Worth noting, korrespondent.net has compiled its Invasion of Ukraine series into separate months, beginning May 9th, 2023. Linked in the title.
[Korrespondent] 22:12 Head of the Presidential Office Andrey Yermak commented on Putin's statements about the use of nuclear weapons: "Besides nuclear blackmail, there is nothing else in the Russian Federation, no other instruments for intimidating the world. These instruments will not work."
22:01 Polish President Andrzej Duda stated at a meeting of the UN General Assembly that there is a danger of Russia striking Ukrainian nuclear power plants, and if Russia attacks Ukrainian nuclear power plants, it will be necessary to intervene immediately.
21:47 France will train and equip a Ukrainian brigade, Zelensky said following a meeting with Macron. The parties also discussed the needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, strengthening the Ukrainian air defense system, and training the military. In addition, Zelensky discussed with European Council President Charles Michel the use of income from frozen Russian assets and Ukraine's military needs.
21:04 Ukraine has proposed that Northern European countries prepare one battalion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces each. Northern European countries have been offered to join the Northern Brigade project, the Defense Ministry reported.
20:55 Putin stated that the new nuclear strategy of the Russian Federation will include the possibility of using nuclear weapons in the event of "aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear state. It is proposed to consider such a case as their joint attack on the Russian Federation." Putin also stated that a "critical threat" to Russia's sovereignty created by conventional weapons will be the basis for a nuclear response.
"Reliable information" about the launch of air and space attack weapons, as well as UAVs, towards the Russian Federation will also "entail a nuclear response." In addition, according to Putin, the Russian Federation reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression against Belarus.
19:23 In Kramatorsk, Donetsk region, as a result of a Russian strike, the number of wounded has increased to 19, two people have died, reported the head of the OVA Vadim Filashkin.
18:16 Zelensky criticized China and Brazil at the UN General Assembly for proposing to stop the war along the front lines: "If someone in the world is looking for an alternative to any of these points [of the peace formula] or is trying to ignore any of them, this most likely means that they themselves want to do part of what Putin is doing. And when China and Brazil are trying to turn into a chorus of voices with someone in Europe, with someone in Africa, who are saying something alternative to a full and fair peace, the question arises: what is the true interest?"
He also criticized all other proposals to stop the war along the front lines: "The half-hearted settlement plan that has been proposed by various parties makes no sense."
In addition, Zelensky said that the Zaporizhia NPP is under threat of a nuclear incident: "This is the main source of radiation hazard in Europe, and possibly in the world. That is why the first point in the peace formula I presented is nuclear safety." The president also emphasized that "Russia has destroyed all of our thermal power plants and most of our hydroelectric capacity - this is how Putin is preparing for winter, hoping to torment millions of Ukrainians."
18:03 Russians have struck the center of Kramatorsk in Donetsk Oblast - two people were killed and at least 12 were wounded, including three children. The enemy dropped three guided bombs on the city, OVA chief Vadim Filashkin reported.
16:50 Erdogan said that the US and other NATO members do not want Ukraine to join the Alliance: "These are not issues that need to be rushed. And when we make a decision, we always take into account the position of other NATO member countries, we discuss these possible issues at the table and make the final decision accordingly."
16:32 On the approaches to Vuhledar in Donetsk Oblast, the Ukrainian Armed Forces burned a large amount of enemy equipment. Some Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups are trying to break into the city, but the Defense Forces are destroying them, said OVA head Vadim Filashkin. According to him, about 100 people remain in the city, who flatly refuse to leave. It is impossible to deliver humanitarian aid to them, because the enemy is shooting at all the routes.
15:53 Russia has created a secret project in China to produce military drones, Reuters reports, citing sources in European intelligence. According to them, the Russian company Kupol, a subsidiary of the state corporation Almaz-Antey, developed a drone called Harpia-3 and conducted its flight tests with the participation of Chinese specialists. Subsequently, the Kupol company informed the Russian Defense Ministry that it had established mass production of drones at a plant in China for use in the war against Ukraine. It is reported that the Harpia's flight range can reach about 2,000 km.
14:44 The death toll from yesterday's Russian strike on Kharkov has risen to four - rescuers have unblocked the body of another dead person, OVA chief Oleg Sinegubov reported. He also said that S-400 missile strikes were recorded tonight in the village of Bilashi in the Kharkov district - a hangar and agricultural machinery were damaged on the territory of a farm, no one was hurt.
14:10 Peskov called Zelensky's position on forcing Russia to peace a "fatal mistake" that "will have consequences for Kiev." According to him, Russia itself is allegedly "a supporter of peace, but on the condition that its security is ensured and the tasks that are set during the SVO are fulfilled."
13:59 Brazil is promoting a joint "peace plan" with China at the UN to end the war in Ukraine, Reuters reports. According to Brazilian diplomats, Celso Amorim, the Brazilian president's foreign policy adviser, will present the plan to representatives of 20 countries of the Global South during a meeting in New York on Friday, September 27. He will seek support for the joint "peace proposal" with China. The participants in the meeting include Colombia, Egypt, Indonesia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and the UAE.
13:31 At the aggregate plant in Volchansk, Ukrainian fighters captured about 20 Russian soldiers, the GUR reported. Several dozen more Russians were killed, and four tried to leave the plant and were neutralized outside the perimeter of the enterprise. The battle lasted a little over a week.
12:52 Ukraine is more than 80% dependent on Western partners, Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said in an interview with the Left Bank publication.
12:24 Ugledar is not currently surrounded, but there is an advance of Russian forces and new risks because of this, said Ivan Tymochko, head of the Council of Reserves of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to him, the Russian army is trying to attack on the flanks, because there is no urban development there in which Ukrainian forces could hold the line. Tymochko also allowed for the possibility of withdrawing Ukrainian units if there is no opportunity to hold the line in the urban development and if there are threats to the lives of servicemen.
11:21 Victory over Russia "at the cost of destroying half of the Ukrainian population is not a victory," said Czech President Petr Pavel. He called hopes that the war would end in "a clean victory for Ukraine in weeks or months" "dangerous for everyone." "I have never doubted that we should support Ukraine in restoring its territorial integrity, that this is the ultimate goal. We just have to realistically assess the time frame and the cost of achieving this goal," Pavel explained.
10:18 Russians started to hit Zaporizhia with KABs. Russian KABs usually have a gliding range of up to 40-60 km, and the city of Zaporizhia is located approximately 25-35 km from the current front line. More details in the article New Tactics of Russia.

