9 months ago today #Russia decided to break international law and condemn hundreds of thousands to death, disability and destruction

It's Day 274 of the invasion of #Ukraine, and here's Thursday's daily thread with all the news

Yesterday's news is here:
When the elite becomes diluted...

#Russia's crack airborne units couldn't defend the right bank of #Kherson - will they fare better in #Donbas where #Ukraine cannot target supply lines as easily.

Here's the UK Intel report for Thursday:
#StopRussia
Early, unconfirmed, reports of a strike by #Russia in #Kherson

A rocket landed in the courtyard of one of the high-rise buildings in the city, but no reports of injuries.

#StandWithUkraine
The attack in #Kherson is known to have killed at least one person.

#Russia's rockets hit a residential building in the northern Tavriiskyi district of the city.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
The daily total of #Russia's losses shows an increase of over 10% in a single day for the number of Cruise Missiles shot down.

"only" 310 of #Putin's soldiers killed in the last 24 hours.
#RussiansGoHome #StandWithUkraine
#Kyiv still does not have full power with many in the capital city and the wider region still without electricity.

Most of #Ukraine is back to the standard schedule of power outages and all the country's nuclear power plants will be back to normal by this evening says the govt.
#Russia watchers have long warned (ditto #China) about the country buying influence (or kompromat!) to be able to cash in later.

Is this another case and is @INTERPOL_HQ failing?
How can Russia get outrageous red notices issued yet those against blocked?

Some parents very unhappy in occupied #Sevastopol.

BEFORE #Russia's anti-LGBT+ law was passed, some schoolchildren were given this worksheet. It's entitled "Symbols of Tolerance"

The teacher may be sacked. There is zero tolerance under #Putin in the Terrorist State.
#Russia's new agencies report the illegitimate "president" of #Belarus, Lukashenko, demanding "Ukraine must stop the conflict, everything is now in its hands"

They're trying Uncle Sasha!
Just parts of #Zaporizhzhia, #Kherson #Donetsk to go plus 2 more regions to finish the job!
It's been revealed #Ukraine and #Russia had informal meetings in the #UAE last week according to Reuters

They discussed prisoner exchanges and the possibility of unblocking the export of Russian ammonia through a pipeline to Odessa.

The UAE was mediator, the UN was not involved
#RussiaOnFire

Another government building catches fire in #Russia.

This is in the northern #Arkhangelsk region.
The blaze broke out this morning in the local HQ in Laisky Dok.

The building was evacuated and no casualties reported.
Boris Johnson's been made an honorary citizen of #Kyiv

The #Ukraine capital's city council approved the decision today: Mayor @Vitaliy_Klychko said
"@BorisJohnson has repeatedly visited - both in peace and in the most dramatic time of our struggle against the Russian aggressor."
Earlier today #RussiaOnFire of a different kind...

A shooter killed 3 people, then himself, on the streets of Krymsk in #Krasnodar, near the Slavyansky shopping mall.

Russian media report the 66 year old killer knew 2 of his victims.
A controversial decision taken in #Ukraine today, which I think just gives more fuel to #Russia's propagandists.

The Mayor of #Kharkiv, Ihor Terekhov, was fined for speaking in Russian during a TV address.

In February @ZelenskyyUa spoke Russian in a broadcast but wasn't fined!
Today both the upper house of #Ireland's parliament and the parliament of #Moldova officially recognised the #Holodomor of #Ukraine as genocide.

Stalin deliberately starved around 5m Ukrainians in the 1930s.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Another 50 prisoners on both sides were exchanged today.

There were 2 officers among those returning to #Ukraine. 19 of the liberated were defenders of #Mariupol, 12 of them surrendered at #Azovstal.

Another 7 soldiers were captured on the now famous Zmiiny or "Snake" Island.
Another collaborator is said to be seriously injured in #Zaporizhzhia region after #Ukraine's Resistance bombed his car.

Before the war Serhiy Kalashnyk was head of #Polohy council, then switched sides and RIA Melitopol reports that last night he paid the price.

#StopRussia
After banning "one love" armbands, #FIFA today permitted an African footballer to wear the flag of banned #Russia on his boots.

#Cameroon's Gael Ondua moved to Russia aged 9 and previously played for Anzhi Makhachkala. He said he "feels like a Cameroonian and a Russian"
I want to wish all my followers in the USA, and exiled Americans, a Happy Thanksgiving and say bon appétit for your big meal this evening.🇬🇧💙🇺🇸💛🇺🇦
4 people killed in #Kherson as #Russia shelled it once again this evening.

Another 10 have been injured in the recently liberated city.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
Some more photos from #Kherson, taken shortly after #Russia's missiles slammed into a residential building in the city a little earlier.

Four people died.
Now 7 people have been killed by #Russia's shelling of #Kherson with a further 21 suffering injuries.

The attacks continue...

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Also explosions tonight in #NovaKakhovka on the left bank of the #Dnipro.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

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.

Good morning on Day 1310 of the full-scale war in Ukraine. But let's not forget Russia first invaded 11.5 years ago and the free world was too timid to defend a democracy from a tyrant, which led us to this position now after far too many wasted lives (and $)

Here's my daily🧵
Wednesday was another busy-busy day.
Too much to detail, just make sure you are up to date, but clicking and scrolling here, but remember to come back.

Russia has managed to attack railway infrastructure and some power targets overnight.

The latest is in Kirovohrad region, where 3 villages are without power after drone strikes. The city of Oleksandriya in the east of the region was heavily attacked.
There were no casualties.

Day 1305 began with a huge attack on Ukraine.

It's taken an incredible effort to maintain Ukraine's independence this long, but we still need to keep pressure up and keep aid flowing.

It's a marathon effort to research & post the news, please support🙏

Friday's thread had the first half of Russia's attack - before that we saw Ukraine's partners tightening sanctions, and Putin sending planes in to NATO territory to lead to another Article 4 discussion.

Loads more news too, catch up here if you missed it
First, the size of the morning attack on Ukraine..

Air defence did well, knocking out 583 projectiles, but that still left 36 hits in 10 places.

Ukraine stopped:
2/8 ballistics
29/32 cruise
552/579 drones (95% success)

Good morning and I hope you are all well.

Yes, I'm back again for another daily thread, with all the important news from Ukraine and Russia in one handy thread, every single day.

DMs open for your tip-offs; please help to keep Ukraine in the news, share, re-post, reply etc.
So, Day 1303 gets underway, but first the link back to 1302 and Wednesday's news feed.

A lot of stuff covered, but forgive me for my favourite moment being the British King lecturing a wannabe king about support for Ukraine.

Only a 65% success rate for Ukraine's air defence last night.

75 drones were launched by Russia, initially at eastern areas, then attacking Kyiv later in the night.
One UAV is still flying, of the others, Ukraine brought down 48.

Hits occurred in 6 places according to Ukraine. Image
