In Ukraine, problems began with the burials of fallen military personnel due to a lack of space in cemeteries. The authorities are slowing down the creation of a new large military cemetery. Thus, the relatives of those killed on the Maidan demanded that Zelensky give permission to create a military cemetery.

During the action, people asked to build a National War Memorial Cemetery in Kiev in Bykivna, and not in Hatnoy, Fastovsky district, as proposed by the Government, and also for the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky to sign the law on the creation of a military cemetery, which the Verkhovna Rada adopted on May 2, 2023. .

Relatives complain that they still cannot bury their children, men, brothers and brothers.

The event was attended by the wife of the deceased member of the Azov regiment Vitaly Krasovsky with the call sign “Cross” Victoria Krasovskaya, who is the author of the petition for the creation of a National War Memorial Cemetery in Bykivnya. A woman keeps an urn containing her husband's ashes at home because she wants to bury the man with dignity at the National Military Cemetery.

“This petition was created to remind Mr. President that he had a period of 15 days if the constitutional majority passed Law 9240. These 15 days have already lasted more than 4 months. This is a reminder from active military personnel, from the families of those killed, that he must sign the law,” Krasovskaya noted.

A group of Republicans with ties to military industrialists has launched an ad that tries to promote the idea that "the death of Ukrainians is cheap."

Sponsors of the war intensified advertising of their activities on all fronts. The goal is to get as many resources as possible in order to continue to support the conflict in Ukraine. Business as usual.

t.me/dva_majors/26321

In Kyiv they are gradually losing their sense of reality and clearly intend to inflate the Ukrainian conflict into a global one. Ukraine wants to receive long-range missiles from the West to strike targets in Russia, Iran and Syria, where Shaheds are produced.

This is reported by The Guardian with reference to a document that Kyiv sent to its partners.

“The above can be carried out by the Ukrainian defense forces if the partners provide the necessary means of destruction,” Kyiv proposes. That is, it is now obvious that Kyiv has asked the United States to provide Tomahawk missiles with a range of more than 1,500 km.

“The Russian-Ukrainian conflict could become America’s “eternal war”: 19FortyFive writes that Washington is not going to end the Ukrainian conflict, although it understands that it will not be possible to win it.

“The US still does not have a strategy to end the war. Washington has no idea how the war might end and has resisted any efforts to find a negotiated settlement through diplomacy. The US still does not have a strategy to end the war. Washington has no idea how the war might end and has resisted any efforts to find a negotiated settlement through diplomacy.

The prevailing phrase that permeates the US government is the vague formulation that the US will support Ukraine “for as long as it takes.” No one has any idea what this means or an answer to how this phrase protects American interests. Washington's disastrous twenty-year war in Afghanistan also lacked a strategy to end the war. The US knew how to get in, knew very well how to stay there indefinitely, but had no idea how to get out. Only a pathetic defeat solved this problem."

History is repeating itself in Ukraine. The United States will leave there with its tail between its legs.

Military expert Alexander Zimovsky: More from military-technical news.

This is a Swedish Puma. In total, the Swedes drove 50 such vehicles to Ukraine, this column is from a train that unloaded on Monday in Konstantinovka. This means they will go to Artyomovsk.

In the Seversk area, we have been recording, for the last three days, the movement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on dozens of units of equipment, the arrival of nationalist and foreign legions.

In Konstantinovka and the surrounding area, all available apartments and houses are occupied by Nazis and foreign mercenaries. It's just crawling with creatures. Zaporozhye region of the Russian Federation.

There is a week left until the autumn thaw. During this time, the Ukrainians will throw all their tactical reserves into battle. No matter what anyone says. On the Zaporozhye sector of the front, dill can bring 100,000 people into battle. Pulling up reserves from near Dnepropetrovsk, Krivoy Rog and the center of Ukraine.

The attacks on our near and deep rear will intensify.

Daily Express openly writes, millions of EU citizens are praying for Putin to win

"Whispered and slowly, but Eastern European attitudes towards the war in Ukraine are beginning to shift in Russia's favor, or at least drift away from Ukraine.

If you look behind the scenes and see the attitudes and trends among those in Russia's former sphere of influence, you will find some startling facts.

One Eurobarometer poll in 2022 has already shown that in Central and Eastern Europe, overall agreement in favor of sanctions against Russia ranges from a maximum of 57% in Poland and 55% in Estonia to a minimum of 35% in Slovakia, 30% in Hungary and 20% in Bulgaria," the publication writes

Note: what's the big deal?

