Another weekend; we've reach Day 360 of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.

The daily threads keep coming to ensure you're up to date with all the important news. Already today #Ukraine has been attacked by Cruise missile attack

Details coming up on this, huge 🇷🇺deaths + #RussiaOnFire
First a link to yesterday's thread in case you missed anything, including important news from #Bakhmut at the end of Friday.

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Shortly before dawn, #Russia fired 4 Kalibr cruise missiles from its Black Sea fleet.

#Ukraine says two were shot down.

However, #Khmelnytskyi has been hit.
Two people have been wounded.

#UkraineUnderAttack
No photos yet from #Khmelnytskyi in west #Ukraine, which has been hit with with cruise missile(s) this morning.

The Mayor Oleksandr Simchishin confirms 2 injured and say 10 apartment blocks and 3 educational institutions have been damaged.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #SaveUkraine
First photo from the city in western #Ukraine of the destruction wrought by a cruise missile on a Saturday morning.

A reminder two injured in the blast.

.. And a video of the damage caused to one of the multi-storey apartment blocks in central #Khmelnytskyi this morning.

#Russia fired four Cruise missiles at #Ukraine shortly before dawn.

#RussiaIsATerroristState #StopRussia #UkraineUnderAttack #SaveUkraine
Another huge total of #Russia's army killed in the last 24 hours according to #Ukraine's official figures.

Think it's the thitd 1000+ day.
Meanwhile the number of tanks desstroyed reaches 3,300.

#RussiaOnFire

In the early hours of this morning someone seems to have been smoking on the job in the city of #Ufa.

This is the Krezol chemicals factory. How sad.
Worryingly, #Russia's war bloggers have stepped up another regular false narrative around the use of chemical weapons. They did the same in #Syria, then gassed the rebels.

The latest is this "discovery" of "unknown" toxic substances fired by #Ukraine in #Vuhledar (RU: #Ugledar) ImageImageImage
Despite the fact #Russia is commiting war crimes, starting wars and is an international pariah, two Brazilian footballers have applied for Russian passports.

Zenit midfielders Malcolm + Claudinho have made no public comment yet.

#Ukraine's Nuclear Energy agency says #Russia committed "an act of nuclear terrorism" today.

Energoatom says two enemy cruise missiles flew over the South Ukrainian nuclear power plant, dangerously close to the nuclear facility and a worldwide "nuclear catastrophe"

#StopRussia Image
Another fun tale of #Russia's mobilised.

Can't really feel any sympathy for these guys who claim they were trained in artillery, then sent to #Donetsk and told they'd be infantry.

Oh, and now they are effectively blackmailed each day to avoid being sent to the front.
Today marks 8 years since the #Debaltseve massacre.

136 of #Ukraine's soldiers were killed after holding out for weeks in the #Donetsk town, against four-times greater forces, and eventually being surrounded.

And Nine year ago today #Ukraine's then President gave the order to open fire on protesters from the peaceful Maidan camp.

I was there. One morning I woke to bodies lined up outside my apartment in central Kyiv.

Two days later #Russia invaded #Crimea.

Officials in #Khmelnytskyi admit #Russia's 2nd missile hit a "military facility" in the city

Regional Head, Serhiy Hamaly confirmed the news while also giving an update on civilian victims, a man and a woman, both stable in hospital. The man was in a minibus when hit by shrapnel Image
This is said to be proof of #Ukraine destroying a new type of Russian "Grad" for the 1st time.

In the occupied part of #Zaporizhzhia, US high-precision M982 Excalibur took out the "Grad" 2B26, a modernised version of the 2B5 combat vehicle, tranferred from Ural to KamAZ chassis. ImageImage

As I mentioned earlier, it's 9 years since the start of the massacre on #Maidan. I was among the protesters in #Kyiv that night and the subsequent days as the President of #Ukraine, forced by #Putin to back down on his promise to join Europe, ordered the killing of civilians. ImageImage
2/2
My photos from 18/2/04, clockwise:
1 The #Maidan Revolution HQ had been reclaimed by the govt.
2 We brought ladders, anthing which would burn - smoke stopped the snipers
3 Govt thugs firebombed a medical centre
4 New roadblocks set up by protesters ImageImageImageImage
Don't be misled by this.
#UK is NOT giving fighter jets, really we can't.
But the strong message of support may help other nations which do have jets.

With aerial support #Ukraine can better protect tanks and defend the skies

Welcome to November, which becomes the 46th different month to see fighting in Ukraine

And yet Russia is nowhere near its aim of Kyiv in 3 days.
Indeed 1,344 days behind schedule as we start today's thread on Day 1347 of the full invasion

Please think about sending a KoFi💙💛
Friday saw a lot of damage in Russia, an attempted counter-attack in Pokrovsk, Trump blank Orbán, power cuts in Moscow and so much more.

Clicking here⬇️will take you to the start of yesterday's🧵. Scroll through, catch-up then remember to come back here
Ukraine claims to have damaged a key Russian oil pipeline at Ramenskoe in Moscow region.

Their video shows all 3 (gasoline, diesel, aviation) fuel lines of the 400km Koltsevoy pipeline blown up.

The first pic shows guards patrolling, the second shows the explosives attached..

Hello again, on Day 1346 of the war.
Russia's genocidal war, that's both the intent and the reality as Ukraine fights to keep not only democracy, independence and freedom but also to avoid its culture and language being eradicated.

This is THE daily thread. Happy Hallowe'en
Due to various different events, I am still awake & instead of adding to y'day's thread, I thought it best to start a new one, then get some sleep.

First, the link for Thursday's🧵which started with Russia's mass missile attack but ended with🇺🇦 attacking
A quick reminder the first serious blow struck by Ukraine's long range weapons, came in Oryol.

A power plant was struck, though Russia told its people it was only drone debris (again)

Russia will not stop until it's stopped.
The war ends the moment Russia leaves.
Russia lies repeatedly (we won't invade Ukraine, we didn't kill Litvinenko, didn't kill 300 on MH17, didn't use Novichok in the UK etc etc)

We MUST NOT trust Putin.

Day 1345. Here's my daily thread
It's proved a very difficult morning for Ukraine, especially in the west. Russia tried to ensure misery and destruction, hits everyone across Ukraine.

At dawn missiles rained down, the start of the overnight attack was covered at the end of yesterday's🧵
There has been another big attack on Ukraine's energy sector with DTEK saying thermal power plants in various regions were hit.

They say it's the 3rd massive attack on the company's TPPs in October.

Various missiles and drones were fired by Russia. Image

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.
