Ukraine attacked a chemical plant in Tolyatti, a city on the Volga River between Saratov and Kazan.

The shadow tanker Armada Leader was struck by a Ukrainian drone despite having a Russian helicopter to defend it.

Bavovna

Resistance is futile.

WARNING: Video shows Russian getting hit by a drone.

When your brain(?) hits 999 ping at the worst possible moment. A russian invader, seeing or hearing a Ukrainian FPV drone, decided to just freeze in place 😐

Pro tip: Standing still doesn’t make you invisible

Great naval battles of the future might be fought without sailors.

The T-90M is Russia’s most advanced mass-produced tank. reports indicate Russia can crank out about 300 of these a year.

Russians on Sept. 2 near town of Dobropillia in Donetsk Oblast murdered two Ukrainian prisoners with automatic weapons.

That’s not how Ukrainians treat captured Russians.

Ukraine has been aiding rebel movements in African countries where Russia is active.

Russia hit a bus stop and a passenger train.

Another terrorist act as a Russian drone struck a passenger train at Lutsk railway station in western Ukraine, approximately 650 kilometres (400 miles) from the nearest active frontline in northern Sumy Oblast and more than 800 kilometres from the Donbas front.

Another 1,500 Russians whose time was up, plus 11 air-defense systems and six rocket launchers.

Oops.

😁In Tatarstan, the Russian Armed Forces’ air defense system shot down a light aircraft, mistaking it for an Ukrainian strike UAV. Two pilots died.

Good job! Well done. pic.twitter.com/6pe4zW9a4Y

Ukraine isn’t the only one facing a severe shortage of air defense missiles.

🚨 Report: Russian air defence interceptor stocks are severely depleted, increasing vulnerability of strategic infrastructure.And FP-7 ballistic missiles are expected to strike Russia for the first time in the next few weeks.What an interesting coincidence. 💥

One of the lessons of this war is that you cannot allow a foreigner to be making decisions about your access to satellite guidance systems. Everyone is going to want their own Starlink system.

🇵🇱 Poland plans to develop a military satellite communications system, MILSATCOM, which would serve as an alternative to Starlink. The announcement was made by Polish defense giant PGZ during the MSPO 2026 international defense exhibition.

Another Russian missile failure.

flight path all the way to the Kura test range in Kamchatka and warned residents of the Tyumen region about possible missile debris.

However, the test never took place. The last test of the Avangard was conducted back in December 2018.

Putin claimed that the weapon “has no analogues,” while Russian officials said its hypersonic glide vehicle could reach speeds of up to Mach 27.

According to SIPRI, as of the beginning of 2026, Russia had 12 Avangards in service, with a range of 10,000 kilometers and one warhead each.

Putin said Russia was forced to invade Ukraine by NATO’s aggression etc., etc., blah, blah, blah.

“The Western globalist elites are to blame for this, although they keep shifting the blame onto us.”— Putin, explaining the “root cause” of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.Watch his facial expressions. He looks like a 7-year-old lying to his mom about clogging the toilet.

This is the second explosion at an ammunition facility in Bulgaria.

Good grief.

Usmanov is a metals/telecom billionaire; Fridman co-founded Alfa Group. Slovakia’s push to delist Usmanov followed a request from Erdoğan to Fico, while France reportedly backs his removal to unlock EU sanctions renewal.

This story is from Myanmar and has nothing to do with Ukraine other than this — to make the point that drones are now everywhere. War can no longer be fought without taking drones into account.

Quand on voit les images des combats au Yémen 🇾🇪, au Liban 🇱🇧 ou au Mali 🇲🇱, on voit que le drone FPV est utilisé comme un accessoire.

En Birmanie 🇲🇲, il est au cœur des combats, fabriqué artisanalement et piloté par de jeunes résistants pro-démocratie.

Rest in peace.

A reminder to the rest of the world: we are still here, in Ukraine. russians continue to take the lives of Ukrainians literally every day, every hour. Year after year. For many here, there are no days off in the usual sense, for those who are still holding back and pushing away… pic.twitter.com/2W1luS4Exr

Home construction.

Energy workers secured a stork nest to a utility pole so the birds can return to it after wintering. A witness shared the video and thanked the workers for their care

Probably one of the most thankless jobs in any military.

Translation: “WAKE UP, GET UP” – she still hears her mother’s words. A woman from Dnipro prepares the dead for farewell.

She molds ruined faces, erases the traces of death, and does what most people turn away from.

She has seen what no one dreams of. And she does it so that loved ones can say goodbye.

Olena is a thanatopractor. Her job is to restore a human appearance to the deceased. The most difficult cases are soldiers. Once, she was preparing a defender who had lain in a field for several days.

The body hadn’t decomposed—it was cool. But animals had gnawed away half his face: lips, cheeks, nose, eyes. Only exposed bone remained. She worked on the body for 15 hours.

Sometimes bodies have to be assembled from fragments. Sometimes—she works right in the hearse because there’s little time.

“ПРОКИНЬСЯ, ВСТАВАЙ” – ці слова матері вона чує досі. Жінка з Дніпра готує мертвих до прощання.

Вона ліпить зруйновані обличчя, стирає сліди смерті й робить те, від чого більшість відвертається.

Вона бачила те, що не сниться нікому. І робить це, щоб рідні могли попрощатися.… pic.twitter.com/Vdo6qsAJ0R

Yes, there is an air raid but those cucumbers aren’t going to weed themselves.

We’ll get straight to the point: The financial hardships that Daily Kos is facing this year are tough.

We continue to be paywall-free. We continue to be supported by our readers, not billionaires or corporations. But we need to bring in more revenue. We are leaning on our community more than ever to help make ends meet.

Power matters.
