Hello again, nice to see you here for Tuesday's daily thread on #Russia's illegal war against its peaceful neighbour.

Day 216 of #Ukraine's Resistance. Also the last day of "voting" in the sham (illegal) referenda in Occupied parts of Ukraine

All the news, events and analysis⬇️
If you missed anything yesterday, here's the start of Monday's thread. Scroll at your leisure!

The British Intelligence daily update is out and it covers Putin's immediate plans over the fixed "votes" in 4 of #Ukraine's partially occupied regions.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
The destruction of the airport at #KryvyiRih was the main overnight event (see end of yday's thread)

But 3 communities - Nikopol, Marhanets and Chervonohrihoriv were hit by almost 100 rockets.
No casualties have been recorded so far but officials are still inspecting damage.
Still insanely high losses for #Russia

All the first 5 categories here above the daily average.

#StopRussia #SlavaUkraini
#Russia has turned off gas supplies to Europe again.

The Kremlin claims the Nord Stream 1 pipeline can't be repaired because of sanctions.

What a coincidence, just as #Italy's political parties negotiate to form the new government. Putin desperate for pro Russian voices!
Following on from the previous tweet, mysterious things happening under the sea, discovered by Nordic countries.

#Russia just spent 5 million rubles on iodine tablets (used to help prevent radiation sickness)

Media say the transaction is made within 4 days showing urgency, but there are annual purchases of iodine, so may be a coincidence.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
#Russia has attacked the hotel and restaurant in #Zaporizhzhia's central park.

This is the second hit on this complex.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
Something burns in occupied #Horlivka, north of #Donetsk.

#Gorlovka #Donbas #Ukraine #StopRussia
A councillor in #Tatarstan claims he was attacked while trying to highlight corruption in #Zelenodolsk.

Yevgeny Yefremov was staging a one-man picket with a poster when a masked man jumped on him snatched the poster and left him with a cut on his hand.

In #Russia's southern republics the police are taking extra precautions after yesterday's problems with the anti-mobilisation protests.

In #Nalchik the whole centre is cordoned off, while in #Makhachkala this lot are heading to the centre to prevent gatherings.

#StopRussia
We all know #Russia's army likes to loot, but perhaps the craziest theft has just been revealed following their retreat

In #Kharkiv region employees at 'Novaposhta' returned to work to discover the Occupiers stole the toilet!

Police investigate, but they have nothing to go on😂
🤣🤣🤣
#Russia knows no-one will believe anything to do with the referenda in #Ukraine. The Kremlin knows it's a purely propaganda exercise, so they invent figures that simply cannot be possible because they don't care and like to show that.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
In #Makhachkala metal detectors and 'filtration' before even being allowed in to the main square.
That's where the large crowd and trouble happened yesterday evening.

#Dagestan #Russia #MobilizationInRussia
Apologies for being offline for so long - I get urgent alerts when I'm in meetings, but thankfully nothing urgent to report.

#Ukraine says it's foiled attacks on #Odesa, #KryvyiRih and #Melitopol.
Kh-59 missiles fired by #Russia's fighter jets over the Black Sea were shot down.
Before the war @JoeBiden promised to end #NordStream if #Russia invaded #Ukraine.

This evening The EU parliament's Chair of the EU-US delegation, cryptically posts this:

An investigation in #Bulgaria reveals the country's previous government secretly plotted with #Putin to engineer a "potential suspension of transmission (of gas) through #Ukraine"

bird.bg/dans-potok-bor…
Parts of #Kharkiv are without power this evening after 4 rockets smashed in to the region.

Infrastructure was hit in the Kholodnohirsky district of the city. No casualties are reported.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
More gifts for #Ukraine...
#Germany confirms it will be giving a specially designed "Iris" air defence system to Zelenskyy's government, while the #USA is donating 16 NASAMS rocket launcher according to Ukrainian officials.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
It gets even more ridiculous

"According to the final results of the referendum in #Donetsk, 99.23% voted for union with #Russia, and the turnout was 97.51%"

Just stupid, pathetic, embarrassing. Get the #HIMARS loaded.
Elsewhere 98.42% in #Luhansk voted to join #Russia according to the fairytale.
But having killed or jailed anyone who didn't flee, and holding a referendum at gunpoint, that's almost believable to some. But 87% in #Kherson and 93% in #Zaporizhzhia? Just an insult to intelligence
Eagle eyed viewers have already pointed out many of the voting forms are blank - they couldn't even be bothered to fill in the forms they stuffed into the boxes to make it look real!

