Footage of a Ukrainian Lyutyy kamikaze drone, hitting a Russian oil refinery. This is the attack on the Ryazan oil refinery on March 13.

Removed the post which showed first possible damage to the Ropucha-class ships, satelite comparison was apparently done on a ship that was hit earlier. Thanks @COUPSURE for clarification. Let's wait for better confirmation, of which I know people are working hard to determine 👌

US House will presumably be able to proceed to vote on aid to Ukraine after Easter. This will likely be a modified package favored by House Speaker Johnson, intended to make part of the aid, a loan.

"Johnson said his commitment is to put it on the floor after Easter. And we are working on this bill," Senator McCaul said.

Zelenskyi's evening speech

--

This week brought many results in relations with partners. The European Union has decided on a €5 billion assistance fund for Ukraine. This will significantly support our defense. There is also a new tranche of macro-finance from the European Union - 4.5 billion euros. The IMF - there is a decision on a new tranche, almost 900 million dollars. Canada - there are 2 billion Canadian dollars of macrofinance, direct budget support. There are also good results in terms of defense support packages - there are both received packages and new ones announced. These include artillery, drones, and armored vehicles. I have also just spoken with Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez. As for air defense for Ukraine, we need more systems. We also talked about our cooperation with Spain at the bilateral level and in European institutions. I am grateful to Spain for its unwavering support and our shared belief that life must win.

A big explosion occured in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. Unclear what happened yet.

Missile danger in Crimea declared. During the last hour, local channels also reported UAV activity.

Heavy footage from Orlivka, west of Avdiivka which is still being fought over heavily.

"Pay attention to the frantic dynamics of the fighting, and at the same time, the unit's work is so clear and well-coordinated. Thanks to the professional actions and character of our fighters, we managed to change the enemy's plans and inflict significant losses on the enemy," deputy commander of the 3rd Brigade, Maksym Zhorin adds.

One of the suspects of the Moscow City Hall shooting, sitting in the defendant's bench of the Basmanny District Court of Moscow during the selection of a preventive measure on charges of committing a terrorist act as part of a group of people. Judging from his face, a lot of violence has been exerted on him.

Two Project 775 Ropucha-class landing ships, reported as the Yamal and Konstantin Olshansky, can be seen on a satellite image of Sevastopol from today. One of them is towed to a dry dock but shows no signs of damage, near the other ship, damage is visible to the pier, not to the ship itself.

One lone tank from the 53rd Mechanized Brigade reportedly took out 3 Russian tanks near Tonen'ke, west of Avdiivka.

Also a second suspect appeared. He is the guy who had his ear cut off during interrogations and stuffed in his mouth, just after he was arrested.

Two Russian recon UAVs were destroyed during the day in the Mykolaiv region.
