Hello on Day 1298 of Russia's full invasion of its sovereign neighbour. So, only 1295 days late in fulfilling the boast of taking Kyiv in 3 days. #EATP for Putin.

I've compiled a🧵every single day without fail.
You can help my work with a boost, comment, re-post or a coffee🙏
Friday saw more important visitors arrive in Kyiv (and another familiar place is in Ukraine today).

There was more solidarity and practical support, while Russia suffered more oil woes.

I'll start in Odesa, because that's where the familiar face has turned up.

He was planning to return to Ukraine a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't make it, but now Boris is back.
Loved by nearly all Ukrainians, his early arrival (with Lord Ashcroft) meant he avoids the crowds. Image

Russia's battlefield losses remain pretty constant.

Just under 1000 more dead, or dying, invaders.
Enemy vehicles destroyed is back over 100

The average daily number of artillery systems destroyed is 25, so today's 39 is still well above the mean even though we've seen higher Image
Many more drones were fired by Russia last night, but General Kellogg kept Kyiv safe, with just one UAV hovering near the capital all night.

In total, 164 drones +1 ballistic missile were launched, of which 137 were stopped (84%)
The remaining 27 + the missile hit 9 locations. Image
Sorry if it's too much Boris at breakfast!

The former UK PM joined in one of Ukraine's newest traditions - the "Piano Dawn" in Odesa.

Mornings are greeted on Langeron beach with pianist Ihor Yanchuk tinkling the ivories!

Last night I reported new US sanctions against Russia supporters. My story has now been confirmed.

China's Academy of Sciences, National Time Service Centre is probably the biggest name on the list while firms in India & Turkiye are also targeted.

Sumy remains one of the most heavily attacked areas.

The regional council says 3 people have been killed and 5 more injured since yesterday morning.

The air raid in the region yesterday lasted 23 hours, 25 minutes 😳 Image

After leaving Ukraine yesterday evening, Prince Harry allowed these photos to be released.

The Duke of Sussex visited the Alley of Fallen Heroes in Kyiv. He paid respects and thanks to Ukraine's armed forces. Ukraine provides one of the largest teams for the Invictus Games. Image

Kharkiv region was also attacked overnight, with aerial bombs, FPVs & regular drones falling regularly.

In Balka village, nr Kupiansk, a woman was injured in a strike on a house which caught fire, while in Kalynove, a cultural centre, apartment blocks & a hospital were damaged. Image

Russia says falling debris damaged a hospital in Volgograd this morning, but they have not released photos.

The city's airport was one of 4 to be shut due to the work of Ukraine's Dr One.
Yaroslavl, Samara and Saratov were the others, but all except Saratov have been reopened

Hello once again on Friday 12 September 2025.

Day 1297 of Russia's imperialist war, but the senior bully keeps being given a bloody nose by the junior school kid next door. How embarrassing for the "world's second greatest army" and more 'punches' thrown by Ukraine overnight..
There was so much in yesterday's thread.

Russia hitting churches, Ukraine striking a boat.
The US helping Belarus, which helps🇷🇺 & Trump questioning if the drone attack on Poland was a mistake.
Thursday ended with a Ukraine drone surge into Russia:
It was busy at Kyiv's main railway station this morning with two VIP arrivals making unannounced visits.

Prince Harry accepted a request to return to Ukraine saying "we have to keep (the war) at the forefront of people's minds."

Poland's FM @sikorskiradek hopped off soon after Image

Day 1296 of Russia's genocidal war in Ukraine, welcome to THE daily thread for Thursday 11 Sept.

My thoughts today are with all Americans on the 24th anniversary of a sickening terrorist attack, born of hatred.

It seems we learned little. A cycle of violence has to end.
Some may accuse me of hypocrisy, and that's fine, it's their right in a free world.

My strongest criticism is reserved for leaders who spread lies, try to brainwash and use people instead of helping them.

I don't hate all Russians, though I detest what the country has become.
If ever the U.S. and the free world needed to be unified, it is now, just like we were 24 year ago.

Russia is an existential threat to Ukraine even existing, but also to the way of life of all of us.

Yesterday was momentous, read the thread:

Here we go then, another day in Russia's imperial war on Ukraine

Too many "allies" of Ukraine lacked vision, understanding or balls, or all three and merely tried to stop the punching, while the US now rather sadistically aids the killing while shouting "peace"

It's Monday's🧵
Day 1293 has started quietly, but with politicians back in offices, there may be developments later.

Sunday was a day of violence, recrimination and clearing up after the worst single night's attack in world history, in terms of projectiles.
Review here:
No big developments to report on the ground in Ukraine yet, so let me brief you on two political stories to watch for this afternoon.

The French govt is likely to collapse, meaning a new PM will need to be appointed. Macron may choose very pro-Ukraine Defence Min @SebLecornu Image

Day 1292 of Ukraine's fight for survival, and Sunday begins with Russia again hitting civilians across the country in another massive attack on a sleeping population.

It's gone 5am in🇺🇦, no-one's able to sleep yet, and I'm starting another daily thread before going to bed...
Saturday exploded into life, and death, at night as Russia began what proved to be an enormous launch of drones, then missiles, at various cities across Ukraine.

Review all yesterday's news here:

The scene in Kyiv this morning.
Just before dawn, the skyline is filled with smoke after more terrorist strikes by Russia.

Terrorism and nukes are all Putin has left.
TACO Trump is the weakest US President ever, yet again failing to honour his deadline, refusing to stop Putin.

Another weekend in Europe's war. It's the 184th weekend of Russia trying to bomb Ukraine out of existence.

But as we start Day 1291, Ukraine is battered but free, Russia is economically crippled and not winning.

Every day I produce THE daily thread, please support if you can.
Follower numbers continue to go up, but views continue to go down. X-itter working against pro-Ukraine accounts say many of my followers

So if you're one who found me today but missed yesterday, click here to find out about a lot of good news for Ukraine
It was a relatively quiet night again in Ukraine but already air warnings in the country this morning.

Right now, part of Kyiv region has been put on alert for attack drones, along with Chernihiv and Sumy and front-line areas. Image

It's Friday 5 September, and Day 1290 of the war in Europe.

I am starting this thread in hospital, waiting for the follow-up appointment after my emergency visit 10 days ago. So updates are a little slower than normal at first. But as ever, all the important 🇺🇦🇷🇺news will be here
Well it was after 3am UK time when I closed Thursday's 🧵 , thanks to a burst of late news and action, as Ukraine scored some important hits on Russia and territory it holds.

Catch up on what you missed in the monster-thread here:

A little request here for the #TeamTim community. I know where many of you are from, but some of you are silent readers.

Please, can you all reply to this post, saying which country you're in. It will help see how widespread support is for Ukraine, which will boost🇺🇦 followers
