👀🚀🚀 A Himars MLRS strike on a concentration of Russian troops delivering ammunition for a howitzer in the Luhansk region
🤔 The Ukrainian Armed Forces lost 80,000 soldiers killed and another 400,000 wounded. The Russian Armed Forces lost 200,000 soldiers killed and another 500,000 wounded — The Wall Street Journal, citing sources in the American government
The publication notes that such losses are problematic for both sides, but they are much more damaging to Ukraine, whose population is four times smaller than that of the Russian Federation. "The high and rapidly growing casualty figures on both sides underscore that in the long term they will have devastating consequences for countries that were struggling with population decline before the conflict"

Opinion: IMF's trip to Moscow is effectively enabling Russia's war against Ukraine
You probably haven't heard that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is preparing to send a mission to Russia. That’s because top IMF officials have been trying to draw as little public attention to their plans as possible – which ought to tell you something. Fund officials themselves know that this is a scandal in the making, write Tymofiy Mylovanov and Nataliia Shapoval in this op-ed.
The IMF is about to send its first official mission to Russia since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Overnight, the Russian military airbase in Engels, Saratov region, came under attack by strike drones.
This airfield hosts strategic Tu-95MS bombers, armed with X-101 missiles, which Russia uses to attack Ukrainian cities.

⚡️Zelensky has signed a law to create a new structure within the Armed Forces of Ukraine — Unmanned Systems Forces
Financial Times Report September 14.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer left Washington after talks with President Joe Biden on Friday amid signs the US may be prepared to shift its position on the use of long-range missiles by Ukraine in the coming days.
Although the meeting between the two leaders ended without an announcement, there were indications that Biden might be willing to let the UK allow Ukraine to use their Storm Shadow missiles, which rely on American navigational data and other technology.
“This wasn’t about a particular decision . . . we’ll obviously pick it up again at the UN General Assembly, in just a few days’ time with a wider group of individuals,” Starmer told reporters after the meeting.
Some officials predicted Washington would ultimately allow Ukraine to use the American-provided, ground-launched Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMS.
The US has been reluctant to provide the weapons despite persistent requests by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over fears their deployment could escalate the conflict with Russia.
“There is no change to our view on the provision of long-range strike capabilities for Ukraine to use inside Russia, and I wouldn’t expect any sort of major announcement in that regard coming out of the discussions,” US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said before Friday’s summit.
