Ukrainian Perspective: Invasion of Ukraine: September 3, 2024
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Worth noting, korrespondent.net has compiled its Invasion of Ukraine series into separate months, beginning May 9th, 2023. Linked in the title.

[Korrespondent] 22:09 Zelensky said in an evening video address that he held a meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Headquarters, where, in particular, he heard Syrsky's report on the front and the operation in the Kursk region. "The Pokrovsk direction is a decision to strengthen positions. Active actions in the Kursk region continue to replenish the exchange fund for our state," the president said.

In addition, the meeting discussed the possibilities of making the use of existing air defense systems in Ukraine more effective and work on obtaining additional protection. There were also important reports on various types of drones.

"And, of course, we continue to work with all partners for stronger solutions to support our defense - for long-range solutions that could destroy a significant part of Russian ballistics before they even start. This is one of the key issues of this war in principle. The issues of our long-range capabilities and the corresponding permissions from partners, long-range shells and missiles that we could use. Russian strikes will be impossible if we can destroy the occupier's launchers where they are, and Russian military airfields and logistics," the president emphasized.

21:25 In Poltava, the number of injured has increased to 271, another 51 people have died, and people remain under the rubble , Zelensky reported.

21:21 Zelensky told NBC News that Ukraine intends to keep control of part of the Kursk region, since it is an integral part of the "victory plan" to end the war. The president explained that in this way, Kiev wants to force Putin to sit down at the negotiating table. "We do not need their land. We do not want to bring our Ukrainian way of life there," Zelensky emphasized. He added that Kiev will present its plan to international partners, including the United States.

At the same time, Zelensky refused to say whether Ukraine plans to try to seize even more Russian territory: "I won't say, sorry, I can't talk about it. It's like the beginning of our Kursk operation."

21:02 Germany plans to provide Ukraine with six more IRIS-T air defense systems, Reuters writes. According to the publication, the deliveries are part of Berlin's plan to transfer a total of 12 IRIS-T batteries, four of which have already been delivered.

20:23 Zelensky reported that he had a meeting with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi. The main focus was on issues of strengthening nuclear safety in Ukraine, ensuring continuous monitoring of not only the state of nuclear power plants, but also critical substations.

20:06 Russians shot three Ukrainian prisoners of war in the Toretsk direction, the Prosecutor General's Office reported. According to Telegram channels, three soldiers from one of the Ukrainian Armed Forces brigades came out of the basement of a house with their hands up when the enemy came very close to them. The occupiers put them face down on the ground, after which they were almost immediately shot in the back.

19:10 Norway will transfer 570 million Norwegian kroner (about 48 million euros) to the International Fund for Ukraine for the purchase of drones and air defense systems, the country's government announced.

18:47 Zelensky reported that he had a telephone conversation with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: they discussed the needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, including additional air defense systems and armored vehicles, and work within the framework of the drone coalition. The Ukrainian president also called on the head of the Canadian government "to strengthen advocacy among partners to provide Ukraine with permission and the appropriate means to strike military targets on the territory of the aggressor country." The parties also discussed preparations for the upcoming thematic conference in Canada on the item of the Peace Formula "Release of prisoners and deportees."

18:24 As of 18:00, 51 people are known to have died and more than 200 injured in Poltava as a result of the Russian attack , the Prosecutor General's Office reported. One of the buildings of the Institute of Communications, a hospital and nearby houses were partially destroyed.

Defense Ministry spokesman Dmitry Lazutkin reported that 49 people were killed and 219 injured as a result of the strike, and search and rescue operations are ongoing. At the same time, he assured that the educational process was underway at the institution at the time of the strike, and no formations were taking place, as previously reported by Telegram channels. "At 9:08, the alarm sounded, everyone went down to the shelter, a few minutes after the alarm was announced, explosions were heard. The details of the tragedy in Poltava are being studied. It is now known that no formations or other events were taking place at the time of the strike," Lazutkin emphasized.

17:29 Ukraine has drones and missiles that can fly 1,500 km into Russia, said Minister for Strategic Industries Alexander Kamyshin: "We have drones, missiles with a range of 1,500 kilometers... And you have seen that they are effective."

16:58 Russians attacked the village of Makarovo in the Zolochiv community of the Kharkiv region - one person was killed, one was wounded, reported the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov.

16:26 In Poltava, 47 people are already known to have died and 206 were injured as a result of the Russian strike, First Lady Elena Zelenskaya reported.

16:07 The Romanian Parliament has finally approved the transfer of the Patriot system to Ukraine. Now the document must be signed by the country's President Klaus Iohannis.

16:00 Poltava region has declared a three-day mourning for those killed in the Russian attack, said OVA head Filipp Pronin.

15:52 Mongolian government officials told Politico on condition of anonymity that they cannot arrest Putin because their "hands are a little tied." The officials explained that their country is energy dependent on Russia: "Mongolia imports 95% of its petroleum products and more than 20% of its electricity from our closest neighbors... These supplies are critical to our survival and the survival of our people."

15:34 The number of victims as a result of the Russian missile strike on the Grand Palace hotel complex in Zaporozhye at night has risen to six, the State Emergency Service reported.

14:41 The United States is close to making a decision on providing Ukraine with long-range cruise missiles JASSM, which can reach deep into Russia, Reuters writes. The inclusion of JASSM missiles in the weapons package is expected to be announced this fall, although a final decision has not yet been made.

