Sunday 28 August, it's Day 186 of #Russia's full scale invasion.

The day begins with the usual sounds of shelling and terror by the Terrorist State upon #Ukraine. Updates to follow..

Here's the link to the start of yesterday's thread

#Zaporizhzhia once again a focal point for #Russia's invaders.

There are indeed reports of firing in both directions, across the frontline which separates free and occupied ZP.

Reliable reports of explosions in occupied areas, while #Ukraine says its' air defence is working:
In #Kharkiv there are conflicting reports.
Some channels say air defences working well here too.
However others posting on social media about "arrivals" in the area, and the audio on this video clip is convincing

#StandWithUkraine #Kharkov #StopRussia
#Dnipropetrovsk oblast also suffering explosions a little earlier.

The south of the region was being hit by Russian missiles, around #KrivyiRih and in #Marhanets where this video is from although it doesn't reveal too much.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
No videos/photos yet from some of the occupied areas, but reliable reports that #Ukraine has taken out a Russian base in #Melitopol and over the regional border in #Kherson oblast, early intel suggests another attack by the Hydroelectric plant in #Kakhovka.
In Occupied #Donetsk plenty of these types of videos on social media.

A busy night for air defence. Not clear yet if any missiles reached their intended targets.

#StopRussiaNOW #StandWithUkraine
Meanwhile let's take a look how #Russia's world is going in occupied #Ukraine.

This is #Donetsk, where after 8 years not too much pushing and shoving as water is handed out.
Taps? Pipes? Who needs those? Putin doesn't give a s**t, which is just as well considering the plumbing!
A new report says "Russians are using underground bunkers at the (#Zaporizhzhia) Nuclear power plant (in #Enerhodar) to hold and torture the ever-increasing number of Ukrainians they abduct"

The daily British Govt Intel looks at the news I wrote about 3 days ago - the notional increase in army numbers.

#StopRussianAggression #SaveUkraine
Seems Saturday was another above average day for those "fishing for Orcs"

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia #RussiaIsATerroristState
As I reported earlier, the exiled mayor of #Melitopol now confirms one of #Russia's largest military bases was destroyed. The "Avtocolorlit" plant is no more says Ivan Fedorov.

He also claims in #Myrny a building being used to prepare a pseudo-referendum was also destroyed.
Two people have been injured by broken glass during overnight shelling of #Zaporizhzhia. Three summer houses were hit in Shevchenkivskyi district in the city.

The village of #Orikhiv, about 50km southeast of ZP was also shelled - no casualties there.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
Also in #Zaporizhzia region, police say "people died" in the village of #Kamianka as a result of "armed aggression of the occupiers"

This is in Polohiv district and can be hard to find on maps - the village has had 3 names in 6 years, previously Kuibysheve + Bilmak.
Occasionally I step back and try to see things from a wider perspective, to ensure I am not taken over by hyperbole and exaggerating #Russia's crimes and the brainwashing of the people.

Then I see things like this and realise I may be too lenient:

Reports coming in of attacks in #Kherson region.

A Russian base may have been hit in occupied #NovaKakhovka

#StandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Here's an unverified video of the potential attack on a base of the Occupiers in #NovaKakhovka, in #Kherson region.

#StopRussia
One more clip of the smoke billowing from the suspected base of #Russia's Occupiers in #NovaKakhovka (RU: #NovayaKakhovka)

Geolocated and timestamp check out.

#Kherson #Ukraine #SlavaUkraini
Your invitation to visit #Ukraine has been cancelled.
That's the message from the country's ambassador in #Germany after another perfect example of appeasement of a dictator.

#Russia says its rocket attack in the centre of #Zaporizhzhia was on the 'Motor Sich' plant, "where helicopters were being repaired"

Meanwhile 🇷🇺 Defence is again accusing #Ukraine of firing "another 5 shells in the 6th block pumping station" which cools the nuclear power plant.
Another Russian base in #Ukraine has been destroyed; this time in #Luhansk

Exiled Governor Serhiy Hadai says they hit #Svatove around 50km from the #Russia border.
The Occupiers published photos of damage without mentioning a military presence.

