And so begins Day 416 of the wretched war.
Bloodthirsty #Russia continues its illegal assault and attempt to destroy #Ukraine.

You've found the start of another daily thread with all the news.

As I'm search/shadowbanned please reply to this (write anything) and retweet to help!
Friday was quite a busy one, unfortunately the news led by another Terrorist Attack by #Russia.

But there was also the surprise of seeing Prigozhin call for an end to the war, and lots more interesting stuff.

Catch up here:

The #UK thinks #Russia's new laws on being able to deliver call-ups via email or text, indicate the Kremlin is preparing for a long war in #Ukraine.

This concurs with most experts' views as the invaders continue to build defences in the Occupied Territories. Image
#Russia's losses today well down on recent days.
Indeed equipment losses are probably as low as I can remember since 24 February 2022.

I'm sure @ragnarbjartur can confirm with his excellent daily charts! Image
One person's been injured overnight in #Sumy region.

#Russia fired grad rockets at the village of #Bilopillya, hitting a farming company.

#RussiaIsATerroristState ImageImageImage
In #Sloviansk five people remain under the rubble of a house.

As of this morning, 9 people were killed and 21 injured as a result of yesterday's Russian rocket attack.

#RussiaIsATerroristState Image
The Commander of a group defending #Vuhledar + #Avdiivka says they're holding positions, denying #Russia the chance to reach the latter.

Oleksandr Tarnavskyi of the Tavria battalion posted this photo adding "every soldier in the trenches is performing at the highest level." Image
#Ukraine's air force hints the US Patriot Air Defence systems will be in use soon

Spokesman Yuriy Ignat says the promised equipment will arrive "some time after Easter", but refuses to be more specific. "When the first Rashist plane is shot down you will know"

#StandWithUkraine
Earlier this morning two explosions were heard in occupied #Mariupol'

However no further details since, and it could be training of new arrivals from #Russia.

#SaveUkraine
The number of countries committed to seeing #Russia's leaders in the Hague has now reached 34.

#Poland became the most recent nation to join the coalition backing a tribunal into war crimes committed by the Terrorist State.

News In Brief:

#Moscow has cancelled its scheduled MayDay parade (1 May) "due to the threat of terrorism." The 9 May Victory parade will go ahead

#Japan pledges to give #Ukraine $400m to repair critical infrastructure and a further $70m to the UN's Ukraine Development programme
#Ukraine says it has proof that #Russia's regular army is now using convicts in the war.

Previously only #Wagner attempted this recruitment method, but now at least 15 Russian criminals have surrendered in #Donetsk region.

One of the biggest problems this Easter weekend for many in #Ukraine is flooding.

Three regions are on the highest level of alert with widespread instances of damage due to floodwater.

The capital #Kyiv is also suffering - photos/videos in this report:

Wow, 37 replies, 48 retweets so far. Thanks to all the "Fellas" and others for helping amplify my account. Pro-Ukraine accounts are under attack, support your favourites this way by regularly replying.

I've responded to all the replies, hope you see it!
A good and important thread for both nerds and those following the #DiscordLeaks closely.

One of the biggest Russian propagandists to write in English has an interesting background and is definitely NOT where she pretended to be from.

Two more bodies have been retrieved from the ruins of the apartment block in #Sloviansk.

11 people have now died in this Terror Attack by the nation which holds the Presidency of the @UN Security Council.

Nothing to say @antonioguterres?

#RussiaOnFire

This video clip is from south of #Kazan.
Locals say it's from near the tank training ground.

Friendly fire anyone?
#StopRussia
Shame on @amazon @Google and @NatGeo
All offer maps showing Occupied Territories in #Ukraine as Russian.

#Russia claims it has captured "two (more) quarters of the northern and southern outskirts of #Artemovsk (#Bakhmut in Ukrainian)"

Reports of #Ukraine troops retreating may well be true, though The Kremlin admits fierce battles continue for 🇷🇺's Wagner and Airborne Forces (VDV).
A mother and daughter have been murdered by #Russia's shelling in #Kherson.

The 48 and 28 year olds were walking near the school in the Tavriiskyi area of the city when killed.

#SlavaUkraini

This looks very much like #Ukraine hitting a Russian base in #Ribizhne.

Ammo, weapons, or a mix of both, exploding at will in the #Luhansk town.
Prigozhin "personally ordered the execution of prisoners of war of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. There are more than 20 such cases."

The founder of Gulagu.net, Vladimir Osechkin said they will publish the full story on Monday, based on testimony from an ex-Wagnerite. Image
LOL - nice to see the #Ukraine flag flying right in the centre of St Petersburg.

