2/ #Putin loves symbolism and to leave calling cards.
It's no coincidence that he ordered the murderous strikes on an apartment block and two leisure complexes in #Odesa region with exactly the same delivery as #Kremenchuk - three X-22 missiles fired from Tu-22 strategic bombers.
3/ Now an 18th person has died in the cowardly attack by #Russia on the #Odesa region. Three children are among the dead, another is in a coma.
The main hits were in Belgorod-Dniester region of #Odessa. One missile destroyed a 9-storey residential building.
The information about the oil refinery in #Lysychansk does seem to be a little outdated.
One more small boat was added to #Russia's list of war losses.
A small craft was lost during the last #Ukraine attack on Snake Island and the ensuing evacuation by the Kremlin's forces, along with a Ka-52 helicopter which I wrote about last night.
There were also rocket attacks in #Mykolaiv region overnight.
#Ukraine's authorities there claim #Russia used outlawed cluster munitions again yesterday, while fresh grads already arrived this morning.
This is a video of the scene of one strike on a business in #Nikolaev
Today, the #EU flag has symbolically been installed in #Ukraine's Parliament.
The President of the European Commission @vonderleyen spoke via video link to The Rada. President @ZelenskyyUa pledged to fulfill all requirements to allow🇺🇦 to move from candidate to full 🇪🇺 member
Haunting
This poster recalls being sent to summer kids' camps at #Serhiivka, in #Odesa region, where many died today.
"Instead of children's laughter and fun, just death and ruin... #Russia will take everything if you don't stop them."
There is no hope now of ever knowing the real extent of the campaign of murder by #Russia's army in the southern port city. Crimes, like bodies, are hidden, burned.
#Russia's Foreign Ministry has just said "NATO starts an arms race"
It's unbelievable - having bragged about its new "Sarmat" nuclear capable missile which was tested in April, plus the Zircon from Submarine and the previous triumphant broadcasts of its new hypersonic weapons.
Often trolls write to me about Russia just supporting Donetsk's right to be free
Obviously it's baloney, Russia fomented trouble, while Putin brutally put down Chechnya's Independence bid.
Now no support for Karakalpakstan, huge demos, as it hopes to cede from 🇷🇺ally #Uzbekistan
US Ice Hockey team @NHLFlyers has lost its goal-tender.
Ivan Fedotov was trying to leave #Russia to start his new NHL contract in #Philadelphia when he was detained. Fedotov is suspected of evading the army and has been taken to the military registration and enlistment office.
* WARNING * Graphic video *
I cannot verify this, but it's said to show young victims of the #Odesa bombing.
In the early hours this morning #Russia attacked a resort in #Odessa, killing 20 and injuring many others.
A fire in the mayor's building at #Krasnoyarsk
All employees evacuated the building. Authorities say the blaze broke out in a technical room on the 6th floor.
Although this looks interesting, it doesn't look like obvious sabotage.
An explosive start to Day 1334 of Russia's 10-day operation to erase Ukraine from the map.
Not quite #EATP for Putin.
An early start to Sunday's thread as we have news from central and eastern Russia.
All the news, all the time, every damn day. Here we go again!
So much happened yesterday and the fireworks really started in the last couple of hours.
Do yourself a favour and have a quick skim through what you missed from Saturday's news about Ukraine's battle for survival. Incredibly only 14,000 views😳🫣
Every Single Day.
Ukraine's brave men and women on (or supporting) the frontline cannot switch off, so neither shall I in documenting the major events of Russia's horrific war.
As we begin a new week, it's the 1,321st Daily Thread - never missed one yet. So let's dive-in..
Well it's been lively overnight in Russia, with many reports of Ukraine's drones causing problems.
You can see photos and video from those reports at the end of yesterday's thread, which began with more daytime strikes by Moscow's war criminals...
Tuesday 30 September 2025 - it's Day 1315 of Russia's full invasion. That's 3 years, 7 months and one week of Ukraine trying to defend itself against an infinitely bigger army.
But Ukrainians have a just cause and the sum is much bigger than the parts.
Here's the daily thread:
A shorter thread yesterday, with not a lot of ground-breaking news. But still more than 30 posts, you may like to catch up on, such as Russia's moaning about its election interference in Moldova coming to nothing!
Hello again everybody. Are we ready for Day 1311 of Ukraine's defence against the all-out invasion by a Kremlin horde? I know I am, so let's go.
Documenting all the important news, and Russian war crimes, every single day - still never missed one - this is THE daily thread:
You can almost smell the weekend approaching, but first let's look back at Thursday.
Another wide variety of stories, and what a contrast. Almost record numbers of likes on BSky yet way below par number of views here on X.
Review what you missed here:
Good morning on Day 1310 of the full-scale war in Ukraine. But let's not forget Russia first invaded 11.5 years ago and the free world was too timid to defend a democracy from a tyrant, which led us to this position now after far too many wasted lives (and $)
Here's my daily🧵
Wednesday was another busy-busy day.
Too much to detail, just make sure you are up to date, but clicking and scrolling here, but remember to come back.
Russia has managed to attack railway infrastructure and some power targets overnight.
The latest is in Kirovohrad region, where 3 villages are without power after drone strikes. The city of Oleksandriya in the east of the region was heavily attacked.
There were no casualties.
