🇬🇧“Solidarity Collectives” continue supporting new fighters — meet Dmytro, an activist from Zhytomyr, a self-taught architect, and an anarcho-communist who recently joined the army.
“In general, I wanted to join from the very beginning, but I was really scared. I tried to overcome my fear — and joined on the second attempt.
The first time I just chickened out during recruitment — I said: ‘Sorry, goodbye, not interested.’ But then, at the end of this summer, I started seriously thinking again, because the only thing stopping me was fear. I never had those thoughts like ‘I don’t want to go because…’ followed by some of those silly excuses. And it’s not about politicians’ kids or anything — just fear.
So I had a beer, wrote to my future commander: ‘I’m really scared, but I want to join.’ We talked. I’m a self-taught architect, and my direct commander happens to be an architect too — though we probably won’t talk much about architecture, since it’s an artillery brigade. Still, it’s nice to work with people who speak your language.
I had a few options — building defensive lines, piloting drones — but I decided to go into artillery.
Previously, I only did my mandatory service in a pontoon-bridge brigade as a firefighter, back in 2016–2018. In our platoon we actually put out two fires. Once, the paint shop in our unit burned down; another time, a nearby barrack caught fire — the one where contract soldiers lived, those who get housing from the army. Apart from that, nothing special — marching drills, straightening corners on the blankets. We had these blue blankets with white lines, and we had to align everything along those lines — that kind of army madness.
But even that kind of service helped me as a man who grew up without a father. Of course, it was a real pain in the ass, but it showed me that I can handle more than I think.
Not all instructors here have combat experience, but we got a real combat scout. He teaches us not from books, but tells us what actually matters — what to bring, how much, and why. And the commander, he’s kind of a ‘military type,’ but a really good person, an exemplary officer for greeting newcomers.
It’s a bit hard to maintain a long-distance relationship with my girlfriend, but we agreed on it and she supports me.
In the first year of the war, in summer, one of the Solidarity Collectives’ members hosted me. That’s how I met Finbar (Cafferkey), and I realized — being among leftists is another thing. Earlier, I worked with guys on developing my hometown Zhytomyr, but they weren’t leftists, just urban activists. We did projects, applied for grants, did tons of work — and kept getting rejections.
I guess my leftist views helped me take this responsibility — gave me the understanding of why this fight matters, why society has to resist. Because if I thought only about myself, I probably would’ve fled Ukraine in the first months of the war. Working in Lviv, it was easy — you could just grab a backpack and go; hardly anyone was being stopped. But I didn’t see myself doing that.
Now I’ll have an interesting and meaningful position. I still see myself as a civilian who joined to do a job — because someone has to do it.”

BBC News: Květinářka z Kyjeva se po ruské invazi proměnila v výrobkyni bojových dronů – spolu se svými dobrovolníky vyrábí stovky levných FPV dronů měsíčně. Její příběh ukazuje, jak se z „hraček“ staly klíčové zbraně moderní války — a jak válka v Ukrajině spustila masivní rozvoj drone průmyslu.

@irozhlas.cz: Ruské údery zasáhly západ Ukrajiny. Ve městě Ternopil si vyžádaly nejméně 25 obětí na životech, včetně tří dětí a také desítky zraněných, když střely dopadly na dva obytné bloky. Terčem útoku byly také oblasti západoukrajinských měst Ivano-Frankivsk a Lvov. „Šlo zejména o objekty energetické infrastruktury,“ popisuje z Lvova politolog Jan Šír z katedry ruských a východoevropských studií Fakulty sociálních věd Univerzity Karlovy pro Radiožurnál.

[EN] The reconnaissance Mavics first just hover at high altitude. Thanks to precise optics, they can determine the situation on the ground within a radius of several kilometers. They mark targets suitable for attacks by artillery and other drone operators.
On their way back, however, they drop a few lipistoks — miniature PFM-1 "butterfly" landmines. Most often near a supermarket or in front of a church — somewhere a clueless pensioner or a mother with a stroller will pass in the morning.
They resemble a little butterfly, so a curious child may happily pick one up from the ground as if it were a new toy. They explode upon the slightest touch. They are designed not to kill their victim, but to tear off limbs, damage internal organs, and cause permanent mutilation. A morgue is too cheap. Caring for a severely injured person, on the other hand, burdens other people and the country’s healthcare system.

Even if Russia were to lose the war in Ukraine (and nothing currently points to that), drone reconnaissance missions, threatening the operation of civilian airports, small-scale sabotage, and the sowing of panic within civil society — all of this will remain with us.
Ending the current conflict will not erase it; it will rather become part of the repertoire of hostile intelligence services or non-state and criminal actors. Once again, the war has merely accelerated the development of these technologies. Their use will continue regardless of peace agreements.

