⚔️ Katsaps suffered a fiasco in the battles for Novoiehorivka

🇺🇦 "With the forces of the 68th Jaeger Brigade, supported by the 43rd, 32nd, and 95th Air Assault Brigades and the 3rd Border Commandant's Office of the 15th Border Guard Detachment, numerous enemy attacks on Novoiehorivka and nearby heights were repelled from mid-August to mid-September. The enemy advanced not only with convicts-shoiguists but also employed many tanks and other types of armored vehicles. Despite the complexity of the battles, joint efforts successfully halted and in some places repelled the katsaps. At this moment, they have lost their offensive potential in this area," shared with us the commander of the 68th Jaeger Brigade "Shum".

🇭🇺🇪🇺"Until an EU member state receives the money it is ennoscriptd to, no non-EU country will receive a penny," - the head of the Hungarian Prime Minister's Office, Gergely Gulyás

🤦‍♂️The politician said this during a press conference. Gulyás added that Ukraine will be able to receive financial assistance from the EU only if changes are made to the budget, which requires Hungary's vote.

🇺🇦 In particular, Gergely mentioned Ukrainian grain, noting that the government has also reconsidered the ban on imports of Ukrainian grain and sees that it was the right decision and that this measure is working. They do not want "bad Ukrainian grain" to flood the Hungarian market.

🤡 Gulyás emphasized that the Hungarian government will not support Ukraine at any international forums until the use of the Hungarian minority language in Ukraine is restored, especially in education.

🇸🇪The issue of Sweden's accession to NATO was not ignored either:

💭«Sweden's position shows that they do not want to join NATO <...> In Swedish-Hungarian cooperation, basic respect and a minimum of trust are necessary, but the Swedes have done everything to destroy it.»

🍒And the icing on the cake was when the Hungarian ambassador handed Lukashenko his credentials. From that moment on, the diplomatic mission of the head of this mission in belarus officially began.

🇯🇵Japan will restart the process of discharging water into the sea from the Fukushima Daiichi NPP

🧪 Following a detailed analysis of water samples after the first discharge between August 24 and September 11, the operator TEPCO announced that no radioactive tritium was detected.

🌊This time, it is planned to release about 7,800 tons of water from the tanks over 17 days. On Tuesday, preparations will begin to check the tritium level when the treated water will be diluted with seawater before release.

🇨🇳As a reminder, China has imposed sanctions on the import of products from 10 prefectures in Japan, and ignores the government's requests to lift the ban and engage in science-based discussions with experts from both countries.

🇭🇺🤡«We don't know how big the territory of this country will be» - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, commenting on Ukraine's accession to the EU

🗣«We cannot avoid the question - when we negotiate in Brussels in the fall about the future of Ukraine - whether we can actually seriously consider membership for a country to start accession talks with a country that is at war,» Orban said in an interview with state radio.

🤦‍♂️Orban added that "it would be unprecedented to accept a country into the EU without knowing its parameters".

🗣Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleh Nikolenko commented on the prime minister's statement on Facebook:

😎 «We note positively that the Prime Minister of Hungary is concerned about Ukraine's accession to the European Union. We would like to inform you that Ukraine has not changed its territory within the internationally recognized borders.»

🇪🇺As a reminder, in December, the EU countries are to decide whether to allow Ukraine to start accession negotiations, which will require the unanimous support of all 27 members, including Hungary.

🇺🇦🤝🇫🇷Ukraine and France sign a number of defense agreements and memorandums

🪖French Minister of the Armed Forces Sebastien Lecornu, along with representatives of the defense industry and members of parliament, arrived in Kyiv to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky, Defense Minister Rustam Umerov, and Minister for Strategic Industries Oleksandr Kamyshyn.

🔼The purpose of the talks was to discuss the development of French assistance to Ukraine in the face of the risk of the conflict dragging on in the long term. Sebastien Lecornu emphasized the need for Paris to demonstrate "endurance" in supporting Ukraine.

🗣«We are going to move from the logic of selling our shares to the logic of industrial partnership,» he said.

🤝 Representatives of twenty French companies specializing in the production of military equipment (armored vehicles, artillery, drones, cyber defense and demining) signed about ten agreements and memorandums with Ukrainian manufacturers.

🌐 The visit was part of the first international defense industry forum organized by Ukraine. It was attended by major defense companies from more than 20 countries of the North Atlantic Alliance.

🔹 In particular, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg dedicated a video message to the forum, in which he emphasized the importance of developing Ukraine's defense industry and the heroism of the Ukrainian military.