14:35 The Rada voted to include the Unmanned Systems Forces into separate branches of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

14:29 Russia launched two ballistic missiles at the Institute of Communications in Poltava - as of now, 41 people are known to have died and more than 180 were injured , Zelensky said. The strike hit the territory of the educational institution and a nearby hospital, partially destroying one of the buildings. The Defense Ministry clarified that the time interval between the alarm and the strike was so short that it caught people evacuating to a bomb shelter.

14:17 IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi reported that he held a meeting in Kiev with the heads of the Ministry of Energy, the State Nuclear Regulatory Authority and Energoatom before his trip to the occupied Zaporizhia NPP. This is already his tenth visit to Ukraine.

13:23 Russians have brought a "colossal number" of air defense systems to Crimea and are building a "mysterious structure" near the Kerch Bridge, said spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy Dmitry Pletenchuk. According to him, the Russians are using all available air defense systems of various ranges on the peninsula: S-300, S-400, and even S-500 systems. As for the structure near the bridge, there is no precise information about its purpose yet, Pletenchuk noted, adding that "it could be a protective structure, a technical structure, or a parallel crossing."

13:11 At night, Russians carried out massive shelling of Ukrzaliznytsia facilities, the company reported. In particular, infrastructure and rolling stock in Sumy and Dnipropetrovsk regions were attacked. No one was hurt. In addition, on the evening of September 2, the house of a Ukrzaliznytsia employee, a locomotive depot driver, came under enemy artillery fire in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region. It is from this city that railway workers are now organizing the evacuation of civilians. The railway worker and his wife, an employee of the primary trade union, were injured.

13:04 The Verkhovna Rada adopted an appeal to the G7 countries, in which, on behalf of the Ukrainian people, it called for "demonstrating unity and determination in protecting the goals and principles of the United Nations Charter and countering the criminal actions of the Russian Federation aimed at destroying Ukraine as a state, undermining the global security architecture and dividing the international community."

12:19 Over the past 24 hours, Russians have used drones to attack not only energy infrastructure facilities, but also energy workers, the Ministry of Energy reported. Thus, in the Chernihiv region, during a UAV attack on an energy facility, three workers were injured. In the Sumy region, a repair crew was attacked by an enemy drone, the driver was injured.

11:40 In Mariupol, the so-called chairman of the occupation city council, Oleg Nosenko, was attacked. He is in serious condition in intensive care with a craniocerebral injury as a result of "a blow with a blunt object to the back of the head," said Mariupol mayoral adviser Petro Andryushchenko. According to him, Nosenko was hit on the head with a brick on Sportivnaya Street.

11:14 As a result of Russian shelling, one of the two external overhead lines through which the Zaporizhzhya NPP receives power from the Ukrainian energy system was damaged, Energoatom reported. If the second line is damaged, an emergency situation will arise, the company warned.

Direct Translation via Gogle Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Russian military strike on the training center of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' communications troops in Poltava was one of the most horrific since the start of the conflict. The Times newspaper wrote about this on September 3.

Times: The attack on the Ukrainian Armed Forces training center in Poltava was the worst since the beginning of the Second World War
"More than 200 people were injured in one of the heaviest airstrikes ever," the article said.

It is noted that the number of people trapped under the rubble remains unknown.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, Vladimir Rogov, co-chairman of the coordination council for the integration of new regions, reported on September 3 that Russian troops launched a missile attack on a military school in Poltava. According to him, the Russian Armed Forces covered the military personnel who were being trained to work in the areas of radar and electronic warfare; the enemy's losses are in the hundreds.

Former Verkhovna Rada deputy Igor Mosiychuk (included in the list of terrorists and extremists by Rosfinmonitoring) stated that dozens of soldiers were killed and about 600 were injured during the attack on the Poltava center of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The politician blamed the command for what happened, which allowed a mass formation in one place.

The head of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, confirmed the attack on the center in Poltava. He said that 41 servicemen were killed, and more than 180 Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers were wounded. The strike also partially destroyed one of the buildings in the complex.

According to his information, among those killed and wounded were foreign instructors.

Earlier, on September 3, co-chairman of the coordination council for the integration of new regions Vladimir Rogov said that Russian military launched a missile strike on the Ukrainian Armed Forces military school in Poltava.

Zakharova: BRICS expansion reflects the world's struggle against the neocolonial oppression of the West
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The expansion of BRICS speaks of the determination of the world community to throw off the neocolonial yoke of the West. This was stated on September 3 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

This is how she commented on the words of former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown about the “potential danger” of the fact that the number of BRICS member states has doubled.

“The doubling of the number of BRICS member countries indicates the determination of the world community to throw off the yoke of neocolonial oppression, develop in accordance with its national interests, preserve the traditions of civilization and not allow the destructive influence of Western liberal dictatorship,” Zakharova wrote on her Telegram channel.

The diplomat added that London should first and foremost beware of the technological degradation in Britain caused by liberal decadence.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov reported that Russia has invited 36 foreign leaders to the BRICS summit, which will take place from October 22 to 24 in Kazan. He specified that 18 of them have already confirmed their participation.

Since January 1 of this year, Russia has been chairing BRICS. Since 2010, the association included Russia, China, India, Brazil and South Africa. Since the beginning of this year, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia have joined the association.

On July 28, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced that the country had formally declared its desire to join BRICS in a letter to Russia. Azerbaijan applied to join in August.

At the end of July, the executive director of the National Committee for BRICS Research, Georgy Toloraya, noted that about 30 states intend to join the interstate association.
