Novaya Kazachya in the Kharkov region is in good Russian hands...
Russia's North Group of Forces is expanding its zone of control along the border the Belgorod region. Further movement south along the T2117 highway will put pressure on Kharkov, the second largest city in the Ukraine by population. To counter this threat, the AFU will be forced to redeploy forces from other areas.

‼️UKRAINIAN POST‼️
Russian attacks are changing the weather in Kyiv: After the strikes, a thick cloud of smoke covers the capital, which promotes the formation of dense fog, according to "BILD."

Geran-5 drone strike on the Moskovsky Bridge in Kyiv...
Visual evidence indicates that a substantial breach has formed in the bridge deck, suggesting that repairs will be a lengthy process. If such drones are deployed with precision on a constant basis, the bridge risks becoming inoperable for an extended period.
This scenario has been a subject of frequent discussion between myself and my colleague, Misha Onufrienko. While collapsing the bridge spans using this type of weaponry is not a simple task, it is comparatively easier to just make the structure unusable.
A critical aspect is the presence of fiber optic cables and heating pipes beneath the road surface of all bridges in Kiev. Given the nature of this attack, the repair of these underlying infrastructure elements may be deemed impractical, presenting a significant logistical challenge.

Vehicle losses have been released for the month of September.
Primary credit: @HeyHey_Hayden TG
In total, Russia lost 32 vehicles whilst Ukraine lost 175. A ratio of 1:5.5
Excluding Armoured cars/MRAPs, which skew the ratio as Russia hardly utilises them at all whilst Ukraine does so in huge number for transport purposes, Russia lost 32 vehicles whilst Ukraine lost 69. A ratio of 1:2.2
Regarding self-propelled artillery, which is a great indicator of capacity to inflict attrition, Russia lost 7 vehicles whilst Ukraine lost 37. A ratio of 1:5.3
Russian losses are counted by UkraineWarSpotting. Ukrainian losses are counted by LostArmour. Credit to HeyHeyHayden for compiling numbers.
Of course, these vehicle losses are all geolocated and only completely destroyed vehicles are counted. There could of course be some mistakes.
The common cope that i hear: “But Russia uses only civilian vehicles! Ukraine actually cares about the lives of their soldiers! Civilian vehicles are not counted in this!”
Are we still seriously falling for “meatwave assaults” in 2026?
A) I have spoken to Ukrainian soldiers that confirm the AFU also uses civilian vehicles in non-combat roles, for transport purposes. Russia does the same. In a war of attrition, cheap but good enough equipment is better than extremely expensive perfect equipment.
B) Adding onto that, Russia has a huge domestic war economy which can churn out so many civilian vehicles that it wouldn’t matter how many were destroyed. If Ukraine’s military vehicles such as SPGs, IFVs etc are destroyed, it needs to wait on deliveries from the west.
C) If AFU command cared about the lives of their soldiers, the Robotyne and Kursk mass suicides would never have happened. Ukraine quite literally burned through tens of billions of dollars worth of Western vehicles in Kursk oblast alone.
D) Even if vehicle losses favoured Ukraine by 2x, this would be nowhere close to the relative attrition needed to be inflicted upon Russia, because of Russia’s industrial capacity.
E) Keep in mind that armies collapse long before they are physically out of manpower or vehicles, as per historical examples such as the Germans in WW1 Collapse is induced when overall attrition inflicted reaches a critical point. Drones only mask this attrition and delay the final outcome. Ukraine is obviously far far closer to this critical point than Russia.
