Wednesday is Day 378 of #Russia's horrific and sadistic war on its peaceful neighbour.

As always, the thread is updated throughout the day.
If you missed any #Ukraine/war news yesterday, you can catch up with a click and scroll here⬇️

A dip today in the reported deaths of #Russia's frontline cattle, as well as equipment numbers.

Artillery systems hit is slightly above the daily mean for the whole war.

Figures are #Ukraine estimates for the last 24 hours.
#RussiansGoHome
Iran proven to be supplying #Russia with loads of ammunition as well as killer drones.

Well done to @haynesdeborah and the Sky News team for this report:

news.sky.com/story/irans-al…
Not the most riveting update from London today.

But it does highlight the continuing feud between Prigozhin and Shoigu, which is boiling up nicely and will end up with one, maybe both, careers in ruin.
#StandWithUkraine
Tricky day for me to update - leaving Dubai and in the airport now. So sorry for delays, but there's not too much happening in #Ukraine right now

UN Gen Sec @antonioguterres has arrived in #Kyiv for talks about renewing the grain deal which ends soon, #Russia wants a better deal
One thing which does continue day-in, day-out in #Ukraine is de-mining

Telegram channel kyiv_polit reports that after 10 months of work, they've only made safe 2% of the landmines and other explosives left by #Russia.

Even today locals in the Buchansky district found new bombs.
International Women's Day is being celebrated in #Russia where it's a national holiday.

It's becoming less important in #Ukraine.
I particularly like these posters "I don't want flowers, I want my Ukraine."
#RussiansGoHome
Yesterday was the first day since 24 February 2022 when not a single citizen was injured or killed in #Donetsk, according to the local head of #Ukraine's administration.
In case you were wondering, #BakhmutHolds.

Bad news from #Avdiivka though where photos are being posted of the latest damage from shelling.

#DonetskIsUkraine #RussiansGoHome
#Russia has arrested the ex-mayor of #Belgorod (which borders #Ukraine).

Anton Ivanov is accused of taking bribes.
The real question is who did he fall out with and why because if they arrest officials for taking bribes there will be no mayors, no officials, no Kremlin!
#Germany's Defence Ministry says 18 German + 3 Portuguese "Leopard 2" tanks, along with brigades, will be sent to #Ukraine before the end of month.

#StopRussia
A decent read here showing one aspect of how things have changed for both #Ukraine and #Russia, especially since the hit on #Tuapse just over a week ago.

navalnews.com/naval-news/202…
Slower than it's F1 tyres, but finally Germany's @continentaltire has said it will leave #Russia.
Finally back home to quickly update on what's happened while I was airborne, and probably the first thing to report is happening now in #Georgia.

Protesters demands for legislation to be repealed within an hour were not met, so they're reportedly storming parliament in Tblisi.
Water cannons, tear gas and now rubber bullets reportedly fired in Tblisi to stop the Georgia protesters.

Huge amounts of gas in the centre, with some even leaking into the metro station and those trying to escape are still spluttering and struggling to breathe.
#GeorgiaProtests
No surprise to hear Donald Trump admit "in the worst case, I could agree that they (#Russia) seized something", i.e. let them keep illegally captured lands and be rewarded for terrorism, adding "in #Ukraine there are certain areas that are Russian-speaking."
#Ukraine's Intelligence service releases this video of its Special Forces taking out a Russian "flamethrower" while it was firing at Ukraine.

#Russia's "Solntsepek" was hit with an attack drone, but the date and location are not provided.

#StopRussia
A Russian rapper who went to the frontline in #Donetsk may have been killed.

"Ptakha" (real name David Nuriev) went to give a concert for troops. When they came under fire from #Ukraine forces, this happened.
His phone is now switched off with no communication since.
A couple of people sent me this video earlier and I did laugh out loud.

#Ukraine soldiers being surrounded on the frontline is not usually a laughing matter...
The #Ukraine soldier murdered in cold blood, has been named. Oleksandr Matsievsky was a member of the 163rd battalion of Chernihiv region

His mum knew of his death, but not the circumstance
His body was returned 3 weeks ago. Oleksandr's last words to her were "I won't surrender"
#Switzerland once again hampers the Allies' effort to arm #Ukraine.

Earlier the lower House of the Swiss Parliament rejected a proposal to ease the ban on the re-export of ammunition.

