Day 256 of #Russia's 10-day war on #Ukraine.

Here's the start of the daily thread with all the news.
Some dramatic news yesterday - if you missed it, click the link and scroll.

#StopRussia

The news agenda is still dominated by one event in #Russia, where the first serious questions are being asked by "regular" (non liberal) families over military disasters.

It follows this wipeout of a new battalion of mobilised troops by #Ukraine's forces

#Russia's daily losses, published by #Ukraine each day, shows fewer troops and equipment destroyed yesterday than in recent days.

The wipeout of the Voronezh battalion happened previously and likely included in previous days' figures.

#StopRussia
The daily Intel update from Britain's Ministry of Defence has a "weekend" feel to it again!

They revisit the sacking of General Lapin which I covered a while ago as part of a battle between #Russia's MoD and Prigozhin/Wagner 'hawks'

#StopRussia
This footage has been published in #Kherson, supposedly from the regional government building.

Remember #Russia's flag was removed earlier this week and it looks genuine that this is indeed the now abandoned building.

It's also said toilets were again stolen, but no proof here:
What did you do when you woke up this morning?
Turn on the light? Take a shower? Make a tea of coffee?

For anyone in #Ukraine the last task at night or first in the morning is to check when the power cuts will happen and if they will be able to do any of the things you and I did
In #Odesa seems they are fed up with statues being given "patriotic" makeovers!

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Devastation in #Zaporizhzhia overnight with two rockets from #Russia hitting the city centre.

At least one person died in the attacks. One shell hit a local business, the other landed in a residential area.

#Zaporozhe #RussiaIsATerroristState
Here's a before and after look at the centre of #Hulyaipole in #Zaporizhzhia oblast.

Missiles have destroyed the town centre - more wanton civilian destruction.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Another video of devastation in #Bakhmut, where #Ukraine's troops continue to hold out against #Russia's best units.

#StandWithUkraine
In #Ukraine held #Pokrovsk huge explosions heard overnight. The likelihood is #Russia hit an ammunition dump.

Today this is how the out of use school in the town in #Donetsk region.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
I deleted this video from liberated #Lyman and now reposting because #Russia has just claimed it hit a base for #Ukraine fighters, presumably this school was it.

The Kremlin says "up to 100 foreign mercenaries" were destroyed including "about 40 from USA, UK and Poland."
#Russia indirectly admits hacking former British PM's phone.

Moscow spy chief Sergey Naryshkin told a TV programme an SMS from Liz Truss to Anthony Blinken saying "everything is done" referred to the #NordStream pipeline sabotage.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
This news is hardly a surprise, but even some pro-#Russia bloggers now say #Kherson will be conceded in "3-4 days"

The scenes from the admin building and removal of guard-posts indicated that, but #Ukraine has warned it could be a trap.

Kherson's the only major city 🇷🇺 gained.
It looks like another oil terminal in #Russia has been struck. This is in the district of Grayvoron bordering #Ukraine.

However Russians are saying it's a solvent tank alight in an industrial enterprise.

Make up your own minds😉
#StopRussia
Much of occupied #Kherson region has been without power all day and some residents also without water.

Now #Russia says #Ukraine's Resistance has caused the outages with an explosion on the Beryslav-Kakhovka road which damaged concrete supports of a high-voltage power line.
Remarkable video from occupied #Luhansk oblast.
So many people have died the cemeteries are full.

Now they resort to just burying "#Russia's heroes" at the side of the road.

The music by the way is "Everything's Going To Plan" by the late Yegor Letov.

Seen on TG UAonlii
A #Ukraine politician from #Kherson says there are fewer than 20,000 of #Russia's soldiers remaining on the right bank of the region.

By the way the right bank's the LEFT side of the map.

Confused? The left bank is left side of a river in direction it flows; in this case🧭N➡️S
How good is this street art?

In #Mykolaiv, Kolya Serhi made this mural near a playground, to show a boy escaping the war to reach back into his sunny childhood in the city.

#Nikolaev #Ukraine #RussiansGoHome
One news site in #Ukraine has been trying to collect details of all the brawling, killing and general problems with new recruits in #Russia's army.

24tv.ua/ru/mobilizacij…
Another of #Russia's so-called church has been killed in #Ukraine

"Archpriest" Mikhail Vasilev gloried in working at "the headquarters of the Strategic Missile Forces"
Russian Orthodox priests regularly bless missiles sent to kill civilians in #Ukraine & utter racist statements.
Confirmation that the statue of "Catherine the Great" in #Odesa is being dismantled.

This morning I reported on fencing which appeared around the legendary Russian leader. Now a sign has been put on the fence announcing the news.

#Ukraine #Odessa
Unverified video of another mobilised troop rebellion in #Russia.

Again, they complain they were not paid and started shouting abuse at the General in #Kazan.

#RussiansGoHome #StopRussia
Wow! That was quick!

I see this and think:

For the "2nd Army In The World" it's clearly getting hot and they're shi**ing themselves.

Cool time-lapse video from the historic Podil district of #Kyiv.

This is how the "Ghost of Kyiv" painting was created.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
More trouble for #Russia and worse, more public discontent and discussion at the insane losses.

Marines from the Pacific Fleet complained to the Governor of Primorye after suffering 100s of losses near #Pavlivka in #Donetsk oblast.

meduza.io/news/2022/11/0…
#Kherson is no longer subjected to Russian TV programmes!

Spokesman for #Ukraine's Southern Command, Vladislav Nazarov says the Kremlin's propaganda channels stopped being transmitted about a week ago after the previous wave of "evacuations".

#RussiansGoHome #KhersonIsUkraine
A little earlier this was posted on Tiktok allegedly showing #Russia's fearless army adding a children's train ride to the long list of goods stolen from #Kherson.
Maybe they need a faster getaway?

Many media are running this video but it is unverified.

#RussiaisATerroistState
Generally quiet so far tonight in #Ukraine, but just hearing reports of an explosions in #KryvyiRih. Not confirmed yet.

#StopRussia

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.
