❗️Ukraine shoots down up to 80% of jet drones during individual attacks, the General Staff reports. F-16, Mirage and MiG-29 fighters play a key role in intercepting enemy targets. At the same time, Ukraine is actively strengthening

Putin was probably trying to romance some brotherly Slavic alliance against the Anglo Saxon main bastards (Technically that includes French & Germans plus some others too)

NOELREPORTS@noelreports.com

❗Putin reportedly spent most of his call with Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Støre discussing Slavic history, while a ceasefire barely came up. Planned for 20 minutes, it stretched to 90, highlighting Europe’s difficult task in peace talks. #Ukraine

Sadly, as I know car dealers too well, there will be many cars sold. Greed will always find a loop hole (ie new-used)

Long road journey this morning and it's difficult to compile today's thread yet. There has been another missile attack on Kyiv in the early hours this morning, but first catch up on yesterday's news, including the first wave of missiles in my almost 60-post thread: bsky.app/profile/twmc...

We are starting the 244th week of Russia's all out war. Putin's "second army of the world" is more than 1,700 days behind schedule in reaching Kyiv. Ukraine stands proud, stays free on Day 1706 of the Kremlin's full scale invsion. Here's my daily🧵- gifts of coffee welcome!

This chart is insane. This shows Russia's casualties over time compared to Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine over the last five years. No sane or rational person would say continuing the war to try and take more of Ukraine's territory is worth the casualties.

I read about active measures years ago …& now in plain site we can see them at work more via the web Knowing they are real & identifying them to the general public reduces their impact

If you had one shot or one opportunity To down every russian drone you ever wanted in one moment Would you capture it or just let it slip? By making a single click and donating to Sky Defense, you could. Do not miss your chance to blow them down. u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...

Ukraine cut off another Russian salient the other day, regaining three villages. This may have also blunted a different Russian offensive by forcing them to pull tanks from it and put them on defense. The narrative that Russian lines are thinning seems true.

As I’ve not been able to easily catch up on Ukraine updates due to work and the timeline understandably full of US election coverage..I’ve turned to Tim’s daily report It really is great work - so coffee to Tim 💪🇺🇦

On the battlefield, Russia's made another entry into its Top 10 days of losses during the entire war. Another 1,990 sacrificial pieces of meat in the last 24 hours, taking October's total to 6th place with 6 days to go. It will absolutely smash the all-time monthly losses total.

1/ Voronezh Last night I wrote that a big attack appeared to be underway on occupied Ukraine and border regions of Russian. Well Voronezh come under sustained attack during which time there was a considerably amount of damage to the city.

While Russia hits buses, hospitals and apartment blocks along with occasional tactical hits, Ukraine resumed picking off Russian military factories. And, having failed to assassinate Zelenskyy themselves, Russia y'day pleaded with Trump to do it for them: bsky.app/profile/twmc...

Hello again and thanks for joining me on Day 1705 of Russia's attempt to remove Ukraine from the map. Time for another daily thread, with all the fact-checked news of the war in one handy thread, updated throughout the day, every single day, without fail.

❗️On 25–26 October, Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck the power-element production workshop at the Energia plant in Yelets (fire broke out), complicating the manufacture of batteries for Iskander-M missiles, cruise missiles, and glide-bomb correction modules.

Andy reposted

The Storm Shadows sent by the UK last week have been rapidly put to good use. The Proton plant in Oryol and the Energia plant in Yelets, which both produce missile components, were hit this week. Thank you to our UK allies for helping us cut Russian missile production.💙💛

Hopefully Georgia next..

Folks, if you hate authoritarianism, you should be feeling good this morning. In Serbia, a student-led movement just ousted a longtime strongman, peacefully. And we Americans should be paying attention, because we have a chance in November to send a similar message. (link below)

FYI! Do not use these lists. @pef-moderation.org It added Fellas because of an allegedly "Anti-Zionist" stance. NAFO is not a political organisation. We are opposed to fascism in all its forms. This account may well be associated with NAFO, but it’s using this platform to settle a personal grudge

The "poor Russian conscripts" are actually, in the overwhelming majority, not conscripts at all, but people who go to war to murder Ukrainians for money. ​"They have no choice" - what bullshit. Going to jail instead of bombing a playground full of children is a choice. Emigration is a choice.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Marco Rubio: That war, while people keep talking about it as a war in Ukraine, that war is about Donbas. It's about one region of the country. At its core, it's about 11% of one part of that country that Russia wants and cannot take militarily, and that Ukraine is unwilling to give up.

LOL! Ukraine's defence advisor, Serhiy "Flash" Beskrestnov says Musk is lying. It was impossible for them to use Starlink in Russia, because it's already restricted, he posted on his TG channel (translation below) #StandWithUkraine

Exhibit A, your Honour When the prosecution starts it’s going to get more views than Moblands, Sopranos, The moon landing & game of thrones combined

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

There it is. Elon Musk admits it. “That loophole was closed last week.” In a deranged post on X, Musk openly acknowledges that SpaceX recently restricted Ukraine’s ability to use Starlink.

Saturday 24 October 2026 Did you know today is United Nations Day? Ah, how I long for the day when the UN was a force for good and stability. It's now effectively held hostage by malign actors. It's one big reason Ukraine is still fighting for survival on Day 1704. Here's my daily🧵

The MOST IMPORTANT voters against Trump are those that flip There are good people in the Republican Party & for democracy’s sake they must vote Democrat. Even if it’s just this one time to break Trumps authoritarian coup

I’m not anti data centres, but destroying woods, forest & jungles is a crime against the Earth & ultimately humanity Money corrupts- any smaller business trying this would have been laughed at

‘Don’t be evil’ was Google’s motto. Meanwhile in Finland, Google has just behaved like a clichéd villain from some kids movie. To build new data centers at Muhos and Otanmäki, they quickly chopped down nearly 400,000 trees before getting permission, and even stripped away top soil.

China won’t stop Putin Their ideals are aligned & this situation continuously weakens the West Think before you buy Chinese (especially high value like cars) - paying a bit more now will yield future dividends. I’m not looking at quality or reliability of their cheap tat, but our children’s blood

Savchenko Volodymyr@savchenkoua.bsky.social

🇺🇦 🇨🇳 Zelensky said that China can force Putin to end the war "China has influence on Russia, because it is a real market for it, and the trade turnover between Russia and China seems to be the largest. So, of course, China has influence and can force Putin to end this war."

Zelenskyy’s strength is in his calmness under immense pressure- this is the quality of a great leader Contrast with Trump

MAKS 26 👀🇺🇦@maks23.bsky.social

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Ukraine cannot have a weak president now. Maybe after the war, any kind, absolutely, it's the choice of the people. But for today, if Ukraine wants to survive, Ukraine needs a strong army, a strong president, strong people, with all respect to everybody.
