It's Tuesday and we've reached Day 405 of #Russia's illegal war of choice. Welcome to another daily thread.

#Ukraine refuses to bow down to the aggressor and invader and once again the country is under attack.

All the news throughout the day right here⬇️
#StandWithUkraine
As usual, here's the link for the start of yesterday's thread, in case you need to catch up:

#StopRussia #SaveUkraine

The southern city of #Odesa (RU: #Odessa) has been hit tonight.

Details are not yet clear but a few explosions were heard and local officials confirm they've been hit by drones.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
It's thought 15 kamikaze drones were launched to attack #Odesa. 11 are reportedly shot down with 2 hitting targets in the city.

Two more remained near the south coast port, and residents heard scenes like this for much of the past hour:

#Odessa #Ukraine
This is the moment an #Iran made kamikaze drone his #Odesa (RU: #Odessa) tonight.

A large fire is reported, but authorities are not giving any details yet.
They fear a second wave of drones could be launched by #Russia. Now the immediate danger passed.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
Earlier in the evening #Russia claimed #Ukraine had attacked #Bryansk with drones.

Regional Governor Aleksandr Bogomaz says explosives were dropped from UAVs on the Military Commissariat and the Ministry of Internal Affairs buildings. A local channel shows some damage nearby:
The all clear has just been given for #Odesa/#Odessa

There has been more anti-aircraft fire in the last 30 minutes. Meanhile photos are emerging of the fire raging in the Raiduzhnyi area.

What? Call this news?
My followers knew a week ago!

And yes he was in charge of air defence as well as eastern command, and was judged to have failed in both.

Meanwile Gerasimov is currently avoiding open windows.

Britain's MoD Intel report today returns to the rift between the #Wagner group and #Russia's Government.

And as I read this, I have to remind myself that mercenaries are still illegal in Russia. Putin and his cronies have stopped even trying to pretend they obey laws.
Here is the table of daily losses for #Russia in #Ukraine.

530 more dead soldiers, but that is the only category today above the daily mean for the 405 days of the full invasion.

#RussiansGoHome
The RIA-Melitopol Telegram Channel headlines this story "Karma in action"

They say a collaborator stole a generator in occupied Alchevsk, which then electrocuted him

During a power outage the “head” of Alchevskteplo tried to use a pocket generator, but instead he was denazified
Britain's UFC fighter @muhammadmokaev wants officials to remove #Russia from his biography.

Muhammad was born in #Dagestan, which has a large separatist community, despite brutal crackdowns by Kremlin installed local officials.

I've been chasing reports of a possible attack in #Crimea overnight. Many #Ukraine channels are writing about explosions around 2am in #Armyansk.

Supposedly an abandoned farmhouse used by #Russia's soldiers was hit.

However I can find no verification.
"Fake divorce" so Russian deputy Defence Minister's wife can carry on partying in Europe.

But look at the figures and outrageous disparity with salary. Why do Russians just accept this theft of their money by greedy, bloodthirsty Putin slaves?

#Finland has officially joined NATO.
Well done #Putin who's managed to make #Russia's border with NATO double in length by his aggression.

The Suomi flag will be raised at NATO HQ in half an hour or so, with a press conference thereafter.

In #Mariupol a little chatter about explosions being heard.

It's likely to be demolition work or training exercises by #Russia's occupiers, but worth keeping an eye on.

#StandWithUkraine
#Germany's Vice Chancellor admits he's "ashamed" at the delay in getting weapons to #Ukraine.

Robert Halbeck apologised face-to-face in his meeting with @ZelenskyyUa in #Kyiv today:

#StandWithUkraine #StopRussia
Confirmation here from councillors in #Khmelnytskyi that the Moscow-aligned church is being kicked out of the city.

By a unanimous vote they deprived the UOC-MP of the right to use 13 plots of land, including the church where a #Ukraine soldier was beaten a few days ago.
#Ukraine's Armed Forces is celebrating the capture of #Russia's all-terrain vehicle DT-10 "Vityaz"

It's a rare specimen and it's original design for use in the Arctic could serve well on the wetlands of east #Ukraine in the next few weeks after repairs.

#RussiaOnFire

Ealier today a blaze in a warehouse in St.Petersburg raised interest. It's said to be on the territory of the Petrograd production and procurement enterprise.

Not sure what they make or store, but it's near the railway and another hangar was also destroyed.
Here's video of Dariya Trepova being taken back to a prison cell after her court hearing earlier today, following the explosion which killed Prigozhin ally Tatarsky.

Trepova was remanded for 2 months by the St Petersburg court.
Bombs have been dropped by one of #Russia's Su-35 aircraft on a village in #Chernihiv region this evening.

A private house and farm buildings in the #Pechenyuhy settlement were hit. A local man suffered moderate wounds according to medics who are operating on him now.
#Russia's little known "National Republican Army" assumed responsibility for the murder of Vladlen Tatarsky.
This is the same group which claimed to have killed Dugina.

Here is a translation of the group's post.

#StopRussia
Incidentally after that statement the group urged the public to support Dariya Trepova, the young woman accused of the crime.

The NRA describes her as a hero and never once say she is innocent, or framed.
Remember she sat in the cafe just metres away from the explosive device.
"I feel terrible" - Bill Clinton regrets encouraging #Ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons.

The USA and UK signed an agreement with Ukraine and Russia guaranteeing Ukrainian borders.
Ukraine lost its nukes and larges swathes of territory and US and UK did nothing until Feb'22.

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.

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
