This is Thursday's thread with news, views, analysis on #Russia's unprovoked war in #Ukraine, updated throughout the day.

Day 204 starts with a recap of the main story which broke very late last night:
🇺🇦President Zelenskyy is ok despite a car crash

If you missed that, or just want a recap of Wednesday's news from #Ukraine and beyond, then just click here and scroll at your leisure!

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

The other big story was #Russia's deliberate bombing of a dam, trying to flood #Ukraine's 7th biggest city, #KrivyiRih (RU: #KrivoyRog)

It's the home town of President @ZelenskyyUa
Late in the evening authorities evacuated houses of those living closest to the river.
Yet another major rail accident in #Russia - a sabotage group claims responsibility.

Here a locomotive carrying oil was derailed in #Nizhnekamsk, in the Republic of #Tatarstan.

#StopRussia
New data show #Japan continues giving more & more money to #Russia

With tensions high over the Kuril Islands, Japan did not import any fuel from Moscow in June, but today's August's figures are known.
Although 20% down in volume on Aug 2021, it's still 54% higher in cash terms.
Britain's daily intelligence update concentrates on #Russia's "regrouping" as #Moscow terms it.

London confirms outright panic in some places with heavy losses in terms of hardware.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Good news from #KryvyiRih - the water level is now falling a little.

112 houses were evacuated overnight due to the flooding caused by #Russia's bombing of a dam.

Engineers carried out 2 more explosions themselves to alleviate the initial problem and are now fixing it.
Figures settling down on the daily statement of #Russia's losses.

The destruction of aircraft, tanks and other vehicles well above the mean in the last 24 hours.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
The team running #Ukraine's railways works quickly.

Already today the first train journey to recently liberated #Balakliia.
These people mostly refugees, able to return home for the first time in half a year.

#RussiansGoHome #SaveUkraine
Ran this video yesterday but now with English subtitles. You may be surprised how open Russia is about this considering they hand out death sentences to "mercenaries" fighting for #Ukraine.

Drug dealer? Rapist? No problem, we'll do a test then enlist you

Can't German intelligence shut up stupid politicians there?

Another front would finish off #Russia and Putin. General mobilisation, body bags of the middle classes in Moscow and 'Piter'. Even Georgia's entry to liberate occupied territories would do it.

The water subsides but the problems multiply for #KryvyiRih after #Russia launches another attack.

Head of the city, Oleksandr Vilkul says there is serious damage at "an industrial enterprise.2
No casualties reported.
#StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
Another (censored) video from #KryvyiRih (RU: #KrivoyRog) - Zelenskyy's home town - which was hit again today by #Russia.

The fury this is raising among people across #Ukraine is tangible. The determination to "really f***" Russia" is evident.

#StopRussiaNOW #SaveUkraine
Pray for the President of Kyrgyzstan.
Anyone who keeps little Putin waiting is destined for "tea with Putler" or a trip through an open window.

Wonder if Putin will be made to wait by Chinese leader when they meet later in the summit.

#StopRussia #StopPutin
Trouble for the Occupiers in #Mariupol

Residents, still without water or electricity staged a protest. #Russia promised services would be restored weeks ago, having taken control of the city 4 months ago

This is just one small protest, but it could well spread

📹TG mariupolnow
Another base of Russia's Occupiers has been obliterated in #Kherson region.

I reckon #NovaKakhovka is running out of ammunition and soldiers. Looking vulnerable to another #Ukraine advance.... just saying!

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Two explosions in #Melitopol in the last few minutes.

The news is confirmed by the exiled Mayor, citing his sources, saying emergency vehicles are rushing to the south of the Occupied town.

#SlavaUkraini #RussiansGoHome
Fair play to the #Ukraine partisans who managed to do this in #Berdyansk.

They painted the coat of arms near the prosecutor's office in the Occupied town.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
Oops - #Russia injured its own propaganda merchants.

A "news" crew from 'TV Tsentr' overturned when Russian missiles landed in #Zaporizhzhia. Correspondent Nikita Vasiliev and the driver were both injured but survived.

meduza.io/news/2022/09/1…
A #Ukraine court has today sentenced a Commander in the so called "Luhansk" army to 14 years prison.

The man from Izmail, known as "Kryl" was found guilty in absentia in #Odesa.

