Welcome to Daily Thread #220
It's October, which means war has been waged on #Ukraine in 9 different months now by an increasingly desperate #Russia

If you missed anything y'day, take a look here:

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

Late last night #Russia predictably used its veto in the @UN Security Council vote, proving again the UN is useless. Despite condemnation of Russia by the UN leader, the Kremlin can simply avoid punishment.

China, Brazil, India and Gabon abstained. The others voted in favour.
The near siege of #Lyman continues.
While #Russia tries to bring in reserves, there have been unverified reports and videos of its troops fleeing the cauldron.

During the night it seems #Ukraine has been striking #Kreminna, the Russians' escape/reinforcement route.

#StopRussia
Almost all regions of #Ukraine were under air raid warnings a few minutes ago, with explosions heard in #Odesa (#Odessa) and #Mykolaiv (#Nikolaev)

The Mayor of Mykolaiv says a residential building was hit. Seems an Iranian Kamikaze drone got through air defence, now a large fire
In #Odesa at least two loud bangs were heard. Some posts on chat sites and social media report more.

No confirmation yet whether the explosions were due to air defence or Russian missiles/drones hitting #Ukraine land.

#Odessa #SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
Also reports of explosions in #Kramatorsk this morning.

Back to #Odesa and here's an alternative video - two separate explosions can clearly be heard in this CCTV footage.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia #Odessa
There's now a video of the vandalism of #Russia's Consulate in #NewYork.

This happened just under 24 hours ago and I first reported it in yesterday's thread with photos only.

#StandWithUkraine #StopPutinNOW
#Mongolia has offered to issue residency permits to all those fleeing #Russia to avoid a military call-up.

Previously those crossing the border without a visa could only stay 30 days.

#MobilizationInRussia #StopRussia
Britain today points out what's been mentioned in these threads many times before. The use of air defence missiles to kill civilians.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
With Putin ordering #Russia's troops in #Lyman not to retreat the casualties get higher and higher with close combat fighting likely.

Tomorrow looks very likely to hit 60,000 wasted Russian lives, all dying for nothing.

#StandWithUkraine
#Ukraine's President gives as the #USA continues to #StandWithUkraine

For the good of the world, freedom and democracy, we must #StopRussia

More outrageous news from Europe's largest nuclear power plant.

#Russia has kidnapped/detained the Director of the #Zaporizhzhia plant which is located in Occupied #Enerhodar.

Here's the full statement from #Ukraine's Energy board:

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
Earlier today #Ukraine's army reached the outskirts of #Lyman.

The yellow and blue flag was unveiled next to the city's "stele" or name-sign. But fierce fighting continues in the city itself.

#StandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraini
⚡️Graphic photos⚡️

A new atrocity is uncovered in eastern #Ukraine

Near recently liberated #Kupyansk, a convoy of cars was attacked a week ago. 7 families' cars were fired on by the retreating Russians. Twenty people were killed, including 10 children.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine's managed to liberate more villages near #Lyman.

Novoselivka, Shandryholovo and Stavky are clear of invaders according to Kyiv, but last night #Russia was saying it had regained ground inside #Stavky.
The balance of evidence points to Ukraine being correct.
Even the most rabid pro-Russian sites are now reporting The Kremlin's troops are retreating from #Lyman.

The firefight seems to be the attempt by #Russia to protect troops and maybe some equipment they try to preserve. It's likely they will move back as far as #Kreminna.
Footage now of #Russia's vehicles fleeing on the one route out of #Lyman

The "Return alive" group publishes aerial shots of some of an estimated 5,000 trapped Kremlin fighters hurrying away - #Ukraine has fire control and I understand is picking off many

facebook.com/watch/?v=11231…
As many as 13 explosions reported in occupied #Enerhodar (unverified).

Earlier today #Russia kidnapped the director of the Nuclear Power Plant in the town in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
Another strange video has been published, which I cannot verify.

A #Ukraine patriot says this is happening in Occupied #Zaporizhzhia region. #Russia seems to be burying things - no one knows what but some allege it must be chemical weapons.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
I cannot post this video on Twitter as I'll likely get banned.

It's from @censor_net showing the scale of destruction of #Russia's forces on the roads in #Lyman

Corpses, armoured vehicles everywhere. This looks like a rout; a tactical disaster by #Putin

t.me/censor_net/175…
Explosions happening on occupied #Crimea at the big Russian air base at #Belbek.

#SlavaUkraini
There's also a short video posted on Telegram showing smoke from the scene of the exolosions at the #Belbek air field, #Crimea.

#CrimeaIsUkraine
#Russia says a plane caught fire and skidded off the runway at the #Belbek military airfield.

Yet on the first photo I posted looks a lot like explosions🤨

All according to plan 🤣
And now we have a video of the explosions at the #Belbek airfield.

If a plane just "skidded off the runway" I dread to think what it was carrying or what it hit.

Looks increasingly like a Ukraine strike
#Crimea #Ukraine
And this too is supposedly from #Belbek when "a Russian plane skidded off the runway" cough cough!

Still trying to work out what's going on here, but sure you'll enjoy watching!

#StandWithUkraine #Crimea
I guess this is good news, considering the environmental impact. But I hope it never flows again.

#StopRussia

Some important jobs are already being done by #Ukraine's fighters in liberated #Lyman.

Signs erected by #Russia being torn down.

