STRAIGHT. War in Ukraine: Zelensky declared September a “productive” month

Ukrainian drones shot down in the Russian regions of Moscow and Bryansk

Russia claims to have prevented night attacks by Ukrainian drones in the areas of Moscow and Bryansk (west). At dawn, “air defense forces of the Lyubertsy district (south-east of the capital, approx. ed.) destroyed a drone flying in the direction of Moscow,” the mayor of the Russian capital, Sergei Sobyanin, said on Telegram. “According to preliminary information, there are no casualties or destruction,” he added.

According to the Ministry of Defense, the attack was led by Kyiv and was foiled around 4:30 am local time (3:30 am French time).

Moscow’s Domodedovo and Vnukovo International Airports were briefly closed to departures and arrivals before resuming operations.

At night, two more aircraft were “destroyed by air defense systems that were in service over the territory of the Bryansk region,” bordering Ukraine, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on Telegram.

The Russians set their sights on Poltava

The head of the military administration of the Poltava region, Dmitry Lunin, claims on Telegram that Russian troops attacked the plant.

Two people were killed and two more were injured. Rescuers are still looking for two more missing people under the rubble.

Is Zelensky going too far?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wants to introduce a bill to the Ukrainian parliament equating corruption with high treason, he said last night in an interview with 1+1 TV channel. “I understand that such weapons cannot be used in society all the time, but during the war, I think they will help,” he said.

Kherson region bombed 69 times

Last night, the Russian army launched 69 strikes on the Kherson region with mortars, artillery, tanks, multiple launch rocket systems, drones and aircraft. According to the Ukrainian military administrator, one person died and two were injured.

In just a day, the Russian army fired 395 shells in the region, including 39 in the city of Kherson.

Zelensky thanked his soldiers

Last night, in his daily address, President Zelensky named many “warriors” and “rescuers” who “have distinguished themselves most in protecting lives and Ukraine over the past seven days.” Thus, he thanked Private Yaroslav Bevz, a soldier of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade. “It was he who replaced the Ukrainian flag in the Robotine school destroyed by the Russians.

Next month will be ‘productive’ for Ukraine, its president says

On social media, the President of Ukraine declared Sunday the month of “productive September” for his country. On the battlefield, he notes that there is “new packages” including “artillery, armored vehicles, air defense and missiles, and demining equipment”. “Each partner is aware of our needs. We look forward to decisions,” he told his allies. He also recalls that “Ukraine will participate in international events, in particular, in the UN General Assembly.”

Ukrainian troops advance on the Southern Front

According to the Institute for the Study of Warfare, a US think tank, troops in Kyiv have achieved “ significant tactical progress”, in Robotin, in the west of the Zaporozhye region. The Ukrainians would break through the most difficult Russian line of defense in the region.
