[Jack Bowsher - Thunder Run: Meiktila 1945 @HistoryBowsh]

It’s taken me a while to completely settle after a wonderful if emotionally draining weekend at WHWFest. Thank you to everyone who said such kind words and helped me have such a brilliant time, saw lots of talks, @Npteggchaser @forgottenwarpod t shirt, signed some books, had rides in a Windsor carrier and a Sexton, and signed Ryan’s (from the 303 LHG) ‘hinomaru’ where he is getting historians etc to sign it in homage to the one at the Border regt’s section at the Cumbrian Museum of military life. Thank you to all of the @WeHaveWaysPod IC, @RedFiveModels @LordHardThrashe @almurray @James1940 @tonypastor70 @PaulHic80466580 and everyone else I spent time with. Looking forward to next year where it hopefully won’t be as bittersweet.

🔥 BREAKING: Zelenskyy confirmed that, for the first time, a Ukrainian ballistic missile — the Pelican (FP-7) — was used against oil refineries in Moscow.

[S Sebag Montefiore @simonmontefiore]

A nice surprise to find this review today @DailyMail : ‘A sweeping new history …The Middle East can only be understood through its the context of its history. Montefiore’s brilliant headlong race in The Cauldron gives us that.”

[Saul David @sauldavid66]

Not a good look during elections

[Special Kherson Cat 🐈🇺🇦 @bayraktar_1love]

🔥🛢️Scenes from Moscow today: a close, clear view of burning fuel-processing units at the Moscow Oil Refinery following the overnight attack, followed by footage of Ukrainian Liutyi long-range kamikaze drones flying over the Russian capital.

One of the most vivid visual summaries of this morning’s massive attack on Moscow and the surrounding region.

[Saul David @sauldavid66]

Wonderful! Big congrats

Already recorded but thank you. We’ll keep an eye on this.

[Jody Fella @JodyBWalter]

@sauldavid66 Not sure if you've recorded Battleground Ukraine, but this is a Russian map acknowledging the ZHEREBETS RIVER has been crossed! @actfast is very conservative in his posts, tends to post ISW or Russian Telegram maps. There's a division in retreat! Worth watching!⁸

[Iain_MacGregor1 (@iainmacgregor1.bsky.social) @Iain_MacGregor1]

Thanks to 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗕𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 for having me on @PodBattleground to discuss my book #𝘽𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 and focusing on the war in Ukraine, the last and most crucial essay. @BloomsburyBooks @GoalhangerHQ Listen here: https://t.co/vbJzuadSws

Wonderful news

[Michael McCaul @RepMcCaul]

🚨 I'm proud to announce the House just passed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 by a vote of 262 to 159 — fulfilling one of Sen. Graham's final wishes.

This bill will cripple the Russian war machine and finally bring Putin to the negotiating table. And it will ensure America’s adversaries — not only Russia, but also China and Iran — suffer for their coordinated campaign of aggression.

262 members the House voted not just for Ukraine, but for freedom and democracy. Today, we are one step closer to securing Lindsey’s vision of enduring peace in Ukraine and beyond.

The Russians report that Lieutenant-General Milchakov was killed in a missile strike.