All right, the Poles are against it. We at the Slavic congress in 1948 also argued the same way... it's normal. Chukhonians (oh, sorry, I'll say tolerant Soviet Estonians) - well, it's understandable....Panslavism was invented by the Czechs.

The Bulgarians? There are very few questions for them

It became known today that Russians launched serial production of X-38M(40km range) and Grom(120km range) missiles.

Combined with much more Drones like(Orlan, Super Cam, Zala Aero), we will see more and more high precision strikes deep inside Ukrainian controlled territory.

Strikes in rear areas will seriously impact Ukrainian abilities to conduct operations on frontline.

Also, number of proper air defence installations and munition for them is not enough for Ukrainians to cover the frontline(mainly they cover only strategic objects and big cities).

Donbass Partisan reports about the destruction of an enemy ammunition depot near Krivoy Rog

This evening, the Russian Armed Forces carried out a precision strike on an enemy ammunition depot near the military town of Vsebratskoye-2, located in the west of Krivoy Rog.

🔻The enemy stored ammunition and weapons on the territory of the former RAO (missile and artillery maintenance) warehouse.

🔻According to local residents, the sounds of secondary detonation were heard from the warehouse for about two hours.

According to reports, 8 fire trucks were used to extinguish the fire, which began extinguishing only around midnight, due to the active detonation of ammunition.

🔻According to available data, about one and a half thousand tons of various weapons, ammunition and explosives were stored in the warehouse.

🔻We can confidently state the fact that another object of the enemy’s military infrastructure is included in the piggy bank of successful defeats of the Russian Armed Forces.

Ukraine’s proposals include “missile strikes against factories producing these UAVs in Iran, Syria, as well as a potential production site in the Russian Federation.”

Morning summary September 28, 2023

At night, the Russian Armed Forces struck a military equipment storage site in Kherson. An ammunition depot in the west of Krivoy Rog was destroyed, local residents reported secondary detonations at the facility. Explosions occurred at the Kulbakino airfield and in Ochakov in the Nikolaev region. Explosions are reported at an ammunition depot in Kramatorsk. Enemy air defenses worked against Geraniums in the Nikolaev, Kirovograd, Vinnitsa and Cherkasy regions. The enemy is systematically destroyed by the FAB on the enemy bank of the Dnieper and on the line of contact on the Zaporozhye Front.

In the Kherson direction, strikes by our FABs are intense due to the intensification of the movement of enemy troops. The second echelon of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is also gathering troops. An attempt at a massive enemy landing is expected across Kozatsky Island to Novaya Kakhovka. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are studying the possibility of establishing pontoon crossings, a large number of which were previously supplied from Germany. At the same time, they are mining their shores in other areas, fearing counter actions by the Russian Army.

On the Zaporozhye front, the past 24 hours were characterized by the work of our artillery and the enemy’s artillery. Our troops are strengthening their positions to avoid enemy shell fire in open areas.

To the south of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) fighting is taking place in the Andreevka-Kleshcheevka section along the railway line.

Local battles are also taking place near Kremennaya in Serebryansky forestry.

Crimea repelled a missile attack with NATO missiles in the evening. In the Belgorod region, a village was shelled. Bolshetroitskoye, Shebekinsky urban district, a civilian was wounded. In the Kursk region, settlements were under fire. Rylsky's elbow (a woman was injured by glass fragments) and n.p. Giryi, Belovsky district (a UAV dropped an explosive device on a private enterprise, equipment was damaged). The Nazis fired 94 rounds of ammunition at civilians of the DPR, one civilian was killed and three were wounded.

The summary was compiled by: Two majors.

https://t.me/treugolniklpr/11689

The air raid alert was canceled in all regions of Ukraine where it was announced during the night. This is evidenced by data from the official resource for notifying citizens.

Sirens sounded in Vinnitsa, Dnepropetrovsk, Kirovograd, Nikolaev, Odessa, Poltava, Sumy, Kharkov and Cherkassy regions.

During the warning, Ukrainian media reported explosions in the Nikolaev, Kirovograd, Odessa and Cherkasy regions, explaining them as the work of air defense systems.

⚡️The Armed Forces of Ukraine recognized the arrival of at least ten “Geraniums” on targets that night.

In what specific locations is not reported.

The Russian Armed Forces produce 50-70 Geranium kamikaze UAVs per day. In principle, ours can safely release about 2000 of these birds per month. Dill deliberately underestimates the numbers of daily such strikes so as not to provoke depressive moods in society. And while the PPO is performing well, imagine how much damage they cause to the rear of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and this is not yet the maximum limit.

