#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

Hello on Day 1298 of Russia's full invasion of its sovereign neighbour. So, only 1295 days late in fulfilling the boast of taking Kyiv in 3 days. #EATP for Putin.

I've compiled a🧵every single day without fail.
You can help my work with a boost, comment, re-post or a coffee🙏
Friday saw more important visitors arrive in Kyiv (and another familiar place is in Ukraine today).

There was more solidarity and practical support, while Russia suffered more oil woes.

If you missed anything, click and scroll here:

I'll start in Odesa, because that's where the familiar face has turned up.

He was planning to return to Ukraine a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't make it, but now Boris is back.
Loved by nearly all Ukrainians, his early arrival (with Lord Ashcroft) meant he avoids the crowds. Image

Hello once again on Friday 12 September 2025.

Day 1297 of Russia's imperialist war, but the senior bully keeps being given a bloody nose by the junior school kid next door. How embarrassing for the "world's second greatest army" and more 'punches' thrown by Ukraine overnight..
There was so much in yesterday's thread.

Russia hitting churches, Ukraine striking a boat.
The US helping Belarus, which helps🇷🇺 & Trump questioning if the drone attack on Poland was a mistake.
Thursday ended with a Ukraine drone surge into Russia:
It was busy at Kyiv's main railway station this morning with two VIP arrivals making unannounced visits.

Prince Harry accepted a request to return to Ukraine saying "we have to keep (the war) at the forefront of people's minds."

Poland's FM @sikorskiradek hopped off soon after Image

Day 1296 of Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine, welcome to THE daily thread for Thursday 11 Sept.

My thoughts today are with all Americans on the 24th anniversary of a sickening terrorist attack, born of hatred.

It seems we learned little. A cycle of violence has to end.
Some may accuse me of hypocrisy, and that's fine, it's their right in a free world.

My strongest criticism is reserved for leaders who spread lies, try to brainwash and use people instead of helping them.

I don't hate all Russians, though I detest what the country has become.
If ever the U.S. and the free world needed to be unified, it is now, just like we were 24 year ago.

Russia is an existential threat to Ukraine even existing, but also to the way of life of all of us.

Yesterday was momentous, read the thread:

Here we go then, another day in Russia's imperial war on Ukraine

Too many "allies" of Ukraine lacked vision, understanding or balls, or all three and merely tried to stop the punching, while the US now rather sadistically aids the killing while shouting "peace"

It's Monday's🧵
Day 1293 has started quietly, but with politicians back in offices, there may be developments later.

Sunday was a day of violence, recrimination and clearing up after the worst single night's attack in world history, in terms of projectiles.
Review here:
No big developments to report on the ground in Ukraine yet, so let me brief you on two political stories to watch for this afternoon.

The French govt is likely to collapse, meaning a new PM will need to be appointed. Macron may choose very pro-Ukraine Defence Min @SebLecornu Image

Day 1292 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and Sunday begins with Russia again hitting civilians across the country in another massive attack on a sleeping population.

It's gone 5am in🇺🇦, no-one's able to sleep yet, and I'm starting another daily thread before going to bed...
Saturday exploded into life, and death, at night as Russia began what proved to be an enormous launch of drones, then missiles, at various cities across Ukraine.

Review all yesterday's news here:

The scene in Kyiv this morning.
Just before dawn, the skyline is filled with smoke after more terrorist strikes by Russia.

Terrorism and nukes are all Putin has left.
TACO Trump is the weakest US President ever, yet again failing to honour his deadline, refusing to stop Putin.

Another weekend in Europe's war. It's the 184th weekend of Russia trying to bomb Ukraine out of existence.

But as we start Day 1291, Ukraine is battered but free, Russia is economically crippled and not winning.

Every day I produce THE daily thread, please support if you can.
Follower numbers continue to go up, but views continue to go down. X-itter working against pro-Ukraine accounts say many of my followers

So if you're one who found me today but missed yesterday, click here to find out about a lot of good news for Ukraine
It was a relatively quiet night again in Ukraine but already air warnings in the country this morning.

Right now, part of Kyiv region has been put on alert for attack drones, along with Chernihiv and Sumy and front-line areas. Image
