Humanitarian aspect:

In Kryvyi Rih, the local rescuers worked all night to contain the water that spilt after the Russian rocket attack on the Karachun Dam on the evening of September 14. The Russian military fired 8 “Kinzhal” and “Kalibr” missiles on the dam. The head of the city’s military administration, Oleksandr Vilkul, said that 112 private houses and yards were flooded. People were evacuated. According to Oleksandr Vilkul, two dams in the Chornohorka area had to be blown up for the water to recede faster. Several water pipes were also damaged due to the rocket attack. Almost 5,000 people were left with no running water.

Another enemy missile strike hit the city’s hydraulic facilities in Kryvyi Rih on the evening of September 15. Oleksandr Vilkul said that two missiles were recorded. An industrial enterprise in Kryvyi Rih was hit around 2 p.m., and severe damage was reported.

Around midnight on September 15,   a Russian rocker hit   a high-rise apartment   building in Bakhmut, Donetsk Oblast. A man was rescued from a ruined apartment. Search and rescue operation continues as more people could be under the rubble, Donetsk Oblast Military Administration reported. Over the past day, two people were killed and 13 injured in Donetsk Oblast.

As a result of today’s shelling of Kharkiv Oblast by the Russian troops, 12 people were injured, including two children. According to the head of the Oblast administration Oleh Synehubov, ten people were injured in the Kupyansk district. Among them are children aged 12 and 13. Also, one woman was wounded in the Izyum district and another one in the Kharkiv district.

Around 5:30 p.m. on September 15, the Russian forces shelled the Novooleksandrivska amalgamated community in the Zaporizhzhya district using cluster-type MLRS munitions, Oleksandr Starukh, head of Zaporizhzhia Oblast Military Administration said. The shells hit a field, striking a fire. No causalities or damage were reported.

On the morning of September 15, Zaporizhzhya was again attacked by a Russian missile, secretary of the Zaporizhzhya City Council, Anatoly Kurtev, said. A hit near one of the city’s infrastructure enterprises was recorded. The building windows were blown out, and there was a power outage.

Russian rockets hit the Petrivska community, Kirovohrad Oblast, in the center of Ukraine. “The aggressor is trying to barbarically destroy infrastructure facilities,” the head of Kirovohrad Oblast Military Administration, Andriy Raikovych, said. According to his information, one rocket was shot down by air defense.

40% of Ukrainians have lost their jobs due to the war. Currently, only 23% of the country’s residents continue to work and receive full wages, and 22.5% of Ukrainians continue to work, receiving reduced wages, the personnel portal grc.ua stated in the press release. Of the

Ukrainians left without a job: 19% lost their jobs due to the termination of the company’s activities, another 10.9% of the respondents reported that they were laid off, and 11.3% lost their jobs due to relocation to another region. Ukrinform reported earlier that the number of remote work offers decreased in Ukraine. At the beginning of autumn, only 7% of job offers involved a remote format.

Sixteen local collaborators have been detained after the liberation of the Kharkiv Oblast, the Security Service of Ukraine reports. Additionally, according to the SBU, thirteen have already been charged, and eleven have been arrested. In total, SBU officers conducted an in-depth check of about 7,000 people in the liberated settlements of Kharkiv Oblast.

Occupied territories

Andrii Bilozerov, a teacher at the Bilohirsk Technical School in the occupied Crimea, who played the Ukrainian song “Bayraktar” at the school, was fired. His students reported him. The administration of the Bilohirsk Technical School is under investigation, Krym.Realii reported. Bilozerov was later arrested for 13 days, the press service of the Crimean occupation police department said.

According to the National Resistance Center of the Special Operations forces of Ukraine, in the occupied Kherson Oblast, the Russian occupation authorities opened 91 out of 457 schools on September 1, which is 19.9%. The number is so small because there are no children. Most families have left the region. 15,500 children went to school, 12.3% of the total number. 1,254 children (11.4%) went to the first grade.

