🇺🇦Happy 31st birthday #Ukraine🇺🇦
It's Independence Day, but it also marks exactly 6 months since #Russia's jets, tanks + troops invaded the country (8 years after the start of the war)

This is daily thread number 182. All the news all the time

Y'day⬇️
Firstly, Hero of #Ukraine, Boris Johnson made sure famous 10 Downing Street was decked in the colours of Ukraine.

The British PM has just 10 days left in Office.

#SlavaUkraini #UkraineIndependenceDay

📷@AP
Not directly related to the war (unless sabotage) but a breaking story in #Russia

Three ships have been ripped from anchor in a storm at Baidukov Island in the #Amur Estuary - that's the very far east of Russia near #Sakhalin

54 were on board and a rescue operation is underway.
The start of the night was noisy and scary in many areas of #Ukraine.

Governor of #Kharkiv confirms the Novobavarsky district was the latest to be hit in the third round of missile attacks in the city so far.

No new details - this was an earlier strike:

In #Dnipropetrovsk a new attack in the last few minutes.

Flames visible at the scene. Further information cannot be given under the terms of martial law.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Some are reporting explosions in #Odesa. From what I'm hearing, #Ukraine's air defence likely shot down a drone. No rockets arrived.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
Also on the Southern Defensive line, #Ukraine's military says it hit another #Russia ammo dump in #Novovoskresensk

They also claim they eliminated 13 Russian troops and destroyed a Howitzer and army vehicles, during helicopter strikes in Novovoznesensk, #Arkhangelsk + #Pravdyno
It's being reported that the goons who invaded #Ukraine from #Belarus, taking over #Chernobyl, may already have died of radiation.

President @ZelenskyyUa said nothing is known for sure, but they had information those soldiers were no longer alive.

24tv.ua/okupatsiya-cho…
Ukrainians are very excited that @Google has recognised #UkraineIndependenceDay with a special doodle.

However I cannot see it in the UK.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A withering attack on #Russia today in the #UK's daily Intel report.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
9 people have been injured in the latest shelling of #Mykolaiv oblast.

In total there were 3 attacks. Firstly shelling of the Bashtansky & Bereznegovat communities damaged buildings.

Then the casualties, inc 2 children, happened in Novyi Buh when rockets hit private houses.
#Ukraine's Resistance has killed the Head collaborator of the Occupied part of #Zaporizhzhia/#Zaporozhe region.

A car bomb exploded in the village of #Mykhailivka, killing Ivan Sushko.

#Russia's state news agency TASS just confirmed the news.

#StopRussiaNOW
Virtually the last prominent Putin critic in #Russia is arrested.

Popular ex-Mayor of #Yekaterinburg Mayor Yevgeny Roizman detained for “discrediting the Army"

@roizmangbn told reporters it's "basically for one phrase, 'the invasion of Ukraine'. I say it everywhere, say it now"
Important to get across the point that #Ukraine and its people are so resilient. #Kyiv is recovering, eventually so will the whole country

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

In #Poltava region Russia has bombed military targets.

It happened in #Myrhorod, with regional head Dmytro Lunin confirming 4 X-22 (air to surface) missiles had hit infrastructure, but no civilian casualties are reported.

#StopRussianAggression #StandWithUkraine
Love this!
#SlavaUkraini

One of last night's mysteries is solved.
In #Kharkiv some even thought a plane had been shot down, but what happened is an Iskander cruise missile malfunctioned, exploding before impact.

Fragments of the rocket were found in the roof of a house in the centre

#StopRussia
Major incident in occupied #Donetsk...

The "Galaktika" shopping centre has been ablaze for a couple of hours and fire is still raging. It's thought a missile strike was to blame, but not confirmed.

#Ukraine has no history of, or need to, attacking shopping centres.
You've probably already seen, but Boris has turned up again in #Kyiv.

The British PM now has a plaque in his honour by #Ukraine's Parliament and went for another walkabout with President @ZelenskyyUa

The @washingtonpost reports that The Kremlin called Zelenskyy on the first day of the war to offer #Ukraine the chance to surrender.

