Ex-NATO commander: ‘Putin is becoming quite desperate'
BLUF:
[The Hill] He said the world has heard Putin threaten to use nuclear weapons for the past decade, but the Russian president is not serious because he knows that even Russia’s allies, China and Iran, would turn against him.

"No one is going to support a Russia that uses nuclear weapons," Stavridis said.

He also said the annexation referendums in the Ukrainian territory that Russia has captured that Putin expressed support for in his speech are "nonsense" and no one will recognize the territories are part of Russia.

Stavridis additionally said Putin’s plan to implement a partial mobilization of up to 300,000 military reservists is flawed because "no one wants to be drafted."

#1  Gotta love a four-star who improperly use MilAir and made fishy TDY claims.

The best one was his junket to France to be part of this "brotherhood" (almost something out of Monty Python):

"Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin translates from French to English as “The Brotherhood of Knights of Wine Tasting Cups.” Its original name, in the 18th century, was the “Order of the Drink.”"

#3  "no one wants to be drafted."

No shit.

But it does work if you have a good logistical support for the drafted and a good program to quickly indoctrinate them into the military. See the Draft, USA version.

The Russians do not have the above which is why it will fail.

#5  I don't believe that Stavridis is willing to risk nuclear war because of a minor border dispute between Ukraine and Russia. He and his NATO/globalist colleagues must have much bigger plans. They don't seem to mind that this is the first time NATO has used violence to force their expansion into a country.

The Ukrainian General Behind Putin's Defeats
[CEPA] When Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy returned to Kyiv after touring the newly liberated Kharkiv region last week, he addressed the nation to praise the "warriors" who had forced the Russians into a panicked retreat.

As news of the extent and success of the counteroffensive echoed around the world, he singled out by name just one man among the thousands in Ukraine’s armed forces who had helped destroy the myth of an undefeatable Russian army.

"I am grateful to Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrsky and the officers of his staff — everyone who planned and successfully conducted the military operation to liberate the Kharkiv region," Zelenskyy said. "Ukrainians once again managed to do what many considered impossible."

The Russians had met their match in the shape of motivated Ukrainian forces, Western weapons, and a commander who once trained in Moscow as a recruit to the army of the Soviet Union. They were up against a general who not only knew the tactics his opponents had learned at school (which is common among officers of his generation), but already had the experience of fighting their proxies in eastern Ukraine.

Described as "bookish and pensive" by the Washington Post, Syrsky started his career in a Soviet motorized rifle brigade in 1986 after training at the Higher Combined Arms Command School in the Russian capital. Since then he has gradually made his way up the ladder.

This included postings as chief of staff to the first deputy commander of the 72nd Mechanized Division of the 8th Army Corps, which he then headed. Between 2007 and 2014 Syrsky occupied several high-profile positions in the General Staff of Ukraine.

When Russia first attacked Ukraine in 2014 he was appointed as deputy commander of the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO), putting him into direct combat with Russia’s forces and its locally recruited puppet units in the east of the country, and in 2017 he took over command. In 2019 he became head of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the post he still holds.

Following the full-scale February invasion, it was Syrsky who criminal masterminded the defense of Kyiv — overcoming his initial surprise that Russia’s forces would make a direct attempt on the Ukrainian capital. He expected the invasion to start in the separatist quasi-republics of Luhansk and Donetsk in the east and not to unfold from several destinations simultaneously, he told the Washington Post, assuming the aggressor would understand the capital was too tough to take.

Nevertheless, when the invasion began, Syrsky navigated the situation quickly and skillfully, employing a two-circle defense of Kyiv and locating the circles as far apart as possible in order to protect the city against artillery strikes. "We’re the military," the colonel-general told the newspaper matter-of-factly. "Regardless of what I believed or didn’t believe, how it all seemed, I still carried out the activities required."

By using the tactic of "corrosion", Ukrainian forces under Syrsky’s command managed to fracture the invading army’s supply chains as well as successfully striking its frontline troops and equipment. Having successfully degraded the Russian forces, both mentally and materially, he left them with no choice but to retreat.

While a good supply of modern weaponry and the bravery of Ukraine’s soldiers has undoubtedly helped to tip the balance, Syrsky’s history-making counter-offensive in Kharkiv has also come from his departure from post-Soviet tactics and the adaptation to a more flexible and Western-influenced approach to warfare.

Alongside a nimble approach to tactics and the skillful use of surprise and deception, he has recognized the central importance of morale and motivation, constantly keeping in touch with soldiers on the battlefield and in hospitals, and ensuring he is seen joining them on the frontline.

