You've found the start of Friday's thread on the war in #Ukraine.

It's Day 198 of #Russia's illegal war which has resulted in 1000s of war crimes.

Updated throughout the day, one thread for all the news (today I'll try not to mix up the threads!)

Any coffee donations welcome!
Lots of very interesting and emotional news yesterday as a tide of villages became liberated in #Kharkiv region.

I did mix up the threads but if you missed the videos and flag raising, you can join the thread here and scroll down:

Another all time record number number of #Russia's soldiers killed on the battlefields of #Ukraine yesterday.

Also a very high number of additional (support) vehicles and fuel tanks destroyed.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Not expecting any update from the UK's Ministry of Defence today.

Politics has been suspended in Britain as a mark of respect for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
🖤🇬🇧🖤
#Kharkiv region and #Sloviansk were shelled overnight.
But again the number of rockets flying from #Russia was well down on previous days.

Maybe they're literally shell shocked (or low on stocks and awaiting North Korea's gifts)?

#StandWithUkraine️ #RussiansGoHome
Strong rumours that #Ukraine has captured another high ranking Russian officer.

Lieutenant General Andrey Sychevoi, who was Commander of Russia's "west" occupation unit, is believed to have been caught near #Balakliia

24tv.ua/sichyevoy-potr…
Another symbol of resistance is spring up in occupied towns and cities in the south of #Ukraine.

It's a very simple, but pertinent thing: the letter " Ї "

There is no such letter in the Russian alphabet, while the i with two dots also appears in #UkraЇna
⚡️Breaking⚡️

#Ukraine claims a hospital in #Sumy region has been hit by #Russia, there are injuries.

Here's a translation of the announcement - Russian planes firing at the hospital.

Strangely though, so far the governor only released photos of the missiles, not the building.
Meanwhile 9 civilians died in the unoccupied part of #Donetsk region in the last 24 hours, according to #Ukraine authorities.

Another 23 people were wounded.
It's reported that 5 people died in Bakhmut, 2 in Zaitsevo, 1 in New York and 1 in Fedorivka

#StandWithUkriane
Stories circulating on social media (unconfirmed), that this is a photo of the Russian installed "Head" of Ivanivka in #Kharkiv region.

The traitor was said to have been arrested during the #Ukraine army's rapid advance through the area.

#StandWithUkraine #StooRussia
A perfectly reasonable mix of satisfaction and threat from #Ukraine's Presidential adviser I think:

#RussiansGoHome

#Ukraine has captured another important village in #Kharkiv which adds real pressure on #Kupiansk.

I'm told Russians have fled #Senke, just 10 miles south of Kupiansk.

Meanwhile first photo from #Chkalovske, which was liberated yesterday.

The blocking of #Izium is close!
As I reported yesterday, #Ukraine's troops are now at #Kupiansk.

Fighting reported in the town itself, but not much. Maybe that's a good sign!

#Izium won't be cut off if 🇺🇦 takes Kupiansk but supply lines become almost non existent.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
The Mayor of #Kharkiv reports a kindergarten and gas station have been hit by Russian missiles.

Ihor Terekhov says there are victims but cannot say yet how many injured or if any died in the attack.

At least 7 explosions reported.

#Kharkov #Ukraine #RussiaIsATerroristState

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia #SaveUkraine
There was a British Intelligence update today after all. It came at 10am, and actually probably wasn't worth waiting for!

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Update from #Kharkiv where 3 children and 7 others have been injured in the attack on the city centre.

#Russia's S-300 missiles hit a school, kindergarten, gas station and a sports facility. Fires still blazing in the centre.

A court in #Russia has confirmed a 21.7 billion rubles fine for #Google.

Think that's around $350m.

Let's hope @Google finally walks out on Russia and disables all apps and support because
#RussiaIsATerroristState
Update on #Kharkiv

Thirteen people injured including children aged 3, 11 and 15.

#RussiaIsATerroristState

⚡Just in ⚡
Again small signs that discontent is growing in #Russia.

One journalist hitting back hard against the stream of vile propaganda on Putin's state TV channels.

Also on the same programme a #Russia appointed official admits they're evacuating #Izium ahead of the expected #Ukraine advance.

Vitaliy Ganchev said civilians were being taken from 3 towns in #Kharkiv region: #Kupiansk and #VelikyBurluk as well as Izium

#StandWithUkraine
May be some exaggeration or propaganda, but an incredible update from #Ukraine's MoD this evening.

