Here is the daily thread for Day 281, with #Russia now 9 months behind schedule in its plan to conquer #Ukraine & kill the democratically elected President.

Thursday's already started violently. News on the latest attack on Ukraine and all the developments in one handy thread⬇️
If you missed anything from yesterday, including evening explosions in occupied #Donetsk, here's the start of Wednesday's thread - scroll through at your leisure!

A big explosion rocked #Kherson in the early hours this morning.

A multi storey apartment block's been hit. A witness reported 6 explosions. Emergency services are still searching for possible victims.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWithUkraine
I must apologise for not being able to send individual thank yous to our top contributors to our #Ukraine fundraiser

As you know the goods were received by the troops (see photos) on the frontline in the east. They're busy and using power sparingly, but I'm trying to nudge them!
Personal news: I'm heading to #Ukraine next week. It takes more planning & is way more expensive than it used to be!

I need extra power banks + a solar panel for charging, costing £100. I'll donate it when I leave Ukraine. If you want to make a donation:

The US Ministry of Defense has concluded a deal to manufacture NASAMS for #Ukraine.

The $1.2m deal went to @RaytheonTech with the official announcement listed first on this link:

A #Ukraine state TV channel reports that #Russia's invaders ATE animals at a zoo under Occupation.

They claim soldiers from the Terrorist State entered Yampil zoo, killing and devouring bison, deer and ostriches. The troops also starved a camel and wolves.

#StopRussia
Here's the UK Intel word for Thursday:

Seems #Ukraine is lucky #Russia didn't hit the power grid in the first month of the war.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StandWIthUkraine
Today's daily losses settle in to the recent trend.

#Russia seeing another 560 of its soldiers killed if #Ukraine's figures are accurate.
All other categories below the mean for the whole war.

We will hit 90,000 dead tomorrow or Saturday
#Ukraine's Command says it's hit 2 of #Russia's warehouses and 3 military bases in the last three days.

They issued this graphic showing the spread of the strikes
The expected full eruption of #Russia's #Shiveluch volcano in #Kamchatka hasn't happened yet.

But these guys reckon an accompanying earthquake today or tomorrow is almost certain, and could cause a Tsunami for #Japan

In #Melitopol the #Ukraine Resistance movement has stepped up its work.

Posters from Partisans in the town are now becoming more threatening to #Russia's Occupiers.

#SlavaUkraini #MelitopolIsUkraine
#Ukraine's Intelligence and Security Services show materials they found during the raid on the monastery of the Moscow Patriarch in Transcarpathia in west Ukraine.

Priests there called for the "awakening of Mother #Russia" and saw literature denying Ukraine's right to exist.
My heartfelt thanks to @Tango9_Ali and Naren for their donations to help me in #Ukraine next week.

Developments in #Belarus - with the obvious fear that the country is about to invade #Ukraine.

It's known that a band of #Russia's top generals and an a mystery VIP have all flown to Belarus,
But Ukraine believes it's just a ruse to divert weapons north

#Ukraine reports another "friendly fire" massacre among #Russia's recruits.

Kyiv's Intel says 14 newly mobilised soldiers died a week ago when a shell hit their tent in Tsukury in #Kherson region.

This cannot be verified

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
All of #Ukraine is under an air warning yet again.

It probably means #Russia's planes are active.
We hope it's not the feared missile attack from the Terrorist State's bombers at the Engels Air Base near Saratov.

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
This is a "rocket cemetery" in #Kharkiv region.

Drone footage shows thousands of #Russia's missiles after being fired on #Ukraine, including cluster bombs.

They're being stored here to provide evidence of war crimes at a future tribunal.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
This video caused amusement among people in #Ukraine after the raccoon stolen by #Russia tried to bite the traitor "head" of occupied #Kherson

Saldo says he won't exchange the animal for monuments, which many hoped for "as we have all the monuments here, we moved Potyomkin."
Experts are warning #Russia is resorting to oversees terror operations and could target UK and other allies

It comes after a 2nd explosive package in #Spain in 24 hrs. Y'day #Ukraine's ambassador, today a manufacturer of weapons for Ukraine was targeted

heraldo.es/noticias/arago…
50 more #Ukraine military have been freed from captivity in the latest prisoner exchange.

More defenders of #Mariupol and #Azovstal, including men who were prisoners in #Olenivka are among the freed.

#HeroiamSlava
#Ukraine confirms what social media reports suggested for a while - #Russia's army is leaving some villages on the banks of the river #Dnipro in #Kherson.

UA Defence says most of the Russian troops still in the area were recently mobilised; most better-trained have already left.

Of course there's more shelling of #Kherson again today, and it's continuing right now too.

This is the site of one of the arrivals.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia
In #Kamyshin in the #Volgograd region of #Russia, the Soviet Union started building a hospital over 3 decades ago.

It was never built.
@CarolynnePries1 spotted that today it was demolished.

Headline is a little misleading...

Joe Biden said that for talks with #Putin to take place, the Kremlin must at least show interest in ending the war.

However, in the near future, the #USA President does not plan to talk with #Russia's leader

Nothing to see here - just some of #Russia's occupiers caught on camera stealing geese from a Ukrainian house.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
We were surprised to see @BearGrylls turn up in #Kyiv and many asked "what's he doing there?"

Well the survival expert was invited to meet the President today. They went downtown to check out one of #Ukraine's new "invincibility points" for emergency heat/power during blackouts.
Thank you so much Dorothy and @jrodwyer for your very generous support on my Ko-Fi page this afternoon, ahead of my trip to #Ukraine.

And for their tip offs my appreciation to Ali, Andy and Carolynne.
Explosions this evening in the south of #Kharkiv region.

#Russia is attacking #Chuhuiv with rockets hitting the town.

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.

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.
