Day 952 War in Ukraine


Vuhledar is gone. It’s now just rubble and occupied by Russia. Ukrainian troops had to depart as Russian troops were threatening to encircle them.

Bombing in Kharkiv of a residential building. Shahed drone strikes against Kyiv, Khmelnyskyi, Vinnytsia, and Rivne Oblasts.

From Zelenskyy’s daily speech today: “’Shahed’ drones targeted ordinary civilian infrastructure – a ferry terminal, cargo trucks, a warehouse with grain. The very thing that Russian terrorists always perceive as a target is the food security of the region and the world.”

Zelenskyy wishes a “Shanah Tovah to Jewish communities across Ukraine and around the world as they mark #RoshHashanah.”

A counting-up of the summer’s civilian casualties (1 Jun to 31 Aug): “At least 589 Ukrainian civilians were killed and another 2,685 injured”

Very interesting and lengthy thread on how the US and Europe view Ukraine and Russia.

Russians have improved their battlefield performance: “Enemy troops are storming the battlefields in small teams that minimize detection and make return fire difficult, backed by superior quantities of artillery and drones.”

More on the drones of Kherson chasing down civilian residents of the city. “Drones are now flying in groups and attacking everything that moves.” and “Under attack are people walking, driving, bicycling, going to work or standing by grocery stores.”

Okhmatdyt suffered a massive missile attack several months ago.

Russian crop-duster hit by friendly fire that thought he was a Ukrainian drone.
