This is the start of Friday's daily thread covering all events related to #Russia and #Ukraine in the prolonged illegal war.

Day 345 - just three weeks until the anniversary of Putin's crazy and hellishly costly decision.

Updated in real time, keep checking back during the day
To support my work you can send tip offs in DMs, words of encouragement or buy me a coffee (see link in bio) - all are appreciated.

These threads take around 12 hrs a day to compile, collating, translating, verifying, editing etc.

Catch up on Thurs here:
#Russia's losses in the last 24 hours (estimated by Kyiv) show very little equipment destroyed but still insane amounts of conscripts and mobilised soldiers killed.

840 in a single day dying for the new Fuhrer.

#RussiansGoHome
British Intel today comes up with some good numbers of #Russia's prisons and Wagner recruitment.

This concurs with what I wrote yesterday, that Prigozhin's mob is running quite low on numbers, but the regular army is not of course.
The White House has flatly denied this story which broke last night.

German "sources" told Swiss media that CIA Director Burns tried to get #Russia and #Ukraine to agree a peace deal...

An explosion in #Enerhodar this morning which looks to have killed one person.

The victim was likely the driver of a waste truck, which may have been hit by an IED.
#Ukraine channels reckon it's a false flag operation by #Russia's Occupiers.
Overnight shelling in #Kherson hit the popular Epicentre supermarket.

Just another civilian target from the Terrorist State.

Thankfully no deaths or injuries.
#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
The exiled Mayor of #Melitopol has told #Ukraine's war 'news marathon' TV programme that "all hospitals are full in all of #Zaporizhzhia region and that the invaders had to start using sports centres.

Yesterday alone 8 more KAMAZ trucks full of injured soldiers were brought in.
#Germany's government has approved the supply of 88 Leopard-1 tanks to #Ukraine.

However they may not be much use. They cannot supply enough ammunition. The shells are a different calibre to Leopard-2s and no longer manufactured.

Anna Netrebko is a Russian opera singer who has publicly supported the war and invasion of #Ukraine for many years.

It seems some in #Italy are unaware or don't care or just want to profit from her despite her being sanctioned.

Something else strange in #Russia.

Why are they putting camoflouge nets around air defence systems on rooves?

As you can tell, it's a quiet news day in #Ukraine and Russia!
Other ways to express your displeasure with some of #Italy's cities permitting a war criminal supporter holding concerts in the EU soon.

#Netrebko #RussianWarCrimes #Russia

Imagine being in #Bakhmut right now.
Such small pleasures being such joy.

It's wonderful to see the embattled locals being able to enjoy clean running water (sort of), wash clothes, take a hot shower and even get a haircut.
#SlavaUkraini #BakhmutHolds
1/2
This morning I reported on an explosion in #Enerhodar with a man killed.

It's now confirmed an improvised explosive device was used and local #Ukraine patriots have claimed responsibility for the death of 'collaborator' Yevgeniy Kuzmin.

2/2

This spokesman of #Ukriane's resistance claims 'Traitor' Kuzmin was a former policeman who switched to helping #Russia's invaders.

"The Partisans of #Enerhodar continue to fight invaders... Each of you will be found and liquidated."

Impossible to verify where it was filmed
Main statements from today's #EU-#Ukraine summit:

Kremlin won't intimidate us, Ukraine will be a member of EU

For 1st time Ukraine records intention to join EU

EU to provide Ukraine first €1bn to rebuild after war

EU prepares 10th sanctions package (€10bn) against #Russia
Warning!
Graphic Photos from #Kherson after Russia's shelling today.

#StopRussia #StandWithUkraine
Across the city of #Kherson a shell flew through the wall of a private apartment.
No deaths reported.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Remember the offer to seel "Reaper" drones to #Ukraine for $1?

Well, one of #Ukraine's giant Antonov cargo planes landed at the Creech air force base today.

Just saying that the Reapers are based at Creech, you can read more about them here:

Earlier Washington confirmed that #Ukraine's latest military "shopping list" has been taken care of!

Sadly F-16s were unavailable, but everything else is supplied. The precision-guided rockets highlighted are GLSDB offering Ukraine even longer range firepower.

#StopRussia
Nice photo from earlier today in #Kyiv.
During a break from the official business of the EU summit, President @ZelenskyyUa and President of the European Council, @CharlesMichel share a moment. Or is it @Denys_Shmyhal? They look identical😅
Canada has imposed sanctions on 16 businesses and 38 individuals, almost all involved in spreading propaganda and disinformation.

Journalists, actors and singers are among the people targeted.
#Turkey's exporting vital electronics components and machinery to #Russia despite sanctions.

The @WSJ concludes "at least 13 Turkish firms exported a total of at least $18.5 million worth of items" including at least three shipments of goods from the USA

#StopRussia
I've only just learned of the death of another foreign humanitarian volunteer having been killed near #Bakhmut.

Pete Reed, an American medic, was evacuating civilians when a shell reportedly hit his ambulance yesterday.

His wife and mother asked for privacy.
RIP💙💛

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.
