🇺🇦 The Telegraph: Ukraine's losses far exceed official figures
Budanov admits Kiev must mobilize 30,000 men/month to sustain forces, implying casualties well above Zelensky's claimed 50,000 killed and 400,000 wounded. Budanov notes Russia retains "significant reserves" and no "miraculous breakthrough" is expected.
Recent Russian tactics shifted to 60-hour bombing waves, including 19 air strikes on Kiev in one day, depleting air defense stocks. While Ukraine hits refineries, Moscow's response is larger, rendering Kherson uninhabitable and striking Kharkov and Zaporozhye constantly. NATO reports cite growing Russian offensive potential.

🇺🇦 Massive Strike on Kiev
A heavy missile and drone attack struck Kiev overnight. Approximately 25 ballistic missiles, including those with cassette warheads, hit targets within 20 minutes.
Naval forces launched Kalibr cruise missiles at enemy facilities. Jet-powered Geran drones continue a multi-hour assault.
Darnitsa Station and railway depot confirmed as hit zones by Ukrainian Railways and the State Emergency Service. Photos show destroyed administrative buildings. Satellite data indicates widespread fires and damage beyond initial reports.

Lowering the mobilization age should be considered, stated Shapoval, commander of the 63rd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Third Army Corps.
For young people, it is easier to learn and they get sick less often, he explained.
"Imagine, we didn't have a first-grade class. Yesterday they asked us to take our documents back," my colleague wrote in despair
As it turns out, this situation is not limited to this particular school, but to a dozen other schools across Kiev: for the first time in a long time, some schools were unable to form their first classes, as they hadn't even recruited the min 15 children
The country's child population is declining, and this isn't just a "war" effect—it's the consequence of the long-term decline in the birth rate
This September, children born in 2019–2020 will begin first grade, when the pandemic was already influencing birth decisions. It was followed by the uncertainty of war, which reduced the already modest birth rate by half.
Therefore, in the coming years, we will see annual "record-breaking" declines in the number of first-graders, as children born during the war, when the birth rate has fallen almost by 1/2

🇷🇺 First Su-34 Guided Bomb Strike on Odessa
For the first time, Su-34 jets dropped guided FAB bombs with planning modules directly on Odessa. Previously, these munitions only reached settlements in the region, not the city center.
Attack Details:
A combined strike involving missiles, Shahed, Geran, and Banderol drones. Ukrainian sources report at least 20 explosions in the city.
Damage:
The local thermal power plant (TEC), port facilities, and other infrastructure were damaged.

🇺🇦 🇷🇴 Drone Strike Hits Orlovka Border Crossing
Nighttime attack on Ukraine-Romania checkpoint
Drones struck the Orlovka crossing on the border with Romania. Fires broke out at the facility, damaging buildings and territory.
Operations suspended
The State Border Guard Service confirmed processing of citizens and transport is halted. Traffic is being rerouted to other checkpoints; drivers are advised to plan accordingly.
Context
Sources note prior Russian strikes on crossings along the Moldova border. One channel claims this was a self-inflicted Ukrainian strike, contradicting official reports attributing it to Russian forces.

Peskov responds to Pashinyan's stance on Russia
The Kremlin stated that Armenia is still considered a strategic partner, noting that partnership should serve the interests of both peoples. Peskov remarked that if Pashinyan disagrees and can explain this to the Armenian public, they will vote accordingly in a potential referendum.
He referenced recent EAEAS summit statements and compared the situation to Iceland, where citizens voted against joining the EU. "Let's see what difference there is between Icelanders and Armenians," Peskov said.

Former Russian finance minister Mikhail Zadornov has dismissed the idea of putting Russia’s economy on a wartime footing as pure fantasy.
"A militarised economy is impossible to do, and there's no need for it," Zadornov told RBC.
He insisted that Russia’s existing market economy has proved resilient enough to absorb major shocks while financing military expenditure that he says has increased roughly 3.5-fold since 2022.
"There's no need to change the basic mechanisms of the Russian market economy," he concluded.