This is the Tauride Palace where a session of the CIS Inter-Parliamentary Assembly is taking place.
Seems no one told them Ukraine left the post Soviet relic 5 years ago!
Painting of Easter eggs is especially popular in #Ukraine and #Russia.

Seems the Ukrainian soldiers are preparing some seasonal gifts for the invaders.
#EasterGrenades! Image
#RussiaOnFire

A grassfire is raging out of control in #Tatarstan according to some Telegram channels in #Russia.

I cannot verify this - I just hope authorities are trying not to pretend this is the reason for the smoke in #Kazan, where some speculate about Russian troop deaths

There's an angry reaction from a wide cross section of society to Trump's compliant acceptance of Putin doing just what he wanted on U.S. soil

Welcome to my🧵on Day 1270 of Russia's war. I've never missed a day, if you want to support my quest for truth
ko-fi.com/twmcltd
Yesterday proved to be about a 26 hour long thread, which even for me was crazy!

Ukraine had great success striking military targets, while eventually, Putin had great success manipulating Trump.

Here's the link if you're catching up:

It's distasteful seeing leaders pussy-foot around, scared to upset Trump's fragile ego

Zelenskyy's forced to be careful, but Ukraine's always been ready for the unconditional ceasefire Trump first demanded 5 months ago. So no surprise he's travelling to Washington on Monday

It's Alaska Day, or a couple of half-baked Alaskas meeting later as Russia hopes to carve up Ukraine, with Trump's approval.

That's much later on Day 1269 of Putin's war.
As I start this thread at around 02:30 GMT, 05:30 Ukraine, there is a big attack on Russia.
Let the🧵begin
In a rush to get to sleep, so let me waste no further time in giving the link to yesterday's thread.

Both X and BSky have been a bit crappy scrolling through threads. One thing you can do is click my profile and then "replies", click one + scroll up

So, as I posted a few minutes ago at the end of Thursday's thread, a big, successful attack on another oil refinery in Russia.

This time it's the Rosneft plant in the city of Syzran, in Saratov region.

Whoever said 7 days is a long time in politics was dead right.

An about turn from tough guy & threats to TACO queen & Putin's poodle. And the next 7 days is now set to bring another cosy meet between a felon and an indicted war criminal.

It's Day 1263 of THE Ukraine thread:
A later start to Saturday's thread because of a crazily late finish to the last🧵

Fewer than 20,000 views for the first time in weeks on such an important day🤨🤔

So much effort and so little impact some days 😢

President Zelenskyy's damning response to the TrumPutin plan came early in social media posts - the full subtitled video is next in my🧵

As I said last night when Trump announced details, Putin got EVERYTHING he wanted (again) & gave up nothing, not even secondary tariffsImage

Day 1261 - the White House thinks the war in Ukraine is coming to an end.

Especially as the Kremlin has this morning announced Putin and Trump will meet in the coming days.
But is the war criminal just duping the US Pres again and buying more time?

Follow me & today's thread:
Much of Wednesday was taken up with the politics surrounding US envoy Wirkoff's latest chummy chat with Putin.

But then it turned dark, literally as the sun went down, but Ukraine looks to have had the better of the drone exchanges.
Catch up here:

I think we should start with the latest from Moscow on the first of the meetings which most hope will end the war, but few realists believe.

The venue has been arranged - this is from one of Russia's state news agencies. Image

Sunday 3 August 2025. It's Day 1257.
T-7 days til Trump's self-imposed deadline for Russia expires.

But Putin's horde continue to hit civilian targets.
However Ukraine has been hitting military targets in greater number overnight.

Here's THE daily🧵. All the news All the time
Well Saturday proved to be a very newsworthy day with many attacks on both sides.

Here's the link to the start of Saturday's feed, click and scroll if you missed anything.

The big story since the last couple of hours of y'day's thread has been Ukraine's multiple successes in breaching Russia's air defence at military targets.

The Kremlin says it destroyed 93 drones, 60 over the Black Sea. There's no mention of how many they missed!
Exhibit A:

It's Day 1266 of Russia's full invasion.

Even the most ardent peaceniks are realising one side doesn't want to stop fighting. At least until, as a state new agency said recently, all Ukrainians are killed.

Each + every day you'll find all the news here in one handy🧵
Let's go!
If you missed anything of yesterday's developments, well not as much to catch up on.

Click the link to review, things only really started going late at night..

Trying to compile threads on a train, using mobile only so far, is a nightmare. My first typo was rather important. It's Day 1256, so the observant don't need to message me 😊

Family day out today, going to see "Evita"
But always a thread and as up to date as I can be.
