I'm starting a daily thread on #Russia's illegal war for the 200th time.

Yes, we made it to Day 200, but Putin's 4-day "special operation" to take #Kyiv and 10-days to control all of #Ukraine is going "according to plan"😉🤥

All the Ukraine news, all day every day right here⬇️
First, notice the date, 11 September or "9/11"
Please remember all the victims of that horrific day in the U.S.

Hopefully #Russia's terrorism is being beaten thanks to the heroes of #Ukraine, at the front, protecting a free country.
Saturday was amazing:

Last night Pres @ZelenskyyUa announced that two more villages in #Kharkiv had been liberated; #Vasylenkove and #Artemivka.

In truth it's just that #Ukraine's forces only just walked in there. Here's @TheStudyofWar's new map showing how much land is confirmed reclaimed in Kharkiv
While there are rumours of #Ukraine's army already fighting to reclaim #Donetsk airport, #Lysychansk + #Severodonetsk, I'm treating these as just rumours until I get confirmation

100% we do know🇺🇦 crossed the Siversky Donets river in #Donetsk and is fighting for #Lyman + #Yampil
A poerful missile struck the centre of #Dnipro city early this morning.

Officials say it landed in the residential area. A 72 year old man is seriously injured.

As well as private houses, shops, a market and administrative buildings were also damaged.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
In the wider #Dnipropetrovsk region the usual suspects of #Nikopol and #Marhanets were shelled again overnight.

Over 30 grad rockets were fired at the former, injuring 3 people.

Damage to 35 residential buildings, educational institutions, cars, gas pipelines & power lines.
As dawn broke in #Kherson oblast, fireworks were still spraying out in #NovaKakhovka.

Another Howitzer hit on a Russian arms dump - the "show" lasted well over 2 hours with ammunition constantly exploding.

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia
⚡️Breaking⚡️

The nuclear power plant at #Enerhodar is in a critical state again after more shelling.

The management agency says the #Zaporizhzhia plant is disconnected from the grid again. They must put it into "cold shutdown" for safety reasons.
#RussiaIsATerroristState
At least two missile strikes in occupied #Donetsk.
One man is reported to have died.

This is the scene of one of the hits.
#Dnbas #Ukraine
While #Ukraine has done amazingly well in the east of #Kharkiv there are reports of #Russia advancing in the north of the region.

Kozacha Lopan, just 3km from the Russian border, may well have been captured by the invaders along with Sosnivka a hamlet a little further west.
9 civilians wounded, four seriously, in #Mykolaiv (#Nikolaevwhen a missile landed in the city.

Residential buildings are damaged after one big missile landed in the courtyard.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #RussiansGoHome
Another big explosion in #Ukraine-held territory.

This is the lunchtime view of #Bakhmut (RU: #Artemovsk) in #Donetsk region. Quite possibly another fuel dump.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
#Russia's losses today (according to #Ukraine sources) show higher than average numbers for tanks, aircraft, APVs, other vehicles, special equipment and personnel. Another 400 soldiers died for Putin's illegal war in the last 24 hours.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
Update on the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in occupied #Enerhodar.
Thankfully immediate fears have eased.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussiaNOW

#Russia has not returned children to #Ukraine who were due to be go home from "summer camp"

They claim it's too dangerous to return them to #Balakliia and #Izium so they stay in #Krasnodar "for a 2nd shift"

Now with no Russians remaining, parents are under pressure to move to🇷🇺

#Russia needs to deflect from the catastrophic capitulation in #Kharkiv & boost morale.
So this claim is to be treated with caution

🇷🇺says 250 #Ukraine soldiers, 12 APVs destroyed when Iskander missiles hit #Pokrovsk (RU: #Krasnoarmeysk) station during unloading.
2/2

The Head of #Pokrovsk (RU: #Krasnoarmeysk) Ruslan Trebushkin, made a video in the town.
He admits there were 5 cruise missile strikes, so although no sign of APVs, railway here, it is in theory possible they are not showing damage elsewhere.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A clutch more settlements in #Kharkiv region officially liberated from #Russia's occupation.