🗣«But courage alone cannot stop drones, heroism alone cannot intercept missiles. Ukraine needs high quality capabilities, in large quantities and quickly,» the Secretary General said.

⚔️ Heavy fighting continues west of Verbove

👤 The Defense Forces have partial success near the T-0803 road. They are unable to gain a foothold on the road from Robotyne near the village. The main reason is that the enemy is counterattacking and doing so with elite paratrooper units. Thus, now both north of the village and south of it, there are katsap troops, who are harder to break through than those whom our troops wiped out in August.

⚔️ The enemy did not capture Orikhovo-Vasylivka

⚔ Despite all the statements of the ruzzian propagandists, the enemy is not successful in the village and its outskirts. This information was confirmed to us by the commander of the 23rd battalion of the 56th Mechanized Brigade.

🦅 Soldiers of the 82nd Air Assault Brigade (Rubak) effectively inflict fire on the enemy in the southwestern areas of Verbove

🚩The video shows the level of ruzzian fortification defenses, specifically dragon's teeth and trenches, which they use to try and hold off the advancing Defense Forces. It's important to note that the katsaps forces are making use of every opportunity to establish new positions, but the Armed Forces are working to counter this by continuously inflicting fire damage.

🌳A significant concentration of enemy forces is located in forest belts where they set up their positions and equipment. Each of these forest belts serves as a "line of defense" that is actively discussed in the public space. Consequently, this complicates advancement as fighting takes place over every inch of ground.

Situation on the frontlines as of the end of the day on October 2, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian, Siverskyi and Bilhorod directions — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — the enemy attempted to improve its tactical position in the area of Synkivka but failed. Traditionally, it is hot in Serebryansk forestry, but with the arrival of the Azov Brigade, the enemy is more afraid to conduct assault operations.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — heavy fighting continues near Andriivka and east of the railroad. The area around Andriivka has been clarified.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — the enemy conducted offensive operations in Marinka and near Krasnohorivka but had no success. In addition, the katsaps were attacking from Kruta Balka and in Opytne, and numerous attempts were also unsuccessful. Successes of the 59th Motorized Brigade near Nevelske for the period of August-September have been noted. For understandable reasons, advancements in this area have not been reported in real-time; however, fighting in this region is ongoing.

▶️ On the Berdiansk direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — managed to stop the enemy's counterattack near Novoprokopivka and push the enemy back. Fighting continues near Verbove, the katsaps are in no hurry to retreat. Katsaps continue to send reserves to Zaporizhzhia.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. Increasing reports about the return of "wagner" mercenaries to the front; awaiting confirmation. Heavy fighting is going on south of Bakhmut, it is difficult to assess it, because both we and the f**kers are suffering significant losses. The situation near the Robotyne salient increasingly resembles a stalemate, neither side being able to cut off the bulge or expand flanks. A mistake by the enemy could provide an opportunity for operational advancement.

🇦🇲The National Assembly of Armenia voted to ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court

🙋🏻‍♂️Parliament passed the bill with 60 votes in favor and 22 against. The opposition factions of the National Assembly "Armenia Alliance" and "I Have Honor" voted against. Armenia signed the Rome Statute on October 1, 1999, after which the ratification process was suspended because the Constitutional Court in 2004 recognized some of the obligations set forth in the statute as contrary to the Constitution. In March 2023, the Court reconsidered this position and recognized compliance.

💬The Representative for International Legal Affairs, Yeghishe Kirakosyan, said very interesting words about accountability: "The International Criminal Court investigates serious international crimes within its jurisdiction, and the purpose of the court is to bring to justice those who have committed serious international crimes. These include war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. There are also new changes to the statute, one of which is the change made at the Kampala conference in 2010, which added the crime of aggression to the list of crimes."

⚖️Of course, these words were directed towards the actions of Azerbaijan, with which Armenia is in conflict. But the most interesting thing is whether these words will be taken into account in relation to the aggression of Muscovy, because the ratification of the Rome Statute of the ICC obliges Armenia to arrest the Pootin for whom the judges of the International Criminal Court have issued an arrest warrant.

📍Earlier, in April, Armenians stated that this would not affect bilateral relations between the two countries, and they would not arrest the pootin when he would appear on Armenian territory. But today the situation has changed. It will be interesting to see the next steps, because the rules are not excluded from the game, it is played according to all the norms. And practice has shown Armenia that you cannot sit on two chairs at the same time.
