It's Thursday and it's Day 358 of #Russia's illegal war on its peaceful neighbour and another daily thread

Yet again the day started violently for many regions of #Ukraine with overnight missile attacks targeting critical civilian infrastructure, which is itself a war crime...
Apologies for the late start today, I've had meetings from first thing, which overran a little

First, here the link for yesterday's thread as I know a few of you like to read back in one go and others like to catch up with that they missed in the evening:
So to the overnight attack by #Russia with Cruise missiles and more.

#Ukraine says it shot down 16 out of 32 missiles. Twelve Kh-22 hypersonic missiles cannot be intercepted with current defences.

It's likely #Russia is using a high % of Kh-22 stocks before Patriot is in place
Missiles were fired by #Russia from long range bombers in the Caspian Sea and Kursk regions, from two Su-35 tactical aircraft in the occupied part of #Zaporizhzhia and from frigate ships in the Black Sea

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
There is a current nationwide air alert in #Ukraine with more enemy aircraft active. Earlier the Southern Command predicted a high possibility of another missile attack by #Russia.

Ukraine's energy company says there are no restrictions following the overnight strikes.
Most damage may have occurred in #Kremenchuk where it's likely the hydroelectric power plant was hit:

#Poltava #SaveUkraine #StopRussia
This video shows #Kirovohrad region, where there was also a huge strike on "critical infrastructure" - no further details confirmed.

#Pavlohrad in #Dnipropetrovsk region was also hit, with local industrial enterprises reportedly targeted.
This is from #Zaporizhzhia oblast. #Russia claims it hit an ammunition store. One can also see the use of thermite munitions by the Terrorist State.

Impossible to verify what was hit, no word from #Ukraine side so far.

#SaveUkraine #RussiaIsATerroristState
Here's a video from #Pavlohrad (RU: #Pavlograd) where one woman's now known to have died in the missile attack.

Officials in #Dnipropetrovsk region say 7 private houses were destroyed, 50 others damaged.
were hit. 8 other residents were injured, 2 remain hospitalised.
In #Lviv, invaders also hit one "critical infrastructure" facility in region

This was confirmed by the head of the Lviv OVA Maksym Kozytskyi. But he said it was not an energy facility & there were no victims.
"A fire broke out at the place of impact, but it's been extinguished."
Another murder by #Russia today occurred in #Kherson.

A 70-year-old woman was killed in the street as she went about her daily business, shopping.

The nearby store had all the glass blown out
⚡️GRAPHIC VIDEO⚡️
No photos but locals say another attack on civilians in #Kherson region has killed a couple.

The man and woman died when #Russia directly hit their home with a shall in #Zmiivka village near #Beryslav at dawn.

With nothing significant in the village this is targeting civilians.
Meanwhile diplomatic efforts + visits continue. Two important Foreign Ministers in #Kyiv today

#Canada's Melanie Jolie has already pledged more financial support, says they may join an aviation coalition.

Also Eli Cohen, #Israel's first high ranking official to visit during war
As expected, #Russia's losses passed 140,000 today. 690 more dead in the last 24 hours.

That's equivalent to every single man in a city of 400,000 being wiped out. Think about that.
Sacrificed for zero reason, purely for a warlord.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Nothing to see here. Just another offical in #Putin's regime falling through a window.

58 year old Marina Yankina was Head of a finance department of the Western Military District when she had her fatal "accident" in St. Petersburg.

thesun.co.uk/news/21365494/…
Yesterday #Lufthansa denied it was attacked by #Russia's hackers when all flights were grounded. They claimed a cable had been accidentially cut through. Russian group KILLNET said it was them

Well now hackers are hitting all #Germany's airport websites.

Remarkable. In the Siberian city of #Tomsk they're forcing students to partake in the delivering of subpoenas for mobilisation.

The local TV channel published these documents with the Rector of the Pedagogical University in the city using his students for the dirty work.
Interesting in #Crimea.

This was reportedly seen in #Armeniansk.

Some #Ukraine sites say this was posted by the Crimean Air Force, before they suddenly deleted it.
Another prisoner exchange has occurred between the sides.

#Ukraine was able to return 100 military personnel and one civilian.

94 were defenders of #Mariupol (63 from Azovstal)
Many of those freed received injuries of varying degrees of severity.

