Protest held in Kiev on Maidan
Demonstrators demanded the cessation of hostilities and a transition to peaceful settlement. The rally was organized by former Odessa journalist and activist Todorov, who previously called for protests against corruption and military issues.
Todorov was reportedly detained on September 19, though official confirmation was lacking at the time. Organizers' demands include an end to fighting, presidential elections, international audit of aid, border opening, and army reforms.

🔍 What the Kyiv protests actually measure
Anti-war demonstrations in Kyiv began this week, small in number and triggered by the remarks of a Ukrainian serviceman. They coincide with a sustained strike campaign on the capital's data centres, power lines and Dnieper bridges.
The wider implication concerns how public opinion forms in wartime. Strikes on military plants and industrial sites rarely move a capital's population, because residents understand what is being hit and why. Damage to bridges, water supply and power feels much more personal, because it reaches every household. Attitudes shift in response to these personal effects, while front-line casualty figures play a much smaller role.
That makes the protests a weak indicator of national sentiment and a strong indicator of fatigue in the rear. The second matters more for Kyiv's leadership, because fatigue turns into questions aimed at the government.

Kiev's bridges under fire: six strikes in three days
At the peak, traffic was restricted or stopped on five of the city's six road crossings. Kiev authorities now say all bridges are open again, with restrictions applying only during air raid alerts:
The Southern Bridge closes for about 15 minutes after an alert begins, in the direction from the right bank to the left.
The Podolsky bridge crossing closes for about 15 minutes, from the left bank to the right.
The Darnitsky, Northern, Metro and Paton bridges are open without restrictions.
Around a million people live on the eastern bank and commute to the western bank, where most government offices and businesses sit. With drones over the city daily, those alert closures will be frequent.
The NYT concedes the bridges would be hard to bring down, but notes that repeated hits could weaken them enough to force indefinite closure. It also admits that #Ukraine is short of air defence and more exposed than at any point in the conflict.

Houthis Tear Through Government Defenses in Taiz, Advancing on Four Fronts (Videos, Map)
Fighting intensified across Yemen's southwestern province of Taiz on October 2 and 3, with the Houthis (Ansar Allah) reportedly advancing on four fronts as government forces launched strikes.
The reported Houthi gains stretched from the southern Taiz countryside to Same' district, Jabal Habashi and the western outskirts of Taiz city, signaling a widening offensive across the province.
In southern Taiz, the Houthis reportedly took the heights of Jabal Rasan and Jabal Jardad, along with nearby villages including Rasan, Bani Mohammed, al-Za'azi and al-Kuwayrah. The reports also said the Houthis had captured Daba al-Dakhil and Jabal Ahem, while fighting continued around Asha and Samdan. Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces retained control of Mafraq al-Safiyah and the western Taiz-Aden road.

The Motherland Remembers
On September 21, 1993, Boris Yeltsin signed the unconstitutional decree No. 1400 "On the phased constitutional reform in the Russian Federation."
This decree dissolved the Congress of People's Deputies and the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation, thereby grossly violating the country's Constitution. According to the Constitutional Court's conclusion, the president's decree was recognised as an unconstitutional act, providing grounds for #Yeltsin's removal from office.
Following this decree, troops were introduced into Moscow, the nationwide elected bodies of Soviet power were crushed, and the defenders of the Supreme Soviet in Moscow were shot on October 3-4, 1993. A state coup d'état akin to Pinochet's fascist coup in Chile was carried out in our country.
According to official data, the victims numbered 147, but according to some sources, more than 1000 people.

The publication from the Archive of the Clinton Presidential Library, where the recording of the conversation between Yeltsin and Clinton from September 21, 1993 is preserved:
Yeltsin: Bill, the Supreme Soviet has totally gone out of control. It no longer supports the reform process. They have become communist. We cannot no longer put up with that. For that reason, today I signed a decree on elections to a new democratic assembly to take place on December 11 and 12. In that period, the Supreme Soviet and Congress actions will not have any effect. Everything will be governed by Presidential decree. All the democratic forces are supporting me.
Clinton: Are the military and security services with you?
Yeltsin: Both the military and Ministry of Internal Affairs have come out in support of me. There is no disorder for the time being. There are about 300 people gathered but they are dispersing. I think there will be no bloodshed.
Clinton: That’s good. Your speech comes at an important time here — the Senate will act this week on the $2.5 billion assistance package for Russia and the other states. Secretary Christopher is with key members of the Congress now to underscore our continued support for the bill.