Wednesday. Day 1302 of the illegal war started by Russia.

For all the fact-checked news about Ukraine, analysis not sugar-coated, and honest appraisals of the situation, trust an expert who isn't here for clicks (if I was I'd post lies & gory videos).

Thanks for being #TeamTim
Yesterday an astonishing report from Yale showing Russia forcing kidnapped kids to work in drone factories, how Croatia may have embarrassed the Putin/ Hungary/Slovakia axis.

Those and many more stories in Tuesday's thread, click here to review:

2-3 weeks ago, Russia started copying Ukraine's attacks on railway infrastructure and is having success.

At night, Ukrzaliznytsia substations were hit, causing power losses firing the rail network.

Over 20 passenger trains were on affected routes, but there are no casualties. Image

Day 1301 of Ukraine fighting for its survival. The right to be free, speak their own language, worship in their own churches, to learn their own history.

A history of long suppression by Russia.
As war crimes grow daily, the words "never again" don't seem to apply.
Here's the🧵
Yesterday began, and ended, with Russia attacking Zaporizhzhia, injuring civilians.

Also, the head of the IAEA disgraced himself in Russia's arms, changes of 🇺🇦army leadership, and how a Russian guy was a Putin opponent, until 3 mins after being elected.

 First though a breaking news after a number of morning attacks by Russia, particularly in Kyiv region.

This is in the town of Fastiv where a logistics centre for the electronic retail company EpiCentre (EpiTsentr).

Residents are warned of potential air pollution. Image

Day 1300 of Putin's war.
Another 100 days of fighting completed.
We are no nearer peace than we were 100 days ago.

Almost 200 days ago Trump demanded a 30-day unconditional ceasefire.
Not surprising as he started it, it's always Putin stopping peace.

Here's Monday's daily🧵
If you were busy over the weekend, click the link to see all Sunday's stories.

It was a day when Ukraine had to quickly repair a main railway line after a massive explosion, but they also managed to make multiple hits on Russia's rail and oil industries

The overnight bombardment from Russia remained lower than usual, although 84 drones and 3 S-300 missiles caused a fair bit of damage on 'soft' targets

With 59 UAVs stopped, that's a 70% success rate.
None of the missiles was intercepted either

The 28 hits occurred in 13 places Image

Day 1299 - the daily thread starts here, covering all things to do with the illegal invasion of Ukraine by its demonic neighbour.

Plenty to catch up on due to the late start today.
So no time to waste, let's go...
Apologies for the much later start than intended, due to a few technical issues, as well as Dad's Taxi being booked for a rescue mission😂

Before we look at today's events, here's the link back to Saturday's thread:

 At the end of yday's thread, I wrote about what was a probable Russian strike on Kyiv's railway.

Ukraine's Gen Staff doesn't say it was an attack but admits a "detonation of ammunition on a train carrying military cargo"

Accidents happen, but either way it's a clear blow.

Hello on Day 1298 of Russia's full invasion of its sovereign neighbour. So, only 1295 days late in fulfilling the boast of taking Kyiv in 3 days. #EATP for Putin.

I've compiled a🧵every single day without fail.
You can help my work with a boost, comment, re-post or a coffee🙏
Friday saw more important visitors arrive in Kyiv (and another familiar place is in Ukraine today).

There was more solidarity and practical support, while Russia suffered more oil woes.

If you missed anything, click and scroll here:

I'll start in Odesa, because that's where the familiar face has turned up.

He was planning to return to Ukraine a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't make it, but now Boris is back.
Loved by nearly all Ukrainians, his early arrival (with Lord Ashcroft) meant he avoids the crowds. Image

Hello once again on Friday 12 September 2025.

Day 1297 of Russia's imperialist war, but the senior bully keeps being given a bloody nose by the junior school kid next door. How embarrassing for the "world's second greatest army" and more 'punches' thrown by Ukraine overnight..
There was so much in yesterday's thread.

Russia hitting churches, Ukraine striking a boat.
The US helping Belarus, which helps🇷🇺 & Trump questioning if the drone attack on Poland was a mistake.
Thursday ended with a Ukraine drone surge into Russia:
It was busy at Kyiv's main railway station this morning with two VIP arrivals making unannounced visits.

Prince Harry accepted a request to return to Ukraine saying "we have to keep (the war) at the forefront of people's minds."

Poland's FM @sikorskiradek hopped off soon after Image
