KHARKIV UPDATE
The front here has not been stagnant, with a constant ebb and and flow of fighting.
The Russians have been trying to hold on, especially in Vovchansk, while the Ukrainian campaign to undermine their ability to do so has been persistent.
Ukrainian use of air strikes, their dogged persistence in blocking every move the Russians try to make to improve their position, has finally paid off.
The Russian strategy was this attempt to create a buffer zone to stop the repeated raids over the border, with a secondary objective of eventually, combined operations for an attack on Kupiansk, a key defensive town on the northern most part of the Eastern Front.
The Kursk operation denied both sides the forces required to bring their plans to fruition.
The intensified use of drones but for recon and attack, has isolated the Russians in Vovchansk further from supplies and reinforcements.
A Mig-29 Strike using GBU-39 bombs with delayed fuses, hit the main Russian operating base in the town, at the former hospital, totally levelling it.
It’s believed commanders and two companies were destroyed.
The Russians have tried to prise the Ukrainians out of Tike to the east of the town using bombs, and thermobaric artillery, failing to dislodge them.
Tike is on a hill, and the Ukrainians have seen Russians attempts to prepare assaults on it and ended them before they could begin, mostly with artillery strikes.
In a swift move the Ukrainians in Northern Vovchansk were able to sweep east as forces from Tike swept west, meeting in the middle and creating for the first time, a unified front.
Russia doesn’t have the resources to put into this front to make any real difference right now, and too a point nor do the Ukrainians, but Ukraine is making the most of what it has and exploits it to provide future advantages.
This at least is good news as the Pokrovsk front continues to be exceptionally stressful, with endless strings of small Russian gains. They still haven’t stopped trying to advance despite the huge cost.

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦!
Maria Stratulat was 14 years old. She lived in Kyiv and studied at specialized school No. 307 with in-depth study of natural sciences. She adored animals, helped the charity project "Four-legged Santa".
At school, she took an active part in various activities, was interested in learning a foreign language, and worked hard in additional courses.
"Polite and friendly, always ready to help. She was loved and respected for her sincerity. She studied best in the class, diligent and hard-working," said class teacher Vlada Dyatlova.
On July 8, 2024, Maria Stratulat died as a result of an enemy missile attack on Kyiv. Her younger brother, 8-year-old Andriyka , died nearby, and Anastasia's mother was hospitalized.
You might remember Kadyrov mounted a machinegun on his cybertruck which is against the rules and restrictions Tesla laid out.
Looks like as a consequence Elon Musk remotely disabled the vehicle.
👍😁
"Are you seriously so retarded that you think I gave a Cybertruck to a Russian general? This is amazing," Musk wrote, responding to a journalist’s tweet.

Kadyrov said he had sent "two more" Cybertrucks "to the special military operation zone."
Earlier, he complained that Elon Musk had "remotely disabled one vehicle."
Kadyrov said that the "remote shutdown did not affect" the other two pickup trucks and that they were "operating normally and smoothly."
The two Cybertrucks shown in the video are equipped with weapons - as is the vehicle Kadyrov showed in August. The video also shows drones being shot down. Where and when (and why) it was filmed is unknown.
The two Air Force bases in Alaska are Elmendorf and Eilson. The Army base in Fairbanks has a huge airfield. But none of them are named Bagram.

⚡️ Kyiv 2nd worst in world's air quality amid sudden pollution surge.
Kyiv authorities warned about sharp and "temporary deterioration" of air quality in Kyiv on Sept. 20 due to the accumulation of harmful substances.
The likely cause is fires in Kyiv Oblast that released large amounts of dust particles into the air, the environmental department of the Kyiv city military administration said.
