Another weekend, another daily thread about the war in #Ukraine, a country fighting for its survival in the face of the onslaught from #Russia's huge army of war criminals and mercenaries.

It's Day 206

So all Saturday's stories coming up, although I am commentating all day today so updates may be slower, apologies in advance.

Friday was quite a day. If you missed anything, fear not. Relive the unfolding events right here:

#SlavaUkraini #StopRussia

First, nice to start with a success story from #Ukraine

Donations helped keep #Mykolaiv zoo and its animals alive and well despite the war.

Online ticket sales raised €3m, staying in business and keeping animals alive. What's more, a rare Amur Leopard cub was born this year
Saturday hasn't started so nicely in #Kharkiv

Nightly explosions are back after a brief respite a couple of days ago.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Ukraine's Commissioner for Human Rights claims Russian soldiers fled so quickly in the disorganised retreat from #Kharkiv region, that some even forgot their passports

Dmitry Lubinets gleefully says "Russian, we know you" as he holds one of the documents, but he doesn't open it
Pres. adviser @Podolyak_M talked about Friday's bombings in occupied #Berdyansk #Melitopol + #Kherson saying they're legitimate targets.

The last two were hit by missiles while Patriots are believed to have killed the Dep Mayor + his wife in Berdyansk, who prepared a referendum.
After the photos from #Izium (RU: #Izyum), last night many channels carried video reports after the world's media was allowed to see the horrors left by Russians.

I've picked out this emotional piece from the BBC's @OrlaGuerin

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Some relief for #Russia in its' "sphere of influence" as ceasefires seem to be holding in both the #Armenia-#Azerbaijan conflict as well as #Kyrgyzstan-#Tajikistan flare up.

24 people died in border clashes in the latter.

#StopRussia
Despite continuation of the illegal war, not to mention despicable war crimes, the Head of the Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach is reported to have talked about the possibility of participation of athletes from #Russia in the Olympics

@iocmedia shd clarify

This morning Britain hints at more possible territorial gains for #Ukraine, questioning #Russia's supplies and morale in defending the front line in #Luhansk.

Ukraine taking control of the Kupiansk railway junction yesterday is important if confirmed.

#StandWithUkraine️
How cool is this?
Reportedly a train from #Kyiv to #Uzhhorod in the west.

#Ukraine's Head of Donetsk says it's clear the invaders are targeting infrastructure to hit civilians
The Collaborators killed in #Berdyansk yesterday were shot dead, it's revealed.

#Ukraine says it has uncovered another torture chamber used on residents in #Kharkiv region.

The grim discovery came in the village of Kozach Lopan.

These photos are from the basement. Police and war crimes investigators have opened a case.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Sorry to keep pushing, but we really need help to get near or reach our goal. The more we raise the better price we get for the equipment, the more #Ukraine soldiers we can help. Please share even if you can't afford a donation. Thank you 💙💛

oops! A coal wagon mysteriously overturned in #Russia.

This happened in Kamensk-Uralsky, #Sverdlovsk region. Six wagons came off the tracks.

Obviously there are no saboteurs causing an increase in derailing in Putin's Russia😉
The head of the papal alms service, Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, came under fire in #Ukraine

He told the #Vatican News portal. The incident occurred during the distribution of humanitarian aid.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
It's been a long, tough day.
The good news is you guys have taken the fundraiser over £500 in a day and a half, around 600 Euros.
The even better news is we've sourced some great volunteers, drivers and suppliers.

Soon, photos of what your money will be buying & a special offer!
In #Kherson tonight high drama with a long shoot out on the streets.

The military of the Occupier appears to have been attacked and they claim to have destroyed the gang of unknown armed men with no casualties among the Russians.

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

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

Day 1292 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and Sunday begins with Russia again hitting civilians across the country in another massive attack on a sleeping population.

It's gone 5am in🇺🇦, no-one's able to sleep yet, and I'm starting another daily thread before going to bed...
Saturday exploded into life, and death, at night as Russia began what proved to be an enormous launch of drones, then missiles, at various cities across Ukraine.

Review all yesterday's news here:

The scene in Kyiv this morning.
Just before dawn, the skyline is filled with smoke after more terrorist strikes by Russia.

Terrorism and nukes are all Putin has left.
TACO Trump is the weakest US President ever, yet again failing to honour his deadline, refusing to stop Putin.