#SlavaUkraini
Back to the explosions at the #Belbek airfield in Occupied #Crimea.

The Head of #Sevastopol says the fire is now out. And there does indeed seem to be a grainy video confirming a plane overshot the runway by a long way.

#StopRussia
A lot of theories sent to me about this. The most popular, and likely, is they are marine mines.

But why bury them in already dug trenches?
Some correspondents adamant they'll be covered with contaminated waste and then blown up when🇺🇦army approaches.

If ever you wonder if we are doing the right thing. If you know people who think "Russia can't be that bad" just let them read this

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine️

news.sky.com/story/released…
Earlier I posted a mysterious drone video showing what may have been #Russia burying marine mines in a field.

Is this #Ukraine hitting them, or another similar trench of buried explosives? Potentially before any harmful substance is placed on top?

This 57 year old became a mercenary for #Russia to kill in #Ukraine.

His T shirt says Strength (is) Truth.

The truth is Mikhail Shiyan is now strong fertiliser.

#StopRussiaNOW
As Day 220 draws to a close, we have ongoing battles in #Kreminna where #Russia's fleeing forces try to establish new defences, and in #Kherson region where #Ukraine is pushing forward.

Reality seems to be dawning on Russia, even the censored TV stations

A late start to today's thread on Day 1216 of Russia's war of choice, after another late finish due to the latest murderous attack on civilians by Putin's horde.

With all the important news, every day, this is THE best place for Accurate, Reliable, Honest analysis and reporting
Kyiv was again the target overnight, details at the end of yesterday's thread.
But a lot of important and interesting stories Sunday, including how the animal kingdom took revenge on one traitor, but more pain for Ukraine as a training ground is again hit
Zelenskyy is visiting my shores today, speaking with Sir Keir Starmer to discuss joint defence protection, which will probably see an agreement on manufacturing.

Ukraine's leader points out the hypocrisy of Russia, condemning the US strikes in Iran then hours later hitting Kyiv Image

Welcome to another daily thread - THE place for honest assessment and analysis of all the news around Ukraine and Russia.

It's Day 1214 of the full-scale war. I still have an unblemished record - every single day.

Why not show your support with a ☕️?

Russia displayed outright Nazism + Fascism on Friday.

From killing in Ukraine, more utterings from the war-criminal in chief, to locking up young women and taking legal action against small independent new sites.

8 missiles and 272 drones were fired at Ukraine overnight.

ALL Russian missiles were trained on Kremenchuk, but Ukraine claims NONE reached their targets, including 2 x Kindzhals (5 shot, 3 EW)

In addition 252 UAVs were stopped (93%)
140 being shot down, 112 stopped with EW. Image

Thursday 19 June is Day 1212 of the conflict in Europe.

Russia continues to make ground, expending its soldiers at will for a few more metres as Ukraine fights for its existence having been shamefully let down by the USA.

I'm here every single day, so here's today's daily 🧵
Wednesday saw the death toll in Kyiv rise throughout the day, ending at double the number it started at. Then later Putin cynically told journalists they only hit military targets

Elsewhere another traitor to Ukraine met his fate - click here to catch-up
Another milestone is reached.

Trump is now 150 days late in promising "peace within 24 hours" of taking office.

It's also, as @andrii_sybiha points out, 100 days since🇺🇦 agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, as tRUmp demanded.
Russia did what it always does: delay, lie, kill. Image

Tuesday 17 June 2025.

No time to waste. Kyiv is under the most immense attack.

It's Day 1210 of Russia's increasingly desperate attempt to eviscerate Ukraine and all Ukrainians.

Here's the daily thread, continuing to document the night attacks...
Just gone 04:35 in Kyiv.
A hellish night is not yet over.
Apartment blocks, student dormitories hit.
6 districts of Kyiv city damaged, plus other injuries in the wider region

Here's the link for Monday's thread with all the last half showing the chaos:
If you're just waking up, here's an idea of what's happened to Kyiv while you were sleeping.

Ukraine's capital has not slept.
Many are without homes due to Russia's ongoing war crimes and one person, an American, has lost his life during the attack. Image

Hello again. Day 1203 of Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine

Anyone with a brain slightly larger than that of a chihuahua knows it. Russian history and Putin's own words spelt it out, but peaceniks, Naziniks and idiotniks are still in denial

More proof coming up in🧵for Day 1203
Yesterday's thread lasted well over 24 hours, but nothing to be proud of.

I know I'm crazier than you, and thankfully you all have lives to live. So you will be needing the link to the start of yesterday's thread so you can catch up on what you missed..

Genocide - a short thread within a🧵
I am simply staggered governments and world organisations are too weak to acknowledge the mountain of evidence.

The recent huge missile attacks should be enough, but useful idiots are fooled by Russia's plausible deniability.

A very early start to my daily thread on Day 1202 of Russia's 3 day 'special operation' to capture Kyiv.

It's so special Putin just doesn't want it to stop!

It's another no-sleep night as I start Monday's news feed on all things Ukraine.

Thanks for your support, I rely on you
Another huge Russian attack continues as I type. It could be the biggest yet.

The attack started about half way through yesterday's thread! So catch up here if you're just waking up.

The biggest problem in Ukraine tonight has been for Dubno, in Rivne region.

Heavily attacked in the evening, but now as light bathes the town, it's even worse. All cruise missiles in Ukraine are about to hit, and 3 drones too.
