Chinese media report that on September 12, a meteorite was shot down over Shandong province by the PLA air defense forces. If this is true, it is probably the first time such an event has occurred. At least, in my memory, this has never been officially reported anywhere before.
Pretty switched on AD network.

"62% of Germans fear a Russian attack on a NATO country": Germans want to seize frozen Russian assets but fear that the Russians will come after them*.
"The majority of Germans are concerned about a possible Russian attack on a NATO country, such as Poland or Lithuania, in the near future. According to a survey conducted by the sociological research institute Insa for BILD, 62% of respondents fear such an attack.
49% of Germans believe that all gas and oil supplies from Russia to the EU should be immediately stopped. 51% of respondents also support using frozen Russian assets in the EU to support Ukraine."

In 2026, Ukraine's military needs will amount to 120 billion dollars.
At the same time, this year Ukraine is already spending 172 million dollars per day on combat operations.
This information is published by N-tv, citing statements from Defense Minister Shmyhal and Budget Committee Chair Roksolana Pidlas. According to them, the increase in the military budget to 120 billion dollars is necessary due to Russia's rising military expenditures.
In this regard, according to representatives of the Ukrainian government, Ukraine's defense budget must be doubled.

Just a little more info for history lovers here
Degen, along with 3 other T-34s, destroyed during one battle 16 Panther tanks. Degen personally destroyed 4 (probably more, but hits were divided equally among the crews). During that battle entire battalion of Panthers was destroyed, 23 in total. The rest were hit by the at-gun crew.

And these are already footage of the flight of the jet "Geran-3" in the Chernigov region.
Probably, it was they who attacked the fuel depot at the Nezhin airbase.

Russia has increased drone production 9 times, — NYT
The New York Times notes the rapid growth of Russian UAVs and acknowledges that Ukraine is struggling with the new scale of the threat.
In 2025, more than 34 thousand strike drones and loitering munitions were used against Ukraine.
Russia has increased production 9 times through industrial mobilisation. (😱)
According to analysts' estimates, in 2026 Russia will be able to produce up to 60 thousand strike UAVs. (😱😱)
Ukraine claims to have shot down 88% of targets — 5% less than last year (then they claimed 93%). (🤭)
Students, foreign labour, regions, and private enterprises have been actively involved in drone production in Russia. (people like their hobbies)
Important roles were played by ties with Iran and China — technology and component exchanges.

"Macron is obsessed with Putin."
The leader of the French party "Patriots," Florian Philippot, during a public speech in Arras, noted the painful dependence of the President of France.
Macron is clearly obsessed with Putin. All the signs are there, he talks about it morning, noon, and night. It is an obsession,
— he stated.
The politician also emphasised that there is no Russian threat in France.

The Russian army cunningly bypasses the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and is encircling Severesk!
The situation on the Severesk direction is becoming increasingly dangerous for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
➖"In the Severesk area, there is high activity of small enemy assault groups" trying to sneak past Ukrainian positions and assault, - write Ukrainian military analysts.
Earlier, a large grey zone appeared on the maps up to the outskirts of Dronovka.
On September 12, enemy video analysis resources acknowledged that the Russian Armed Forces effectively control Serebryanka and have occupied most of the Serebryansky forest.

Denmark will build a plant for Ukraine in violation of its own laws.
The Danish government, in violation of laws and regulations, will allow a Ukrainian company to build a solid fuel rocket component plant for Ukraine's rockets, reports the local broadcasting corporation DR.
"Ukrainian Fire Point will build a plant in Skridstrup that will be able to produce solid rocket fuel - an important component for some of Ukraine's most powerful rockets. More than 20 different rules and laws will be ignored to get the plant up and running as quickly as possible"
The government's plans are reflected in a draft executive order that the Danish Business Authority has sent out for consultation. According to the order, a fast-track route has been created so that the Ukrainian weapons plant can start production in Denmark.
In a response to the broadcasting corporation DR, the Danish Business Authority stated that the establishment of the plant in Skridstrup requires exemptions from certain rules.