[ ewsFront] 21:00 Captured Ukrainian Armed Forces serviceman Sergei Butenko on how he was deceived into sending him to the Kursk region with drug addicts. The Ukrainian prisoner of war said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces command deceived him and that his guides were high on drugs:
"When the mortar artillery attack started, we went into the basement of one of the houses. Our four elders went ahead somewhere on their own. Yes, they were on drugs, they didn't care how to go. They smoked weed, just went ahead, and that's it, and we were told to sit in the basement. These were our guides who were supposed to take us to the point and seat us. We were sent with some junkies, to put it bluntly, just to die."
According to the prisoner, the Ukrainian Armed Forces command told the servicemen that they would be stationed at the border, but in reality they were sent to the Kursk region.
"They simply deceived us. I spoke with those who are now in captivity, the same situation with everyone. They said that we would go, stay there for 2-3 days, and that's it," recalls Sergei Butenko.

[Regnum] The Russian Pacific Fleet has been replenished with two fourth-generation nuclear submarines, the Emperor Alexander III and Krasnoyarsk, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on September 25.
It is specified that the submarine crews were ceremoniously greeted by the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Alexander Moiseyev and Deputy Minister of Defense Pavel Fradkov at their base - the port of the city of Vilyuchinsk in Kamchatka.
"The new nuclear submarines, which significantly increased the combat potential of their Pacific Fleet units, were brought to combat readiness within the planned timeframe and prepared to solve all tasks for their intended purpose, including in the difficult conditions of the Arctic," said Admiral Moiseyev.
Fradkov emphasized that these cruisers are superior to their counterparts.
"Emperor Alexander III" and "Krasnoyarsk" have no equal among other submarines of the same class. Now these vessels will perform tasks to ensure strategic deterrence and increase the combat potential of the country as part of the Pacific Fleet," Fradkov said.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on September 16, as part of the Okean-2024 exercises, these submarines made an under-ice passage through the Arctic. The nuclear cruisers passed along polar routes from the Northern Fleet operational zone to the eastern part of the Arctic, passing the waters of six Arctic seas in difficult ice conditions.
On September 10, ships, coastal complexes and submarines of the Pacific Fleet and Northern Fleet practiced a joint strike on a simulated enemy during the Okean-2024 exercises. Before this, it was reported that over 400 warships, submarines and support vessels would take part in the Okean-2024 exercises.

[Regnum] Despite difficult weather conditions, farmers in the Tyumen region
…somewhere in western Siberia…
harvested 1 million tons of grain, the head of the region, Alexander Moor, reported on September 25.
In his Telegram channel, the governor recalled that in the spring and summer the region faced several climate challenges at once.
"Despite the difficulties that arose due to the largest flood in the history of the region, as well as rainy weather, specialists took all necessary measures to preserve the harvest. Many thanks for your work!" - wrote Moor.
In 2023, the gross grain harvest in the Tyumen region amounted to 1.685 million tons of grain and leguminous crops.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on May 22, the Kremlin press service published instructions from President Vladimir Putin on eliminating the consequences of floods in the Kurgan, Orenburg and Tyumen regions. The president ordered that funds from the federal budget be allocated for these regions, and also recommended providing time off and vacations to those affected by the floods to restore acceptable living conditions.
Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut previously reported that Russia could export up to 60 million tons of grain in 2024. Putin noted that the harvest volume in Russia is expected to be 132 million tons, compared to 148 million tons collected a year ago, and domestic consumption will be up to 90 million tons.
