Day 144 of #Russia's full scale invasion of its peaceful neighbour.

Updates throughout the day as stories unfold in #Ukraine and beyond.
First the British update shows #Russia concerned about #Ukraine's counter attack in the south
#Russia has still not taken total control of #Luhansk region despite the perception.

That's the point being made by #Ukraine's governor for the region. Serhiy Haidai says "two villages in Luhansk remain under 🇺🇦 control. Russians cannot overcome the few kilometres."

#StopRussia
Details have been given on the rocket attack on #Cherkasy.

Relatively few missiles have hit this central #Ukraine city, but yesterday evening, in the Chhyryn district of #Cherkassy Oblast, the govt says "an agricultural enterprise" was hit.

#StandWithUkraine️
Attack on #Zaporizhzhia. Several explosions reported in the city between 2-3pm.

Local officials say it was from Russian rocket launchers, but no reports of casualties and initial reports say no infrastructure was destroyed.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
In the new #USSR - sorry #Russia - ex President, Putin's poodle Dmitry Medvedev continues his campaign to replace his master.

The latest "strong words" from sleepy Dima came today when he claimed “NATO’s refusal to recognize Crimea as Russian could lead to a “direct attack”
Earlier another strike on #Chuhuiv in #Kharkiv region. (RU: ~Chuguev)

A deadly attack here the night before last but this time no major damage it seems.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
#Ukraine police in #Kharkiv have released pictures this afternoon of last night's shelling on the city.

The north-eastern city continues to receive heavy bombardment almost every day.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
#Ukraine claims a 19 year old conscript with the National Guard has shot down a 6th Russian jet.

The latest Su-25 was reportedly taken down with a MANPAD. 24 hours earlier the National Guard claim he's hit a cruise missile.

One of #Ukraine's well-connected media is reporting Russian-on-Russian shootout in #Zaporizhzhia region.

It's alleged ethnic Buryats and Chechens argued while drunk and there were wounded and dead after the fight in #Tokmak

#Zaporozhe #StopRussia

A few more shells peppering #Donetsk today.
This just to the south of the centre of the occupied city.

#StopRussiaNOW #StandWithUkraine
And recently in #Donetsk this has been posted online.

Seems like something hit the Budennovsky district of the city in #Donbas

#StopPutin #StopRussia #SaveUkraine
News of another British man being held captive in #Russia or its proxies.

John Harding was a combat medic with #Ukraine's National Guard, but Russian media is portraying him as a member of the Azov battalion, which they love to hate.

#StopRussia

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-621951…
Contract soldiers from the Republic of #Buryatia in #Russia have revealed how they were locked up in #Luhansk with just one meal a day after refusing to fight on the frontline.

zona.media/news/2022/07/1…
In its evening update, #Ukraine's General Staff claims it's again pushed back attempted surges by #Russia's forces in #Donetsk.

They say Russia was repulsed in #Sloviansk & #Bakhmut and that losses were inflicted on the enemy, but this cannot be verified

facebook.com/GeneralStaff.u…
If you steal a phone in a war zone, never a good idea to take selfies at a murder + war-crime scene.

But that's just what one of #Russia's horde did in #Ukraine. The 20yo deleted the photos but files were restored and the soldier's now been identified

slidstvo.info/news/znajshly-…
The "Day of Metalworkers" was celebrated in #Mariupol today.
The occupying Russians put on free concerts with impressive crowds (not known if Russians were bused in from #Crimea)
The last photo shows an orchestra playing in front of the Palace of Metalworkers, destroyed by Russia
Sometimes I think #Russia can't really be this stupid, then I see something else which reminds me they can be!

#StopRussiaNOW

 More controversy in #Ukraine politics this evening with the dismissal of two more high profile figures by President @ZelenskyyUa

The big surprise is the sacking of @VenediktovaIV as Prosecutor General. She's replaced by her Deputy, Oleksiy Symonenko. No reason was given.
2/2
 ... More predictable is the sacking of Ivan Bakanov as Head of #Ukraine's Security Service.

It was rumoured Zelenskyy was unhappy with a reported series of failed operations and poor results in #Kherson

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
As I mentioned yesterday - spare a though today for the victims, and families of victims, of the #MH17 massacre.

On 17 July 2014 the Malaysian Airlines passenger jet was shot down by #Russia over the occupied part of #Ukraine.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Reasons have now been given by #Ukraine's President on why he's sacked the Prosecutor General @VenediktovaIV.

Translation⬇️
Many questions arise:
Are all these since 24 Feb?
Venediktova was in office 23 months before the war - enough time to root out & sack the 60 traitors?
Heartening scenes in #Mykolaiv today when the people of #Odesa brought 7 tonnes of humanitarian aid to their fellow Ukrainians

600 #Nikolaev residents each received packages of food/water/medicines

As aid was handed out, a small open-air concert was held.

