Day 272 of #Russia 4 day plan to take #Kyiv and 10 days to control #Ukraine. How's that going?

Here is another daily thread covering all the news as it happens.

Missed something yesterday? Here's the link for all Monday's news:

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine

Let's start with the daily losses as estimated by #Ukraine.

The total of #Russia's soldiers killed for Putin's egotistical and illegal dream has reached 85,000

The 100,000 figure remain on track to be hit shortly before New Year.

#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine️
British Intelligence comes to the conclusion I wrote about four days ago when #Ukraine appeared to have struck an oil terminal on #Russia's Black Sea coast with a 'marine drone'

#StopRussia #SlavaUkraini
First photos have appeared of the destruction of #Russia's base near #Melitopol, reported here a couple of days ago

This is the state of the building in #Vesele now. Tyre tracks can be seen leaving the building after the missile strikes, presumably full of "Cargo 200" (the dead)
Outrage in the Russian Orthodox Church in #Ukraine as Security Service agents raid the historic #Kyiv-Perchersk Lavra.

The SBU says it is tackling subversive activities of #Russia's special services, ensuring premises are not used to hide sabotage groups or store weapons etc.
#Iran's state News Agency reports top level meetings with #Ukraine over the supply of attack drones to #Russia

"Iran believes misunderstandings that have arisen... can be resolved through continued joint engagement on the issue of alleged drones."
#StopRussia
Remind me: who invaded whom?

#Belgorod is strengthening its border with #Ukraine. The paranoia in #Russia's regions closest to Ukraine is reaching crazy levels.

Maybe it's to stop people leaving or importing weapons to start a Belgorod People's Republic?
All schools in #VelikieLuki in #Russia had to be evacuated this morning.

It's a town of 100,000 people in #Pskov Oblast.

The bomb-scare epidemic continues.
Technology firm Nvidia has finally announced it has quit #Russia, nine months after the illegal war commenced.

@nvidia is one of the world's leading Artificial Intelligence companies.

Another EU leader is "scammed" by #Russia's infamous pranksters "Vovan & Lexus"

Impersonating Emanuel Macron, they managedto speak with Polish President Andrzej Duda on the day a rocket fell in #Poland.

The pair must have assistance from RU Intelligence to get past security
2/2

In the call, #Poland's leader Duda said he wouldn't want to allow a "war with Russia" as a result of the Russian made rocket killed two people in the east of Poland.

The conversation was in English, but the only recording I can find so far is with Russian dubbing
Add to the previous tweets.

I cannot hear all of what #Poland's President Duda says, but here is what #Russia's 'comedians' quoted him as saying:
In #Russia the owners of a warehouse that caused a huge fire in central Moscow at the weekend, have been arrested.

It's now known seven people died in the blaze.
#RussiaOnFire

A fair bit of anger in #Ukraine and #Romania today at the actions of #Hungary's Prime Minister.

Viktor #Orbán met one of the country's top footballers Balazs Dzsudsak.

But Orbán was wearing a scarf of "Great Hungary" which right-wingers say includes parts of Romania + Ukraine.
#Kherson's been under attack from #Russia most of this morning with shells falling again now

Earlier a rocket smashed into this house. The owner was inside but survived. One man was injured.

Remember the Kremlin still considers Kherson part of its territory, "killing their own"
Interesting video, spotted by @Tango9_Ali, but I have not been able to verify its authenticity.

It's supposedly from a club in #Kemerovo in #Russia. Locals started arguing with newly mobilised soldiers.
More "friendly fire" - good job they've not been given guns yet!
The Telegraph reports #UK is sending the new laser-guided "Brimstone" missile to #Ukraine

It can travel double the range of the previous model.

Thanks to Gerry for buying me a coffee and thanks to anyone sending me tip offs - my DMs are open (which means I get a lot of unwanted crap!) and thank you to everyone else for reading/following.

Earlier I reported #Ukraine's Intelligence searching the holy Lavra site in #Kyiv.

