Seems like a no brainer but maybe they were focused on a different area for defensive building?
There isn't expected that this month ukr will recieve large batches with supplies.
☆ For Ukraine more imporant is that Putin still is capable to hire replacement..therefore even if ukr claims about 1000 russian. KIA each day .....are truth, Putin still will continue.
☆ Now even they are risking with Su-25 and Su-34 more often in order to provide CAS and also to drop gliding bombs.....most likely cos Ukr air defense is weakened.....
☆ Putin will use ukr shortage of shells and SAM missiles and will press to take as much ground as it is possible....all this month.

An Indian science graduate was promised a job in Dubai but was tricked into fighting for Russia, reports say

"Some Indian nationals are being tricked into fighting for the Russian army after having been promised jobs in Dubai, Le Monde reported.
About 20 Indians are thought to have fallen victim to similar schemes and are now caught on the front lines in Russia.
One victim, Aazad Yousuf Kumar, 31, a science graduate, traveled from his home in northern India to Dubai in the hopes of working for an employment consultancy named Baba Vlogs, which is run by a man named Faisal Khan.
Kumar's mother told The Telegraph that after he arrived in the United Arab Emirates, he was told there were no jobs available and that he would have to go to Russia to do kitchen work.
But she said he was then brought to a military base where he was given weapons training.
"We lost touch with him for a while. When he finally phoned after about twenty days, he told us that he had been tricked and taken to an unknown place in Russia, where he had received weapons training for a fortnight, along with a dozen other Indians," his brother, Sajad Ahmad Kumar, told Le Monde."
Russia will attempt to destabilize Moldova.
There are all prerequesites to do this without sending troops or weapons. Separatists controlled area already is filled with weapons and ammo.
Possible to hire provocators and hooligans in Moldova...
Moldova in october will have very competitive elections...
All prerequisites why is lucrarive to destabilize Moldova....

A woman clutching an infant is found in the rubble of Ukraine building after Russian drone strike

"Officials on Sunday said the bodies of a boy — and a young woman clutching an infant — were pulled from Saturday's rubble.
“The mother tried to cover the 8-month-old child with her own (body). She tried to save them. They were found in a firm embrace,” said a Telegram post published on the interior ministry's official channel. Separately, the governor of the Odesa region, Oleh Kiper, said the other child was 10.
On Saturday, Ukrainian authorities said another baby was among those killed after falling debris from an Iranian-made drone hit the building — one of eight Russian drones reported by officials. Later that day, Zelenskyy said a second child aged 2 had also died.
“Delays in the delivery of weapons to Ukraine, as well as air defense to protect our people, unfortunately result in such losses,” Zelenskyy wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
More people may still be trapped, the Odesa branch of Ukraine's main emergency service said on Facebook. Kiper said rescue workers continued to comb through the site."
I think biggest Ukr politicians mistake was after suffessful Harkov counter offensive to start tell west that they wants not only money today and weapons .....but later also Western taxpayers money as donations for reconstruction after war and mentioned very huge sums for reconstruction.
While politicians cares to get votes.
And while it is possible for voters to accept that they need to help stop dictator, not likely voters in west wants to sponsor Ukr oligarchy construction businesses in Ukr.
Also if assistance Is given as loan it is easier to pass voting in parliaments due to fiscal reasons....
While Ukr usually attempted to get all as Grant not loan....
After this supplies slowed down.
And when I read that mortgage loans still are actual in Ukraine....Kiev and Lvov etc....I have no clue why?
Imagine U.K in 1941th with actual discussions about loans for mortgage....?Damn.....

Next thing.
Ukraine had de militarized....while talked loud PR talks.
One example: allowed to rust and accumulate spiders nets SCUD missiles they had....while they had level to refubrish them and keep in working condition... .
Populism: talked about Hrum missile and even managed to make some for parades.
While couple of peaces.
Ukr MIC and bloggers were in extase and this was usable for Rus propaganda that Ukr is arming Up....
When Thocka missiles stockpile Ukr had from USSR era depleted....they instead to use highly touted superweapon .....started to demand ATACMS....

