22:42 Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration
One of the ways to restore the occupiers’ manpower is to forcibly mobilise men in the occupied territories of the region. For example, the Russians are completely blocking the exit from Melitopol to conduct a so-called “conscription campaign”.
The occupiers continue to hang their flags on the administrative buildings of the temporarily occupied territories. It happened today in Vasylivka. At the city council building, the Russians replaced the Ukrainian flag with a tricolour, and are urging Ukrainian officials to cooperate. In addition, residents claim that the occupiers appointed their “mayor” – Natalia Romanichenko.
A new collaborator was also found in the temporarily occupied Mykhailivka of Vasylivka district. Ivan Sushko became acting head of the occupation administration of the town.
In addition, according to locals, the invaders went from house to house, looking for weapons and members of Anti-Terrorist Operation/Joint Forces Operation, confiscating valuables and building materials, stealing cars, and using them for personal gain. The Russians are shooting a staged video in which residents of Mykhailivka allegedly surrender their weapons voluntarily as an act of demilitarisation. The occupiers are collecting information about every resident of Mykhailivka. People are intimidated because those who show the pro-Ukrainian position are kidnapped and taken away in an unknown direction.
In the temporarily occupied Enerhodar, employees of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation are carrying out filtration measures.
The Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine has opened a criminal case on the fact of the shelling of the village of Kamianske, which killed three men working in the backyard. The pre-trial investigation is being carried out by investigators from the Security Service of Ukraine in Zaporizhzhia region.

The enemy can plan provocative explosions on the dam of the Karlivskyi Reservoir.
Several pro-Russian Telegram channels covering the Russian war against Ukraine reported that “in the town of Karlivka (occupied Donetsk region) nationalist battalions mined the dam of the Karlivka Reservoir.”
At the same time, referring to the Russian Defence Ministry, the propagandists report that “in the event of an explosion of the dam in the flood zone there will be 6 settlements with a total population of over 10 thousand people.”
Such information intrusions may be an informational and psychological operation of the occupiers, but given the nature of the enemy’s war against Ukraine, the possibility of implementing such a plan cannot be completely ruled out.

Centre for Countering Disinformation collected fakes, manipulation, and disinformation that the enemy spread on April 25, 2022:
- Manipulation: despite Iryna Vereshchuk’s statement that there were no agreements on humanitarian corridors with Azovstal, the Russian Defence Ministry said that “Kyiv authorities disrupted a humanitarian operation” on civilians hiding in the plant;
- Fake: despite previous reports that Russian security forces were collecting wreckage of downed Ukrainian drones to prepare for provocations, several Russian Telegram channels reported that the Bayraktar strike drone, which is in service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, was shot down in the Kursk region;
- Manipulation: Russian propagandists reported that the Russian village of Nekhoteevka in the Belgorod region was “fired upon by Ukraine.” According to the Russian media, “residential buildings and personal vehicles were damaged.”

Newsmaker reports that the Transnistrian Interior Ministry has confirmed information about the explosions. It is reported that around 5 pm several explosions took place in the building of the Ministry of State Security.

18:33 Radio Liberty with reference to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
From 4 a.m. on 24 February 2022, when the Russian Federation’s armed attack against Ukraine started, to midnight on 24 April 2022 (local time), the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) recorded 5,718 civilian casualties in the country: 2,665 killed and 3,053 injured.
OHCHR believes that the actual figures are considerably higher, as the receipt of information from some locations where intense hostilities have been going on has been delayed and many reports are still pending corroboration. This concerns, for example, Mariupol (Donetsk region), Izium (Kharkiv region), and Popasna (Luhansk region), where there are allegations of numerous civilian casualties. These figures are being further corroborated and are not included in the above statistics.

After the liberation of cities in the Kyiv region, new atrocities of Russian troops are revealed.
Forensic experts found sharpened steel darts in the bodies of residents of Bucha and Irpin.
With them, the occupiers launched shells, which bombed residential buildings in the city and its surroundings.
In Bucha, liberated from the Russian occupiers, locals found hundreds of these small darts in their private estates. Shells exploded over apartment buildings, and thousands of darts flew several metres around.
Warheads filled with shrapnel exploded over the city as Russian troops prepared to leave the area.
Such darts were used during the First World War against infantry. Due to the indiscriminate nature of the action and the uncontrollability of weapons, the use of such weapons in densely populated cities is a violation of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and a crime against humanity.

Russian occupiers cynically shoot schoolchildren and the elderly.
Moreover, the artillery shelling of children who go to school with backpacks is called a manifestation of “courage.” At first, children are allowed to walk calmly but immediately plan to fire when they return.

This 500 kV substation in peacetime gave power to most of the cities and villages of the region. Also, electricity used to come from Luhanska TPP in the town of Shchastia. Transformer units of the latter were destroyed by the enemy, and the Russians are unable to repair them. So, to this day, the substation in Kreminna has remained the only source of electricity supply to the houses of Luhansk residents,” Haidai said.

Disinformation theses of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation on the situation in Ukraine over the past day.
Russia is predicting a “quick victory” over the Azov Battalion in Mariupol for the fourth time.
“Ukrainian nationalists on the territory of the Azovstal plant for various reasons did not have long”, – the propaganda media write.
According to the analysis,
- On April 19, Kadyrov had already triumphantly declared that “the Bandera people in Mariupol will be” finished “today”;
- Kadyrov’s April 21 forecast was that Azovstal would be completely under the control of the Russian military today “before or after lunch”;
- After this prediction of Kadyrov did not come true, in the evening Sergei Shoigu gave a new forecast, specifying that “it takes 3-4 days to complete the operation in Azovstal.”
It will be recalled that Putin officially ordered not to storm Azovstal, but, in fact, the fighting on the territory of the plant has not stopped for 2 months.

- Manipulation: propaganda media in Russia began to spread the thesis that “the United States does not impose sanctions on Alina Kabayeva for fear that Vladimir Putin will react aggressively; this means only one thing – the Americans are afraid of the wrath of the Russian leader”;
- Disinformation: according to the statement of the commander of the illegal armed group “Pyatnashka” (in the occupied territory of the Donetsk region), “the Ukrainian military has problems with ammunition.” At the same time, it was reported that the defenders of Ukraine lost most of the equipment transferred by the West;
- Manipulation: “After the start of the war in Ukraine, the West failed to turn most of the world against Russia, and the countries that represent the majority of humanity have not taken any position in this conflict,” – said the Russian propaganda media.

The European Union may include restrictions on Russian oil imports in its sixth package of sanctions against Russia.
“One of the issues we are considering is some form of an oil embargo. When we are imposing sanctions, we need to do so in a way that maximises pressure on Russia while minimising collateral damage on ourselves,” Dombrovskis said.
He added that the details of the sanctions have not yet been agreed upon but may include the phasing out of Russian oil or the introduction of export tariffs over a certain price limit.