#StopRussia 📷TG luganskallnews
#Ukraine's Southern Command has also confirmed today's hits on #Russia in #Kherson oblast.

Spokesman Serhiy Bratchuk says they hit soldiers and equipment in #NovaKakhovka, #Lyubimovka and Kherson itself. Among equipment he claims destroyed are 11 rocket launchers.
#StopRussia
Patriotic scenes in #Kyiv.

A huge #Ukraine flag, said to be 430m long was unfurled on a bridge across the Dnipro river in the nation's capital.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Crowds also gathered in #Maidan on #Kyiv.
A separate display saw small flags displayed for each soldier who's died defending #Ukraine from the Russian invasion.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussianAggression
Earlier in this thread I showed people almost fighting in #Donetsk to get to bottles of water.

Even when water does flow in homes in some areas of the occupied city, not sure I'd want to even wash in it, let alone drink it!

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine
A few hours ago in #Crimea there was unexplained smoke.

This was seen near Alupka in the occupied peninsula.

#RussiaOnFire

A couple of videos to bring you from a huge fire raging in the #Volgograd region.

The initial fire broke out in a market right in the centre of the city of #Volzhsky.

It could not be controlled and winds helped flames spread to nearby apartment blocks.

#RussiaOnFire

Another video from the huge fire in central #Volzhsky in the #Volgograd region.

The city was brought to a standstill.
So far, it's thought everyone managed to escape the blaze without injury.
There are quite a few of these types of stories. Usually it's tip offs about partisans or people speaking Ukrainian and they go largely ignored.

Thankfully Bryce survived, so it's good the story will reach a far greater number of people.

#StopRussia

Missiles hit #Rivne this evening.

Regional Head Vitaliy Koval confirmed strikes on the Sarnensky district of the city, which has suffered relatively few attacks in the war so far.

No casualties reported.
#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
Missile attack on the centre of #Kharkiv

The Governor says two rockets have landed - one has hit a local government building it seems.

The only video published so far is this of the initial strike:

#Kharkov
#StopRussiaNOW #RussiaIsATerrorristState
The blaze in #Volgograd region (scroll up for earlier in this thread) continued in to the evening.

Part of the centre of #Volzhsky remains sealed off.

#RussiaOnFire
Military bases of the Russians have been picked off today with alarming regularity for the Occupiers.

Reports (unconfirmed) of another strike where a base has previously been hit. This video is from #Beryslav in #Kherson region.

#StopRussiaNOW #StandWithUkraine
Update on #Kharkiv now.

Short clip from the centre of the city after #Russia's air strikes this evening.

#Ukraine #Kharkov #RussiaIsATerroristState

A lot of people sharing this post or just the photo.

It says fires after explosions in #Crimea

I've had a tip off that it was not caused by an explosion so I'm reserving judgement for now.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
I'm Tweeting this news release from #Russia in full:

"The temporary suspension of the issuance of 10-year international passports by the consular department of the Russian Foreign Ministry for a period of ten years is connected solely with the need to carry out technical work."
In #Russia officials say the cause of the fire at the market in #Volzhsky was "a violation of fire safety requirements during welding"
No injuries

Thx @CarolynnePries1 for spotting a video of the start of the fire from which I've taken this screenshot.

A major incident in #Enerhodar tonight with both sides blaming each other.

5 have been injured, one is critical in hospital after shelling of apartment blocks in the town.
No mention, or danger to, #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerrorristState
More big news - the man declared by #Ukraine's Resistance as their #1 target has been killed in occupied #Kherson

Oleksey Kovalev, a member of @ZelenskyyUa's party, shocked the country when disappearing, then supporting #Russia

Journalist Andrei Tsaplienko reported the news
Ukraine media are reporting that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has sacked Deputy Commander of the National Guard Yaroslav Spodar

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.
