You've found the start of the daily thread covering the important news as #Russia continues to attack #Ukraine.

This is Day 185 of the full and illegal war on a peaceful nation.

Updated throughout the day - scroll ⬇️for the main stories
#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
If you missed any of yesterday's developments, here's the start of that thread.

(Thanks very much to Bryan, David and Michael for buying me a coffee - personalised email to follow)

Once again #Kharkiv is already experiencing attacks early this Saturday morning.

It looks as though there are no civilian casualties so far after explosions near the centre of the city in NE #Ukraine.

#StopRussianAggression #SaveUkraine
Shelling occurred in #Kharkiv's Osnovianskyi and Kyivskyi districts, near the centre, shortly after 2am.

The air raid warning there tonight was the 1,000th time the siren has been sounded in #Kharkiv.
Still some people are unpleasantly surprised...

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
#Ukraine's Southern Command was busy Friday.

In addition to well reported bridge attacks, 2 ammunition dumps were hit in ​Chornobaivka + Inzhernerny areas of #Kherson

In addition they claim 24 Russian soldiers died, 2 anti-aircraft guns + 5 pieces of heavy artillery destroyed.
Late last night it emerged that a deputy head of a village in #Kharkiv region was taken away from his home by occupiers with a bag on his head.

Ihor Poznyanskyi had been one of the leaders of Borova, near #Izium

#Zaporozhzhia welcomed in the weekend with sirens and explosions.

Some locals counted 14 blasts in the city. Missiles look to have been fired from the occupied south of the region.

No word on damage or casualties from #Ukraine's authorities yet
2/2
#Zaporizhzhia is being targeted as much as #Kharkiv recently.

News just in that attacks y'day killed 5 in #Kamianka. It's possible more are still under the rubble after a 4-storey residential building was hit.

Among the dead Anastasia Borovyk and her children aged 2 and 8
#Ukraine partisans have been busy again with some nice trolling of the Occupiers in #Melitopol.

The Resistance has been putting up these posters:
"WARNING - paedophiles use these signs to recognise each other. Be careful!"

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
#Zaporizhzhia update

Governor Oleksandr Starukh says 16 missiles hit the city. Infrastructure was damaged in the Shevchenkiv district. No initial reports of injuries.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW

In occupied #Donetsk very strong explosions in the centre reported right now.

It's the Voroshylovs'kyi district - sounds like HIMARS or other very heavy artillery fire.

Russia's puppets also say #Makiivka #Pastukhivka and the Kyivsky + Kalininsky districts of Donetsk may be hit
#Montenegro, has proved a reliable ally for #Ukraine in the war.

Now a NATO member and strongly in favour of anti-Russian sanctions, the small Balkans country is under cyber-attack from #Russia

#RussiaOnFire

Today's chapter comes from #KomsomolskOnAmur over 8,000km east of #Moscow.

Officials say a fuel depot burns and the roof has collapsed.
Mysteriously they also say "paints and varnishes were stored in the warehouse"

#StopRussia
First video from central #Donetsk and the strong explosions reported in the occupied city.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW

Despite the early reports from locals in #Donetsk, the strikes in the city centre don't seem to be anything near as big as #HIMARS strikes.

A few plumes of smoke all that can be seen so far as dawn breaks in east #Ukraine
Still in #Donetsk region, but this time in #Ukraine controlled #Sloviansk.

A fire has broken out, presumably following a missile strike, but this is currently unconfirmed.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussianAggression
Now unverified photos, said to be taken 3 days ago at the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

The Telegram Channel "Printer Fort" questions how the @iaeaorg can see "no immediate danger" when viewing these pictures of the site in occupied #Enerhodar.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
Earlier I wrote about the shelling of #Kharkiv

One woman was injured by flying glass as two rockets landed in the centre of the city.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine

If #Ukraine's figures on #Russia's losses are accurate they continue to kill a lot of invaders.

