⚡️⚡️⚡️ ✈️ Zelensky: Today we want to warn every airline that uses Russian airspace, every insurer, everyone who still uses key Russian airports: Russian skies are becoming completely dangerous. Ukraine does not threaten civil aviation as such - not a single civilian aircraft. 1/3

If this isn't an act of war then what is it?

Even if it takes more than a regiment, the point holds. Europe underestimates Russia’s drone dominance and experience while overestimating its own preparedness. Short on munitions, speed, and modern warfighting know-how, only the US presence in NATO stops Russia from invading

Social media is full of hot takes today. If you can't think critically -- don't comment.

UK PM Andy Burnham will arrive in Kyiv on Monday for Ukrainian Independence Day. Burnham plans to announce that his country will give Ukraine secret blueprints for the SCALP missile, according to a press release by the UK government.

The MSM completely missed the gravity of last night's Ukrainian missile strike on the Progress Rocket Center in Samara, Russia. This isn't just another industrial fire. This is the definitive end of independent Russian space dominance and a massive blow to their national pride. 1/5

Partial eclipse over Northern Ireland

This is beyond hybrid! This was an attempted attack against a country. Again, it's swept under the carpet because of "escalation management".

ZEIT has collected all the info from the attempted drone attack at Leipzig airport and it was as dangerous and deliberate as we feared: (Translation in alt. Full article: www.zeit.de/politik/deut...)

🎙️False Peace with Russia Could Destroy Ukraine and Western Democracy? @siliconcurtain.bsky.social host Jonathan Fink speaks with @keirgiles.bsky.social & Orysia Lutsevych on why a ceasefire should not be mistaken for peace. 🎧 www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFas... 📜 www.chathamhouse.org/2026/05/how-...

According to a confidential police report obtained by WDR, NDR, and the SZ, the Antonov cargo plane parked next to the explosive-laden drone discovered at Leipzig/Halle Airport was loaded with military ammunition recently transported from France for onward transit. - Tagesschau

Unusual drone sighting situation at Leipzig airport in Germany: a drone, possibly armed with some kind of explosive, has been found on the ground at Leipzig airport. Later, an aircraft reported a collision with an unknown object. More info certainly to follow. www.bild.de/regional/lei...

Always under the threshold.

As a new month begins, the skies are still light, but the soul is heavy. The darkness of Russia's collective character is evident wherever it treads, wherever it spreads murder, hate, colonial neo-nazism. It's Day 1620 of this💩in🇺🇦 And I've made a daily thread every one of 'em!

Day 1619 of Ukraine being forced to fight for its freedom, its very existence. Of course the war had been going on for 12 years and, having been a very small part of EuroMaidan, I don't forget that. But only since 2022 has the threat become existential. Here's Friday's daily🧵

Well worth checking out Amara's latest post on Moscow and its control of the Baltic States.

1/5 Few political operatives carry as much hidden responsibility for global chaos as Vladislav Surkov. He is an architect of modern post-truth politics, turning cynicism into a weapon of mass disorientation while engineering the rise of Vladimir Putin

Day 1614 of all out war in Ukraine. Almost 4.5 years without a break of fighting at the front, being part of the support team, running to shelters, not knowing when the next missile will hit or if one will destroy your home, or claim your loved ones. Also no break for my daily🧵- here's Sunday's..

Belatedly, but I made it for the daily thread on Day 1613 of the war started by Russia, but hopefully to be finished by Ukraine, to restore the (more) peaceful order + balance. A succession of nights with little sleep kept me out of action for a few hours, but ready to go now!

Day 1612 of Russia's war may well get more than a footnote, when its history is written. Russia suffered blow after blow during the night with a hat-trick of Wildberries and an MoD factory all hit plus various smaller strikes by Ukraine. Putin's war has found ordinary Russians.

It's Thursday 23 July 2026. Here's another daily thread, covering all things Ukraine (and the invader Russia) It's Day 1611 and I'm still here, not one single day off. If you like what I do or admire my tenacity, please send a coffee my way. Let's get going.

Day 1609 of the war in Ukraine - and Russia. The aggressor is increasingly getting a taste of its own medicine. It's regrettable Ukraine's allies didn't have the will to force Putin to step back earlier, so the only way is for Russia itself to suffer. Here's the daily thread:

A new week begins and so does a new thread, covering all the events in Ukraine and Russia on Day 1608 of Putin's war of choice. Just 1,605 days behind schedule now and we've now completed two world cups since the full invasion. No sleep yet for me 'cos there's a lot of news...

Here's another daily thread - a late start, but keeping up my 100% record on what is Day 1607 of Russia's all out war on Ukraine. Sorry for the delay getting underway - another extremely late finish this morning, meant my body just demanded a long uninterrupted sleep. Let's go again:

Hello again, welcome to the weekend, and yet another daily thread covering all things Ukraine. It's Day 1606. Never a day off for the people of Ukraine coping with air sirens, defending the country. And no day off for me either, fact-checking and reporting every single day. ko-fi.com/twmcltd

Day 1605 of the war in Europe. Eyes on the war in Ukraine have been dragged from the frontlines to political battles in Kyiv. It's Day 2 of public protests against Zelenskyy's siding with a Soviet-era General against a young Defence Minister. This is Friday's daily thread:

Please go easy on me today as I start the daily thread on Day 1604. I think I am suffering from DIMS. Double Incompetent Management Syndrome - resulting in losing a football match and a very good, well respected reformer as Head of Ukraine's Ministry of Defence. OK, let's go..