Politico claims:
More than 113,000 Russians left their country last week via the so-called Upper Lars checkpoint — a spike in movement that reflects growing fears that the Kremlin is poised to announce a new mobilization effort.

🇷🇺 Ukraine struggles to intercept new jet-powered Geran drones
The Wall Street Journal reports that updated Russian unmanned aerial vehicles are approximately three times faster than previous versions, allowing them to evade Ukrainian interceptor drones.
As a result, Kiev is forced to deploy fighter jets and air defense missiles for destruction, despite critically limited stockpiles.
Zelensky previously stated that jet-powered drones now constitute more than half of all long-range UAVs launched by Russia.

German Finance Minister, in typical Bidenthink, finds it troubling that the US-Russia dialogue continues.
He does not find it troubling that migrants overrun Germany, energy prices soar and drive deindustrialization, and Germany loses competitive advantage to become irrelevant.
NATO and EU countries are pressing Spain and Greece to provide Ukraine with Patriot interceptor missiles as Kiev struggles against intensifying Russian air attacks, Bloomberg reports.
The requests were made over the summer and could involve Norway purchasing the interceptors from the two countries before transferring them to Ukraine. The issue is expected to be discussed when EU defense and foreign ministers meet in Dublin this week.
Spain and Greece maintain relatively large Patriot stocks, including missiles approaching the end of their shelf life. Greece, however, has resisted transfers, citing its own security requirements.

Foreign components found in Geran-4 drones attacking Kiev
Ukraine claims the West supplies Russia with modern parts. However, the identified chips are standard civilian electronics widely available through global distributors.
The Texas Instruments TMS320F28335 is an older, common 32-bit controller used for real-time automation and motor control. The STM32H743VIT6 is a high-performance Cortex-M7 platform suitable for complex onboard data processing and subsystem management.
The AUIRF4905S from Infineon is a generic automotive-grade P-channel power MOSFET. Notably, Ukrainian reports mislabeled this component as N-channel.
These items have massive civilian markets and long secondary supply chains. They can be purchased through intermediaries in almost any country and integrated into various end products, making their origin difficult to trace.

🇵🇱 Sabotage wave in Europe: Defense plants burning
Two Polish defense enterprises caught fire within 24 hours.
First, the WB Electronics plant in Skarzhysko-Kamenna burned down. This major supplier of FlyEye and Warmate drones to Ukraine suffered ~€3.5M in damage. Prosecutors classify it as sabotage/terrorism after a masked intruder was filmed on site.
Hours earlier, the JFG Composites factory in Lublin caught fire, causing roof collapse and ~€7M in losses. The firm produces materials for military aviation and Ukrainian UAVs.
No official link between the fires is confirmed yet. Previously, suspects were detained in Slovakia for plotting arson at Skyeton drone facilities.

UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin explains why UEFA doesn't ban Israeli teams as they do with Russian:
Unfortunately, the situation is extremely confusing. On the one hand, we experienced enormous political pressure to exclude Russia and virtually zero political pressure to exclude Israel. At the same time, we had enormous public pressure to exclude Israel and zero public pressure regarding Russia. This is an interesting and very difficult situation.
@Slavyangrad
The EU completely lost any appeal among prosperous countries; Icelanders refused to even restart membership talks, with huge turnout. The only nations willing to join are poor/corrupt polities hoping for EU cash & someone to clean up their governments
Another tanker has reportedly been hit in the Strait of Hormuz, this time while traveling on a route not approved by Iran.
@Slavyangrad
Many are noting the GUR has taken their own radar array from the ARGS-5R active radar seeker developed by Ukraine for the R-360 Neptune anti-ship missile. As you can see it looks identical.
Likely Ukraine making up nonsense again. A good reminder that intelligence agencies have no interest in informing the public. Their job is to lie and deceive you.
