THREE RUSSIAN OIL REFINERIES ARE BURNING AS FEW HAVE BEFORE
The Tuapse plant near the Black Sea has been set on fire after multiple drone strikes. The scene looked hellish last night. The skies were black above as vast swathes of flames burnt their way across what seemed to be the entire horizon.
Today, two Tu-22M3 from Soltsy Air Base, escorted by two Su-35S, conducted a 4-hour training flight over the Baltic Sea and approached Danish airspace.
In the area of the island of Bornholm, the group was intercepted by a scrambled pair of Royal Danish Air Force F-35A from Skrydstrup Air Base.

This is my daily thread on developments in Ukraine and its defence against the Russian invasion.
Day 1516 of Putin's attempt to eradicate Ukrainian culture & anyone not willing to bow to its demands.
I've written about Ukraine for 25 years, but only sonsecutively for 1,516 days!
Day 1515 - I am back again for another Ukraine thread..
I fact check and publish all the important news about the country and Russia's horde of war criminals, using my own contacts and experience and local media.

❗️🇺🇦 "Okhmatdyt" and Groza: Zelensky signed sanctions against those responsible for missile terror.
The sanctions list includes 121 occupiers. These are commanders of long-range aviation units, the Navy, and missile and artillery units of the Russian Land Forces.

❗️WP: Putin feels cornered this spring.He may decide that his “window of opportunity” will soon close — before Europe is fully rearmed, Ukraine will receive new long-range weapons, and Trump will further weaken transatlantic unity.
Not really. He's got away easy, just got disbarred. Accountability would mean he goes to prison.
🇷🇴 During the night attack, a Russian drone flew 16 km into Romanian airspace, - MoD
Radar contact with the drone was lost, meaning it probably crashed.
Romanian military personnel have already launched a search operation.

So it begins. Trump announced that weapons that’s bought by European countries is delayed because of the Iranian war. He’s diverting what Ukraine needs to survive to fight his stupid war. I’m sure he’s so happy he gets to aid his good friend, Putin.
It turns out that one of Russia's most rabid propagandists actually had a secret US passort all along and has now fled Russia.
Russians called for a ceasefire. Ukraine tested this opportunity by dressing three POW in Ukrainian uniforms and ordering them to withdraw to a location further in the rear for processing. Russia, thinking they were Ukrainians, killed the three and bragged about it on social media.
Fidesz' massive defeat comes despite:
- multiple active Russian disinformation campaigns
- the US government actively supporting Fidesz
- Fidesz owning the majority of TV & radio stations + newspapers
- Fidesz having gerrymandered the crap out of the country

Deport this piece of shit from the EU already!
A new Ukraine thread at the start of a new week, and the week starts full of optimism - after all, whenever Putin is angry, the world's a slightly better place.
It's Day 1510 of Russia's attempt to annihilate Ukraine.
Let's see what's happening today...
Another defense agreement secured with a major European ally–just hours after agreements were signed with Germany.
President Zelensky in Norway, where deepening defense cooperation was on the agenda.
Overnight update from Russia✌🏻:

Ukraine thread Day 1513
BSky continues to be really, really annoying this morning.
Slightly better now, but I don't have time to upload everything I've posted already as I have to go do some tennis commentary.
So I've used a thread app to show my Xitter posts:
