Sunday's #RussiaUkraine news thread begins here on Day 298 of the war.

Welcome along and Happy Hanukkah if you celebrate this evening.
Incidentally, the New York Times quotes Putiin calling #Ukraine's Jewish leader #Zelenskyy as "an assistant to Nazism"🍲🫖⚫️(no kettle emoji😂)
It's nice to report another fairly quiet start to Day 298 in #Ukraine.

There's a touch of Star Wars about the war from today...

Actor @MarkHamill, a strong supporter of #Ukraine, has become the voice of the English language Air Alert app.

"Luke Skywalker" adds some iconic Star Wars quotes along with news on possible threats.
#SaveUkraine
Looks like we are just 4 days away from the 100,000th regular Russian troop being killed in action in #Ukraine.

Another bumper "crop" of almost 600 in the last 24 hours for the nation defending its' sovereignty. #Russia continues to suffer regular hits on its military bases. Image
I wrote about a touch of Star Wars in #Ukraine... but it's more like "It Ain't Half Hot Mum" for #Russia, reading today's update from British Intel.

Desperate to revive flagging morale with circus performers, singers and musical instruments.
They know the Funeral March? Image
This time next week much of the world will be celebrating Christmas.

I'm retweeting this in case you missed the farce, probably highly insulting to many.

#Russia plans to effectively lock up the entire population in Occupied #Zaporizhzhia.

#Ukraine's General Staff says an extraordinary 24-hour curfew will be introduced

Meanwhile 24 settlements in free ZP and #Kherson were shelled in the last 24 hours.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Much has been made in Russian media of an interview with ex-senator of Virginia, Richard Black.

The discredited pro-#Russia mouthpiece claims "Russia is winning in #Bakhmut, Ukraine is losing"

#BakhmutHolds after 19 weeks and #Ukraine's army publishes these photos from the town ImageImageImageImage
The once magnificent Donbas Arena in #Donetsk has been shelled again.

Formerly home to @FCShakhtar, ten years ago it staged the semi final of #Euro2012

Family and friends of Simon "Grimmy" Lingard, from Great Harwood in Lancashire, this weekend said their final goodbyes.

Simon was not only a brave volunteer soldier but also a fundraiser for #Ukraine

#RussiaOnFire

The #Irkutsk region has seen a few "smoking related" accidents lately.

This evening a powerful explosion at the #Markovskoe oil and gas field.

The fire covered an area of ​​about 1,000 square metres.

#StopRussia Image
#Russia claims #Ukraine shelled a hospital in #Donetsk today.

Puppet leader Denis Pushilin says a man died at the Kalinin hospital.

There is no proof who fired the shells.
This video is said to be #Ukraine forces hitting #Russian targets on the Kinburn spit.

The battle for the thin strip of land south of #Mykolaiv continues.

Unverified - virtually no news has come from Kinburn with both sides reporting almost the exact opposite.
#RussiaOnFire

A village in #Belgorod region, bordering #Ukraine, is without power tonight.

A local substation caught fire in the village of #KrasnayaYaruga.
Some locals mention an explosion before the fire, but not all.

#StopRussia
Looks like a couple of Russian Father Christmases did their best to fulfill Ukrainian seasonal wishes by trying to throw themselves under passing cars.
🤦

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.
