to serve as a moral authority or a role model. Following the formation of the new government, Tamás Sulyok must leave office immediately.

Russian forces dropped a 1.5-ton FAB-1500 glide bomb on central Slovyansk around 5 a.m., completely destroying a children’s sports facility and damaging 39 apartment buildings, two administrative buildings, and 15 cars, the local authorities reported. hromadske.ua/en/ukraine/262…
