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.
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.
Day 1282 of Russia's all-out war is another very grim day with at least 15 civilians murdered by Putin's regime in clear attacks on residential buildings and areas of Kyiv.
Here's the Ukraine-Russia thread for Thursday 28 August 2025
A quiet start to Wednesday exploded into life - more importantly death - in the early hours in Kyiv.

For anyone who missed it yesterday, I am on a different time zone, explaining a later start. It's 07:10 in New York where I am for a few days. So my apologies if you were looking for me earlier.
In the coming days I'll try to start the thread before I go to sleep here.
Good morning world! It's Day 1281, so it must be thread number 1281 (4205 since the start of the Crimea invasion)
Every day documenting the news, without gratuitous gore, and the war crimes as Russia continues its unprovoked all-out war against a sovereign neighbour.
If you missed anything on Tuesday, it's simple to catch up. Just click this link for the start of yesterday's thread and scroll down to where you last read and then continue reading through to the end.
But remember to come back here!
Welcome to Thursday's thread with all the important news on Russia's illegal war in Ukraine.
It's Day 1275 - the day Putin openly mocks Trump.
After China + India upped oil purchases, the indicted war criminal ordered his army to bomb a US company in🇺🇦
Let's begin:
Ukraine is recovering from the predicted massive overnight attack.
Russia launched more than 600 missiles and drones.
The mayhem started in the last third of yesterday's exhausting thread. If you missed it, click and scroll here:
It's Day 1274 of Ukraine's incredible defence of its people, land, culture + shielding many NATO states, next on Putin's hit-list from his long stated dream to reunite the USSR
Somehow Trump & his cults (I nearly misspelled that) seem intent on helping Putin.
Here's the daily🧵
Tuesday was another 50+ post thread, packed full of some more untold insights into Ukraine news and life, including the resurgence of Covid and a language 'foul' on the football field.
But politics and Russian atrocities are omnipresent.
Here's your link
Let me start with an unwanted shock for residents in Poltava, who were warned of a radiation threat this morning, I imagine sparking all sorts of horrific thoughts.
Thankfully, the governor says it was human error, Myrhorod should've had an air alert, not the radiation warning.
Zelenskyy's forced to be careful, but Ukraine's always been ready for the unconditional ceasefire Trump first demanded 5 months ago. So no surprise he's travelling to Washington on Monday
It's Alaska Day, or a couple of half-baked Alaskas meeting later as Russia hopes to carve up Ukraine, with Trump's approval.
That's much later on Day 1269 of Putin's war.
As I start this thread at around 02:30 GMT, 05:30 Ukraine, there is a big attack on Russia.
Let the🧵begin
In a rush to get to sleep, so let me waste no further time in giving the link to yesterday's thread.
