It's Tuesday and also Day 412 of #Russia's illegal war, welcome to my daily🧵
So far today it's very quiet in terms of news. But there was quite a lot happening yesterday. If you missed anything, take a quick scroll through Monday's thread here.
The daily losses published by #Ukraine show that #Russia has now lost a total of 600 aircraft as I reported yesterday when another fighter helicopter was downed.
500 more troops met their end too, all for a few metres of muddy land and Putin's ego.
Here's the daily update from #London too, which again indicates how quiet things are... but one of my followers in particular will be furious with another use of the word "likely" instead of "probably"😅
#Ukraine's Defence Min. is in #Odesa and during the morning briefing turned up the heat a little by announcing they can soon attack #Russia's Black Sea Fleet.
@oleksiireznikov said "We are just waiting for the right moment to repeat this history" a year after sinking the Moskva
Still angry scenes at #Kyiv's historic religious Lavra complex.
Moscow aligned priests have taken to conducting services outside inside the grounds but outside the church itself. More protesters came to give their views of the FSB influenced "church".
Although #Russia claimed long ago mobilisation had ended, we know that's 💩
Indeed, plans before the Duma now to amend the law. Currently only papers served in person are legal call-ups. Soon emails and even text messages may be used to ensnare new fodder for the meat grinder.
#Russia has released video of the arrest of two men in the far east of the country. Both are accused of donating to #Ukraine's army.
One was picked up in #Khabarovsk, the other in #Sakhalin. Both are charged with treason.
Easter - that most religious of times for Christians..
In #Russia a time for eggs, religious services and attacking churches in #Ukraine.
This is the Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos in #Kherson.
No-one was injured.
Now I'm confused... In October @Danone announced it was finally selling its business in #Russia and planning to stop contributing to Putin's war chest.
So why today do Russian media report "Danone wants to continue working in Russia and plans to rename "Activia" and "Aktimel"?
It's being reported on #Russia's propaganda networks that this is a big hit on #Ukraine army vehicles.
It's said to have happened in #Zaporizhzhia but cannot be verified and the time stamp on this is not accurate. That doesn't mean it's fake, just it cannot be verified.
Photos here from last night's attack by #Russia on the #Kherson region.
Aerial guided bombs were again used, along with rockets as local houses and "an industrial complex" were destroyed in #Beryslav. There were no injuries.
Among other restrictions, confirmation after a summons is sent, a person may not leave the country, and is banned from driving if they do not visit an enlistment office within 20 days.
#Russia claim two civilians were killed by shelling in the Occupied part of #Kherson.
They've published a video of a "Calendar Man" in #Oleshky holding a few scraps of metal and saying how there's been a crime, but strangely, no proof or even shots of the scene.
Meanwhile, in #Donetsk at least we have decent shots of an alleged attack.
Here #Russia says two men have been injured after shelling damaged minibus #63 in the Kuibyshev region of the occupied city. One of those injured was the driver.
Rinat Akhmetov has filed a lawsuit in international arbitration demanding compensation for all losses caused to him when #Donetsk and #Luhansk "governments" seized his assets, including the Donbas Arena, home of @FCShakhtar
E.N., Thank you for the words as well as the donation.
Sir, you make an important point about the pschological damage as well as the physical.
We must continue to help end this madness. #StandWithUkraine
This has to go down as propaganda right now as it cannot be proven, but thought you may like to see this video published by #Ukraine's border service.
They say 6 guards from #Luhansk detachment held at bay #Russia's superior forces for 3 hours in #Bakhmut to avoid encirclement.
More explosions reported in #Kherson region. #Russia's planes have been flying in the area and #Beryslav has been hit again though I don't know yet if it's rockets or aerial bombs again.
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...
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!
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:
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.
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🙏 ko-fi.com/twmcltd
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
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.
