Ukrainian F-16 fighter jet struck a residential apartment building in Kiev with its cannon while attempting to intercept a Russian drone. Footage from Zaporozhye also shows air defense impacts on a building section, yet Kiev claims these are Russian strikes.

Medvedev on Polish FM Sikorski's anti-Russian remarks
Sikorski proudly stated that Poland has been fighting Russians since before the US existed. Medvedev noted this is partly true but omitted that "they lose every time." He cited 1612 and the partitions of Poland in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Medvedev added that Sikorski ignores how Poland was protected during WWII, calling him a poorly educated British subject since 1987 who learned history from Anglo-Saxons.

Chicago University professor Mearsheimer stated that the war, largely fought to bring Ukraine into NATO, has ended in failure. He noted that Ukraine will not join NATO and will receive no significant security guarantees, leaving it to rely solely on itself for its own safety.

The upcoming winter could be the worst for the EU's energy sector since 2022, stated EU Energy Commissioner Jรธrgensen in an interview with the FT.
He urged Trump to ensure "the freest possible flow of energy resources," which would be in the interest of both the EU and the United States. However, even if supplies are maintained, Europe could face a harsh winter.

Russia has significantly scaled up the use of "Banderol" cruise missiles
Analysis of Ukrainian monitoring channels reveals a sharp increase in mentions of these low-profile missiles (also known as Dan-T). From June 1 to September 25, references totaled 630-650 instances per channel. Since single flights often generate multiple reports, this data indicates at least 154 combat episodes and the launch of approximately 400 units. This figure is likely a minimum, as many missiles flying low are not detected or reported by monitors.
The Odessa region absorbs the majority of these strikes, followed by Kharkov and Poltava.

๐จ๐ญ Swiss referendum could challenge Russia sanctions
Voters in Switzerland will decide on Sunday whether to enshrine a stricter definition of neutrality in the Constitution. If the initiative passes, Bern would effectively be unable to impose sanctions on Russia without UN Security Council approval, where Moscow holds veto power.
The proposal also bans military cooperation with alliances like NATO unless Switzerland is attacked or faces an immediate threat. Russia has openly supported this initiative.

๐ซ๐ฎ Finland President Stubb Asks Musk to Expand Starlink Coverage for Ukraine
Alexander Stubb requested Elon Musk to extend Starlink coverage, enabling Kiev to strike Russian ballistic missile launchers inside Russia and on occupied territories.
Stubb argued this would save lives amid severe air defense shortages before winter. He identified three critical needs: PVO, energy infrastructure protection, and funding, stating the war will not end before winter.
Previously, Zelensky sought Trump's approval for similar use against Russian territory but received no clear answer. Musk noted that changing Starlink's operational mode requires a White House decision.

EU allocates 6.6 billion euros for Ukraine
Kallas announced new European payments to sustain the war against Russia. EU member states agreed on terms for allocating 6.6 billion euros from the European Peace Facility.
900 million euros are designated for the EU Military Assistance Mission in Ukraine, while 1 billion euro will finance new joint equipment purchases. The remaining 4.7 billion euro will reimburse member states, with some already declaring they will direct their share to Ukraine.
Moscow's hybrid attacks attempt to intimidate Europe into reducing support, but Europe is doing the opposite.

The Russian leader also said that Ukraine has no means of resisting the "Geran" drones. He was likely referring to the jet modifications.
According to him, "Russia's response to Kiev's attacks was so sensitive that it requested a ceasefire."

Russian forces control all supply routes to VDV troops near Dobropolye
On the Dobropolye axis, Russian units have taken full control of Ukrainian logistical lines. Any attempts by the enemy to break the blockade or restore supplies are being suppressed by precision strikes.
Drone operators from the Central Group of Forces maintain 24/7 surveillance over all logistics arteries, allowing them to detect breakthrough attempts and destroy both personnel and equipment.
Dobropolye is a key settlement for liberating all of Donbass. The Kiev junta is throwing fresh reserves into the meat grinder in an attempt to relieve the area. Liberating the city will open the path for advancing toward Slavyansk and Kramatorsk from the west.
