🚀 The Special Operations Forces (SOF) report the elimination of muscovy's Black Sea Fleet commander, admiral viktor sokolov

🇲🇩Born on August 4, 1962, in the Moldovan city of Bender.

🎓After completing his education in the late 1980s, he joined the Pacific Fleet. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, he commanded various minesweepers until he rose to Chief of Staff and later commander of the Maritime Flotilla.

⛴In 2012, he transferred to the Northern Fleet, where from 2013 to 2019 he was the Deputy Commander of the fleet. He then led musucovy's Naval Academy.

🚢In August 2022, following the failed leadership of Black Sea Fleet chief igor osipov and his subsequent resignation, sokolov became the commander of muscovy's Black Sea Fleet.

🧐On the day of the sabotage of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Station, June 6 of this year, for unknown merits, he was promoted to the rank of admiral, which in muscovy's terms is equivalent to the army rank of lieutenant general.

😈He met his end on September 23, 2023, as a result of the SOF operation "Crab Trap," during which he and dozens of his officers were physically eliminated in Ukrainian Sevastopol.

Situation on the frontlines as of the end of the day on September 26, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian, Siverskyi and Bilhorod directions — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — the enemy shelled Synkivka and Serebryansk forestry. No significant changes reported.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — intense fighting continues near the railway track east of Klishchiivka.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — no changes. Skirmishes took place near Vodyane and Pervomaiske; details are being clarified.

▶️ On the Berdiansk direction — no changes. The enemy is bolstering its units with convicts-shoiguists. Their influence on combat activities is increasing along with their numbers, although their role is mainly to serve as cannon fodder.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — fighting continues to the west and south of Robotyne. Near Verbove, battles are taking place to the west and southwest of the village. Overall, the situation hasn't changed dramatically, although some advancements have been made; time is needed to secure them. The katsaps have deployed a considerable amount of reserves, including those aimed not just for defense but for offense.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. In Zaporizhzhia, the enemy is counter-attacking to slow down our momentum. The enemy understands that losing heights east of Novoprokopivka will create several problems for further defense; thus, they attempt to immediately attack where they lost positions. This complicates the Defense Forces' task of securing the captured territories.

⚔️ Katsaps suffered a fiasco in the battles for Novoiehorivka

🇺🇦 "With the forces of the 68th Jaeger Brigade, supported by the 43rd, 32nd, and 95th Air Assault Brigades and the 3rd Border Commandant's Office of the 15th Border Guard Detachment, numerous enemy attacks on Novoiehorivka and nearby heights were repelled from mid-August to mid-September. The enemy advanced not only with convicts-shoiguists but also employed many tanks and other types of armored vehicles. Despite the complexity of the battles, joint efforts successfully halted and in some places repelled the katsaps. At this moment, they have lost their offensive potential in this area," shared with us the commander of the 68th Jaeger Brigade "Shum".

🇭🇺🇪🇺"Until an EU member state receives the money it is entitled to, no non-EU country will receive a penny," - the head of the Hungarian Prime Minister's Office, Gergely Gulyás

🤦‍♂️The politician said this during a press conference. Gulyás added that Ukraine will be able to receive financial assistance from the EU only if changes are made to the budget, which requires Hungary's vote.

🇺🇦 In particular, Gergely mentioned Ukrainian grain, noting that the government has also reconsidered the ban on imports of Ukrainian grain and sees that it was the right decision and that this measure is working. They do not want "bad Ukrainian grain" to flood the Hungarian market.

🤡 Gulyás emphasized that the Hungarian government will not support Ukraine at any international forums until the use of the Hungarian minority language in Ukraine is restored, especially in education.

🇸🇪The issue of Sweden's accession to NATO was not ignored either:

💭«Sweden's position shows that they do not want to join NATO <...> In Swedish-Hungarian cooperation, basic respect and a minimum of trust are necessary, but the Swedes have done everything to destroy it.»

🍒And the icing on the cake was when the Hungarian ambassador handed Lukashenko his credentials. From that moment on, the diplomatic mission of the head of this mission in belarus officially began.