However little equipment.
The number of liquidated personnel is the only figure above the daily average(mean)

#StopRussia
Today's British Intelligence update says that #Russia has "made some progress towards the centre of #Pisky" yet @TheStudyofWar and I both think (remains of) the village has been captured.

Overall though #Ukraine defends very well despite being hugely outnumbered.

#HeroiamSlava
#Russia tries to pretend it is so principled. Sanctioned FM spokeswoman Mariya Zakharova again saying they "will me never forget #Kosovo is #Serbia"

Independence clearly such a bad thing!

Oh, unless it's in Ukraine.
Oh, or Chechnya.
But it's good for Catalonia & Scotland right?
Over 1,815,000 people have signed the online petition to try #Putin for war crimes.

You can too

The pontoon bridge across the Dnipro river in #Kherson appears to be undamaged despite the latest strikes on the #Antonivskyi bridge.

Maybe Ukraine just biding its time before hitting this one at the last minute to truly frustrate the Russian occupiers.

One of the many, many war crimes and morally bankrupt actions #Russia stands accused of.

#StopRussiaNOW #SaveUkraine

#Russia has only about 20% of its cruise missiles remaining.

That's the view of #Ukraine's Head of Military Intelligence. Vadym Skibitsky also added "they have no more than 45% of the missiles that were there before the start of the war."

rbc.ua/ukr/news/vadim…
At times @AP has come in for criticism from some #Ukraine watchers for being "too close" to the Russians.

So today's report saying there was no evidence of military among the victims in the #Chaplyne massacre looks credible, leading to more war crimes.

apnews.com/article/russia…
#Putin has told his invaders in #Ukraine to provide armed guards at schools in occupied #Luhansk, #Donetsk, #Kherson and #Zaporizhzhia when the new school year begins next week.
Another "private house" is on fire in #Donetsk.

Remarkably similar to yesterday, far more black smoke and fierce flames than one would imagine for a regular house with regular contents it seems to me. This is in the Kalininskyi district of the occupied city.

#StopRussiaNOW
Video of the situation in frontline #Vuhledar (RU: #Ugledar) in #Donetsk oblast.

The town, as with all others, is just mercilessly bombed by #Russia with no regard for civilian objects or infrastructure.

#Donbas #Ukraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
Near the start of this thread I reported on the explosions in central #Donetsk.

Looks like quite a bit of damage was caused. Here's a video of the scene from this morning.

#Donbas #Ukraine #StandWithUkraine
#Kharkiv's authorities have spent the day cleaning up the night time damage.

Again S-300s were used - ground to air missiles, impossible to guide these properly, so they land "somewhere fairly near" where they are aimed with a lot of collateral damage.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine should soon have MiG-29 fighter aircraft.

Slovakia signed an agreement for fellow NATO neighbours #Poland and #Czechia to patrol its skies.

This allows #Slovakia's stock of Soviet era aircraft to be sent to Ukraine - but Bratislava has indicated it wants some payment.
Explosions in occupied #NovaKakhovka in #Kherson Oblast.

On this video you can just about see the flash and hear the blast a little while later.

#Ukraine #RussiansGoHome
A fire rages in occupied #Donetsk after a suspected missile strike.

This is in Zapereval'na district in the east of the city.

#Donbas #Ukraine #StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A little further east heading away from #Donetsk, there's also been a fire in the village of #Zuhres (RU; Zugres)

I've not heard about rockets here, but still the most likely reason.
The #Ukraine defence ministry account continues its run of great trolling tweets this evening.

A touch of the Harry Potters about this!

Explosions heard in #Mykolaiv this evening.

There is an electric storm in the region, but this doesn't sound like thunder.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Seems as though #Ukraine's artillery is busy this evening.

Multiple loud bangs in occupied #Kherson, seeming to be near the city centre, in addition to the rockets in Nova Kakhovka I wrote about a while ago.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Another collaborator in #Zaporizhzhia is dead.

