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

#DonetskIsUkraine #RussiansGoHome ImageImageImageImage
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.
🤦

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.

1/2
 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.

"White rabbits" is what I have to say to you this morning.

An old British custom is to say 'rabbits' or 'white rabbits' (often 3 times) at the start of a new month to ensure good luck for the month ahead

August is the 43rd month of Russia's war.
Today is Day 1255. Here's the🧵
Yesterday was a depressing day.
Not just Russia's horrific attacks on Kyiv, but the general lack of response and condemnation. The world just shrugs its shoulders.

We are better than this.

Review what you missed yesterday here:

2 weeks ago I said things could move quickly on air defence. One system had reportedly already been delivered to Ukraine

Remember Switzerland's order was bumped down to give priority to🇺🇦?
Now Germany says 2 more Patriots will be sent by October, starting with launchers in days

Day 1254. Eight more til Trump Sanctions Day.

Putin's response was to bomb the cr*p out of Ukraine's capital again overnight.

It's decency against inhumanity. Which side are you on?

Welcome to THE daily thread.
Wednesday was a fairly quiet day, punctuated by the odd Russian missile attack, before another enormous attack centre on Kyiv.. and it's still going on.

But Ukraine hit back in Russia.
Missed anything? Click and scroll, but please come back!

Five missiles are over Kyiv right now.
I hope everyone's safely in shelters.

Tuesday 29 July. Day 1252.
Documenting all the important stories and developments in Ukraine's ongoing fight for survival against an invading horde.

Every Single Day. No break, no days off.
All the news from the war in Europe, all the time.
Monday was probably a better day for Ukraine.
We saw Trump appear to lose patience with indicted war criminal Putin, we saw a Ukraine flag replanted in one reclaimed village & late in the thread more strikes on Russia's rail infrastructure.

Catch up here
I'll begin in Rostov region, where earlier Ukraine hit railway infrastructure in the town of Salsk.

Pretty much the whole of the rail network in Rostov oblast is crucial to Russia's military. The proximity to occupied parts of Ukraine & the route to Crimea run through here. Image