Hello again on Day 1603 of this damn war. A war conceived & started by Putin, after setting tests for the west. When our leaders were too cowardly to do anything over Georgia or Crimea, countless state murders on foreign soil, he was certain he could take Ukraine Wednesday's🧵

Day 1602 of Putin's Special Operation. But the indicted war criminal is now hanging on. His spokesman Peskov recently admitted it's no longer an "operation" but a full scale war (vs NATO) A subtle change which leads the way to full mobilisation. Here is Tuesday's daily🧵

You've found the start of THE daily thread, covering all things Ukraine and the war it's been bravely fighting for over 4.5 years. Today is Day 1601 of Russia's neo-colonialist invasion, which is now all-out terrorism. Ukraine won't stop, neither will I. So let's go again..

Another 100 days of war is completed as we reach Day 1600 of Russia's all-out invasion. 100 days is a long time to be fighting for your life, yet now it's "just another 100" not even a real milestone. Think of that as we delve into another Ukraine news thread,

What's 1,596 days late & still hasn't reached Kyiv? That's right, Putin's criminal horde. It's Day 1599 of Russia's all-out invasion & here's Saturday's thread, starting early, without sleep, as a missile attack hits Kyiv. A delicate reminder you can.. ko-fi.com/twmcltd

10 July 2026, also known as Day 1598 of Russia's war on Ukraine. It was a late finish last night/this morning when I was the first to report the attack on Taganrog, so a late start for today's daily thread, as it's not been the busiest start to Friday.

Hello again - welcome along to the daily🧵on Day 1597 of Ukraine's defiance. There's "war dichotomy" at the moment. Russia is still taking land on the battlefield, yet Ukraine is causing immense amounts of damage behind the lines. Tanker bingo is the new popular game! Shall we play?

Day 1596 of non-stop all-out war in Ukraine. And non-stop reporting here in my daily threads, of Russia's crimes and all the other important news, in one handy place, every day without fail. Let's begin Wednesday's thread:

It's 7th July, a date forever etched into UK history, our own "9-11" when more than 50 were murdered + >750 injured. My thoughts are with survivors & relatives Today Kyiv has its own day of mourning as Ukraine suffers terrorist attacks every single day. Day 1595 of Russia's war.

A new week begins and again Russia has attacked on a Monday morning. It's Day 1594 of the Kremlin's invasion of a sovereign state - as history tells us, what Moscow can't get, it destroys. This is THE daily🧵for Monday 6 July 2026

Sunday 5 July 2026 is Day 1593 of Russia's war of choice. A premeditated attack by Putin, confident of a quick victory against its peaceful, smaller neighbour. This is the start of the daily thread.

Hello again on the first day of July, which is Day 1589 of Russia's terror campaign against Ukraine. It was a late finish last night amid rumours Russia may launch a big attack, but it didn't really materialise and instead Ukraine made the more eye-catching hits. Here's the 🧵

Day 1588 of Putin's all out war shows no signs of ending. The bunker dictator is told of successes in Donetsk (partially true) but surely with no real idea of the catastrophe and strength of feeling unfolding elsewhere as logistics are strangled. Here's another daily thread:

Hello again. It's Day 1587 of Ukraine's fight to continue to remain free. Just 35 years ago Independence was reasserted after 7 decades of tyrannical occupation by Moscow. Let's begin another daily thread, for Monday 29 June 2026, as more rockets hit Ukraine...

Day 1586 of the incessant bombardment of Ukraine. The 227th weekend, when instead of enjoying family time, many are able to think only off survival, for themselves and their country. Each day I've made a daily thread covering all the news of Russia's attack, & hopefully retreat.

You're awake too, huh? Well let's start Saturday's daily thread, covering Day 1585 of Russia's war of choice. And I start early with dramatic news from deep inside Russia. No sleep yet - if you can spare enough for a coffee, I'll be very grateful 🙏 ko-fi.com/twmcltd

You've found the start of THE daily Ukraine thread for Day 1584 of Russia's war on its peaceful neighbour. There seems to be a growing feeling we are at the very start of the end of the war. We have begun "Zelenskyy's 40 days", and more results are visible this morning:

Thursday 25 June is Day 1583 of Russia's attempt to remove Ukraine from the map, and eradicate its culture and history. Each day I round up all the significant news, with analysis and local knowledge to put together a new thread - all the news you need in one place. Let's go:

Hello, it's Day 1582 of Ukraine's heroic defence against the (not so) mighty Russian army. You've found the start of another daily thread covering all things to do with the war (except the gory bits)

As I start the daily thread thread for Day 1581 there are more Russian missiles flying in Ukraine. Every single day of this 52 month war, I've been here documenting all the important news, in one handy place. Let's go again.

Hello on Day 1580 of Russia's war on Ukraine. A new working week has begun with Europe basking in a heatwave. It's touching 30 degrees across Ukraine as well, and they have to fight for their survival. Here's Monday's daily thread:

I'll quote a favourite saying in Ukraine. Day 1579 of Russia's war 'didn't start with coffee' especially in occupied Crimea. Here comes another of my daily threads, with all the important news from Ukraine, and I've still not missed a single day.

I do hope you're having a great weekend. The summer solstice happens in the next 24 hours. In Ukraine, it's Day 1578 of Russia's all out war, and we've now passed 4,500 days since the original invasion was launched. All the news in another daily 🧵 Coffee donations welcome🙏