Having spent months establishing control over strategically important cities like Izyum and Balakliya, Russian forces left them in panic in just days as the counter-offensive gained momentum. According to Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have liberated 388 cities and villages since the beginning of September, some 8,500 square km (3,282 sq miles) of territory.

General Staff: Russia sends newly mobilized conscripts directly to frontline



That’s one way to get rid of excess population, except that Russia can’t spare the fathers of the next generation.

#1  Russian former military active service. It is Ukrainians sending inexperienced as fodder to hold onto positions as long as possible. Here 17 year olds being contacted especially if parents have served. As I have talked to these parents. Grandparents ready and willing to go having served. Media playing their tricks as usual. We have sent so much money and equipment our services are suffering. Spare parts also. Biden still sending our strategic national oil reserves(currently 40 year low).

#5  Thanks for your honest insights, Dale. Me, I just know whatever 'orrible animal Russia is narrated to be is all the European supranation and the Globalist cabal's doing. Sure, they have their failings, and they have often been covertly hostile to 'American interests', but all those American interests were only preached by Washington to be so. What American really wanted to plant Democracy in the Stans or cause instability in Syria?

I think only Trump understood the importance of tough sovereign entities as a bulwark against expanding Globalist power. And he would've talked everyone out of it by saying he won't support a NATO that chooses to get involved. Case would've been closed. Zelensky would've just let Vlad have his Donbass and everything would be over. And thousand of lives wouldn't have been lost. What is happening now puts the entire world at risk of MAD. The idiots sitting in NY and Brussels think the man has been bluffing because he hasn't rained down WMDs on Ukraine. That's because he is convinced a conventional solution may be helped by the weather maybe. The globalists think Ukr can be used to destroy Russia piecemeal. They may be right. But before it goes it will gift them death.

Commissariats of Russia work around the clock - summary of the Ukrainian General Staff
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Vesti] The threat of air and missile strikes throughout Ukraine remains

Russian troops continue to focus their efforts on attempts to completely occupy the Donetsk region and the maintenance of the occupied territories, as well as disrupting the active operations of the defense forces in certain areas. This is stated in the operational summary of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of 18:00 Sunday, September 25, 2022.

The occupiers are shelling the positions of our troops along the line of confrontation, are conducting aerial reconnaissance, and are trying to restore lost positions in certain directions.

The Russian army continues to strike at civilian infrastructure and peaceful residential areas. The threat of air and missile strikes throughout Ukraine remains.

During the day, the invaders launched 4 missile and 7 air strikes, carried out more than 24 attacks with MLRS on military and civilian targets on the territory of Ukraine, violating the norms of international humanitarian law, the laws and customs of warfare.

More than 35 settlements suffered from enemy fire. Among them are Kupyansk, Belogorovka, Controversial, Bakhmutskoye, Bakhmut, New York, Krasnogorovka, Kurakhovo, Novomikhailovka, Pavlovka, Zaporozhye, Vladimirovskoye, Ochakov, Nikolaev, Mirolyubovka, Novovoznesenskoye, Dry Pond and Odessa. In the Volyn and Polesye directions, the situation has not changed significantly.

In other directions, the enemy fired from tanks, mortars and cannon artillery:

in the Seversky direction - in the areas of the settlements of Guta-Studenetska and Bleshnya of the Chernihiv region and Bachevsk, Shalygino and Seredina Buda of the Sumy region;

in the Slobozhansky direction - in the areas of the settlements of Strelka, Guryev Kazachok, Stognia, Udy, Veterinary and Kupyansk;
in the Kramatorsk direction - Slavyansk, Korovoi Yar, Bogorodichnoe, Yarovaya, Prishib and Ozernoe;

in the Bakhmut direction - Soledar, Bakhmut, Bakhmutskoye, Odradovka, Zaitsevo, Experimental, Yakovlevka, New York, Mayorsk, Nelipovka, Yuryevka, Vyemka, Belogorovka, Razdolovka, Controversial, Veseloe and Verkhnekamenskoye;

in the Avdeevka direction - Avdeevka, Opytnoe, Pervomaiskoye, Vodyanoye, Krasnogorovka, Novomikhailovka, Maryinka and Praskovievka;

in the Novopavlovsk and Zaporozhye directions, 18 settlements were subjected to shelling, in particular, Nikolskoye, Ugledar, Prechistovka, Zolotaya Niva, Bolshaya Novoselka, Novomayorskoye, Vremovka, Pavlovka, Zheleznodorozhnoye, Shevchenko, Belogorye, Poltavka, Novoselka, Novopol, Temirovka, Vremovka, Krasnoye and Olgovskoe;

in the Yuzhnobugsky direction, more than 38 settlements, not far from the collision line, suffered from artillery and mortar shelling. In particular, Novovoznesenskoye, Arkhangelskoye, Dry Pond, Pervomayskoye, Manganets and Nikopol.

