Russians Denying Medical Care to Ukraine Prisoners
Jails controlled by Russia are deliberately withholding medical care for Ukrainian prisoners, with doctors in one prison even taking part in what it called "torture", a commission mandated by the UN rights council.
The commission, set up by the Human Rights Council to investigate violations in Ukraine since Russia's invasion, had already concluded that Moscow's occupying forces were using torture "systematically".
Beyond the torture and rape in prison camps or the rape of women in occupied towns, Mose denounced "the lack of adequate medical assistance to those who desperately needed it" in detention centres controlled by Moscow.
Russia deliberately restricts international shipping in the waters of the Sea of Azov in order to take possession of it and the Kerch Strait. Russia illegally built the Kerch Bridge, which has created a permanent obstacle to shipping, in particular for large international vessels carrying Ukrainian goods.
This was stated by the ambassador on special assignment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Anton Korynevych, during his speech at the court in The Hague, the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine report.
The Crimean Bridge is not just an engineering structure, but also a powerful symbol of Russian aggression against Ukraine and the occupation of Ukrainian Crimea. Built after the illegal annexation of the peninsula in 2014, the bridge became a vital artery for the supply of Russian troops to the occupied territories of Ukraine.
The bridge is clear evidence of Russia's violation of international law and Ukraine's territorial integrity. It serves as the main route for the movement of Russian military equipment, ammunition and other resources to the occupied territories of southern Ukraine.
The building is a legitimate target for the Ukrainian military. For example, the bridge was successfully hit on October 8, 2022 and July 17, 2023.
Korynevich also emphasized the importance of dismantling the Crimean bridge and restoring free passage through the Kerch Strait.

The Iranian president says his country doesn't support Moscow as Tehran allegedly transfers ballistic missiles to Russia.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian claimed on Sept. 23 on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York that his country had never supported Russia's invasion of Ukraine and denied supplying ballistic missiles to Russia, the Guardian reported.
Washington confirmed on Sept. 10 earlier media reports that Russia had received shipments of Iranian Fath-360 close-range ballistic missiles. A day prior, Iran denied it had delivered ballistic missiles to Russia, claiming the ongoing reports were "psychological warfare."
"We are willing to sit down with the Europeans and the Americans to have a dialogue and negotiations. We have never approved of Russian aggression against Ukrainian territory," Pezeshkian claimed in New York.
Pezeshkian became the country's president on Aug. 30, 2024. During his first press conference after taking office he also denied supplying ballistic missiles to Russia.
"There may have been such deliveries in the past. But I can assure you that there have been no such deliveries to Russia since I took office," Pezeshkian said.
Ukraine, the E.U., and the U.S. introduced more sanctions against Iran in the wake of the confirmation of the missile delivery to Russia.
The confirmation of the deliveries marked a "further escalation of Iran's military support to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine," the U.K., France, and Germany said in their Sept. 10 joint statement.

Russian warship opens fire on Norwegian vessel in Arctic
A Russian warship demanded that a Norwegian fishing vessel leave an area in the Arctic Ocean, and when it failed to do so, it fired warning shots, according to the captain of the damaged vessel, Øystein Orten. He and his five-man crew encountered the Russian Navy's large anti-submarine ship Admiral Levchenko on September 12. "They called me on the radio: 'This is a Russian warship, you need to leave this area.' I replied that this was out of the question," Orten recounted the exchange.
The 163-metre-long warship then charged towards the 15-metre-long fishing boat, blaring its horn and firing a warning shot that exploded in the water near the Norwegian vessel. “It was a huge explosion, our boat shook,” Orten said, adding that they quickly sailed to a safe distance.
The incident took place in Norway's exclusive economic zone in the Barents Sea, which is shared between Norway and Russia. Russian forces had previously conducted exercises and launched missiles in the Norwegian economic zone, angering local fishermen.

Russian propagandist Solovyev appears to call for Putin's resignation.
There is however some uncertainty if he said "Otstavka", meaning resignation or "Stavka", calling for the creation of a "headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.
The uncertainty might be enough to save him from the known dangers of failure-prone russian windows.
The conversation was about Ukraine's counter attack in the Kursk region of ruzzia, which Solovyev is not happy about.
At the very least, it is exposing Putin's inability to protect his own country and people.
🫡 GUR units liberated the Vovchan Aggregate Plant from the occupiers
✔️ As a result of an extremely complex and successful operation, the GUR units completely liberated the territory of the Vovchan Aggregate Plant and destroyed the occupiers in all the buildings of the enterprise.
🫡 On Tuesday, September 24, at 2:40 p.m., the commander of the GUR special unit Timur reported to the head of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kyryl Budanov about the successful completion of the operation.
🦉 The operation was carried out by special groups of GUR: "Stugna", "Paragon", "Yunger", BDK, "Terror".
🤜 The fighters of the GUR MOU carried out a systematic sweep of the plant's buildings, constantly engaging in contact battles with the enemy in densely built-up conditions. In some cases, Ukrainian special forces engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
📣 the Russians turned the aggregate plant into their propaganda "fortress", using in its defense the most motivated and professional units, among which there were even fighters of the 45th brigade of SpP airborne troops (Kubinka, Moscow).
⚡️ In addition, a significant amount of artillery, kamikaze attack drones, KABs and heavy Solntsepok flamethrower systems were continuously used against Ukrainian scouts.
👥 Despite the fierce resistance of the enemy, the fighters of the GUR MOU managed to destroy the enemy, take prisoners and replenish the exchange fund.