More missiles in #Mykolaiv region.

This in #Voznensensk where early reports say there were four injuries among civilians as this business was hit.

Neighbouring cities of #Sloviansk and #Kramatorsk have both been hit in attacks by #Russia this afternoon.

.. and a few kilometres away in #Sloviansk another apartment block has been shelled.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
#Russia's retreat from #Kherson?

Extraordinary claims on a usually reliable (pro-#Ukraine) Telegram channel in the occupied city.

Normally I'd dismiss it, but after yesterday, anything's possible!
Here's the translation

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome

💙💛These colours don't run!

Everything going to plan in the elections across #Russia!

Just in the last hour @Sota_Vision reports one candidate arrested. One official observer kidnapped and now another observer files a complaint after needing hospital treatment after people tried to stop her leaving her car
Just 3 km from the border with #Russia, the village of Hoptivka (RU: #Goptovka) is confirmed as free occupation.

All these places are just abandoned now, The north of #Kharkiv region, right up to the border is likely all #Ukraine controlled now.

#VseBudeUkraina #SlavaUkraini
#Ukraine's General Staff has just confirmed the "mighty" Russian army is now retreating from positions in #Kherson region.

Yesterday #Russia's occupation in #Kharkiv region collapsed.

No further details yet...

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Some of #Ukraine's heroes celebrate the liberation of #Izium with shouts of #SlavaUkraini and victorious gunfire into the air.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
#Ukraine under attack. much of #Kharkiv #Kramatorsk #Kremenchuk #Poltava and #Sumy all left without electricity after #Russia struck the thermal power plant in Kharkiv.

It's also reported there are power outages in #Russia's border city of #Belgorod.
Following on from the previous tweet, parts of #Odesa and #Dnipropetrovsk regions are also known to be without electricity.

It follows #Russia's missile strikes at the power station in #Kharkiv and power lines.
Video clip of a huge blast to hit #Voznesensk in #Mykolaiv region today.

It's about 50 miles/80km north-west from the city of #Mykolaiv/#Nikolaev.

This was is nowhere near over. Do not be complacent.
As daylight faded in #Donetsk a little earlier, there were more strikes in the occupied city.
This in the Kyivsky district.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Looks like #Russia may have hit the Thermal Power Plant in #Kremenchuk/#kremenchug as well as the strike on #Kharkiv.

This is just one of the cities currently sitting in darkness.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussiaNOW
Update:

In #Sumy, #Dnipropetrovsk and #Poltava regions of #Ukraine, electricity supplies have been restored,

Work is ongoing in #Kharkiv where the original shelling of the power plant happened.

The former Head of #Kharkiv's intelligence unit has been arrested on suspicion of treason.

3 months ago Roman Dudin was fired from his position with the SBU. More details of the accusations are expected tomorrow.

#Ukraine
First sight of the blaze at the power plant in #Kharkiv.

Russia's missiles earlier caused a loss of electricity in many regions.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Lviv airport hopes to be allowed to resume work shortly.

No flights in or out of #Ukraine have been permitted since #Russia's full invasion in February.
In #Zaporizhzhia a young mother tells her child "don't be scared" as missiles fall near their home.

#Russia has fired 5 rockets on the city.

Remind me, which side is the Nazis?

This Russian blogger has 188,000 followers

Earlier he wrote "It is not enough to return #Ukraine to the middle of the 19th century. These urchins need to be hammered into the stone age. It will be fair."
Satellite photos seem to reveal what looks like plenty of #Iran's equipment being used by #Russia to kill in #Ukraine.

#USA intel said it, Kremlin denied it, so we knew it was true.

Wednesday. Day 1302 of the illegal war started by Russia.

For all the fact-checked news about Ukraine, analysis not sugar-coated, and honest appraisals of the situation, trust an expert who isn't here for clicks (if I was I'd post lies & gory videos).

