Good morning (or evening) to you all on Tues 4 October.

This is the start of my daily thread for Day 223, documenting #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine

If you missed the MUSKalculations yesterday evening, you need to scroll through Monday's thread:

Another blow to #Russia as @nvidia finally announces it's stopping all operations in the Terrorist State.

The company makes chips, and though it had already suspended export, it kept a base there "to support employees"

(Paywall but you can listen free)

Plenty of smoke in #Donetsk on Monday evening.
Still no reports from the Occupiers as to what happened in the Occupied city.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Some are convinced @elonmusk was hacked; there've been no posts since the sh*tstorm 5+ hours ago when he posted something Putin would write.

Many in #Ukraine quick to remind Elon of this photo from #Mariupol when #Russia's invaders wrote "Elon Musk is a dick" on a beloved Tesla
#Kharkiv already under attack today.

Mayor of the city has confirmed an "industrial facility" was hit by missiles along with infrastructure.

Bombs fell in the Novobavarskyi and Kholodnohirskyi districts.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
A couple of days ago, "Miss Crimea" was seen singing a patriotic #Ukraine song ("Oi u luzi chervona kalyna") - the video went viral.

Now another video where Olha Valeeva is forced to apologise by #Russia and fined 40,000 rubles. Her friend was ordered detained for 10 days.
The British daily Intelligence update reports on another conscription wave by #Russia which I was unaware of.

#StopRussia
It's now known a 46 year old woman died in the rocket on Novobavarsky in #Kharkiv.

A fire which broke out, was soon containedthe #Ukraine authorities report.

#StandWithUkraine
At some point in the previous 24 hours, the number of APVs destroyed by #Ukraine hit 5,000.

A huge 44 tanks over the last day too while the death toll for #Russia also remains high, though below recent record totals.
Y'day a shell hit the Kontinent mall in #Donetsk (see link) and I said we may never know who was to blame.

Now apparent debris of a Kh-31 missile, used by #Russia was found there.

I assess it's a mistake/fault rather than a deliberate false flag attack

#Ukraine issues advice on how to survive a nuclear (or dirty) bomb.

If you're outside:

Don't look at the flash.
Lie down feet towards the explosion.
Move to shelter after the shockwave

The news in the previous tweet comes after a report in @thetimes predicting #Russia will conduct a nuclear "test" to scare #Ukraine on the border.

It's believed a "nuclear train" is on its way to Russia's western border.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
Courts in #Russia busy...

One fines TikTok 3,000,000 rubles for not removing video "propaganda" of LGBT material.

Another court raises the punishment to 4m for Twitch after it refused to delete an interview with @arestovych

Life in #Russia!
More shocking photos of a freed #Ukraine soldier after being held by #Russia

#Azov's Dmytro Kozatskyi (aka Orest) says he doesn't want to look like a victim. But how can we think otherwise when looking at his emaciated body?

Three more villages confirmed liberated by #Ukraine

Bohuslavka and Borivska Andriivka are in #Kharkiv region while Novopetrivka in #Kherson oblast has also been freed from #Russia's Occupiers.

Here a few remaining residents in Bohuslavka sing the national hymn as the flag rises
Responding to news that Pres @ZelenskyyUa refuses to negotiate with #Putin, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry 'Rolex' Peskov said:
"We will either wait for a change in the positions of the current president, or we will wait for the future Ukraine President, who will change his position"
This reportedly Crimeans queueing in #Kazakhstan to change their Russian passports for #Ukraine documents, having managed to flee Russia's occupation of the peninsula.

#StandWithUkraine
#Russia's installed "head" of #Kherson is being mocked for another video insisting the frontline hasn't changed

#Ukraine liberated:
Starosillia
Velyky Oleksandrivka
Mala Oledsandrivka
Davydiv Brid
Shylova Balka
Novodmytrivka,
Novovoskresenske
Novomykolaivka
Novopetrivka
Dudchany
#Russia has mined the 1st & 2nd atomic power units of the #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

That's the allegation Hryhory Plachkov, ex-head of #Ukraine's State Inspectorate.

"We receive reports of bullying of the station's personnel" said Plachkov.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Biden reveals provision of $625m more military aid for #Ukraine in Presidential phone call to @ZelenskyyUa.

The support will include additional weapons and equipment, including #HIMARS, artillery systems and ammunition, and armoured vehicles.

whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
The #EU has agreed its 8th round of sanctions on #Russia, with full details announced tomorrow when they will be voted through to become law.

There will be a price cap on oil sales, #Cyprus #Greece & #Malta asked for assurances over lost tanker revenue.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Very strange look to the sky over #Belgorod in #Russia tonight.

Propagandists are trying to persuade anyone who will listen it's a super new secret weapon.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Explosions heard in both #Odesa and #Dnipro this evening, but no reports of missiles landing - it seems to be air defence working on missiles or drones.

It's Day 1336 of Russia's full invasion, but that only started because the world didn't provide a deterrent almost 12 years ago when Putin first tested the west's response by invading Crimea

The west failed the test. Are we about to fail the biggest exam too?
It's Tim's daily🧵
There was a big drone attack on western Russia last night, with Rostov in particular feeling the heat

There was also plenty of heat again on Russia's largest gas facility, the Georgian 'government' doing Russia's fascist work, and an a tragedy in Kherson
Ukraine was subjected to 6 missiles and almost 100 attack drones overnight.

None of the 2 ballistics, or 4 S-300 missiles was shot down

Of 98 UAVs launched, 3 were still flying.
Of the remaining 95, just 58 were stopped = 61%

Russia's 37 drones and 6 missiles hit 10 locations Image

An explosive start to Day 1334 of Russia's 10-day operation to erase Ukraine from the map.

Not quite #EATP for Putin.
An early start to Sunday's thread as we have news from central and eastern Russia.

All the news, all the time, every damn day. Here we go again!
So much happened yesterday and the fireworks really started in the last couple of hours.

Do yourself a favour and have a quick skim through what you missed from Saturday's news about Ukraine's battle for survival. Incredibly only 14,000 views😳🫣

Two major hits by Ukraine this morning, way, way back, deep into Russia.

Those with me a few minutes ago will already know some of the details but we have a few more sights to show you, starting in Orenburg.

Here, locals say a gas plant has been hit by drones. Image

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.
