In late May 2022, 27 Ukrainian musicians from three military orchestras stationed in Mariupol were captured by the Russians.
These individuals are members of the orchestras of the National Guard of Ukraine, the 36th Marine Brigade Orchestra, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine Orchestra. Their current condition and whereabouts remain unknown.
The "Bring the Band Home" project, initiated by Anastasia Emeljanenko, ardently advocates for the return of these Ukrainian musicians to their homeland. As part of this initiative, the families of these prisoners of war musicians collaborated with the creative group Tablefruit and their partners to create the art project "Broken Melody." They also produced a video clip set to the music of the Ukrainian composer and artist Nastya Vogan.
A sheet music with blank spaces is understandable even for those who have little knowledge of musical notation. A violin that no longer plays, as its strings are replaced by barbed wire. These art pieces demand attention and distribution. Each one, in its own unique way, powerfully conveys the horror and brutality inflicted by Russian occupiers upon cultural figures.
It remains a 'Broken Melody' until all these musicians are back home.

🇧🇪 Belgium to provide its F-16s for Ukrainian training
According to the decision of the Belgian government, six Ukrainian instructors and four mission planners will be trained in Belgium to further train Ukrainian pilots and other personnel on F-16s.
In addition, in the coming weeks, the Belgian Ministry of Defense will send a group of military personnel to a training center for Ukrainian F-16 pilots in Denmark.
In 2024, the Belgian Ministry of Defense will send two two-seat F-16B training aircraft to Denmark for advanced training, as well as a contingent of about fifty military personnel, mostly technicians, who will be responsible for the deployment of F-16s.

‼️ The aggressor state of Russia has been receiving projectiles from North Korea for a month and a half , - the head of the GUR Kyrylo Budanov
"When they say that now Putin will write or sign, it's all a lie, because a month and a half ago everything was agreed and the shipment of [shells] from North Korea began," Budanov said.
the DPRK supplies the Russian Federation with 122-mm and 152-mm ammunition, missiles for the Grad anti-aircraft missile system, and a certain number of tank shells.
North Korea is capable of producing projectiles in significant quantities, because, unlike Russia, the regime in Pyongyang has kept facilities for serial production of weapons.
☑️ According to the Military Intelligence, Russian air defense enterprises satisfy the planned needs of the occupying army in projectiles by only 3-7%.
💬 According to Budanov, the supply of North Korean weapons can somewhat appease the occupiers' hunger for projectiles.
👉 The Kremlin seeks to receive million batches of ammunition from North Korea.
"This is such an order. And how much the Koreans will be able to transfer quickly is a question," he added.
Like tens of thousands of Ukrainian children, the heroine of this video, 8-year-old Valya Zhurbenko, was kidnapped by russian invaders. Those Ukrainian children were separated from their families, forcibly taken to russia and Belarus, given up for adoption, deprived of the right to speak their native language and brought up in the ideology of ruscism - which equates to hatred of everything Ukrainian. Valya, like all these children, can only dream of reuniting with her parents, and returning to Ukraine. She can see her escape and her return to Ukraine only in her dreams. The entire world must join forces to make these children’s dreams come true.
We will locate each and every kidnapped child. We will return all of them.

❗ Russian forces dropped a bomb on a residential neighborhood in Nova Kakhovka, a city in southern Ukraine that is currently under Russian occupation.
💬 Russia claims Ukraine bombed Nova Kakhovka, but all evidence points to Russia's incompetence. This is not the first time the occupiers have dropped their bombs like this. Even on their own territory, we remember Belgorod, — Ukrainian military spokesperson.
The flag in Andriivka is nowhere to be installed, it has been destroyed, said the press officer of the third assault brigade Borodin.
"Andriivka herself is no longer there. We state the fact: it was completely destroyed. But as a place, the area is important.
This (control over Andriivka) is an important step, after which you can take further steps in the environment," he added.
👀 A satellite image has been published confirming a strike on Russian air defense systems in Yevpatoria
The photo was received by Radio Liberty. It was taken on the morning of September 14 and confirms the defeat of the S-400 system.
Russia has not yet officially commented on the destruction of its complex.
The cost of the S-400 system is estimated at $1.2 billion.
The location of Triumph was established thanks to a tourist who took a photo near the complex.
