Hello & welcome to another daily thread on Day 268 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine, although the war can be traced back almost 9 years to early 2014.
Plenty of news yesterday, if you missed something take a scroll through Thursday's news feed here
Let me start with an update on this story from last night
I've traced the original to vanek_nikolaev's TG channel and now had it confirmed #Chaplynka was hit again, so this is likely genuine, multiple explosions in #Kherson region, just 16km from #Crimea
#Ukraine Presidential Adviser Oleksiy Arestovych says the west is so afraid of escalating things with #Russia they are effectively finding excuses to water-down the Terrorist State's wrongdoings.
A new sculpture "Hands Of Life" is unveiled in #Kozov
The artist is Vyacheslav Emelianenko from #Kharkiv. He sheltered in the town in the early days of the war and this is his way of saying thanks.
Note the viburnum tree🇺🇦
I've just seen this video on the page of a #Ukraine official. It's supposedly a Belarusian being beaten - with the video found on the phone of an occupier in #Kherson who fled.
Personally I'm sceptical - it's likely staged.
One of #Russia's spies has defected to #Estonia, embarrassing the Kremlin.
Nothing new in the UK Intel update today. But there is a reminder that #Russia seems to accept it's likely to lose more ground with defensive lines well behind the current front line in #Ukraine
Including the strike on #Dzhankoi in #Crimea a couple of days ago and last night's hit on #Chaplynka, the armed forces of #Ukraine claim to have hit 11 of #Russia's bases in just four days.
Collaborator in occupied part of #Kherson region Ekaterina Gubareva "does not fulfill her duties, does not participate in the work of the government" said spokesman.
This cannot be verified yet, but Russians have been gaining ground slowly in this area. Opitne is just 5km from #Avdiivka, held by #Ukraine and 5km from the outskirts of occupied #Donetsk city.
#Turkiye says it has completed onshore + underwater pipe-laying for the Sakarya gas project in the Black Sea.
#Turkey expects the project to create a gas centre will start early next year.
Sanctioned propagandist/spokeswoman for #Russia's Foreign Ministry accuses @OSCE of spying!
Mariya Zakharova says OSCE's Special Monitoring Mission to #Ukraine was "collecting sensitive data for Western intelligence"
RU normally invents stuff like this as a diversion🤔
#Finland has seized three planes belonging to Russians.
The Finnish company which operated them refused to provide passenger information.
#Russia has been caught hiding military vehicles at a hospital in occupied #Ukraine.
This video was shot in the village of Mykhailivka in #Zaporizhzhia, around 50km north of #Melitopol'. Locals say a variety of vehicles stay there, some under the maternity wards
Football legend @jksheva7 has quit #Ukraine's National Olympic Committee.
There's been a huge adverse reaction to the news that Hryhoriy Surkis + Nestor Shufrych, former MPs for the pro-Russia party, were invited on to the committee.
Shevchenko put this on Facebook:
The latest revolt from mobilised Russians has come from guys from #Tomsk.
They were told they would be territorial defence but now realise they will be cannon fodder and without any equipment either!
Earlier I wrote about @jksheva7 Andriy Shevchenko's decision to quit #Ukraine's National Olympic Committee in protest at two former pro-Russian MPs joining the committee.
Chechen "soldiers" stand accused of murdering an entire family in Occupied #Zaporizhzhia
Telegram channel UAonlii reports that #Russia's troops molested Nataliia Darmobed. When her husband Aleksandr try to intervene the invaders shot the couple and their young sons.
Unverified

The first train from #Ukraine's capital heading for #Kherson since February, has just departed #Kyiv.
The southern city was liberated exactly a week ago.
There's another reported case of "friendly fire" among the invaders, although it appears the Chechens and newly mobilised Russians are far from friends.
Unconfirmed reports tell of shots being fired between the groups in #Makiivka in #Donetsk region. 3 were injured.
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
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😳🫣
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...
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!
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.

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.