In order to conduct reconnaissance, adjust fire and strike at civilian infrastructure facilities, the enemy made up to 60 UAV sorties.

In connection with the partial mobilization announced by the Russian military-political leadership, since September 22, the military commissariats of the Russian Federation have been working around the clock. Persons who try to evade mobilization are threatened with criminal liability.

In the city of Sevastopol in the temporarily occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea, about a thousand summonses were handed to men of military age. Representatives of the occupying troops assure the mobilized personnel that their service will take place in the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region until the expiration of the so-called "special operation".

The command of the Russian occupation troops sends newly arrived military personnel without training to resupply the units that have suffered losses directly to the line of confrontation. This has a significant impact on the decrease in the level of the morale and psychological state of enemy servicemen and the quality of their performance of duties.

Once again, the skill of our artillery soldiers has been confirmed. During September 24 of the current year, as a result of fire impact on enemy targets in the temporarily occupied territory of the Zaporozhye region, about 10 units of weapons and military equipment of the enemy were destroyed in the area of ​​​​the settlement of Gulyaipole, as well as one S-300 air defense system with ammunition near the city of Tokmak.

During the day, units of the Defense Forces repelled enemy attacks in the areas of the settlements of Soledar, Vyimka, Kurdyumovka, Zaitsevo, Novomikhailovka, Pervomayskoye and Pavlovka.

To support the actions of ground groupings, aviation of the Ukrainian Defense Forces delivered 21 strikes. The defeat of 14 areas of concentration of manpower and military equipment of the enemy and 7 positions of anti-aircraft missile systems was confirmed. In addition, air defense units in different directions destroyed 2 UAVs of the Russian army.

During the current day, missile troops and artillery hit 6 command posts, 11 areas of concentration of enemy manpower and equipment, 2 positions of anti-aircraft missile systems, 3 missile and artillery units, 6 ammunition depots, as well as 8 separate important targets.

Ukrainian Perspective: Invasion of Ukraine: September 25th, 2022
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrespondent] 23:20 The "authorities" of the occupied Nova Kakhovka reported that the city was being shelled, the air defense was supposedly working, four explosions were heard, the power went out in the city.

23:16 Zelensky, in his evening address, announced positive results in several directions of the front: "Tough fighting is taking place in many sectors of the front with a total length of more than 2,000 kilometers - these are Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kherson, as well as Mykolaiv and Zaporozhye regions. In several directions, we have positive results. And no matter what happens this week in Russia, no matter what steps the terrorist state plans - political or military - the tasks of Ukraine cannot change. We are fighting for life and freedom for all Ukrainians."

23:03 Zelensky said in an evening video message that Russia is using mobilization not only to continue the suffering of people in Ukraine and further destabilize the world, but also to physically destroy indigenous men living in Russian-controlled territories: "The catastrophic situation in the occupied Crimea. The information about the Crimean Tatar people is fully confirmed - most of the mobilization agendas are written there for kyrymly. This is another element of Russia's genocidal policy, another reason for the immediate and harsh reaction of the world. The same thing is happening on the territory of Russia itself. This is a calculated imperial policy. This is a blow to peoples, for example, Dagestan and the entire Caucasus, to the indigenous peoples of Siberia and other territories."

The President again urged Russians not to submit to criminal mobilization - to flee or surrender to Ukrainian captivity at the first opportunity: "The more Russian citizens at least try to protect their own lives, the sooner this criminal war for Russia will end."

22:26 Two more mass graves were found in Izyum. Thus, near this city there are at least three mass graves with victims of the invaders, Zelensky said in an interview with CBS: “Today I received additional information. We found two more mass graves, large graves with hundreds of people. We are talking about the small town of Izyum, you do you know? There are two more mass graves in a small town."

