You've stumbled upon the start of a new daily thread with all the latest news, analysis and developments of Russia's war on Ukraine. Day 1668 and every single day a new thread with all the news in one place.

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

Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

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.

It's Day 1664 of Ukraine's fight for its very existence. Today's thread comes from Nagoya, Japan, so my time perception and body clock are all askew, but hopefully a decent night's sleep soon will reset everything for my work ahead. But there will still be a thread every day!

Day 1660 of the Ukraine war. When will it end? How will it end? Ukraine will not give in and must not give in. Terrorism must NOT be rewarded. Myriad war crimes must be punished. Here's the latest daily thread...

@ashoro.co.uk here's what I read

🇾🇪 According to Agence France-Presse,Yemeni Houthi forces have reportedly captured Zuqar Island in the southern Red Sea following missile strikes and intense attacks carried out by boats. The capture further strengthens the Houthis’ position near the strategically vital Bab el-Mandeb maritime route.

Another explanation you never hear on TV, thanks Ash. Presumably this was also written before the reports of the Houtis taking control of an island which can potentially make matters worse still.

1/9 Reports that Houthi forces have taken Mokha in Yemen bring renewed pressure near Bab al-Mandeb, the southern entrance to the Red Sea. That does not mean the passage is closed, but it matters because this sea route also helps carry oil diverted away from Hormuz. #TheHormuzCrisis

The monitor map shows an approximation of various missiles (jet drones in pink) attacking Kyiv and the region. Officials refuse to confirm how many ballistics were launched, but I think about 20, with Onyx missiles also fired at Odesa. #RussiaIsATerroristState

I don't often start the🧵with a video, but rage is high today. Can idiots in power wake up? Exactly as predicted, Putin battered Kyiv the moment US envoys return home from Moscow/Kyiv, just like when the CIA director returned from Moscow. Here's the link to yesterday's🧵 bsky.app/profile/twmc...

Day 1657 is upon us. The war, started illegally by Russia, continues. Witkoff and Kushner left Ukraine last night with no-one quite sure if they came looking for peace in Ukraine, or a piece of Ukraine. Welcome to Monday's daily🧵 Fact checked news of the war every single day.

Day 1658 of this terrorism being inflicted on an innocent country. Ukraine is fighting for its life & the lives of every one of its inhabitants. Just hours ago, this happened in Kyiv, a western-looking, freedom loving, European capital city. This may come to you soon. Today's🧵

Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.

Day 1656 of Ukraine's fight for survival. And soon we should finally see Trump's golf buddy and son in law arrive in Kyiv. After 9 visits to Moscow, this will be Witkoff's first to the Ukrainian capital. All the news, every day in one handy thread. Let's go again..

Friday 4 Sept 2026 is Day 1654 of the war in Europe Finally the public + politicians are waking up to the fact Russia's been committing acts of war in the EU + UK for a while It happens because of collective weakness, which allowed invasions of Georgia + Ukraine Here's the🫤🧵

It's not Groundhog Day, but it kind of feels like it. The 2nd of September starts like all other recent days with numerous air raid sirens, in Kyiv in particular. With that, comes more injuries. This is THE daily thread for Day 1652 of Russia's colonial war.

More public control is the way to grow UK economy, Burnham to tell MPs Control is not the same thing as public ownership. Toothless Ofwat, Ofgem, Ofcom, CMA have not protected people. Need public ownership of water, energy, essentials. Need worker/consumer elected directors, vote on exec pay.

Good morning. The 1st of September is the Day of Knowledge in Ukraine, the start of a new school year. It also marks the 56th month in which Ukraine has had to defend Russia's full invasion. Here's my daily thread for Day 1651 of Putin's 3-day "special operation"

The end of summer (officially at least) in Ukraine today, where it's also Day 1650 of ensuring the country's independence never ends again. Russia's full invasion continues, and so does the daily thread. Thanks for reading, please don't forget to share and like when I deserve it!

Not even a day missed for his birthday! Happy birthday and thank you Tim.🌮🥗🎂🍺🍺🍺

1/8 Today has seen some strange #TheHormuzCrisis details. The incident of the BURGAN deserves scrutiny, but I doubt most people will hear about it. It remains an unresolved problem. The timing, the location and the gaps between the warnings matter more than they appear - and it is being ignored.

England's water companies have nearly 1,200 criminal convictions. Fines announced, quietly deferred/waived. No exec prosecuted. Regulator can ban exec bonuses. Companies reclassify exec bonuses as “retention payments” and “signing-on fees”. No action taken No end to abuses. Nationalise water.

The case for nationalisation of water companies

England’s privatised water companies are leaders of predatory practices. In 1989, the industry was privatised for £7.6bn and had no debts. It joined Chile and a few US states&...

1/12 The big news story from #TheHormuzCrisis this morning is that CENTCOM says US forces have cleared Iranian mines from the internationally recognised shipping lanes through Hormuz and that those lanes are open. That sounds decisive. For commercial shipping, it is not.
