A thermal power plant in #Russia is on fire.

The blaze broke out this morning at the building in #Perm'

#RussiaOnFire

Smoke can be seen across the city of #Perm'

500 people have been evacuated from the power plant. Authorities are worried the fire will spread to other buildings. All the city's firefighters are attending.
And another chapter of #RussiaOnFire

This morning a huge blaze consumed the "Vzletka Plaza" mall in #Krasnoyarsk.

The blaze at the shopping centre is reported to have started at the front of the mall and then spread to the roof. No casualties reported.
President Zelenskyy's spokesman responded to @vonderleyen's statement that over 100,000 #Ukraine soldiers have been killed in the war.

Serhiy Nikiforov says he doesn't know where she got the figure and only data from Ukraine's leaders can be trusted.

#RussiaOnFire AGAIN!

#Ukraine attack in #Bryansk?
Local officials report "an unidentified munition, dropped from a drone" hit a tank of diesel in the Surazh district. The explosion lit two more fuel tanks

#StopRussia
Amusingly, #China's state TV channel CGTV referred to the "#Bryansk People's Republic" in its' report on the fire!

Does Beijing know something we don't? Are they supporting an independence referendum?

The Tweet has since been deleted
Survival specialist @BearGrylls may find his new mission among his toughest!

He's just arrived in #Ukraine in sub zero temperatures and frequent power outages! Locals are joking they can teach him a thing or two on survival!

In #Kherson, another school was shelled today.
This will continue every day until #Russia is forced out of artillery range, i.e. out of all of Kherson.

#StandWithUkraine
#Ukraine partizans in occupied #Zaporizhzhia say another collaborator has been killed.

Recent artillery strikes in Tokmak are said to have accounted for the so-called head of the Internal Affairs Department in the town, Alexey Koshel.
President @ZelenskyyUa takes a swipe at Elon Musk's ill-informed statements.

Zelenskyy says Twitter's owner is invited to see the damage done to #Ukraine by #Russia's forces so "he can understand the situation before making pronouncements about it."

#Germany's Bundestag has recognised #Holodomor as genocide of the the people of #Ukraine.
A lot of discussion today about how many of #Ukraine's troops have died in this war.
Ursula @vonderleyen was chided earlier for saying it was over 100,000 which the EU later said meant killed and injured.

Now Presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych says just over 10k have died.
A fair bit of shelling in Occupied #Donetsk this evening.

It's reported the shopping centre "Donetsk City" was damaged as missiles landed in the Kyivskyi district in the centre.

Here's the moment of the arrival

#DonetskIsUkraine #StopRussia
More photos from the scene of the big blast in central #Donetsk this evening.

No word yet on casualties from the Occupying authorities.

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.