#FakeReferendum #RussiaIsATerroristState

Maybe I'm wrong. maybe you're wrong.
Maybe everyone really does want to be in #Russia...

Let's check in on a flight heading to Russia - I'm guessing all tickets were sold out long ago?
Maybe not!
#Poland tells any of its citizens still in #Russia to leave immediately.

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.

Every Single Day.
Ukraine's brave men and women on (or supporting) the frontline cannot switch off, so neither shall I in documenting the major events of Russia's horrific war.

As we begin a new week, it's the 1,321st Daily Thread - never missed one yet. So let's dive-in..
Well it's been lively overnight in Russia, with many reports of Ukraine's drones causing problems.

You can see photos and video from those reports at the end of yesterday's thread, which began with more daytime strikes by Moscow's war criminals...

I'll start with the numbers as Ukraine launched more than twice as many drones as Russia overnight according to official defence figures.

Moscow says it downed 251 UAVs, while Kyiv reports 116 long range drones fired by Russia, of which 83 were stopped (72% success)> Image

Tuesday 30 September 2025 - it's Day 1315 of Russia's full invasion. That's 3 years, 7 months and one week of Ukraine trying to defend itself against an infinitely bigger army.

But Ukrainians have a just cause and the sum is much bigger than the parts.

Here's the daily thread:
A shorter thread yesterday, with not a lot of ground-breaking news. But still more than 30 posts, you may like to catch up on, such as Russia's moaning about its election interference in Moldova coming to nothing!

Yesterday I showed the remarkable downing of a Russian military helicopter by an FPV drone - the price disparity is also incredible.

That hit is included in today's table of Russia's losses during the war, but elsewhere numbers are a little lower. Image

Hello again everybody. Are we ready for Day 1311 of Ukraine's defence against the all-out invasion by a Kremlin horde? I know I am, so let's go.

Documenting all the important news, and Russian war crimes, every single day - still never missed one - this is THE daily thread:
You can almost smell the weekend approaching, but first let's look back at Thursday.

Another wide variety of stories, and what a contrast. Almost record numbers of likes on BSky yet way below par number of views here on X.
Review what you missed here:

Today let's start with some damage in Russia.

Ukraine's drones were probing various places during the night and found another way through to the Afipsky oil refinery.

The Krasnodar region continues to be a good hunting ground in recent days.

Good morning on Day 1310 of the full-scale war in Ukraine. But let's not forget Russia first invaded 11.5 years ago and the free world was too timid to defend a democracy from a tyrant, which led us to this position now after far too many wasted lives (and $)

Here's my daily🧵
Wednesday was another busy-busy day.
Too much to detail, just make sure you are up to date, but clicking and scrolling here, but remember to come back.

Russia has managed to attack railway infrastructure and some power targets overnight.

The latest is in Kirovohrad region, where 3 villages are without power after drone strikes. The city of Oleksandriya in the east of the region was heavily attacked.
There were no casualties.

Day 1305 began with a huge attack on Ukraine.

It's taken an incredible effort to maintain Ukraine's independence this long, but we still need to keep pressure up and keep aid flowing.

It's a marathon effort to research & post the news, please support🙏
ko-fi.com/twmcltd
Friday's thread had the first half of Russia's attack - before that we saw Ukraine's partners tightening sanctions, and Putin sending planes in to NATO territory to lead to another Article 4 discussion.

Loads more news too, catch up here if you missed it
First, the size of the morning attack on Ukraine..

Air defence did well, knocking out 583 projectiles, but that still left 36 hits in 10 places.

Ukraine stopped:
2/8 ballistics
29/32 cruise
552/579 drones (95% success)