21:22 Zelensky, in an interview with CBS, admitted that the nuclear threat from the Russian Federation could become a reality: "Maybe yesterday it was a bluff. Now it can become a reality." In particular, the president recalled the constant shelling of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, as well as attacks on the South Ukrainian nuclear power plant: “The missile hit an area located 300 meters from the nuclear power plant. The nuclear power plant lost all windows, doors ... So he [Putin] wants to scare the peace. These are the first steps of his nuclear blackmail. I don't think he's bluffing."

21:16 Georgia plans to close the borders for Russian men from tomorrow, Georgian MP Nona Mamulashvili said: "Unfortunately, the citizens of the Russian Federation do not have the courage to protest and change their regime. It is better for them to flee to countries where they will feel more comfortable."

21:08 A "Ukrainian saboteur" was killed in an explosion in a car in Melitopol, local "authorities" said. According to them, the cause of the explosion was "careless handling of an explosive device."

20:41 In the Rostov region, men of military age are officially prohibited from traveling abroad without the permission of the military registration and enlistment office, military commissar Igor Yegorov said at a briefing.

20:20 The United States will announce new sanctions against Russia in the coming days in response to "referendums" in the occupied territories of Ukraine, US national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in an interview with NBC television. According to him, the actions of the Russian Federation "will only redouble our efforts to provide Ukraine with weapons and military equipment." The US authorities will continue to facilitate the supply of Soviet-era tanks from other NATO countries, as well as other weapons, to Ukraine, Sullivan concluded.

19:48 Zelensky said in an interview with CBS that Ukraine received NASAMS air defense systems. He thanked Congress and Biden for providing two batteries of this air defense system, but admitted that this is not enough: “Believe me, this is not even close to enough to cover civilian infrastructure, schools, hospitals, universities, Ukrainian homes. Why do we need this? We need security to bring our Ukrainians home. If it is safe, they will come, settle down, work here and pay taxes, and then we will not have a deficit of $ 5 billion in our budget. So this will be positive for everyone. Because on Today, the United States is giving us $1.5 billion a month to support our budget for this war."

19:42 The Russian command sends the newly arrived soldiers to mobilize without training directly to the collision line to resupply the affected units, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports.

19:40 The Russians fired two S-300 missiles at Kramatorsk - hospitals, apartment buildings and garages were damaged, there were no casualties, Mayor Alexander Goncharenko said.

19:36 The Biden administration told Moscow that any use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine would have "catastrophic consequences" for Russia, US national security adviser Jake Sullivan said: "We told the Kremlin directly, privately at a very high level that any use of nuclear weapons would be disastrous for Russia, that the United States and our allies would respond strongly, and we have been clear and specific about what that would entail."

19:23 Britain and its allies will not succumb to Putin's threats, said Liz Truss: "We should not listen to his saber-rattling and far-fetched threats. Instead, we need to continue to impose sanctions against Russia and support the Ukrainians."

19:20 The United States does not intend to dictate Russian policy, Biden's national security aide Jake Sullivan said in an interview with ABC: "U.S. President Biden intends to focus on how to provide Ukraine with a better position. The Russians themselves determine the future of Russia. The future of Russian policy will not be dictated in Washington , not by anyone in Europe, but by Russians within the country."

19:17 Germany does not send tanks to Ukraine for fear of an escalation of the conflict between Russia and NATO, Scholz said in an interview with The Times: "This is a very dangerous war. We support Ukraine. We do it in such a way as not to bring the situation to a state of war between Russia and NATO, because that would be a disaster."

18:29 In the northern part of Melitopol, along Lomonosov Street, a powerful explosion thundered. According to Mayor Ivan Fedorov, at least one car burned down completely.

18:06 About 2,500 Ukrainians remain in Russian captivity, many of them are women, Deputy Prime Minister Irina Vereshchuk said in an interview with the BBC: "People remain in captivity, and worst of all, civilians remain there. For several exchanges in a row, civilians are not released "We must put the question squarely and demand the release of civilians. Civilians must be returned, not exchanged."

17:12 In Shchastya, a "polling station" was set on fire, enemy barracks were blown up in Mankivka, Svatovsky district, a collaborator farmer was injured, and an enemy warehouse was blown up in Alchevsk, said the head of the Luhansk OVA Serhiy Gaidai. He also said that in Starobelsk they "vote" in the bushes near the shops: "It is easy to find bushes, because a handwritten sign "vote here" and a man with a machine gun inform about this."

16:56 Air defense shot down Iranian-made kamikaze drone Shahed-136, with which the Russians tried to attack Nikolaev, OK Pivden reported.