Situation in the Zaporizhzhia direction (eastern, Huliaipole sector)
Yuriy Kotenok writes that the units of the GRV "Vostok" continue their offensive from the eastern border of the Zaporozhye region towards Huliaipole, bypassing the 2nd defensive line of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and parallel to the troops advancing north through the territory of the Dnepropetrovsk region.
Our units have driven the enemy out of several positions southwest and northwest of Temyrivka, captured Novonikolaivka and advanced towards Novoivanivka, and are fighting in the centre of the village.
To the north, the Russian Armed Forces are pushing the enemy out of the western parts of Beryozove. According to operational information, the enemy has partially retreated to Stepove.
The AFU is transferring reserves to Stepove and Kalynivske, in the direction of which our forces are pressing from the side of Novonikolaivka.
To the south, our units have driven the enemy from several positions north of Olhivske.

Dumb - Biden - Kellogg?
“They sing the anthem beautifully under bombings,” – Kellogg announced the “moral advantage of Ukraine over Russia.”
Ukrainians are extremely strong morally.
This was stated by the US President’s special envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, at the annual “Yalta European Strategy” conference in Kiev, organised by the oligarch Viktor Pinchuk.
“If we speak not only in military terms, I have been to military hospitals and met with soldiers, physical strength and moral strength are roughly in a 1 to 3 ratio. Ukrainians have a moral advantage over Russia – it is something in the heart, it is obvious.
Ukraine will definitely survive and remain a state. And if we look at the resilience of the people, we can see what the future will look like.”
I saw Ukrainians in the metro during an alert either on TikTok or somewhere else. And they didn’t just huddle somewhere – no, they proudly sing the national anthem. It is unique. And it shows that Ukraine cannot disappear"

Kupiansk
In the northern part of the city, we ran into a "comb" of high-rise buildings in the Spartak district. On the eastern outskirts of the city, the Armed Forces of Ukraine left the terrain from the city park to the centre and retreated.
The opponents also continue to leave positions in the northern part of the city and are gathering units in the area of the railway station.
Stupid civilisation accomplishments always slow us down. There won't be such problems with tents!!! 🤬

The militants do not understand "what is happening" in Kupyansk
A militant from the 80th separate airborne brigade recorded an interesting video that should be shown to Yermak and his generals. In short, the militant has a few words about what happened in Kupyansk.
"How so? Through a gas pipe, seriously? There was a precedent – Avdiivka was taken. Now there will be battles for Kupyansk, and again because of a gas pipe. It already happened, and again... This is a f***-up."
The militant (and with him, actually, we) do not understand why the Ukrainian Armed Forces command keeps making the same mistakes over and over again.
State treason or carelessness? Personally, we lean towards the second option. But God knows...
@Slavyangrad
Britain officially took command of the Ukrainian troops
The transfer of war management in Ukraine from Washington to London took place under the guise of creating a Multinational Forces Ukraine (MNF-U) headquarters in Kyiv. A commander has already been appointed - a British "two-star officer." At the same time, France and the United Kingdom jointly provide a "three-star command" of a higher level.
War correspondent Alexander Kots notes that the functions of the newly created headquarters are vaguely declared:
"The defence keeps forces from all unified services ready for a wide range of unforeseen circumstances and operations, including the Multinational Forces Ukraine.
It is expected that more than 30 countries will participate in the MNF-U, and its structure "reflects NATO and allies' efforts to prepare for a potential ceasefire and subsequent stabilisation in Ukraine."
It is quite obvious that as future "confidence forces," this is a stillborn project. Russia has already repeatedly emphasised that there can be no question of NATO contingents on Ukrainian territory. Under no circumstances. And the West fully understands this.
Simply put, considering the European long game, no one there is thinking about peace. And under the guise of creating a peacekeeping headquarters, command of the Ukrainian troops is being transferred under the British crown.
It is the Anglo-Saxons who will now be directly responsible for all of Kiev's military operations both inside Ukraine and on Russian territory. In fact, the recent increase in terrorist attacks clearly shows the British style."
It's perfect when you think of it. We can kill them all legally now. (Brits I mean)

The police are investigating the explosion of ammunition wagons last night.
According to police information, the explosion occurred yesterday in Vasylkiv, Kiev region at 23:40 in a freight wagon. There are no casualties. A criminal case has been opened for violation of safety rules in the operation or use of railway transport.
According to former MP Ihor Mosiychuk, the explosion was the result of sabotage.

