Hello again. We've reached day 395 of the war.

#Russia's forward momentum in #Ukraine appears to have stalled and splits and tensions are starting to show among the illegal invaders, from the top down.

Here's another daily thread with #Ukraine news updated throughout the day.
As usual, here's a handy link to yesterday's thread for those who missed anything, such as some tasty fires, a kicking 'priest' and sadly, more war crimes and devastation.

#StandWithUkraine #RussiansGoHome

Now the usual numbers game.
Another 720 wasted lives and grieving families in #Russia as illegal invaders are sacrificed to #Putin.

Not much else of note except 9 MLRS equipment and a helicopter destroyed.

#RussiansGoHome
I missed this last night,

Alleged to be remarkable testimony of the state of #Russia's army, riddled with criminality and discontent. "They want to destroy the witnesses."

Vodyane is a small town around 10km west of #Donetsk city and SW of #Avdiivka

Worth flagging this up again from yesterday for those who didn't see it:

The daily Intel update from the UK confirms Defence not Attack is now the main intent from #Russia.

I take the stories of Russians fleeing from occupied lands with a pinch of salt, but this is maybe leading up to it!

#StopRussia
#RussiaOnFire

Just 140km from the border with #Ukraine another warehouse is ablaze.

This is in the town of #Aksay near #Rostov.
Russian Emergency servies will only say "cellulose products" are burning and the fire now covers 1,200m sq.
Another prominent opposition politician in #Russia has been poisoned. The FSB seems to prefer poisoning (Yushchenko, Navalny, Skripal et al).

Now one of the few anti-Putin voices who stayed in Russia, Elvira Vikhareva, has also been targeted. Translation of @Sota_Vision's story:
Evidence of high-tech measures from the FSB in occupied #Melitopol.

As partisan attacks become more frequent, those super smart intelligence officers from #Russia decided to glue-shut drainage and sewer hatches so Ukrainians can't place explosives😂🤡
Yet more shelling of #Nikopol in southern #Ukraine.

I regularly point out communities around Nikopol are shelled virtually every day and I'll only occasionally reference it.

Yesterday four separate attacks by #Russia leaving this damage and more:

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine
#RussiaOnFire

At the landmark "Moscow City" complex in the west of #Russia's capital, a fire erupted.

An electricity transformer substation on a building site seems to have denazified itself!
No casualties.
And yet another chapter in the popular series #RussiaOnFire!

Just south of #Moscow, a saboteur used fireworks to set fire to the "board of honour" at the council building in #Podolsk

The arsonist escaped.
#StopRussia
Seen on a bus in #Kyiv...

"On the day of Putin's death, travel is free"

#SlavaUkraini #StandWithUkraine

Shelling this morning in occupied #Makiivka in the #Donbas.

Obviously this is being blamed on #Ukraine by the Russian authorities. Unless there was intel on invaders using these buildings, it seems unlikely.

#RussiansGoHome
England play #Ukraine tomorrow at Wembley in a @EURO2024 qualifier.

However, there's a chance Ukraine could be thrown out of the tournament for political interference.
UAF President Andriy Pavelko was a former MP with @poroshenko's party and is under investigation for corruption
I am trying to get an interview with Pavelko who maintains the accusations are politically motivated, but has not spoken since apparently being arrested in November.

Last month a court tried to suspend him from the role of #Ukraine's football President.

Never nice to see people supporting #Ukraine exposed as charlatans. There's a lot of bitterness and sometimes false accusations so I steer clear until the truth comes up.

But now this has to be exposed and continued investigations 😟

#Putin has just confirmed what many of us suspected for a while... #Russia will deploy nukes in #Belarus.

Belarus has become a vassal state under Lukashenko and although it will be a very unpopular move among the people, there's little they can do.

#StopRussia
#Ukraine's General Staff says it had to repel 50 Russian attacks today, despite thoughts the invaders may be switching to defence.

"The enemy is concentrating its main efforts on conducting offensive actions in the Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiiv, and Marin areas."

#StandWithUkraine
This is the moment #Ukraine says it destroyed a Russian command post in #Luhansk region.

Location: #Svatove

#RussiansGoHome
In the early days of the war I used to report frequently on the daily speeches to the nation of #Ukraine's President @ZelenskyyUa. I haven't done so for a while, but here's a translation of this evening's address.

I think cautious optimism is the tone.
#SlavaUkraini
#Germany is on the brink of expelling 30+ diplomats from #Russia.

Nancy Faeser, chief of Federal Criminal Police, said in a recent interview that "Russian secret services were constantly attacking and decisive action must be taken against Moscow's spies."

#RussiaOnFire... again! It's a good time of year for fire spotters in #Russia.

Flames at the "Fregate" plant in Voskresensk in #Moscow region. Apparently it's the largest factory for the production of secondary lead, which may have some military use.

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.

Good morning on Day 1310 of the full-scale war in Ukraine. But let's not forget Russia first invaded 11.5 years ago and the free world was too timid to defend a democracy from a tyrant, which led us to this position now after far too many wasted lives (and $)

Here's my daily🧵
Wednesday was another busy-busy day.
Too much to detail, just make sure you are up to date, but clicking and scrolling here, but remember to come back.

Russia has managed to attack railway infrastructure and some power targets overnight.

The latest is in Kirovohrad region, where 3 villages are without power after drone strikes. The city of Oleksandriya in the east of the region was heavily attacked.
There were no casualties.

Day 1305 began with a huge attack on Ukraine.

It's taken an incredible effort to maintain Ukraine's independence this long, but we still need to keep pressure up and keep aid flowing.

It's a marathon effort to research & post the news, please support🙏

Friday's thread had the first half of Russia's attack - before that we saw Ukraine's partners tightening sanctions, and Putin sending planes in to NATO territory to lead to another Article 4 discussion.

Loads more news too, catch up here if you missed it
First, the size of the morning attack on Ukraine..

Air defence did well, knocking out 583 projectiles, but that still left 36 hits in 10 places.

Ukraine stopped:
2/8 ballistics
29/32 cruise
552/579 drones (95% success)

Good morning and I hope you are all well.

Yes, I'm back again for another daily thread, with all the important news from Ukraine and Russia in one handy thread, every single day.

DMs open for your tip-offs; please help to keep Ukraine in the news, share, re-post, reply etc.
So, Day 1303 gets underway, but first the link back to 1302 and Wednesday's news feed.

A lot of stuff covered, but forgive me for my favourite moment being the British King lecturing a wannabe king about support for Ukraine.

Only a 65% success rate for Ukraine's air defence last night.

75 drones were launched by Russia, initially at eastern areas, then attacking Kyiv later in the night.
One UAV is still flying, of the others, Ukraine brought down 48.

Hits occurred in 6 places according to Ukraine. Image