16:48 A chatbot has been created in Ukraine to help mobilized Russians surrender: https://t.me/spasisebyabot

The Coordinating Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War also provides contact numbers to which popular instant messengers are linked: +38 066 580 34 98; +38 093 119 29 84

16:19 "Authorities" of Kherson said that Ukrainian troops attacked the Antonovsky bridge.

15:17 The media write that rallies against mobilization have begun in Dagestan , the police are shooting into the air to calm the protesters.

14:52 Aksyonov said that in Crimea the plan for conscription within the framework of "partial mobilization" has been fully implemented.

14:35 One of the Israeli defense companies will supply Ukraine with protection systems against drones, writes The Times of Israel. According to the publication, deliveries will be made through Poland. In particular, we are talking about anti-drones capable of withstanding Iranian UAVs.

13:49 Serbian Foreign Minister Nikola Selakovich said that Belgrade does not recognize the results of "referendums" on joining the occupied Ukrainian territories to Russia: "The Republic of Serbia, in accordance with the UN Charter, as well as in accordance with generally accepted principles and norms of international law, cannot accept results of the referendum in the Ukrainian regions".

12:51 In occupied Berdyansk, an improvised explosive device went off near the administration building, there were no casualties, local "authorities" reported. According to local publics, a car exploded near the headquarters of the organization We are together with Russia . They were going to open a "referendum" station there today.

12:04 Podolyak commented on the next threats of Lavrov, who said that after the "referenda" and joining the Russian Federation, the occupied Ukrainian territories, Russia will be able to defend, including with the help of nuclear weapons: "The veiled threats of nuclear weapons from the UN rostrum from a member of the UN Security Council - You can't imagine a greater mockery of global institutions. Russia's nuclear threats are not a problem for Ukraine, but for the whole world. Members of the Nuclear Club must outline the consequences for Russia. Pandora's box must be closed."

11:56 OK Pivden speaker Natalya Gumenyuk spoke about Iranian drones: "Drones are controlled and often change direction during an attack. Now our troops are studying the enemy's tactics in using this weapon. The occupiers' combat tricks will be unraveled. Tactical and technical characteristics have not yet been fully studied "because there is conflicting data on how far they can be directed. This is currently being studied. I think that in the near future we will inform and orient everyone." She added that Russian troops may not launch drones in all regions due to limited flight range.

10:47 Ukrainian forces, with the help of the American Stinger MANPADS, shot down a Russian Su-30 fighter today, Reznikov said: "Ten months ago in Washington, I asked for Stingers for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and heard in response that it was" impossible. "Many times. Today, the Russian Su-30 30 was shot down by a Stinger in the Kharkiv region. So the impossible is actually possible."

10:34 British intelligence believes that there is a real possibility of mobilization to strengthen the units of the National Guard with additional forces. The units of the Russian Guard have played an important role in both the combat and rear guard of Ukraine and are currently facilitating the holding of "referendums" in the occupied territories. The National Guard is likely to be under a special strain due to the need to suppress growing internal dissent in Russia, as well as to carry out operational tasks in Ukraine, analysts say.

09:49 The General Staff announced the approximate losses of the enemy on the morning of September 25. The enemy suffered the greatest losses in the Kramatorsk and Donetsk directions.

  • personnel - about 56,700 (+400) people liquidated,

09:44 At night, the invaders again launched rocket attacks on Nikolaev, residential buildings were damaged, there is a hit in the water supply network. The enemy also launched rocket attacks on the coastal zone of the city of Ochakov, there were no casualties, said the head of the UVA, Vitaly Kim.

09:42 In the Dnipropetrovsk region, the enemy fired more than 170 shells from Gradov and cannon artillery during the night at three communities in the Nikopol region - Krasnogrigoryevskaya, Nikopol and Marganetskaya. In a number of settlements there is no electricity. Previously, there were no dead or wounded, said the head of the OVA, Valentin Reznichenko.

09:38 In the Donetsk region over the past day, as a result of Russian shelling, two civilians were killed - in Bakhmut. Eight more people were injured, Pavel Kirilenko, head of the OVA, said.

09:12 Russian media write that allegedly Ukrainian troops attacked a hotel in the center of Kherson, two people were killed. One of the dead, according to preliminary data, is the ex-deputy of the Rada from the Party of Regions, collaborator Alexei Zhuravko.

08:24 The enemy attacked Odessa with kamikaze drones. Three strikes were recorded on the administrative building in the city center. There is a rescue operation and fire extinguishing, there are no human losses. One drone was shot down by air defense forces, OVA spokesman Serhiy Bratchuk said.

