Timeline of war: day 211 of russia's war in Ukraine
Key events
Ukrainian Army's successes
🇺🇦 The news we have all been waiting for. Another 215 prisoners were released from captivity, including 108 defenders of "Azovstal" in Mariupol. Among them are 5 commanders of the "Azov" regiment, Kateryna "Ptashka" Polishchuk and Dmytro Kozatskyi, the author of the photos of the Azov people that flew all over the world. We believe that this is only the beginning! Currently, Ukraine is working on an "all for all" exchange.
📌 Two US citizens also returned from russian captivity thanks to Ukraine's efforts. Five Britons, a Swede, and a Moroccan who fought for Ukraine were released through the mediation of the Saudi Prince.
📌 Ukraine handed over 55 prisoners and Viktor Medvedchuk to russia. His testimony is recorded – thanks to it, several agent networks were neutralized, many state traitors were detained, and a large amount of crucial information was obtained, which the SSU uses in counterintelligence activities.
📌 Ukrainian marines destroyed a Mi-24 helicopter and two enemy drones of the "Orlan-10" type. Our aircraft made 21 strikes against the enemy from the sky.
📌 In Kherson Oblast, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed several enemy command posts and ammunition depots. The enemy's losses are 41 rocket launchers, 4 tanks, 12 units of other armored vehicles, and the Buk-M2/3 anti-aircraft missile system. The radar station "Zoopark" in Krutyi Yar was also destroyed.
Destroyed today:
- The command post of the occupiers in Nova Kakhovka,
- The UAV control point in Beryslav district, Kherson region.
📌 In the Zaporizhzhia direction, a russian Mi-8 helicopter was shot down using the IGLA MANPADS.
📌 Yesterday evening, it was also very loud in Kherson. In the area of the railway Antonivsky bridge, there is a hit in a cluster of russist equipment at the ferry crossing. Another blow fell on the building of the fire station.
📌As a result of the explosion in the occupied Melitopol of the Zaporizhzhia region, the occupiers lost 6 soldiers, Mayor Ivan Fedorov said.
📌 "Partial mobilization" in the russian federation will not prevent Ukraine from liberating the occupied territories during the winter, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) claims. putin's order to conscript the reserve will not create a significant russian combat force in the coming months. And it will not help the enemy to change the course of the war.
📌 Meanwhile, local telegram channels write that our special forces are already near occupied Enerhodar, Zaporizhzhia.
📌 The Security Service of Ukraine reported the suspicion to a Kyiv-based blogger, who filmed provocative streams discrediting the Armed Forces of Ukraine for russian media.
📌 Computer troops also work fruitfully. Hackers of the international group Anonymous hacked the website of the Ministry of Defense of the russian federation and leaked the data of 305,925 people who will be mobilized first.
russia's war crimes
📌 Nine missiles were fired at Zaporizhzhia; there are people under the rubble. russists also hit a TV tower and an electrical substation. According to preliminary data, one person died, and five others were injured.
📌 Another 9 rockets landed in Mykolaiv. Various areas of the city were hit — high-rise buildings, a gas pipeline, a water pipeline, a cinema and theater yard, and administrative facilities were damaged. According to preliminary data, there are no casualties.
Also, in Mykolaiv, russian S-300 missiles landed on the seaport territory. There is damage.
📌 The photo shows the consequences of yesterday's shelling of the Kholodnohirsky district of Kharkiv, where the occupiers struck the railway. Cars and buildings near the railway are reported to have been damaged. Refrigerated wagons with the bodies of the occupiers were also hit.
📌 Five people, including a 13-year-old boy, were injured due to yesterday's russian shelling in Kupyansk, Kharkiv region. A 55-year-old resident of the village of Strelecha was also wounded.
📌 During the night, the occupiers hit Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk Region, with "Hrads." A young man died, 17 high-rise and private buildings, and a gas pipeline and power lines were damaged in the city.
📌 Donetsk region: On September 21, occupiers killed 5 civilians of the Donetsk region, and another 12 people were injured.
📌 In Sumy Oblast, the occupiers shelled 3 border communities during the past day. No casualties.
📌 The occupiers forcibly evicted people from two villages of the Luhansk region in order to equip bases there without witnesses. Before the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine, more than two thousand people lived in the settlements. People were taken deep into the occupied territory; their whereabouts are unknown.
📌 The russists staged a provocation in the Central Market of the occupied Melitopol — the explosion was set up, thus eliminating six soldiers.
The occupiers also shelled the Covered Market in occupied Donetsk. Six people died, and another six were injured. Fear, terror, and the elimination of the objectionable are three components that russia constantly demonstrates in the occupied territories.
📌 russia massively uses Iranian drones, which it "did not buy in Iran." OK "Pivden" reports that russia destroyed a port tugboat in Ochakiv, Mykolaiv Oblast, with the help of an Iranian drone "Shahed-136". The second drone was shot down. A building in Kryvyi Rih was also hit with the same ammunition.
In this regard, Ukraine asked Israel to reveal intelligence about Iran's military support to russia.
📌 According to the National Information Bureau, since February 24, the occupiers have removed 7,754 children from Ukraine. This was reported to the Ombudsman Office. Another 233 children are considered missing, 391 are dead, and 764 are injured.
📌 russians want to involve children in voting in the "referendum" in the so-called "DNR." The occupiers intend to involve residents aged 13 to 17 in pseudo-voting to expand the "electoral base." Parents or guardians must accompany minors.
Life considering war
📌 Male students of foreign universities will no longer be able to travel abroad during martial law. The corresponding decision was made due to the mass falsification of documents. Only during July-August about 600 such cases were discovered.
📌 On September 23 and 24, at fifteen stations of the Kyiv metro, medics of the Center for Emergency Medical Assistance and Disaster Medicine will teach the basics of pre-medical care to all willing.
📌 More and more Ukrainians want to stay living and work in Ukraine, the September Ministry of Education and Culture survey shows. Compared to October 2020, the share of those who are ready to leave to live in the USA or the EU has decreased fourfold — from 28% to 7%. At the same time, increased the number of those who would not want to leave, even in case of unconditional acquisition of US or EU citizenship — from 69% to 91%.
