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

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.

Whoever said 7 days is a long time in politics was dead right.

An about turn from tough guy & threats to TACO queen & Putin's poodle. And the next 7 days is now set to bring another cosy meet between a felon and an indicted war criminal.

It's Day 1263 of THE Ukraine thread:
A later start to Saturday's thread because of a crazily late finish to the last🧵

Fewer than 20,000 views for the first time in weeks on such an important day🤨🤔

So much effort and so little impact some days 😢

President Zelenskyy's damning response to the TrumPutin plan came early in social media posts - the full subtitled video is next in my🧵

As I said last night when Trump announced details, Putin got EVERYTHING he wanted (again) & gave up nothing, not even secondary tariffsImage

Day 1261 - the White House thinks the war in Ukraine is coming to an end.

Especially as the Kremlin has this morning announced Putin and Trump will meet in the coming days.
But is the war criminal just duping the US Pres again and buying more time?

Follow me & today's thread:
Much of Wednesday was taken up with the politics surrounding US envoy Wirkoff's latest chummy chat with Putin.

But then it turned dark, literally as the sun went down, but Ukraine looks to have had the better of the drone exchanges.
Catch up here:

I think we should start with the latest from Moscow on the first of the meetings which most hope will end the war, but few realists believe.

The venue has been arranged - this is from one of Russia's state news agencies. Image

Sunday 3 August 2025. It's Day 1257.
T-7 days til Trump's self-imposed deadline for Russia expires.

But Putin's horde continue to hit civilian targets.
However Ukraine has been hitting military targets in greater number overnight.

Here's THE daily🧵. All the news All the time
Well Saturday proved to be a very newsworthy day with many attacks on both sides.

Here's the link to the start of Saturday's feed, click and scroll if you missed anything.

The big story since the last couple of hours of y'day's thread has been Ukraine's multiple successes in breaching Russia's air defence at military targets.

The Kremlin says it destroyed 93 drones, 60 over the Black Sea. There's no mention of how many they missed!
Exhibit A:

It's Day 1266 of Russia's full invasion.

Even the most ardent peaceniks are realising one side doesn't want to stop fighting. At least until, as a state new agency said recently, all Ukrainians are killed.

Each + every day you'll find all the news here in one handy🧵
Let's go!
If you missed anything of yesterday's developments, well not as much to catch up on.

Click the link to review, things only really started going late at night..

Trying to compile threads on a train, using mobile only so far, is a nightmare. My first typo was rather important. It's Day 1256, so the observant don't need to message me 😊

Family day out today, going to see "Evita"
But always a thread and as up to date as I can be.