Two days later #Belarus' Defence Minister called his counterpart in #Ukraine to again try to negotiate a surrender.

pravda.com.ua/news/2022/08/2…
A road in #NewYork has been renamed "Ukrainian Way" to show solidarity with the nation.

#Ukraine's ambassador to the US, Oksana Markarova reported on her Facebook page. The road is in the Brighton Beach area, which is known by many as "Little Odessa"

#StandWithUkraine
The mid-western city of #Khmelnytskyi has been hit with rockets. Around 300km west of Kyiv, Khmelnytskyi has seldom been targeted before.

4 missiles were launched from #Belarus just before 5.30pm, probably from Russian jets

No word on casualties yet
#RussiaIsATerroristState
In #Vinnytsia, air defence has shot down a Russian drone.

Air defence also working in #Kharkiv and may have done the same.

#SlavaUkraini #StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
An 11-year-old child has been killed by #Russia in #Dnipropetrovsk.

Rockets hit the town of #Synelnykove (RU: #Sinelnikovsky), about 40km south-east of #Dnipro city.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
Almost all of #Ukraine is under air raid warning right now. Mainly due to Russian jets patrolling border areas and occupied territories.

Confirmed in #Kharkiv two incoming missiles have been hit by air defence, but in the region, something has been on fire in #Chuhuiv for hours
Someone's had some fun doing this.
#UkraineIndependenceDay - in miniature!

#SlavaUkraini

A big fire in #Siedove in #Donetsk oblast.
This is a coastal village just 5km from the Russian border.

I doubt #Ukraine's army can reach this far from the frontline, so the cause of the blaze remains unknown for now.

#StopRussia
There's to be a football league of Occupied States according to a new announcement by #Russia.
Sadly they've chosen the farcical name of "Commonwealth Football League"

Teams from #Luhansk #Donetsk #Abkhazia #SouthOssetia, #Kherson #Zaporizhzhia #Kharkiv + #Crimea will take part.
Quite a few rockets launched towards #Donetsk today.

This was the result of missiles hitting the Petrivskyi district of the occupied city.

#StandWithUkraine
The Vatican has announced The Pope will NOT meet the head of the Russian Orthodox Church when they both attend a gathering of religious leaders in Kazakhstan next month.

The Kremlin says preparations were "unilaterally suspended" by The Vatican.
Earlier I reported on the major strike on a shopping centre in #Donetsk.

I still think it's unlikely #Ukraine did this. There's been little outrage from the occupiers to be honest.

This is how the Galatika centre looked this afternoon:
Looks as if #Ukraine's army did hit something in #NovaKakhovka though...

This in occupied #Kherson region.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
On #UkraineIndependenceDay
the deadliest attack on the country for 3 months.

#Russia has hit a train in #Chaplyne in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

President Zelenskyy announced at least 15 dead and 50 injured.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
The death toll in the #Dnipropetrovsk train massacre rises to 22

Social media in Russia (and #Ukraine) is abuzz about why #Putin's cavalcade has made a late night dash to the Kremlin.

What can the matter be?

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
The fire I reported on earlier in #Donetsk region, near the border with #Russia, is spreading.

This is the scene in #Novoazovsk this evening.
There were reports of explosions of #Pavlohrad in #Dnipropetrovsk oblast.

However pretty sure it was just patriotic Ukrainians celebrating #UkraineIndependenceDay

Hello again, on Day 1346 of the war.
Russia's genocidal war, that's both the intent and the reality as Ukraine fights to keep not only democracy, independence and freedom but also to avoid its culture and language being eradicated.

This is THE daily thread. Happy Hallowe'en
Due to various different events, I am still awake & instead of adding to y'day's thread, I thought it best to start a new one, then get some sleep.

First, the link for Thursday's🧵which started with Russia's mass missile attack but ended with🇺🇦 attacking
A quick reminder the first serious blow struck by Ukraine's long range weapons, came in Oryol.

A power plant was struck, though Russia told its people it was only drone debris (again)

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
