Saturday 3 October 2026 and welcome to today's daily thread with all the Ukraine news, verified, all day, every day. We are on Day 1683 of Russia's attempt to remove Ukraine from the map. Having failed to take Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Putin is now reduced to bombing bridges in Kyiv

I'm still on my "day job" as I start the daily thread for Day 1682 of Russia's all-out war on Ukraine. And it really is all out now, nothing spared Kyiv in particular, schools, hospitals, malls and bridges all "fair game" for the war criminals even 500km from the front.

The daily grind begins again. Trying to alert the world to the crimes of an aggressor, terrorist nation in the hope the world can ensure justice and stabilise again. Even the dumbest or most ardent Russophile must now realise Putin leads a Terrorist State. Day 1679 of his war.

The number of times Nigel Farage has fallen over himself to get a racist xenophobic slant on some breaking news SHOULD be a wake up call to anyone who thinks he isn’t just a hate monger, trying to distract from his crypto millions with some new scapegoat

Day 1674 of Russia's illegal war on Ukraine. In 12.5 years of invading and killing, Russia has captured a total of 116,000 km² - that is 0.68% of Russia's legal territory. So it's not about territory or needing ports. It's about subjugation, annihilation of Ukraine. Here's Thursday's daily🧵

Russia is 1,664 days behind its schedule as Putin's (not so) "special operation" has descended into desperate recruitment of foreign meat to fight over scraps of land. Not one regional capital has been occupied by the "mighty" red army in over 4.5 years of war. Here's the 🧵for Day 1667

Hello again and welcome to the daily thread for Day 1666 of Russia's illegal war. As predicted by everyone who knew anything about Russia, the war is "spilling over" into the west. Why? Because the same western nations take no real action, so Putin continues to exploit weakness.
