Friday's daily thread covering #Russia's war on #Ukraine starts here

In the #UK, 4 November is/was "Mischief Night" (is that still a thing?); sadly every day's a nightmare for Ukrainians

It's Day 254
Coming up: pleas for help from people in Mariupol and a new #Bucha documentary
Firstly, thanks to Tony for buying me a coffee (and a bacon sandwich too!)
If you think I deserve a coffee, see my bio.

If you missed anything yesterday, here's the link:

It's 3am in #Mariupol where temps will dip to +2
While many other areas of #Ukraine don't have power, many residents in occupied Mariupol don't even have windows. Civilians still forced to live in ruined tower blocks, hang banners "Children freezing" & "Where are the windows"
A new documentary by some of the biggest organisations in journalism, shows the definitive truth about war crimes in #Bucha.

10 months ago #Russia's 'army' was committing appalling acts just outside #Kyiv

Graphic video:
#Ukraine's troops still defend valiantly in #Bakhmut.

The city is ruined. Some citizens still remain. So does humanity. Food is scarce, but always important to find enough for man's best friends.
In #Donetsk region, a house has been partially destroyed in #Makiivka (RU: #Makeevke)

Looks like a missile attack, but the Occupiers are silent so far.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome
No photos but credible reports of a Russian base having been hit this morning in #Oleshka in #Kherson region.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Russia is employing troops to shoot its own troops if they try to retreat. It's so Hitleresque!
I thought we may have the first day of 1,000 Russian deaths in #Ukraine. In the event just short, but I think the second highest daily number of 🇷🇺soldiers killed in battle
#Ukraine's President will soon be (back) on @netflix

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a guest on the chat show "My next guest needs no introduction" hosted by legendary David Letterman.

The two chatted in a metro station.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Occupied #Donetsk region - a missile has hit the town of #Horlivka.

No news yet on target or damage.

#StandWithUkraine
Last night I reported on the strike of a building in occupied #Makiivka.

#Russia says one woman died.
But if it was a #Ukraine hit, they've had very good intel and precision western weapons to pick off accommodation used by invading soldiers.

#Makeevka #RussianGoHome
A bridge in deepest Russia appears to be coming out in sympathy with the #Antonivskyi in #Kherson!

A big hole suddenly appeared here in #Orsk near the border with Kazakhstan
#Netherlands announces a new €120 million military aid package for #Ukraine.

The deal will include tanks and other weapons.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Three more fires of some note in #Russia today.
1: one person died, 25 rescued in #Vladivostok
2: Blaze inside shopping centre in #Penza
3: #Ukyanovsk - big fire in new development.

#RussiaOnFire
A court in occupied #Sevastopol has declared 17 "missing" crew of the #Moskva dead.

But the law refuses to recognise them as victims of war or combat. Relatives would have to wait 2 years for that verdict.

#StopRussia

More great news for #Ukraine from the #USA

The only worry may be the US midterms and if Republicans take back control they may stop the support.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Some networks in #Russia reporting explosions in #Taganrog. Initial reports were over an hour ago and nothing since.

Once previously during the war Taganrog lost power after similar reports. The city if about 50km from #Ukraine

rostov.ru/society/v-taga…
Earlier today officials in Occupied #Kherson said there would be a "round-the-clock" curfew.
It seems there's been widespread anger even among troops, police and Russian sympathisers. The traitor Head has now been forced to deny new restrictions, the 22:00-05:00 curfew remains.
Today #Ukraine's cheeky postal service published another new stamp, this time called "#Crimea Bridge: the encore"

The official launch was on the "Klichko Bridge" in #Kyiv, which famously survived #Russia's recent missile attack.

Hahahahaha!
Upgrade works in progress in occupied #Donetsk!

Earlier today in the city centre they unveiled a signpost saying "To Russia 0 km"
By the evening it had disappeared!

#SlavaUkraini #DonetskIsUkraine
Sorry for delays replying to your messages. I've been busy on multiple fronts, including our team purchasing lots of gear for #Ukraine's soldiers with the donations you guys made.

Boots, thermal underwear and Goretex jackets the main request. Full details/photos in a few days
#Russia's installed administration in #Donetsk says 6 people died in the region today in shelling it says was carried out by #Ukraine.

3 of the deaths happened here at the Stirol plant, which manufactures nitrogen fertilisers and other chemical products.

#StopRussia
Love this! #Ukraine Patriots still very evident in temporarily occupied #Kherson.

This sign received a colour makeover this morning!

Hundreds of #Russian military tents in #Belarus visible on satellite photos.

Plenty of war equipment too on the border with #Ukraine.

Two cruise missiles shot down over #Ukraine.