Andriy Ryzhkov, Head of Police in the town of Mykhailivka was found hanged - supposedly suicide.

He was previously a border guard with #Ukraine before retiring. After the invasion he offered his services to the invaders.

Sunday 3 August 2025. It's Day 1257.
T-7 days til Trump's self-imposed deadline for Russia expires.

But Putin's horde continue to hit civilian targets.
However Ukraine has been hitting military targets in greater number overnight.

Here's THE daily🧵. All the news All the time
Well Saturday proved to be a very newsworthy day with many attacks on both sides.

Here's the link to the start of Saturday's feed, click and scroll if you missed anything.

The big story since the last couple of hours of y'day's thread has been Ukraine's multiple successes in breaching Russia's air defence at military targets.

The Kremlin says it destroyed 93 drones, 60 over the Black Sea. There's no mention of how many they missed!
Exhibit A:

It's Day 1266 of Russia's full invasion.

Even the most ardent peaceniks are realising one side doesn't want to stop fighting. At least until, as a state new agency said recently, all Ukrainians are killed.

Each + every day you'll find all the news here in one handy🧵
Let's go!
If you missed anything of yesterday's developments, well not as much to catch up on.

Click the link to review, things only really started going late at night..

Trying to compile threads on a train, using mobile only so far, is a nightmare. My first typo was rather important. It's Day 1256, so the observant don't need to message me 😊

Family day out today, going to see "Evita"
But always a thread and as up to date as I can be.

"White rabbits" is what I have to say to you this morning.

An old British custom is to say 'rabbits' or 'white rabbits' (often 3 times) at the start of a new month to ensure good luck for the month ahead

August is the 43rd month of Russia's war.
Today is Day 1255. Here's the🧵
Yesterday was a depressing day.
Not just Russia's horrific attacks on Kyiv, but the general lack of response and condemnation. The world just shrugs its shoulders.

We are better than this.

Review what you missed yesterday here:

2 weeks ago I said things could move quickly on air defence. One system had reportedly already been delivered to Ukraine

Remember Switzerland's order was bumped down to give priority to🇺🇦?
Now Germany says 2 more Patriots will be sent by October, starting with launchers in days

Day 1254. Eight more til Trump Sanctions Day.

Putin's response was to bomb the cr*p out of Ukraine's capital again overnight.

It's decency against inhumanity. Which side are you on?

Welcome to THE daily thread.
Wednesday was a fairly quiet day, punctuated by the odd Russian missile attack, before another enormous attack centre on Kyiv.. and it's still going on.

But Ukraine hit back in Russia.
Missed anything? Click and scroll, but please come back!

Five missiles are over Kyiv right now.
I hope everyone's safely in shelters.

Tuesday 29 July. Day 1252.
Documenting all the important stories and developments in Ukraine's ongoing fight for survival against an invading horde.

Every Single Day. No break, no days off.
All the news from the war in Europe, all the time.
Monday was probably a better day for Ukraine.
We saw Trump appear to lose patience with indicted war criminal Putin, we saw a Ukraine flag replanted in one reclaimed village & late in the thread more strikes on Russia's rail infrastructure.

Catch up here
I'll begin in Rostov region, where earlier Ukraine hit railway infrastructure in the town of Salsk.

Pretty much the whole of the rail network in Rostov oblast is crucial to Russia's military. The proximity to occupied parts of Ukraine & the route to Crimea run through here. Image

Day 1249 of terrorism being inflicted on Ukraine.

It's been another very difficult night as Russia pounds major cities with combined attacks.

I'm still documenting all the war crimes - no sleep yet, please support my work with a KoFi (link in profile)

Here's Saturday's thread
Russia's night time attack is continuing.
Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions have been most badly hit.

You can read about most of the attack towards the end of Friday's thread - it's another big one and here's the link for the start; click & scroll..

This is the shocking sight in Dnipro after the latest of many missile attacks on the city and wider region this morning.