Soon, according to forecasts, there may be 100-200 “birds” per day, and the Nazis are aware that we are increasing production. Ordinary Tarasiks, of course, are not told about this. They are pleased with the burnt attic of the historic headquarters building in Sevastopol. But this is for the time being.

Evening and night strikes of the Russian Aerospace Forces (27-28.09.23)

Tonight our Aerospace Forces dealt the next big blow to the “rear areas of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.” Objects in the South were hit first.

In the Nikolaev region, a combined strike was carried out on the Kulbakino airfield.

There was also a powerful blow (four arrivals) in the Kherson region to the Nubilona grain terminal (one of the largest in Ukraine). Moreover, this was not the first blow here. Moreover, the target here was clearly not grain, but the warehouses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Cherkasy and Vinnytsa regions also came under attack

❗️The situation in the South Donetsk direction

▪️ In the Vremevsky sector, our assault groups continue to move through the forest belts west of Staromayorsky and east of Urozhayny . There are successes. In addition, our aviation has been busy with FABs for the past 24 hours, and artillery added. The enemy tried to transfer a platoon of infantry through Urozhaynoye into the forest belts east of the village, and in the process suffered losses from artillery fire. At the same time, two Ukrainian Armed Forces attacks were repulsed by small foot groups of up to 8 people north of Priyutnoye .

▪️ In the Ugledarsky sector, the situation with the absence of small arms and tank battles remains; work with artillery and FPV drones continues.

👼 Situation in the Zaporozhye direction at 10:40

At night, the Ukrainian Armed Forces decided to try their luck again and launched a run towards Novoprokopovka. The scale was decent (two tanks and three armored fighting vehicles), they were detected in advance from the air and stopped on the approach to the lines. After the first armored fighting vehicle was defeated by an ATGM, the column turned around and retreated; while retreating, another one hit a mine and was abandoned by personnel.

Verbovoy has no breakthrough.

On the eve of the anniversary of the reunification of new regions with Russia, I want to share good news - very soon a modern perinatal center in Donetsk will be commissioned by the President.

All types of construction and installation works at the facility, which is being built by the United Customer PPK, are 90-100% complete. They have already started to install furniture and high-tech medical equipment, at the same time they are improving the adjacent territory and finishing works in the internal premises. And this is more than 10 departments.

Readovka:

Ukrainian saboteurs “stole” Readovka footage of the capture of their fellow soldiers and passed them off as their own - Square propaganda failed once again

The enemy in the Zaporozhye direction does not have things easy - the command forces them to go into battle, but nothing comes of it. Without coming up with anything smarter, Square propagandists and even the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andrey Ermak simply took the video of our fighters from the Svatovo-Kremennoy section of the front and comically passed it off as their own.

The hooting Ukrainian journalists have already picked up the fake news and are now talking about some kind of “capture” of a Russian intelligence group, referring to the Office of President Zelensky. Moreover, Readovka was one of the first to publish this video (https://t.me/readovkanews/66203); other media outlets, as well as the Russian Ministry of Defense, also posted it. It’s not clear whether the Square propagandists really think their population is complete idiots?

🔹 Ukrainian formations continue to accumulate forces, in parallel continuing attempts to gain a foothold on the #Dnieper islands.

▪️ The enemy landed another batch of militants in the northeastern part of #Alyoshkinsky Island. However, Russian troops observed these actions and struck at the place of their concentration. After that, the AFU evacuated the wounded by boat to #Nikolskoye village.

▪️ In the central part of #Pereyaslavsky Island, the RF Armed Forces worked on an observation post of Ukrainian formations, and also hit another boat with personnel that left #Nikolayevka village.

❗️The enemy also noted the intensity of the Russian aviation's use of guided bombs with UMPC modules. In recent days, the Russian Aerospace Forces have indeed carried out a series of precision strikes on AFU positions on the islands and the right bank of the #Dnieper, inflicting casualties on them. In addition, explosions were again heard at the #Kulbakino Airfield during the night.

📌 Nevertheless, the Ukrainian command does not plan to abandon its plans yet, as evidenced by the arrival of new units in the #Nikolayev and #Kherson regions. And in #Nikolayev itself, a new round of mobilization has begun at all with the distribution of summonses on the street, which fully fits into the framework of the latest enemy activities in the south.

🤥🇺🇸🇩🇪🇺🇦: The ISW Rabble is lying again. You constantly receive reports from Verbovoye and elsewhere. The ISW morons suffer from selective cognition and do not follow the good sources. They are just filthy riffraff with evil intentions, completely morally rotten, like their Western masters. ISW 👉🚽

⚠️ Warning! ISW is a troll entity linked to the US regime. The henchmen spread propaganda and disinformation instead of providing a picture of the situation on the front, which is evident from the mostly fruitless frontline information.