They claim one Russian Airborne Guards Regiment has "ceased to exist" while another was wandering around in a forest without commanders

#StopRussia

ukrinform.ua/rubric-ato/356…
This is reported to be a photo of the main bridge across the Oskil river in #Kupiansk. It's on various websites and Telegram channels already and while it cannot be verified yet, it would seem likely forward artillery strikes would target it, depriving #Russia of reinforcements.
#NATO Sec Gen @jensstoltenberg says "more than 80% of Russia’s land forces are now dedicated to the war in #Ukraine

Astonishing figures, and now I can't help thinking there's never a better time for a revolution!

internationalaffairs.co/opinion/press-…
1/2
The centre of occupied #Donetsk has been hit by missiles.

Two reported dead and five injured.
This is the moment one of the rockets hit the city.
#RussiansGoHome
2/2
 Propaganda reporters were straight on the scene.

#Russia's Army TV immediately concluding US M-777 were to blame, producing fragments of a shell

#Ukraine's been hitting hundreds of military targets with pinpoint accuracy, advancing 50+km, yet suddenly aims at civilians?🧐💩
This photo is indeed NOT from #Kupiansk.

However there are no up to date photos from the town. #Ukraine may have already struck the bridge.

Reports of more explosions in #Kharkiv. This time on the outskirts of the city and in the wider region.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Big explosions earlier this afternoon in #Chuhuiv in #Kharkiv region.

#Kharkov #Ukraine #SaveUkraine #RussiansGoHome
This reportedly a "Luhansk" soldier's suicide note found by #Ukraine forces near #Balakliia

He complains Russia made them cannon fodder

He signed off with:
“Say that dad was an athlete, didn’t drink or smoke. It’s bad to die and in the summer, right now I would be at sea”
Holy crap. Holy bridge!

This is the bridge in #Kupiansk - checks out with google maps and the time stamp, taken as sun was falling this evening.

Russia is in deep💩in #Kharkiv region.
I n his evening address, President #Zelenskyy said they've regained control of over 30 settlements in #Kharkiv region.

I don't have confirmation, but I've seen separate reports saying both #Oskil and #Kapytolivka (blue arrow) are now liberated.

Attacking #Izium from two sides!
Early evening somewhere in #Kharkiv oblast.

#Ukraine's national anthem has never sounded better
👏👏🇺🇦🇺🇦💪
As darkness fell in #Kharkiv region, battle was raging in #Kupiansk.

There are genuine hopes #Russia could be forced to flee by the morning.

#Ukraine is taking advantage of poorly trained troops lacking experience - The Kremlin is rushing to send conscripts to #Izium.
Even before the battle for #Kupiansk truly began the town showed the scars of recent effects of the war.

TG channel kupyansk_news earlier showed photos of Kamelot hotel on the eastern edge of the town.

My guess here is that #Ukraine identified this as a base for Russian troops
Flashback - #Kupiansk (RU: #Kupyansk) six months ago when #Russia invaded the strategically important town in #Kharkiv region.

After 193 days of occupation, will tomorrow be "Freedom Day" for Kup'ians'k?

#Купянськ #StandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraini

#Russia's 'head' of (occupied) #Kharkiv is shown on local media channels admitting "things are not going well"

Vitaliy Ganchev promises "all settlements taken by #Ukraine will be liberated" but right now urges people to flee to Russia "there will be people to help at the border"
Earlier in the day #Russia did land some reinforcements to defend #Kupiansk.

Huge transport helicopters (poss "Halo") landed near the town to offload troops and tanks - maybe with bridges and roads under #Ukraine fire control it's the only option

#RussiansGoHome
Just before day 198 ends, another episode in the popular series #RussiaOnFire

Tonight's story comes from #Ufa in the Republic of #Bashkortostan - about 1,400km east of Moscow.
Possibly connected, it has one of the highest death rates in the war

The Mercury shopping centre burns
More on the previous tweet - the shopping centre fire in #Ufa.

Thanks for @CarolynnePries1 for the tip off.

Despite flames engulfing the Mercury mall, locals still took the opportunity for a bit of looting - ignoring warnings they're on camera!

Welcome to November, which becomes the 46th different month to see fighting in Ukraine

And yet Russia is nowhere near its aim of Kyiv in 3 days.
Indeed 1,344 days behind schedule as we start today's thread on Day 1347 of the full invasion

Please think about sending a KoFi💙💛
Friday saw a lot of damage in Russia, an attempted counter-attack in Pokrovsk, Trump blank Orbán, power cuts in Moscow and so much more.

Clicking here⬇️will take you to the start of yesterday's🧵. Scroll through, catch-up then remember to come back here
Ukraine claims to have damaged a key Russian oil pipeline at Ramenskoe in Moscow region.

Their video shows all 3 (gasoline, diesel, aviation) fuel lines of the 400km Koltsevoy pipeline blown up.

The first pic shows guards patrolling, the second shows the explosives attached..

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.