07:45 During the day, units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine repelled enemy attacks in the areas of the settlements of Soledar, Vyemka, Kurdyumovka, Zaitsevo, Novomikhailovka and Pervomayskoye. Ukrainian aviation inflicted 26 strikes - the defeat of 20 areas of concentration of enemy manpower and military equipment and six positions of anti-aircraft missile systems was confirmed, the General Staff said in a morning report .

06:11 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that Russia is preparing for the forced mobilization of Ukrainian prisoners of war in violation of the Geneva Convention. With regard to partial mobilization in Russia, according to experts, the responsibility for it looks uneven and complex, which probably contributes to confusion, disorganization and violations of obligations. ISW also suggests that reports of indiscriminate subpoenas indicate that military commissars are under significant pressure to mobilize as soon as possible. However, the military commissars most likely work for the heads of the federal subjects, and not directly for the Ministry of Defense, which makes both responsible for mobilization and creates a possible discrepancy between them and the Ministry of Defense.

In addition, the constant rotation of the top Russian military leadership indicates that Putin has systemic problems as a result of personal mistakes of top subordinates, ISW experts say.

According to analysts, Ukrainian forces likely continued to make gains along the Kharkiv-Luhansk border and northwest of Liman. And the Ukrainian blockade campaign in southern Ukraine is weakening Russia's combat capabilities.

01:43 The Russians inflicted regular blows on Zaporozhye. Enemy missile strikes were recorded in several districts of the city and village near the regional center in the Zaporozhye region at once. Currently, three people are known to have been injured, and infrastructure facilities have been damaged. An electrical substation has been de-energized in one of the districts, said Alexander Starukh, head of the OVA.

At 22:45 four air explosions were recorded. “Air defense is working,” the administration said. The power supply has been cut off in the city.

19:50 Car explosion in Melitopol: what is known at the moment.

▪️At about 5:15 pm, a car exploded on Lomonosov Street.

▪️The force of the explosion was so powerful that the foreign car was torn into two parts, and the ammunition detonated for some time.

▪️A citizen of Ukraine died. A certificate of registration of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was found with him, money was scattered on the spot.


Presumably, the man was a saboteur who was preparing a terrorist attack, and died due to careless handling of an explosive device.

However, the investigation is considering other versions, the city authorities said.

17:56 A car was blown up in Melitopol, information about the victims is being specified - the authorities of the region

It is reported that a loud explosion was heard in the area of ​​​​Lomonosov Street - a car was blown up there. Law enforcement agencies went to the scene to conduct investigative measures, the administration specified.

16:31 Ukrainian troops attacked the Antonovsky bridge in Kherson, preliminary, there were no casualties - a representative of the emergency services of the city.

16:12 About 20 powerful explosions thundered in Kherson, preliminary air defense is working.

14:29 The Russian military prevented the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant with eight kamikaze drones.

Rocket strikes killed about 100 militants near the city of Zaporozhye and up to 50 militants in the Anikeevka area, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.

14:24 Another explosion thundered in Berdyansk, the details are being investigated, Rogov said.

08:27 Zelensky's office, in response to partial mobilization in the Russian Federation, will increase mobilization in Ukraine and grab everyone, so Zelensky banned students from foreign universities from leaving the country. Arestovich began to gently warm up the society, but let's say right away, it turned out badly.

“5.5 million Ukrainians can be mobilized, we are still a country of 40 million, we will call on a million if anything,” Arestovich said.

It has already caused a negative reaction. It is expected that Bankovaya may publicly deny this, but in reality it will be as Arestovich said. Everyone will be grabbed and dragged into the army.

08:18 In Ukraine, another mercenary of the "International Legion" has been destroyed. The Russian military destroyed the mercenary Yevgeny Brakha. Brach served five years in the "Foreign Legion" of France. The circumstances of his death are still unknown.

08:12 The Kyiv authorities are developing "several scenarios of a suicidal attack" on the Zaporozhye region, one of them involves forcing the Dnieper. This was stated by a member of the State Administration of Zaporozhye region Vladimir Rogov. He claims that such plans are developed under the supervision of the Pentagon.

08:02 Ukrainian sources report at least three strikes by Russian kamikaze drones on APU facilities in Odessa.

According to preliminary data, several arrivals occurred in the area of ​​​​the building of the regional administration and the headquarters of the "South" command.