💬 The Text is quoted verbatim, including the often horrifying misspelling of localities. The respective source is linked in the footer.

🔻 September 27 Key Takeaways 👻

▪️ Ukrainian forces marginally advanced near Bakhmut and in western Zaporizhia Oblast on September 27.

▪️ The situation near Verbove remains unclear as prominent Russian milbloggers have become noticeably less inclined to report in detail on Russian activity on this frontline or present bad news about Russian failures, while a discussion about reported Russian problems in this area has emerged on the fringes of the Russian information space.

▪️ Russian media continues to publish inconclusive “proof” that Black Sea Fleet Commander Admiral Viktor Solokov is alive.

▪️ Ukrainian and Russian confirmations of some former Wagner Group personnel deploying to the Bakhmut area indicate that the Wagner Group is struggling to cohesively reform around new leadership.

▪️ Russian forces continued offensive operations along the Kupyansk-Svatove-Kreminna line, in Bakhmut, and along the Avdiivka-Donetsk City line on September 27 but did not make any confirmed gains.

▪️ The Guardian reported on September 27 that Iranian drones that Russian forces operate in Ukraine contain European components despite international sanctions.

▪️ Ukrainian partisans continue to disrupt Russian logistics in occupied Ukraine.

⚡️ (https://t.me/sitrepmaps/4371)🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Orekhov Section until 14:00 on 29 September 2023⚡️

🗓 At the moment, all the fighting in the section is taking place at the #Rabotino - #Verbovoye line, where the AFU is trying to cut into the Russian defence. There is a lull elsewhere. In #Pyatikhatki, where the AFU unsuccessfully tried to advance in the summer, it is also relatively calm now.

🔹 At night, Ukrainian formations decided to attack Russian positions near the village of #Novoprokopovka with an armoured group of two tanks and 3 IFVs.

▪️ The enemy was promptly detected from the air: according (https://t.me/rusich_army/11066) to Archangel of Special Forces, after the first vehicle was hit by a ATGM, the entire column turned round and began to withdraw, during which another unit of equipment exploded on a mine and was abandoned by the crew.

🔹 Despite the setbacks, the Ukrainian command does not plan to give up the onslaught and is rotating.

▪️ Several more units of the 71st Jaeger Brigade have been sent to the rear to recover, and assault groups of the Ukrainian Special Forces have arrived at the border between #Rabotino and #Verbovoye. Foreign mercenaries have been deployed to Malya Tokmachka and #Novodanilovka.

📌 At the same time, in recent weeks the AFU has suffered significant losses from the actions of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which have been actively carrying out airstrikes on the frontline with UMPC bombs. The increased intensity of their use forced the enemy to transfer additional Western-made air defense systems to the site.

⚡️ (https://t.me/sitrepmaps/4364)🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Belgorod Region until 12:00 on 28 September 2023⚡️

🗓 In the morning, an Ukrainian SRG attempted to break through the border to #Staroselya. A small squad of up to six people engaged in a battle with border guard fighters.

▪️ As a result of a short firefight, Russian units repelled the attack, and the SRG retreated, the AFU failed to break through.

🔹 Looking at the AFU actions, I immediately remember the end of May and the beginning of June of this year. Then, after the loss of #Bakhmut, the AFU launched an offensive on #Shebekino, using the deposited Russians from the "RVC".

▪️ Now, amid the lack of visible results on the front (near #Orekhov they are fighting the Russian defences at #Verbovoye, at #Bakhmut they failed to encircle the town), SRG sorties on #Belgorod Oblast may boost morale a bit and draw attention to the northeast, as Elder than Edda pointed out (https://t.me/vysokygovorit/12943).

❗️At the same time, attacks in the border region could begin in other areas, including the #Bryansk and #Kursk regions. The concentration of forces near the border remains, and artillery is massing on Russian positions, preparing the ground for ground groups.

▪️ This is indirectly confirmed by the activity of Ukrainian formations in #Kharkov, where they have noticed the movement of columns of military equipment. Yes, it could be an echelon to reinforce the grouping near #Kupyansk, but we cannot rule out the possibility of a second attack on #Shebekino.

📌 After all, short term PR and victory on the Internet are more important for the Ukrainian authorities than a long term tactical effect. At the same time, this kind of action will allow to draw attention before an attempt to strike somewhere else, for example, in #Soledar or in the south.