Almost no men are left in the occupied Horlivka, Donetsk Oblast, due to forced mobilization [by occupation authorities], the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian MOD reports. The conscription offices were tasked to “mobilize” 6,000 local residents. Raids to find men of military age are ongoing in the Central Market, public places, shops, shopping centers, gas stations, etc. The men from Horlivka, who were previously “mobilized” into the 9th Separate Marine Regiment of the 1st Army Corps of the Russian Army, have been out of contact since September 11. They are known to have been in temporarily captured areas of Kherson Oblast, where they refused to participate in hostilities. The last information that came from them was that the Russian commanders threatened to send all “refuseniks” to the front without weapons.

According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian MOD, Russia does not recognize passports issued in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts; their bearers are not allowed to cross the border into the Russian Federation.

According to Petro Andryushchenko, advisor to Mariupol mayor, people in the city protest spontaneously against the absence of water and electricity in their homes. Andryshchenko published a video of the protest. He also reported that the head and chief energy engineer of the seized Mariupol thermal network have resigned. They don’t want to be blamed for the inability to start the heating season and face punishment.

Operational situation

It is the 204th day of the strategic air-ground offensive operation of the Russian Armed Forces against Ukraine (in the official terminology of the Russian Federation – “operation to protect Donbas”). The enemy continues to concentrate its efforts on establishing full control over the territory of Donetsk Oblast, maintaining control over the temporarily captured territories and disrupting the offensive of the Ukrainian troops in certain directions.

The Russian military is shelling the positions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces along the contact line. The enemy is trying to regroup its troops in separate directions and conducts aerial reconnaissance. The threat of air and missile strikes throughout the territory of Ukraine persists.

The Russian forces continue to attack civilian infrastructure facilities, violating the norms of International Humanitarian Law, laws and customs of war. The infrastructure of more than 30 towns and villages was damaged by air strikes, missile strikes, and the use of MLRS, in particular, Kryvyi Rih, Kharkiv, Kramatorsk, Vovchansk, Kostyantynivka, Lozova, Siversk, Bilohorivka, Mykolaivka, Verkhnokamyanske, Soledar, Bakhmut, Bakhmutske, Vesela Dolyna, Zaitseve, Yuryivka, New York, Pervomaiske, Kamianka, Vremivka, Stepove, Mali Shcherbaky, Sukhy Stavok, Kostromka, Bila Krynytsia, and Myrne.

Over the past 24 hours, the Russian military has launched 8 missile strikes, 19 air strikes, and fired 86 rocket-propelled grenades at military and civilian targets on the territory of Ukraine.

The enemy keeps five BTGs in the border areas of the Russian Bryansk and Kursk oblasts to demonstrate the forward presence and constrain the Ukrainian Defense Forces (combined BTGs from the 144th motorized rifle division, 3rd motorized rifle division, 15th motorized rifle regiment of the 2nd motorized rifle division, 423rd tank regiment of the 4th tank division, 79th motorized rifle regiment of the 18th motorized rifle division, 11th Army Corps).

The Russian military shelled the positions of the Ukrainian troops with mortars and barrel artillery in the areas of Senkivka, Bleshnya and Galaganivka (Chernihiv Oblast) and Stepne, Novovasylivka (Sumy Oblast). They used UAVs with combat load (VOG-17) in the Mkha district (Chernihiv Oblast).

To hold the temporarily captured territories, the Russian military is trying to strengthen the first line of defense in Donetsk and Zaporizhzhya Oblasts. It is moving reserves from the 3rd Army Corps and the remnants of units withdrawn from the Kharkiv direction. At the same time, due to the disruption of their logistical support by the Ukrainian Defense Forces, the units of the Russian Armed Forces performing tasks along the contact line lack certain types of ammunition for MLRS and artillery.

During the past 24 hours, to support the ground groupings, the Ukrainian Air Force carried out 12 strikes on the Russian manpower and equipment concentration areas. As a result, it was confirmed that six areas of Russian manpower concentration, two platoon strongholds and four positions of anti-aircraft fire were destroyed.

Air defense units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed four Russian aircraft in different directions, namely three Su-25 and one Su-24m.

