It's Thursday, it's Day 183 of #Russia's 3-4 day plan to capture #Kyiv, and the timetable to control all of #Ukraine is 173 days behind schedule!

Quite a lot of news late y'day, read on for today's developments, or click here to scroll through y'day's 🧵
The situation at the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in #Enerhodar remains tense.

#Russia even tried to block President Zelenskyy from speaking via video link at the #UN

Here's the UK Intel briefing for Thursday

#StopRussia
#Japan has been vocal in its' criticism of #Russia but today decided to continue investment in the "Sakhalin-2" project.

Tokyo says it's for energy security as Mitsubishi + Mitsui seek to remain in Russia's key LNG export plan in the far East.

Moscow may yet reject the offer.
Two missiles hit #Kyiv region overnight.

Regional head Oleksiy Kuleba confirmed the attack on #Vyshhorod district, but no civilians were hurt.

Residents report air defences were working loudly.

#Ukraine #StopRussiaNOW
The death toll in the train and station attack has risen to 25.

31 other civilians were injured when Russian missiles smashed into #Chaplyne about 100km south-east of #Dnipro.

Two children, aged 6 and 11, are among the dead
#RussiaIsATerroristState

Some are reporting that #Ukraine has again hit the Antonivskyi Bridge in #Kherson, quoting Serhiy Bratchuk of #Odesa's administration

I actually think he's made more a warning "work will continue" on this bridge, while confirming new hits on the #Kakhovka bridge, presumably here
It looks like #Russia may have used generally outlawed cluster ammunition on #KryvyiRih in #Dnipropetrovsk overnight.

Photos this morning shows the remains of an attack likely from the Tornado-S MLRS. However neither Russia nor #Ukraine signed the treaty banning their use.
In Putin's #Russia, millions struggle under sanctions while billions are spent on the war. But some are doing ok.

Take the 2nd in command at the Min of Defence, Shoigu's mate and Deputy, Ruslan Tsalikov.
His kids have spent £85m on real estate this year.

theins.ru/news/254387
#Mariupol' is temporarily occupied by #Russia.
But Resistance is still strong.
Overnight some patriots managed to raise the #Ukraine flag in the city.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
It's now known three people were injured yesterday when missiles smashed in to #Khmelnytskyi.

A woman and two children were struck by flying glass after the explosions in the Shepetiv district.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

#Russia has accumulated over 400 jets and 360 combat helicopters at #Ukraine's borders.

#Ukraine needs more air defence, although the invaders can fire missiles while in Belarusian or Russian air-space.

pravda.com.ua/news/2022/08/2…
#Russia has admitted the attack on the train and railway station at #Chaplyne in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

The Kremlin says “a direct hit by an Iskander missile on a military echelon at Chaplino (killed) more than 200 #Ukraine servicemen and 10 units of military equipment"
Reports of heavy fog and smoke in occupied #Mariupol' on #Ukraine's south coast.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Smoke seen over the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in #Enerhodar.

Locals report there is no electricity in many parts of #Kherson #Berdyansk #Melitopol #Energodar and villages.
Water and mobile phone signals also turned off in some areas.
#Ukraine's South Command has destroyed Russia's ammunition base in #NovaKakhovka, as well as command posts of tactical groups of artillery in Kakhovsky & Beryslavsky area.

They also state "the condition of the Antonivskyi bridge has once again been corrected" but no proof so far
More attacks by #Ukraine patriots in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.

Yesterday a collaborator was murdered in a car bomb. Today the Occupiers' HQ in the village of #Priazovsky (near #Melitopol) was hit by an explosion.
No proof of the claims.
This building was used to hand out 🇷🇺passports
So an update on the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.

Power has now been restored to most regions, radiation levels are normal.

For the first time in its history the plant was taken "off line" - possibly due to nearby fires causing problems with power lines.

These photos appeared, said to show an Occupiers' manual, how to deal with awkward questions (unverified)

e.g.
Q: I don't want to live in Russia
A: You're just afraid (report them to police)

Q: Why does Russian army loot?
A: Russian army is not looting, unlike Ukraine
#RussiaOnFire

This one possibly a grudge/mafia?

The famous Equestrian complex "Levadia" near #Moscow is well ablaze.

It's in the village of Orlovo - reported that they evacuated 15 horses.
Maybe #Putin's late night dash to the Kremlin was after learning about the lack of soldiers on the frontline?

How else to explain the surprise decision to hurriedly sign a decree today, increasing military personnel by 137,000?

Full-time military members will now be 2,039,758
We now have a video of the building allegedly attacked by #Ukraine's Resistance near #Melitopol

One citizen has died in as rockets landed in #Chuhuiv (RU: Chuguev) this afternoon.

pro-#Russia channels report they hit weapons stored by #Ukraine.

#Kharkiv #StopRussia
#Russia claims this photo from #Chaplyne railway station proves its attack was justified.

25 people, including two children, died when the invaders fired cruise missiles on the town in #Dnipropetrovsk

Russia claims military vehicles can clearly be seen, on their way to Donetsk
In #Donetsk this fire is supposedly in a private house.

A lot of black smoke and loud "pops" though...

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Interesting that another prominent Russian politician has said #Russia is ready to talk with #Ukraine.

Not so long since Russia was not going to talk until Zelenskyy surrendered, overthrown or killed.

Now I really am wondering what was so urgent for Putin last night!
On which planet is this morally acceptable?

Oh another one's (belatedly) gone:

Jack's saved me a lot of work! Nice one!

#Ukraine seemed to claim it had hit the #Antonivskyi bridge again, but if they did, it doesn't seem to have hurt #Russia

This new video proves what we already knew: they're making a pontoon bridge to replace the current pontoon ferry which carries 1,000 pieces of equipment/day.
Look at the remains of the train which #Russia bombed yesterday in #Dnipropetrovsk region.

25 people died, including two children at the station in #Chaplyne.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Zelenskyy & Biden agree on the need to return the nuclear plant to #Ukraine's control and allow the IAEA visit.

They also discussed tightening #Russia sanctions while Zelensky proposed bilateral coordination to restore critical infrastructure facilities.

Pres @ZelenskyyUa calls for international pressure to force Russia to quit the nuclear power plant.

"The world must understand what a threat this is: if the diesel generators did not turn on, we would already be forced to overcome the consequences of a radiation accident"
In occupied #Horliva in #Donetsk region, missiles caused fired in a transformer substation in the Stirol plant and in the roof of the Transammiak plant, the roof of the building is on fire .
Seems the fires on the south coast of #Ukraine in the occupied territory are growing, unless there's been a missile strike.

This is Bilosarayska, a spit of land between Berdyan'sk and Mariupol', in #Donetsk region.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
The night shelling of #Nikopol is underway already.

Explosions heard, and now a fire at the scene. No word yet what exactly is ablaze.

#StandWithUkraine️ #StopRussia
Maybe the pontoon bridge under the #Antonivskyi was just too tempting...

This video (audio only) is said to be from near the bridge in #Kherson. Only air defence here or missiles landing too?

#Ukraine #RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
The Leader of the European People's Party, @ManfredWeber has spoken strongly in favour of a ban on visas for Russians.

"We don't want those who are partly responsible for this war to go on vacation with us."

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