Next stupidity example : forget about KUB and S-125 .....accumulate dust instead to modernize these....
Then begged Poland to sent some these and from PiS conservatives they get some peaces.
Then we're happy that PiS didn't had won elections and now Ukr will be happy....
While new government in Poland is pro Ukr, they fears a lot from possible joint action done in all country when businesses and trade unions might be UNITED.
Trade unions had crushed pro Kremlin order in Poland!
So new government fears to go harsh against protesters and Ukr / Poland border is with small blockades somewhere....
PiS never had allowed this to happen.........newer....and unlike conservative in other countries ....actually were more willing to deliver assistance quickly.

Ukrainians should understand that sometimes is better to bear history lectures from someone who is helping a lot...
Ukr didn't get to purchase MANPADS from Poland before war, even old model...
When war had started, after this bad PiS in response begging even to sell old MANPADS models get batch with new Piorun.for free.
Bad PiS also were AFAIK first who had delivered heavy weapons for Ukr after war had started and waited long time before made this in public.
What stuff is heavy weapons I had posted long ago....
So Ukr pride is so high that better is to have small blockade and listen to nice talks from Tusk......instead to get history lectures from PiS conservatives and fast supplies?

Also there some pro Ukr bloggers and YT heroes are talking that Poland is blocking military aid supplies to Ukr.
It is fake stuff cos only one thing they are interested is to Block traffic FROM Ukr to Poland!
About traffic TO Ukraine from Poland they doesn't care cos this might not gave them any bonus.

Denys btw imho is unskilled draft dogger living in west and doesn't knows a bare shit about difference between Baltic countries and Kiev....and I don't mean here NATO membership....
Low skills in financial field and actual condition and also cocky casual ukr attitude.
Arestantovich sometimes had get nice lectures from them and Arestantovich posts according to who is paying him. When Zelensky paid him....then we're Dreams about Crimea when I had posted that to kick them out is possible only with nuke and after this no one will need Crimea therefore not worth to use this.
Casual brainwashing.
He posted that " you will see our counter offensive " when I had posted that with supplied stuff barely might be possible to hold frontline if LUCKY....and that fortifications and minefields will be big problem.....
Who was correct?

Brainwashing example how to attempt implement Ukr laws in Monaco.
Everyone in Monaco is allowed to film you on public street....
While to enter your property alone does require permit to do this...
Law lectures about Monaco laws from brainwashing specialist are different.

North Korea stopped sending artillery rounds according to South Korea. South Korea who has been monitoring the situation says they shipped 3 million rounds an have stopped. This could be good news for Ukraine. Putin been relying on these rounds could Russian economic situation be far worse then stated.
He is an athlete. It’s not exactly surprising they are emotional and impulsive. Regardless of their skin color or nationality.

Nope. Even with the superior automatisation, modern AA systems are very demanding in terms of operators qualification. You can't just take even experienced dudes and make them into proper specialists in a span of several months.
Wait, wait... all Russian tech are already destroyed several times over. Where did they get the replacements? Did they steal so many washing machines and dish washers in Ukraine?
It seems that Ukrainian air defenses often miss and hit their own residential buildings, while trying to shoot those drones. A pity.A woman clutching an infant is found in the rubble of Ukraine building after Russian drone strike

Russians understand only force and direct real threats, any attempts to negotiate with them are dangerous for Americans future because then they will see this as win and defeat of their opponents in dying west...
Kremlin is Empire of lies and always will be threat for us, Americans.
Reagan.
And yeah, casuals aren't dumb today.. .
If West will allow russia ( today looks that it is reality ), Putin might get to hire pragmatic ukrainians to hire for fight vs West and then you will have mobilization.....and racked up def budgets till heaven.
