The OK “South” confirmed that on September 28, the Russian occupation forces on the southern front lost 18 soldiers, 2 tanks, and 6️ armored and automotive vehicles.
Commanders from Azovstal will meet their relatives
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that the commanders from Azovstal, who are currently in Turkey, will soon be able to meet their relatives.
He noted that the implementation of the plan to help each of those who were recently released from captivity has already begun. They will receive first aid and primarily medical support.
More air defense systems from Germany
Germany decided to transfer four IRIS-T SLM air defense systems to Ukraine, although only one was initially planned.
“Substantial restriction” of the rights of Russians to enter Finland
On September 29, the Finnish government will adopt a resolution that will “significantly restrict” the right of Russian citizens to enter the country as tourists.
In addition, it is planned to limit Russians' use of Finland for transit when traveling to other Schengen countries. Furthermore, government officials will consider ways to strengthen control of the border between Finland and Russia with the help of a border fence.
Putin's pressure on Lukashenko
The Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, Oleksiy Danilov, said that Russian President Vladimir Putin is putting pressure on self-proclaimed President Oleksandr Lukashenko every day to start armed aggression on the part of Belarus.
“I do not think that Lukashenko will make such a decision. But if troops march from the side of Belarus, as was the case on February 24, they will receive a response they did not expect,” Danilov noted.