Belarus continues to supply the Russian forces with ammunition. On September 11, 19 wagons with ammunition were sent from the 46th missile and ammunition storage arsenal (Bronna Gora, Brest Oblast, Belarus) to the Bryansk-Lhovsky and Gukovo railway stations (Rostov Oblast, Russia). Since the beginning of the full-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, 18 echelons with ammunition (188 wagons with a total weight of more than 7,677 tons) have been sent from the territory of the Republic of Belarus.

Azov-Black Sea Maritime Operational Area:

The forces of the Russian Black Sea Fleet continue to project force on the coast and the continental part of Ukraine and control the northwestern part of the Black Sea. The ultimate goal is to deprive Ukraine of access to the sea and connect unrecognized Transnistria with the Russian Federation by land through the coast of the Black and Azov seas.

Along the southern coast of Crimea, there are four enemy cruise missile carriers. Up to 32 enemy Kalibr missiles are ready for a salvo.

Additionally, 13 other enemy warships and vessels of the auxiliary fleet of the Russian Black Sea Fleet and the Caspian Flotilla are at sea, providing reconnaissance and blockade of navigation in the Azov-Black Sea waters.

Five large amphibious ships are maneuvering near the southern part of the occupied Crimea, ensuring the combat coordination of the recently created marine infantry grouping based on the 382nd separate battalion of the Russian marines (based in the city of Temryuk, Krasnodar Krai, Russia). The rest of the amphibious ships (8 units) are in the ports of Novorossiysk and Sevastopol for replenishment and scheduled maintenance. There are no signs of preparation for an amphibious assault on the southern coast of Ukraine.

All 4 submarines of project 636.3 are in the port of Novorossiysk.

Russian aviation continues to fly from the Crimean airfields of Belbek and Hvardiyske over the northwestern part of the Black Sea. Over the past day, 12 Su-27, Su-30 and Su-24 aircraft from Belbek and Saki airfields were involved.

On September 15, 11 vessels are scheduled to depart from the ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk and Pivdenny. They have 240,000 tons of agricultural products destined for the countries of Africa, Asia and Europe on board. Since the “grain initiative” started, 3.3 million tons of food have been exported from Ukrainian ports. A total of 145 ships with agricultural products left Ukrainian ports.

Russian officials, however, increasingly make statements that the Russian Federation may not extend the grain agreement, which expires in November 2022 (120 days). In this regard, UN Secretary-General Mr Guterres had a telephone conversation with Russian President Putin on September 14. The UN Secretary-General spoke with Putin, in particular, about the export of Ukrainian grain, expressing hope that the agreement concluded on July 22 by Ukraine, Turkey, and Russia through the mediation of the UN for 120 days will be preserved. At the same time, Guterres also wants it to apply to the export of Russian ammonia. He noted that negotiations are underway on possible ammonia exports from the Russian Federation through the Black Sea since there is a risk of a crisis in the fertilizer market.

Ukraine, general news

According to a public opinion poll, “Trust in the state: how to preserve national unity for the sake of victory”, conducted by the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation and Razumkov Center, the following institutions enjoy the most trust among Ukrainians: 91% of respondents trust the Armed Forces, the State Emergency Service – 82%, the National Guard – 81%, volunteer organizations – 77%, the State Border Service – 74%, volunteer military units – 73%, the President of Ukraine – 71%.

And the following institutions enjoy the lowest trust: 55% of respondents do not trust political parties. Also, 46% of respondents do not trust the judicial system, another 46% – officials, 37% – commercial banks and 19% – the Verkhovna Rada.

The export of Ukrainian goods in January-August 2022 decreased by 31% compared to the same period of the last year and amounted to about $29 billion, Ukrinform reports with reference to the State Customs Service of Ukraine. The export of Ukrainian metals and metal products decreased by more than half (-54%) — $4.7 billion against $10.2 billion in 8 months of 2021. The second place in terms of decline (-53%) is mineral products — January-August 2022 exports amounted to $2.8 billion against $5.9 billion in the same period last year. Exports of chemical industry products decreased by 46% — from $2.4 billion to $1.3 billion.

