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

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.

To catch up with anything you may have missed click and scroll from here:

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!

A few people are asking about my health after my emergency trip to hospital.

I feel ok, and the eye is no worse, which is good news I think. Follow-up appointment in just over a week.

I've been given the ok to fly today - which will mean no updates later on in today's thread.

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:

So let's break down Russia's aerial attack, which consisted of 40 missiles and 574 drones.

Ukraine's air defence intercepted these missiles:
1/4 Kindzhal hypersonic
0/2 ballistic
12/14 Kalibr cruise
18/19 Kh-101 cruise
0/1 unknown

and 546/574 UAVs = 95%

11 locations were hit. Image

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. Image

There's an angry reaction from a wide cross section of society to Trump's compliant acceptance of Putin doing just what he wanted on U.S. soil

Welcome to my🧵on Day 1270 of Russia's war. I've never missed a day, if you want to support my quest for truth
ko-fi.com/twmcltd
Yesterday proved to be about a 26 hour long thread, which even for me was crazy!

Ukraine had great success striking military targets, while eventually, Putin had great success manipulating Trump.

Here's the link if you're catching up:

It's distasteful seeing leaders pussy-foot around, scared to upset Trump's fragile ego

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.

Both X and BSky have been a bit crappy scrolling through threads. One thing you can do is click my profile and then "replies", click one + scroll up

So, as I posted a few minutes ago at the end of Thursday's thread, a big, successful attack on another oil refinery in Russia.

This time it's the Rosneft plant in the city of Syzran, in Saratov region.
