You've found the start of THE daily Ukraine thread on Day 1289 of Russia's illegal invasion.

Each and every day, even when I'm airborne for 7 hours - I've been here without fail to report and analyse all the news from a country I love and have great experience in.

We go again:
A mix of stories in yesterday's thread, starting with clearing up the destruction from another big Russian air attack, Trump performing another "pre-TACO" manoeuvre, and Ukraine continues to hit behind Russian lines.

Click/scroll to review as it happened
Despite a growing number of followers, I'm concerned viewing figures have been well down on both forums I post on.

This seems indicative of war-fatigue.
Please let's make a collective effort to keep politicians accountable and ensure justice to stop Russia once & for all.
I often start with warnings of missiles in Ukraine, but today I can report red alerts given by the occupiers in Donetsk.

Specifically rockets are hitting Russian positions in Makiivka and Avdiivka.
#StopRussia
Ukraine is having more and more success striking Russian logistics behind the lines.

It's this tactic which forced the invaders back from Kyiv, Kherson and Kharkiv.

Just one more small example here - a checkpoint in Debaltseve (Donetsk region) gets hit.

Day 1288 of Russia's illegal war and I'm leaving the airport, so time to start another daily thread.

All the important Ukraine and Russia news, every single day, in one place.
Tuesday's thread ended with a very big attack on Ukraine, just after Putin spewed more filthy lies about peace amid terrorist chums in China.

Catch up here:

How big was the attack?
This big!

On the map showing drone and missile paths, most of the ground cannot even be seen.

Hello again. Day 1287 of the war in Europe.
It's been affecting central and western Europe for a long time now and could engulf them too soon, if unity and strong leadership are not urgently shown.

With all Tuesday's Ukraine/Russia news in one handy thread, let's go again!
Monday saw a bunker weevil enjoying his time among the new axis of evil.

But far from problems easing for Putin, the situation for Russia is getting incrementally worse. Tick-Tock.

Here's your chance to catch up on whatever you missed yesterday:

The first thing to say is that Kyiv is under attack again right now from Russian Shahed, or strike, drones.

Air defence is working on the left bank (east) of the capital right now.

The town of Bila Tserkov in the south of the region, hit during the night, could be struck again

Good morning on Day 1286.
As September begins, it becomes the 44th month in which Russia has waged its unprovoked war on Ukraine.

Here I document all the major twists and turns as Ukraine fights for its very existence.
Welcome to THE daily thread:
Sunday was not the busiest day of the war, but still say significant strikes by Ukraine upon Russia and some reclaimed territory.

If you missed anything, click and scroll through Sunday's events:

I'm still on the eastern US time zone, and trying to maximise my last couple of days here is playing havoc with my sleep (currently 02:35)

This is one of the days when I really do not want to be doing this, then I remember the sacrifices made every day by my friends in Ukraine.

Welcome to Day 1285 of Russia's war of choice.
Sunday 31 August, the last day of summer in the northern hemisphere and Russia's summer offensive is the latest failure.

Here's another daily thread - all the news all the time.
If you were busy on Saturday and missed some, or all, of the news from Ukraine, just click this link and find out what happened step by step throughout the day.

This time y'day I was reporting on Ukraine strikes on occupied Ukraine. Now satellite imagery and analysis from @avivector shows 2 Russian helicopters may have been destroyed in a drone attack on Simferopol airport.

There are signs of fire where Mi-8 + Mi-24 choppers had been. Image

As expected, it was another difficult night, with Russian missiles and drones criss-crossing Ukraine with little regard for human life.

Friday's thread turned into another 50-post effort, documenting fall out from the Kyiv attack and ending with another:
1/3
The worst affected place in Russia's latest mass missile attack, was Zaporizhzhia.

One civilian was killed, 22 others injured. Boys aged 9 and 10, plus a 16 year old girl are among the wounded.

There's an almost haunting feel to this video of the aftermath of one location

Friday 29 August. Day 1283 of the war on Ukraine.

As usual Russia received "condemnation" from all sides, but nothing ever happens, which encourages the war crimes + massacre of civilians.

Here's THE daily thread with all the important news and analysis & no fillers for clicks
Yesterday was dominated with events in Kyiv which suffered one of its bloodiest attacks of the war, with over 20 civilians murdered by Russia.

But Ukraine managed to hit a number of military targets from a missile carrier to refineries.
Catch up here:
20 past 6 in the morning in Kyiv and none of the nightmare of 24 hours ago.

Here's the current air map and it's been like that for a few hours. For real 'nerds' it's maybe interesting that the air raid alerts in Chernihiv and Sumy are now not region-wide but more specific. Image