Head of #Odesa region, Serhiy Bratchuk, reports more strikes on Russian bases with HIMARS

He claims hits were successful on Lazurne in #Kherson oblast and #Alchevsk & #Kadiivka (RU: #Stakhanov) in #Luhansk region

Video from Alchevsk on Luhansktoday TG channel

#StandWithUkraine
Force diplomacy?
So if🇷🇺occupies Wales and all of SW England, we should stop fighting & say ok, give back English counties and you keep Wales?
You clearly do not learn from history.
Do you realise you are shilling for Putin?
To save lives, force Russia out
What's the time? Could it be #Chornobaivka time again? (see next Tweet)

#Chernobaevka #Чернобаевка #ХерсонцеУкраїна
Something is burning in #Chornobaivka, in #Kherson region. A lot of air defence activity by the look of it.

#StandWithUkraine
#Chernobaevka #Чернобаевка #ХерсонцеУкраїна
Head of #Kursk region in #Russia reports clashes on the border with #Sumy

"Our military began to carry out a 'special military operation' combat mission on the border in Glushkovsky district"

Meanwhile a sawmill mysteriously caught fire in Kursk - Russians say it's unconnected!
Disappointing new for #Chornobaivka fans!

Local chat sites say it looks like a rocket was shot down by air defence. Fragments have set fire to a field in the area.

Unconfirmed reports of more HIMARS strikes on #Kadiivka (RU: Stakhanov) again tonight.

Supposedly someone in the #Luhansk so called government has confirmed 2 missiles have landed in the town.

Russia will not stop until it's stopped.
The war ends the moment Russia leaves.
Russia lies repeatedly (we won't invade Ukraine, we didn't kill Litvinenko, didn't kill 300 on MH17, didn't use Novichok in the UK etc etc)

We MUST NOT trust Putin.

Day 1345. Here's my daily thread
It's proved a very difficult morning for Ukraine, especially in the west. Russia tried to ensure misery and destruction, hits everyone across Ukraine.

At dawn missiles rained down, the start of the overnight attack was covered at the end of yesterday's🧵
There has been another big attack on Ukraine's energy sector with DTEK saying thermal power plants in various regions were hit.

They say it's the 3rd massive attack on the company's TPPs in October.

Various missiles and drones were fired by Russia. Image

It's Day 1336 of Russia's full invasion, but that only started because the world didn't provide a deterrent almost 12 years ago when Putin first tested the west's response by invading Crimea

The west failed the test. Are we about to fail the biggest exam too?
It's Tim's daily🧵
There was a big drone attack on western Russia last night, with Rostov in particular feeling the heat

There was also plenty of heat again on Russia's largest gas facility, the Georgian 'government' doing Russia's fascist work, and an a tragedy in Kherson
Ukraine was subjected to 6 missiles and almost 100 attack drones overnight.

None of the 2 ballistics, or 4 S-300 missiles was shot down

Of 98 UAVs launched, 3 were still flying.
Of the remaining 95, just 58 were stopped = 61%

Russia's 37 drones and 6 missiles hit 10 locations Image

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😳🫣

Two major hits by Ukraine this morning, way, way back, deep into Russia.

Those with me a few minutes ago will already know some of the details but we have a few more sights to show you, starting in Orenburg.

Here, locals say a gas plant has been hit by drones. Image

Hello on Thursday morning, 16 October 2025.

Russia is now going all out to make life unliveable for Ukraine's citizens, destroying all energy and heat infrastructure it can.

While Ukraine hits energy targets too, it's almost all to hit Russia's exports/finances.

Here's the🧵
Day 1331 is well underway: I hope we can penetrate the algorithm and get people to actually see today's🧵

Yesterday, views for the 1st page is at 16k, about half what it should be. Please quote tweet or repost various posts during the day

Catch up here:
Last night I wrote of a possible hit on another refinery.

In the last couple of minutes, Ukraine has confirmed the strike in Saratov, which they say directly supports Russia's army.

It's refining capacity is almost 5m tons.

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...

I'll start with the numbers as Ukraine launched more than twice as many drones as Russia overnight according to official defence figures.

Moscow says it downed 251 UAVs, while Kyiv reports 116 long range drones fired by Russia, of which 83 were stopped (72% success)> Image

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!

Yesterday I showed the remarkable downing of a Russian military helicopter by an FPV drone - the price disparity is also incredible.

That hit is included in today's table of Russia's losses during the war, but elsewhere numbers are a little lower. Image