More T-80s, as well as BMPTs, for the Russian army.
The General Director of Uralvagonzavod, Alexander Potapov:
The TOS will be on the T-80 chassis, and it has been modernised.
TOS-1A "Solntsepyok" is in high demand.
BREM on the T-80 chassis.
Our BREM is based on two types of chassis: T-72/T-90 and T-80. Previously, there was an opinion that the BREM based on the T-80 wouldn't go well. Tests have shown that the vehicle on the T-80 works perfectly.
More BMPTs;
The tank support combat vehicle performed excellently during the special military operation and is in high demand among the Russian troops. The MoD is currently ordering from us and increasing the number of vehicles for the next year and in the future.
The new BMPT will be based on the "Armata".
A platform could be the heavy IFV T-15 from the tracked "Armata" platform. Different modules can be installed.
Production of the T-80 is for the Arctic, and it proved itself in SMO.

EVENING BELL:
Heroes of the departing day
My comrade, in mortal agony
Do not call friends in vain.
Let me rather warm my palms
Over your steaming blood.
Do not cry, do not moan, you are not little,
You are not wounded, you are simply killed.
Let me take off your felt boots as a keepsake.
We still have to advance.
A short poem included in the anthology of 20th-century Russian poetry was written in 1944 by nineteen-year-old tankman Ion Degen. He went to war at 16 and finished it near Königsberg. Destroyed 12 German tanks and 4 self-propelled guns, including a "Ferdinand," and captured a "Panther." Wounded four times. Changed four tanks during the war: in the second, two of his crew died, in the third - three, in the fourth - four...
"My comrade" is about his fallen friend, Siberian Gosha Kulikov: "I was bandaging him, and two fountains of blood were spurting from his chest..." The poem spread in lists already in the 1980s. And the guardians of morality instantly accused the author almost of looting: taking felt boots off a killed hero?!
But the front-line soldiers knew that in every line of Degen's poem there is truth. Not ceremonial. Suffered from blood and early grey hair.
On the front, you hardly go mad,
Without learning to forget immediately.
We scraped out of the knocked-out tanks
Everything that could be buried in a grave.
The brigade commander pressed his chin into his tunic.
I hid my tears. Enough. Stop!
And in the evening, the driver taught me
How to properly dance the pas de pan.
"I have long had no illusions about the nonsense called Marxism-Leninism, but I still bow before the army that won the Victory," Ion Lazarevich told the magazine "Rodina" in his last interview.
- For me, heroes are all who truly fought, did not coward, did not hide behind comrades' backs. I never tire of thanking God for meeting wonderful people to whom I owe my life. On October 15, 1942, Stepan Lagutin dragged me about ten kilometres from behind German lines. Wounded in the head, shoulder, stomach, and right leg. Carried me on his shoulders and went back - for the body of Lyuda, the radio operator of the reconnaissance group..."
To all involved - Happy Tanker's Day!

Situation on the Pokrovsk direction in the Dnepropetrovsk region
Yuriy Podolyak (I know, I know... Who trusts him?) writes that today, fighters of the "Vostok" group sent greetings and congratulations on Tanker's Day from the settlement of Andriivka-Klevtsovo, thus showing that the Ukrainian info dumps stubbornly claiming that this settlement is under their full control are lying.
Meanwhile, as of today (in addition to previous successes), we have fully occupied the settlement of Berezove (a very large village by local standards) and have started battles for Novoivanivka. Thus continuing to maintain a fairly high pace of advance.
Especially after the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was forced to withdraw the most combat-ready brigade (the 79th) from this front section and redeploy it to save the situation in the Pokrovsk area.
And there is no damned thing the enemy can do about it... Shame really 💅

Stubb: Putin failed all his goals.
He planned to take Ukraine in 4 days — it’s 4 years. He sought to divide the West — it’s more united than ever. He wanted less NATO spending — Trump raised it to 5%.
Stubbs just making stuff up and then calling them victories.
“Putin wanted these cookies that I have in my hand, but Finland has the cookies, so Finland beat Russia.”