The country's recently improved air defences managed to hit the Kalibr missiles - one over #Mykolaiv and one in #Kherson region.

Ukrainian officials say they were fired by #Russia from the Black Sea

pravda.com.ua/news/2022/11/4…
Russian channels reporting big explosions in #Pokorovsk in the #Ukraine controlled part of #Donetsk

They claim ammo has been exploding for 3-4 hours near the railway station.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
Elon Musk is accused of switching off 1,300 Starlink terminals on #Ukraine's frontline last week.

The company wants the US govt to pay the bill. CNN quotes a member of #Ukraine's military saying they were "disconnected due to a lack of funding"

edition.cnn.com/2022/11/04/pol…
Quite a lot of drones have been buzzing over, and attacking, #Ukraine this evening.

#Vinnytsia #Dnipro and #Mykolaiv seem worst affected so far, but no reports of serious damage yet, except to the Iranian machinery

Sunday 3 August 2025. It's Day 1257.
T-7 days til Trump's self-imposed deadline for Russia expires.

But Putin's horde continue to hit civilian targets.
However Ukraine has been hitting military targets in greater number overnight.

Here's THE daily🧵. All the news All the time
Well Saturday proved to be a very newsworthy day with many attacks on both sides.

Here's the link to the start of Saturday's feed, click and scroll if you missed anything.

1/2
The big story since the last couple of hours of y'day's thread has been Ukraine's multiple successes in breaching Russia's air defence at military targets.

The Kremlin says it destroyed 93 drones, 60 over the Black Sea. There's no mention of how many they missed!
Exhibit A:

It's Day 1266 of Russia's full invasion.

Even the most ardent peaceniks are realising one side doesn't want to stop fighting. At least until, as a state new agency said recently, all Ukrainians are killed.

Each + every day you'll find all the news here in one handy🧵
Let's go!
If you missed anything of yesterday's developments, well not as much to catch up on.

Click the link to review, things only really started going late at night..

Trying to compile threads on a train, using mobile only so far, is a nightmare. My first typo was rather important. It's Day 1256, so the observant don't need to message me 😊

Family day out today, going to see "Evita"
But always a thread and as up to date as I can be.

"White rabbits" is what I have to say to you this morning.

An old British custom is to say 'rabbits' or 'white rabbits' (often 3 times) at the start of a new month to ensure good luck for the month ahead

August is the 43rd month of Russia's war.
Today is Day 1255. Here's the🧵
Yesterday was a depressing day.
Not just Russia's horrific attacks on Kyiv, but the general lack of response and condemnation. The world just shrugs its shoulders.

We are better than this.

Review what you missed yesterday here:

2 weeks ago I said things could move quickly on air defence. One system had reportedly already been delivered to Ukraine

Remember Switzerland's order was bumped down to give priority to🇺🇦?
Now Germany says 2 more Patriots will be sent by October, starting with launchers in days

Day 1254. Eight more til Trump Sanctions Day.

Putin's response was to bomb the cr*p out of Ukraine's capital again overnight.

It's decency against inhumanity. Which side are you on?

Welcome to THE daily thread.
Wednesday was a fairly quiet day, punctuated by the odd Russian missile attack, before another enormous attack centre on Kyiv.. and it's still going on.

But Ukraine hit back in Russia.
Missed anything? Click and scroll, but please come back!

Five missiles are over Kyiv right now.
I hope everyone's safely in shelters.

Tuesday 29 July. Day 1252.
Documenting all the important stories and developments in Ukraine's ongoing fight for survival against an invading horde.

Every Single Day. No break, no days off.
All the news from the war in Europe, all the time.
Monday was probably a better day for Ukraine.
We saw Trump appear to lose patience with indicted war criminal Putin, we saw a Ukraine flag replanted in one reclaimed village & late in the thread more strikes on Russia's rail infrastructure.

Catch up here
I'll begin in Rostov region, where earlier Ukraine hit railway infrastructure in the town of Salsk.

Pretty much the whole of the rail network in Rostov oblast is crucial to Russia's military. The proximity to occupied parts of Ukraine & the route to Crimea run through here. Image

Day 1249 of terrorism being inflicted on Ukraine.

It's been another very difficult night as Russia pounds major cities with combined attacks.

I'm still documenting all the war crimes - no sleep yet, please support my work with a KoFi (link in profile)

Here's Saturday's thread
Russia's night time attack is continuing.
Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions have been most badly hit.

You can read about most of the attack towards the end of Friday's thread - it's another big one and here's the link for the start; click & scroll..

This is the shocking sight in Dnipro after the latest of many missile attacks on the city and wider region this morning.