#StandWithUkraine #SaveUkraine
#Russia claims it hit a #Ukraine boat in the river Dnipro near #Kherson.

The invaders claim the craft was trying to land on an island in the river. But the footage is so bizarre I'm surprised they released it; certainly not convincing proof of anything.

#RussiansGoHome
Western + Russian media alike wrote a lot of nonsense about #Moldova's govt falling recently.
With a big pro-western majority, it was always going to be another Euro-aligned administration and so it's proved.
Dorin Rechan is the new PM. Only 4 fresh faces in the 17-person cabinet
#Slovakia is the latest country to denounce #Russia as a Terrorist State.

The Parliament in Bratislava recognised Putin's regime as terrorist, and the Russian Federation as a state sponsor of terrorism.

Slovakia also showed support for a war crimes tribunal.
Hollywood A-lister @LeoDiCaprio has once again supported #Ukraine.

Leo has received a personal thank you on the Facebook page of the First Lady of Ukraine's Foundation.

#StandWithUkraine
Found out who the one civilian freed from Russian captivity today is.

It's Ivan Samoidiuk, Deputy Mayor of #Energodar.
He was kidnapped 11 months ago on 19 March 2022 when #Russia occupied the town and the nuclear reactor.

Things you don't want to find on your car in occupied #Melitopol'

It says "Collaborator?" while the emojis speak for themselves.

#Ukraine's Resistance remains in full swing.
#RussiansGoHome

In #Bakhmut not much change. #Russia's frontline is getting closer. #Ukraine could fall back from the town at any moment but no sign of them needing to do so yet.

Meanwhile more footage of the town council building damaged last week, and new shots from inside the structure.
Meanwhile also in #Bakhmut, @CNN has obtained the best footage so far of the murder of Pete Reed while helping volunteers and medics in #Ukraine.

The American vet was killed in this strike. #Wagner chief Prigozhin says "I can say with confidence Reed was killed by his own side."
A clever one person protest in #Kazan today.

The sign says NET VO**E - almost universally understood as "No to War", but you can get jailed for 10 years for this.

So the young person says "alcohol can harm your health" - NET VO***E could be "NET VODKE"
Brazenly, the woman appointed #Russia's Commissioner for Children's Rights, admitts on camera she stold a child from #Mariupol.

Maria Lvova-Belova was proud to thank the Tsar after "adopting" a 15 year old, who likely lived a happy, peaceful life until 24 February.
#WarCrime
The leader of the Opposition in #UK, @Keir_Starmer visited #Kyiv for the first time today. His visit came the day after he banned Russia-sympathist Jeremy Corbyn from standing at the next election.

#Russia has launched seven missiles on #Kharkiv.

Here Russians filmed the launch of one of the destructive weapons from #Belgorod region.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Big bang in #Kharkiv after the launch of multiple missiles from #Russia.

Let's hoping this is air defence taking out one of them.
#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Also today an unexplained explosion in Occupied #Enerhodar.

#Ukraine thinks a weapons or ammo dump was hit. I'm not convinced by this as I've not seen reports of multiple explosions, but could be.

#SaveUkraine #StopRussia
Fragments of #Russia's rockets were found in #Kharkiv.

No reports of any damage yet. Some Russians reporting their own air defence may have hit their own missile - perhaps one malfunctioned?
Whenever I see John Simpson back in #Ukraine, I'm reminded of his odious article a few years back where he clearly showed his contempt for the country. I'm surprised @ZelenskyyUa and @AndriyYermak don't demand another interviewer.

khpg.org/en/1444067269
No real clarification from #Kharkiv.
It is known S-300s were again fired at the city.

The local governor says "infrastructural objects are once again under the sights of the occupiers."

It's known the Osnovianskyi district, just south of the centre was under heaviest attack.
There's a huge column of Russian trucks moving in the occupied south of #Ukraine.

The former Mayoral adviser to #Mariupol posted these photos. He claims almost the whole 80km between Mariupol and #Berdyansk is solid with these KAMAZ military lorries.
Eplosions reported again in #Druzhkivka in #Donetsk oblast.

No further details yet.
A lot of activity across #Kherson region too.

Shelling in the Tavricheskyi district of Kherson city and also towards #Antonivka.

Meanwhile heavy strikes reported on occupied #Chaplynka and #Kakhovka.

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.

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
