A typical post picks up 1.3K interactions against 209K followers, an engagement rate of 0.65%. Measured over 50 original posts, its engagement rate beats 88% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 24K times each, and 5.51% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 11.6% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 50 posts sampled, 88% carry an image or video, 10% are part of a thread and 12% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 14K interactions, about 10x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #pryluky, #moldova, #russiaterrorist.

Compared with accounts its own size

Jay in Kyiv's engagement rate beats 88% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 89% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.65%, Jay in Kyiv sits above the 50th percentile of the 205,048 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the above the median band, which runs 0.143% to 0.678%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 205,048 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,894 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 09:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

  • 88% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 12% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 282 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    A Russian "Z-blogger" writes that the Russian city of Taganrog now has no Pantsir or S-300/400 air defense systems after Ukrainian attacks: "Attack on Taganrog. The city is without air defense. On September 12, 2026, an attack was carried out on facilities located in the area of Taganrog, Rostov Region. During the attack, a Pantsir-S1 surface-to-air missile and gun system (SAM/GMS) was destroyed. It is worth noting that the system had only returned from repairs the day before, following damage sustained in a previous strike. As of September 13, 2026, there are no operational Pantsir-S1 systems or S-300/S-400 air defense systems remaining in the city of Taganrog. The attack also targeted a fuel storage facility at Taganrog Severny airfield. A 1,000-ton storage tank caught fire. A strike was also carried out on Atlant Aero LLC, a manufacturer of UAVs. Production facilities covering 4,000 m² caught fire. A warehouse containing finished Molniya UAVs was destroyed." 📹: the burning storage tank at Taganrog airfield

    Some notes on my situation in Latvia: What I am observing at the moment is a threat of very severe extrajudicial punishment for speaking my mind and providing original opinions and analysis. The reason they opt for persona non grata status is the desire to deny me justice in the court system where the case - as senior politicians involved in attacking openly admit - won’t hold water. This is why I interpret the situation as an instance of political persecution. The threat is accompanied with a character assassination campaign involving far right infowar and fake news outfits which deliberately distort my views on the conflict. The goal of the attack is to destroy my life and to put a gag on me as a notable voice in public debate on the Russo-Ukranian war.
