It's Day 276 of #Russia's full invasion of #Ukraine.
It's also Holodomor Memorial Day, commemorating those starved to death by Moscow's regime in the genocide of the 1930s.

This is the daily news thread with all the news, views and analysis on events around the illegal war...
Another fairly quiet night. Long range missile attacks by #Russia confined to outbursts every few days it seems, while artillery pounds the usual targets in southern and eastern #Ukraine

If you missed anything on Friday's news feed, scroll through here:

The #UK's daily update paints an increasingly desperate picture for #Russia.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
A sharp increase in the number of #Russia's soldiers killed in battle in the last 24 hours.
Recent days have seen between 350 and 450, but today another 560 estimated dead according to #Ukraine, but little equipment destroyed.

#StopRussia #RussiansGoHome
Despite the rocket attacks, despite cuts to power and water, the people of #Kherson region are still relishing their hard-fought freedom.

Each day now the train from #Kyiv rumbles into the city and invariably someone in one of the villages comes to show support for #Ukraine!
The areas where #Russia's been suffering most losses have been #Donetsk and, until, liberation of the right bank, #Kherson

But now the occupied part of #Zaporizhzhia is one big graveyard.

RU bases in both #Melitopol + #Vesele struck by #Ukraine with 180 injured, likely 100 dead
* WARNING * 18+ video

Temperatures below 0c in much of #Ukraine this morning, but power in #Kyiv restored after just 4-5 hours of heat & light in the previous 72 hours

Now imagine fighting in these conditions. Russians are often ill prepared and left to freeze. This nr #Bakhmut
This school in Occupied #Melitopol' was being repaired when war broke out; #Russia's goons stole building materials.

Now, with more newly mobilised Russians arriving they're turning the school into a barracks. To prevent attacks by resistance fences are erected, trees cut down
#Russia may kill #Belarus 'leader' Lukashenka and blame Ukraine.

That's a claim in this report citing "Russian military sources" with two objectives. Russia can take control of the Belarusian army and give the people a cast-iron reason to join the war.

#Ukraine by night. Startling photo taken from space by NASA.

The country's outline hardly needs marking, the lack of light during the power cuts does the job😥

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Ukraine's Resistance in #Enerhodar is active!

Rumours abound that #Russia is preparing to leave the town and more importantly, the nuclear reactor.

"Enerhodar is Ukraine" says one popular poster seen on the streets, while yellow ribbons and markings are also visible.
#Poland's Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki is in #Kyiv this morning.

He's already visited the #Holodomor memorial on #Maidan to pay tribute to the victim's of the genocide.

Poland has always been one of #Ukraine's strongest supporters.

#StandWithUkraine
1/3

In #Dnipro many victims reported as a missile hits a residential area.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
2/3

#Dnipro explosion

Not too much is known so far, but six people immediately known to be injured as #Russia's rocket hit a quiet area of the city.

#StopRussia
3/3

Another video from the scene in #Dnipro

#SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
It's now known that 3 missiles hit #Dnipro in today's attack by #Russia. Although no-one has died, one person is missing who was thought to be in a warehouse where rescuers are removing rubble.

13 people were injured, four hospitalised, two seriously injured.

#StopRussia
This is noteworthy after the story earlier about #Russia maybe planning to get rid of #Lukashenka

Today the Foreign Minister of #Belarus has "died suddenly"

Vladimir Makei was just 64. He was Head of Luka's illegitimate administration and FM since 2012.

I'm currently in #Germany and pleasantly surprised to see #Holodomor memorial day leading the @tagesschau news bulletin.

This week 6 more countries have recognised the man-made famine as genocide. Yet not the #UK - why is that @JamesCleverly and @RishiSunak?
Despite #Russia's best efforts to expel, kill or terrify the #Ukraine supporters in occupied #Crimea, there is still a Resistance movement, even in #Simferopol, the most Russified city.

Yellow ribbons are still found for a short while until authorities seize or paint over them.
This made me laugh! #Ukraine has not invaded #Russia...

But many locals in #Tver, 100 miles north-west of #Moscow, were in shock and frightened to see a column of military vehicles emblazoned with Ukraine flags

Sadly, they were just a filming.

A mother weeps uncontrollably as her new born baby is laid to rest after becoming another of #Russia's victims.

Little Serhiy died just two days after his birth when the Terrorist State bombed the maternity ward of the hospital in #Vilniansk near #Zaporizhzhia.

#StopRussia
Another heart breaking tale & war crimes in #Kherson region

26yo Serhiy's father stopped answering his calls on 10 Nov. After liberation he went to Lviv Otruby.

His dad and his adoptive mum were eventually found in shallow graves, on top of each other, shot at close range.

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.