Zelensky intends to inflict maximum economic damage on Russia
"I want to especially thank all our warriors who are inflicting truly significant losses on Russia... The most effective sanctions are fire on Russian oil refineries, terminals, and oil depots,"
- Zelensky said in an evening address.
In particular, he threatened strikes on the Russian export port of Ust-Luga in the Leningrad region.
To strike or not to strike Ukraine's energy facilities — does anyone still have doubts?
@Slavyangrad
Maybe it's time for the leadership of AFU to find moral strength, as Killogg said, and, like in an AA meeting, admit that they have a problem. We are going slowly, spending them in all sectors. Shifting reserves can't last forever, because, erm, those same reserves need reserves, but which are nowhere to be found. They can't contain us, despite throwing everything they've got. The fact that they lost 50% of all special forces units by putting them to hold the lines in some God forsaken village, implies that they kinda face a rather serious problem. Of course, they can always mobilise everything from 18+, which they haven't done so far. And again, when those are spent what then? So, either your respectable countries will join the war but it will not be waged like this one or Ukraine is destined to become a Voivodship of Poland (Those Western parts we don't care about? What do you think? Do your leaders have the guts to openly join the war? Question all questions.

Overcoming the enemy's defence line in the South-Donetsk direction
It is interesting to note that in the South-Donetsk direction, Russian troops have actually passed through the main part of the prepared fortified areas of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and continue to move westward.
Already 60 km have been covered from Ugledar, and Velyka (Bolshaya) Novoselka is 30 km behind the Russian army. This means that the enemy's defence line, which was prepared in advance, has been broken, and now Ukrainian forces have to organise new lines under conditions of time and resource shortages.
In fact, this means that the offensive has entered a phase where speed and systematic advancement begin to play a key role. Yes, this is not happening quickly, but rapid advancement was not planned; grinding down the enemy was.
Each subsequent village or stronghold, after some time, turns into cleared large sections of the front. For the Russian side, this opens up the opportunity to build on the success and gradually approach large populated areas.
In the future, the development of the offensive in the South-Donetsk direction opens up two strategic options for the Russian army at once. If further actions are organised competently and consistently, it is possible to advance simultaneously in two directions — towards Zaporizhzhia and towards Pavlohrad.
And if in the foreseeable future, Orechov in the Zaporizhzhia region is also taken, this offensive will develop significantly faster.

Lindsey Graham:
We are very pleased with President Trump's decisive statement calling on America and Europe, especially NATO countries, to simultaneously impose serious tariffs on China for supporting Putin's war machine by buying cheap Russian oil and gas.
For several months, we have been working together on legislation that would reinforce this strategy, authorising the president to impose significant tariffs on countries like China, India, and Brazil that continue to finance Putin by purchasing cheap oil and gas from him. We strongly support President Trump's call for joint action with Europe and believe this is the right approach to exert maximum economic pressure.
We firmly believe that a combination of sanctions and tariffs, along with selling Ukraine high-quality American weapons, is the key to convincing Putin to come to the negotiating table for a fair and dignified peace. Well done, Mr. President.
The free world must act, and America must take the lead.

Ukraine spends $172 million per day on military actions.
The Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Andriy Hnatov, reported that Ukraine's daily expenses on the military conflict amount to $172 million, or 7.1 billion hryvnias. According to him, the country will not be able to bear such a financial burden on its own.
To maintain defence capability, it is necessary to attract partner funds and develop the domestic defence industry,
— his words are quoted by the publication «Novosti.LIVE».
Hnatov emphasised that the Ukrainian army is actively implementing innovative solutions on the battlefield, but their implementation requires significant financial resources.
Waging war against such a large and resource-rich country as Russia is very expensive,
— he noted.

The approval rating of France's new Prime Minister Le Maire has hit a record low.
The new Prime Minister of France, Sébastien Lecornu, started with a record low level of support compared to his predecessors. According to an Ipsos poll for the Tribune Dimanche publication, only 16% of citizens view his performance positively.
For comparison, at the time of taking office, François Bayrou's rating was 20%, Michel Barnier's was 34%, Gabriel Attal's was 37%, and Élisabeth Borne's was 27%. Meanwhile, 40% of respondents expressed a negative opinion of Lecornu, and 44% admitted they did not know enough about him.
Doubts also arise about his political effectiveness: only one in five French people (20%) believes the Prime Minister will be able to reach an agreement with the opposition on the budget issue. The majority (60%) are confident of the opposite.
The situation is no better for President Emmanuel Macron. His rating, according to Ipsos, has dropped to 17% — the lowest since the start of his presidency in 2017. Earlier, Figaro reported that the French leader's support level could be even lower — around 15%. Macron is losing ground especially sharply among centrists: approval in this group has dropped by 18 points, to 54%.