According to a poll conducted by Kyiv International Institute of Sociology on September 13-17, no territorial concessions to Russia are acceptable to 87% of Ukrainians (this indicator has grown by 3 percentage points compared to July). Only 8% believe that to achieve peace and preserve independence, it is possible to give up some territories (and the share of such people decreased by 2 percentage points compared to July).

International diplomatic aspect

“We highly appreciate the well-balanced position of our Chinese friends in connection with the Ukrainian crisis,” Vladimir Putin told Chinese leader Xi Jinping during their visit to Uzbekistan. In the Chinese readout of the meeting, there wasn’t a specific mention of Ukraine, but Xi promised “strong support” to Russia’s “core interests.”

Meanwhile, while meeting with Russian politicians, Li Zhanshu, a member of the Politburo Standing Committee of the CCP, blamed the US and their NATO allies for the military build-up

along the Russian border, which poses a severe national security threat and threat to the Russian people. “That’s why we fully understand Russia’s measures to safeguard its interests and provide our support. On the Ukrainian issue, we see how they [the US and NATO] put Russia in a stalemate, and Russia made an important decision to turn to the decisive rebuff,” said one of the top Chinese officials.

The US urged China not to back Moscow in its war against Kyiv. “The whole world should be lined up against what Mr. Putin is doing,” stated the White House national security spokesman. John Kirby said it remained to be seen how much China would back Russia’s war, however, noting that Beijing had not moved to support Putin or violated sanctions against Moscow materially.

Germany will send to Ukraine two more MARS II rocket launchers, 200 MLRS rockets, and 50 Dingo armored personnel carriers. Meanwhile, Germany’s foreign minister is putting pressure on Chancellor Olaf Scholz to make up his mind on advanced tanks’ delivery.

General Eberhard Zorn believes that Putin is capable of opening a second front in Kaliningrad, the Baltic Sea, and the Finnish border. The most senior German military commander thinks that “even though 60 percent of the Russian army forces are tied up in Ukraine, they still have uncommitted capacity… If Putin ordered a general mobilization, he would not have personnel problems either”.

In his tweet, the former commander of US forces in Europe, Ben Hodges, commented that this claim showed a “stunningly poor analysis of Russian capabilities that unfortunately reflects much of the German ‘elite’ thinking”. “Finland alone would crush Russian forces” while “Lithuania/Poland would smother Kaliningrad in a week,” twitted General Ben Hodges. “The Social Democrats don’t want to (deliver more weapons), and now they are pulling out every excuse,” pointed out Gustav Gressel, a security expert at the European Council on Foreign Relations.

“Getting a visa to a country is not a subjective right for anyone, but the visa issuer always has discretion,” said the President of Finland. Sauli Niinisto wants to complicate issuing visas to Russian nationals, reversing the procedure favoring those who own real estate in the Nordic country.

The US imposed sanctions on more than 40 Russian persons and 30 entities related to the head of the Chechen Republic. As part of a new sanctions package, the United States is introducing a ban on the export, re-export and sale of quantum computing services to Russia from October 15, the US Department of the Treasury informed.

The EU Council has prolonged the restrictive measures targeting those responsible for undermining or threatening Ukraine’s territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence for half a year. The measures include travel restrictions for natural persons, the freezing of assets, and a ban on making funds or other economic resources available to 1206 individuals and 108 entities.

The European Investment Bank disbursed the first tranches of the €1.59 billion package of the Ukraine Solidarity Urgent Response, supported by an EU guarantee. The first chunk of €500 million will help the Ukrainian government cover short-term financing needs and ensure urgent repairs of damaged roads, bridges, and railway infrastructure.

Russia, relevant news

The Russian court fined the five members of the municipal council of the “Smolnynskiy” district who had previously called for the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to be charged with treason. They were charged with “discrediting” the Russian army, Meduza reported. The fines amounted to 44,000 – 47,000 rubles (USD 735-785).