Thanks for being #TeamTim
Yesterday an astonishing report from Yale showing Russia forcing kidnapped kids to work in drone factories, how Croatia may have embarrassed the Putin/ Hungary/Slovakia axis.

Those and many more stories in Tuesday's thread, click here to review:

2-3 weeks ago, Russia started copying Ukraine's attacks on railway infrastructure and is having success.

At night, Ukrzaliznytsia substations were hit, causing power losses firing the rail network.

Over 20 passenger trains were on affected routes, but there are no casualties. Image

Day 1301 of Ukraine fighting for its survival. The right to be free, speak their own language, worship in their own churches, to learn their own history.

A history of long suppression by Russia.
As war crimes grow daily, the words "never again" don't seem to apply.
Here's the🧵
Yesterday began, and ended, with Russia attacking Zaporizhzhia, injuring civilians.

Also, the head of the IAEA disgraced himself in Russia's arms, changes of 🇺🇦army leadership, and how a Russian guy was a Putin opponent, until 3 mins after being elected.

First though a breaking news after a number of morning attacks by Russia, particularly in Kyiv region.

This is in the town of Fastiv where a logistics centre for the electronic retail company EpiCentre (EpiTsentr).

Day 1300 of Putin's war.
Another 100 days of fighting completed.
We are no nearer peace than we were 100 days ago.

Almost 200 days ago Trump demanded a 30-day unconditional ceasefire.
Not surprising as he started it, it's always Putin stopping peace.

Here's Monday's daily🧵
If you were busy over the weekend, click the link to see all Sunday's stories.

It was a day when Ukraine had to quickly repair a main railway line after a massive explosion, but they also managed to make multiple hits on Russia's rail and oil industries

The overnight bombardment from Russia remained lower than usual, although 84 drones and 3 S-300 missiles caused a fair bit of damage on 'soft' targets

With 59 UAVs stopped, that's a 70% success rate.
None of the missiles was intercepted either

The 28 hits occurred in 13 places Image

Day 1299 - the daily thread starts here, covering all things to do with the illegal invasion of Ukraine by its demonic neighbour.

Plenty to catch up on due to the late start today.
So no time to waste, let's go...
Apologies for the much later start than intended, due to a few technical issues, as well as Dad's Taxi being booked for a rescue mission😂

Before we look at today's events, here's the link back to Saturday's thread:

At the end of yday's thread, I wrote about what was a probable Russian strike on Kyiv's railway.

Ukraine's Gen Staff doesn't say it was an attack but admits a "detonation of ammunition on a train carrying military cargo"

Accidents happen, but either way it's a clear blow.

Hello on Day 1298 of Russia's full invasion of its sovereign neighbour. So, only 1295 days late in fulfilling the boast of taking Kyiv in 3 days. #EATP for Putin.

I've compiled a🧵every single day without fail.
You can help my work with a boost, comment, re-post or a coffee🙏
Friday saw more important visitors arrive in Kyiv (and another familiar place is in Ukraine today).

There was more solidarity and practical support, while Russia suffered more oil woes.

If you missed anything, click and scroll here:

I'll start in Odesa, because that's where the familiar face has turned up.

He was planning to return to Ukraine a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't make it, but now Boris is back.
Loved by nearly all Ukrainians, his early arrival (with Lord Ashcroft) meant he avoids the crowds. Image

Hello once again on Friday 12 September 2025.

Day 1297 of Russia's imperialist war, but the senior bully keeps being given a bloody nose by the junior school kid next door. How embarrassing for the "world's second greatest army" and more 'punches' thrown by Ukraine overnight..
There was so much in yesterday's thread.

Russia hitting churches, Ukraine striking a boat.
The US helping Belarus, which helps🇷🇺 & Trump questioning if the drone attack on Poland was a mistake.
Thursday ended with a Ukraine drone surge into Russia:
It was busy at Kyiv's main railway station this morning with two VIP arrivals making unannounced visits.

Prince Harry accepted a request to return to Ukraine saying "we have to keep (the war) at the forefront of people's minds."

Poland's FM @sikorskiradek hopped off soon after Image
