According to a Ukrainian officer engaged in combat in the south, Ukrainian troops have reportedly penetrated the most formidable Russian defence line and may now move more swiftly. The leader, who went by the alias "Kombat" and led some of the soldiers inside Robotyne hamlet, declared, "We don't stop here. "Beradisk is the next stop, followed by more. I immediately made it plain to my guys that [the Sea of] Azov was our ultimate objective and not Robotyne. After capturing Robotyne earlier this week, Ukrainian forces, according to the Washington, DC-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW), are moving ahead in the Zaporizhia area.

According to a statement from the country's air force, two L-39 training aircraft collided in midair in central Ukraine, killing three Ukrainian pilots. Andrii Pilshchykov, one of the most well-known fighter pilots in the nation, was among the dead.

According to the local governor Oleh Syniehubov, a Russian shelling attack on a cafe in the hamlet of Podoly in the eastern Ukrainian district of Kharkiv resulted in two fatalities and a third person being injured.

Russia claimed that air defences shot down a drone above Moscow during an incident that compelled officials to temporarily close all three of the city's major airports.

The governor of Russia's Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, accused Ukraine of employing "cluster munitions" in an assault on the village of Urazovo, which was around 10 kilometres (6 miles) from the border and resulted in six casualties.

Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, commanded soldiers from the mercenary Wagner organisation to swear loyalty to the Russian government. All private military contractors will now be required to take an oath, which is viewed as a clear attempt to place these organisations under stricter governmental supervision. In the weeks after Russia's full-scale invasion, the German magazine Der Spiegel conducted a thorough and in-depth investigation of the attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines, concluding that "a striking number of clues point to Ukraine."

After the present embargo expires on September 15, the Ukrainian foreign ministry deemed it "categorically unacceptable" for import restrictions imposed by the EU on its grain. Grain imports from Ukraine are particularly opposed in Poland, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary owing to concerns that they would undercut local farmers.

Following a report that Washington had requested Tehran to cease providing drones to Moscow, Sergey Ryabkov, the deputy foreign minister of Russia, reaffirmed Moscow's commitment to preserve relations with Iran. Ryabkov stated, "There are no changes, and cooperation with Iran will continue," according to a report from the Russian state news agency RIA. We reject the demands of the United States and its satellites because we are sovereign states.