The EU delegation visiting #Kyiv today was treated to fresh fruit from newly liberated parts of #Kherson oblast.

Kherson is one of the world's leading suppliers of melons and especially watermelons.
This is occupied #Luhansk (RU: #Lugansk)

The person filming claims it's an example of guys being rounded up on the street and bundled off to enforced "conscription" to join the war against #Ukraine.
Impossible to verify, but multiple reports of this happening.
Shocking but I'm not shocked.

Everyone knew it must be happening. It's been the same in every village, town or city which #Russia occupied.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #WarCrimes

news.sky.com/story/mass-bur…
More things landing iñ occupied #Kherson tonight.

This is in #Beryslav, while other explosions reported in #NovaKakhovka

#RussianGoHome
Watch the trailer for a new film about the war crimes in #Bucha.

It's through the eyes of volunteer Kostiantyn Kiastutisovych who managed to save 200 residents from their fate by evacuating from the occupied area north of #Kyiv.

#StandWithUkraine
😢 #StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
In #Kyiv there was a gathering to remember journalists who have died in the war.

Around 30 are known to have been killed in #Russia's unprovoked aggression.

The Supreme Court of #Ukraine has once and for all banned the pro-Russian party "Opposition Platform for Life"

Medvedchuk's party's final appeal was rejected.
The Security Service of Ukraine has so far started 70 criminal investigations against members.

24tv.ua/partiyu-opzzh-…
Will #Russia obey the #UN order? This resolution was passed 26-2.

Noticeable that #Russia and #China voted against while Burundi, Egypt, India, Pakistan, Senegal, South Africa and Vietnam abstained. Now guess which countries' leaders rely on Rubles!

#Ukraine's government says it has informed @OSCE about the discovery of evidence of torture in the liberated parts of #Kharkiv.

The Prosecutor General's office says there are 33,000 cases of War Crimes now open.

ukrinform.ua/rubric-ato/357…
Earlier this evening a fire broke out near the border checkpoint at #Nekhotiivka - inside #Russia's territory.

The governor of #Belgorod Vyacheslav Gladkov obviously blamed #Ukraine shelling. He says one rocket hit a disused petrol (gas) station

#StopRussiaNOW
#Luhansk

Earlier I posted a video of forced conscription on the streets of #Luhansk.

Now another incident is published, this time even worse scenes from #Molodohvardiisk just 10-15km from the #Russia border.

I've stitched two videos together here, hence the skip.

#StopRussia
Explosions in #Melitopol'

Occupiers say their air defence is working. Locals are not convinced. So far results are inconclusive.

#SaveUkraine #RussiansGoHome
Finally for today I've had a few people asking why I haven't mentioned the Sun's story of attempted assassination of Putin.

There are no real quotes, no evidence. That's why I ignored the story when I saw it on Telegram.

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:
1/2
 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

Day 1296 of Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine, welcome to THE daily thread for Thursday 11 Sept.

My thoughts today are with all Americans on the 24th anniversary of a sickening terrorist attack, born of hatred.

It seems we learned little. A cycle of violence has to end.
Some may accuse me of hypocrisy, and that's fine, it's their right in a free world.

My strongest criticism is reserved for leaders who spread lies, try to brainwash and use people instead of helping them.

I don't hate all Russians, though I detest what the country has become.
If ever the U.S. and the free world needed to be unified, it is now, just like we were 24 year ago.

Russia is an existential threat to Ukraine even existing, but also to the way of life of all of us.

Yesterday was momentous, read the thread:

Here we go then, another day in Russia's imperial war on Ukraine

Too many "allies" of Ukraine lacked vision, understanding or balls, or all three and merely tried to stop the punching, while the US now rather sadistically aids the killing while shouting "peace"

It's Monday's🧵
Day 1293 has started quietly, but with politicians back in offices, there may be developments later.

Sunday was a day of violence, recrimination and clearing up after the worst single night's attack in world history, in terms of projectiles.
Review here:
No big developments to report on the ground in Ukraine yet, so let me brief you on two political stories to watch for this afternoon.

The French govt is likely to collapse, meaning a new PM will need to be appointed. Macron may choose very pro-Ukraine Defence Min @SebLecornu Image