Now it transpires searches have taken place in two more sites of the Moscow patriarch of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine.

In #Rivne the church is accused of hiding saboteurs from Belarus.
2/2

The #Russia-aligned church in #Rivne oblast is also accused of spreading Kremlin propaganda.

#Ukraine says around $17,500 was found in the administration of the Sarnensko-Polesye diocese of the UOC.

However these photos are all that's been released so far by #Kyiv
I tweeted this very late last night, so worth another outing today:

#Ukraine has summoned #Hungary's ambassador to its Foreign Ministry in #Kyiv.

They say "the unacceptability of Viktor Orban's act will be brought to his attention"

In #Donetsk, a house has been destroyed after shelling in the #Kirovsky district of the occupied city.

Two people were injured.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Looks like there was a lucky escape in #Kramatorsk.

A petrol station was shelled, but escaped explosion.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #RussiansGoHome
Remember #Russia's MOD saying #Belgorod was now safe from #Ukraine shelling as they'd destroyed the MLRS which was hitting the border villages?

You guessed it, they're now blaming #Ukraine for shelling of #Shebekino. A woman was killed.

They also claim a hospital was shelled.
#Ukraine's Presidential Adviser can't resist a cheeky dig at #Russia and the changing objectives of the invaders' "special military operation"

More smoke rising in #Kherson.

Grad missiles thought to be targeting the liberated city.

#SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
This is Sofiia, a teenage girl in recently liberated #Makiivka in #Luhansk oblast.

She clings to her guinea pig as the family leaves the village which is being evacuated.

#StandWithUkraine️ #StopRussia
📷TG Tsaplienko
So called "religious" types in #Russia have called for #HarryPotter to be banned in the country.

Shows and festivals dedicated to @jk_rowling's character are becoming popular in the country but now planned events in Moscow and St Petersburg could be scrapped after this appeal.
Explosions confirmed in occupied #Tokmak quite near #Melitopol in #Zaporizhzhia region.
Effective campaigning.

@redbull @RedBullUK have blood on their hands. Every drink bought gives tax for #Russia to kill more Ukrainians.

It's a moral duty.

About an hour ago, the Occupiers in #Crimea reported a drone attack on the west coast of the peninsula.

#Russia obviously says all objects were shot down by air defence. Loud explosions reported in Evpatoria initially but also later near Sevastopol and Balaklava.
Update from #Crimea

This is reported to be Trade pavilions on fire right now on Khrustalny Beach in #Sevastopol

I cannot verify the video and although I do think it's likely genuine it's possible it could be caused by a falling drone rather than a successful hit.
The European Parliament will soon declare the mercenary group #Wagner a terrorist organisation.

@JamesCleverly @RishiSunak - shouldn't UK do the same?
More shelling in #Kherson today.
This time the Russians hit the Ostriv or "island" quarter, in the south of the city, on the river.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
The decline in #Putin's influence and popularity continues.
This is in #Armenia this evening.

#StopRussia
Thank you Darren G for the gift of a coffee and a cake too actually - saved for the morning!
More rockets reported to be fired at #Kherson from the occupied side of the river.
#Kherson - a rocket has landed in Ostriv district again. That means "island" in Ukrainian: as the name suggests it's the area next to the river.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
#Bulgaria has surprised many with how resolute its support for #Ukraine has been.

But now a potential row with the #EU after they decided to defy sanctions and allow Lukoil's Black Sea refinery to keep exporting oil products to Europe.

abcnews.go.com/International/…
One more insult and war crime in #Kherson committed by #Russia

The invaders are accused of looting the Ukrainian Private bank, opening all the private safe boxes and stealing the personal belongings.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
UPDATE:
#Russia's sources say they prevented an attack on the thermal power plant at #Balaklava this evening.

Occupying authorities in #Crimea say a number of drones were shot down near, or en route, to the facility.

Impossible to validate the claims.

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.
