#War In Ukraine

On the evening of 8 September, Russian forces carried out strikes on Mykolaiv, damaging a Metro hypermarket: windows in the building were shattered and the roof was breached. This was reported by local residents and the media.

Russian drones attacked the Pryluky Tobacco Factory of British American Tobacco in Chernihiv Oblast: the roof of a workshop caught fire. Firefighters are extinguishing the blaze, and a local resident was preliminarily injured.

Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service obtained documents on at least eight Indonesian citizens whom Russian recruiters have drawn into the Russian army. This is a new stage in the systematic recruitment of foreigners for the war.

WSJ: Russia is testing its readiness for a new wave of mobilization — inspections were carried out in Kaliningrad and across the country. There is no final decision, but the personnel shortage and a plan for 300,000 people after the elections make conscription likely.

The Russian army is losing up to 40,000 people a month, and the recruitment of contract soldiers is not covering the losses. The Kremlin is discussing a new wave of mobilization of 100–300 thousand people after the elections, while Rosgvardia is preparing a plan to suppress possible protests 🇷🇺🚨

Voluntary conscription in the RF has reached a dead end: authorities have resorted to street detentions and the fabrication of criminal cases to fill the ranks of the army. Regions are introducing payments of up to 100,000 rubles for each "volunteer," but experts warn of the risks of new mobilization and the growth of radical dissatisfaction in society. 🇷🇺🚫📉

Russia is changing tactics: instead of cruise missiles, they are massively using ballistic missiles and shifting to daytime strikes. Air Force spokesperson Yuriy Ignat stated that over 50 missiles, including "Iskanders" and "Zircons," were launched in a week, but Russian production is facing difficulties due to strikes on factories. 🚀🇺🇦

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that old proposals for peace in Ukraine no longer work. According to him, fundamentally new concepts are needed to end the war, and Washington is ready to offer them under favorable conditions. 🇺🇸🕊️

Volodymyr Zelenskyy held extensive negotiations with the military command, discussing in detail the situation on all sections of the front and supply issues. The head of state announced that key meetings will take place tomorrow, which will determine Ukraine's further strategic steps. 🇺🇦📉

The Russian economy is entering a new phase of crisis: stock market indices have crashed, VTB shares have hit a minimum, and the budget deficit has exceeded 5 trillion rubles. Experts link this to the war and record military spending. 📉🇷🇺

Vladimir Putin announced the creation of a new fuel supply system for Crimea that will be difficult for the enemy to access. The President made this statement during the "Everything for Victory!" forum, noting that the fuel situation is gradually stabilizing. ⛽🇷🇺