[EN] If this plan were to be implemented in any way — and if you follow Russian politics and Russian propaganda — then from that perspective these territorial gains would still be small.
I’ve spent the past few days with Pavel Talankin, who is presenting his film Mr. Nobody Against Putin in the Czech Republic.
Based on his experience with Russian propaganda, which permeates the younger generations, he claims that Russian society is being prepared by the Russian government, the Kremlin, and Putin for long-term aggression that goes far beyond Ukraine — and my earlier research in Russia confirms this.
This means that this plan is doomed to fail, and I would say it is more likely to be rejected by the Russians through real politics and military operations on Ukrainian territory than by the Ukrainians themselves — although for them it is, of course, also unacceptable.

[EN] Do the numbers of bodies exchanged say anything about Ukrainian casualties? ‘Completely made up,’ Šír responds.
As Jan Šír further pointed out, "in practice, greater discrepancies can be expected particularly in the exchange of remains, where the identity of the bodies handed over is verified only afterwards through forensic methods, which takes some time — all the more so in such numbers."
After the handover, the bodies must undergo identification, which is itself a complex and lengthy process — one that Moscow does not make any easier, says Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko. According to him, the Russian side mutilates the bodies or mixes their parts, which complicates the process of matching names to remains.
Identification involves autopsies, the collection and analysis of DNA, and other procedures. "Moscow is deliberately complicating the identification process for us. The bodies are returned in an extremely mutilated state; parts of the same bodies are in different bags. There are cases where the remains of a single person were returned during different stages of repatriation," Klymenko said, according to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL).
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also stated that Russia sent the remains of at least two dozen of its own soldiers. “They threw the corpses of their own citizens at us. That is their attitude toward the war, toward their soldiers. This has already been documented. Some of those bodies even have Russian passports,” Zelensky was quoted as saying by The Guardian.

[EN] The “peace agreement” proposed by the American side is taking on a bizarre context.
According to Reuters, it was actually the Russians who handed it to the Americans at a secret meeting with Trump’s associates in Miami, Florida. This is confirmed by other politicians, who also claim that it is not an American proposal at all, but merely Russian conditions that the Americans were supposed to pass on to their partners in Ukraine as intermediaries. The U.S. Secretary of State, however, insists that it is a document co-authored by both the United States and Ukraine, while immediately adding that it is not an “American plan.” The Ukrainian minister Umerov was allegedly present at the Florida meeting, though he says he did not participate in preparing any document and was only told by the meeting’s participants that some document was being drafted. Some analysts therefore speculate that the Russians deliberately leaked their proposal to the American media as an “American plan” to cause information chaos and panic. In any case, it’s a mess no one can make sense of. And meanwhile, this also happened:
Reuters also reports that nearly 200,000 Ukrainian citizens who entered the United States since 2022 are now at risk of losing their legal status. The reason is enormous delays in processing extension permits — meaning people could literally find themselves without valid documents overnight.
In Switzerland, a meeting took place with national security advisers of leaders from the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Another meeting followed with delegations from the U.S. and Ukraine. According to Reuters, Rubio and Witkoff are present on behalf of the United States.
In Ternopil, rescue operations have concluded — six people were never found under the rubble. All six, including one child, are listed as missing. A total of 33 people died in the Russian strike. Ninety-four were injured, including 18 children.
According to a statement from the 7th Airborne Assault Brigade, Ukrainian forces have cleared the center of Pokrovsk and continue pushing Russian units to the outskirts of the city. Street fighting continues, but positions in the city center remain under Ukraine’s control.
Investigators say that the recent sabotage on the Polish railway system was carried out by Yuri Sizov from Russia’s GRU military intelligence, unit no. 92154 — also known as the 322nd Special Training Center or “Senezh” — along with smuggler Yevgeny Ivanov.
Budanov claims that Russian General Oleg Makarevich, who ordered the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant, was leading an advisory mission in Venezuela, where more than 120 Russian instructors are now training the Venezuelan armed forces.
In Yakutsk, payments of bonuses for signing military contracts have been suspended due to a “lack of budgetary funds,” even though these payments had been raised to 2.7 million rubles only a few months earlier.
Personnel at the Volkel Air Base in the Netherlands deployed ground weapons after spotting several unidentified drones over the base, but the drones disappeared before any response could be carried out.
Trump stated that if Zelensky rejects the current plan, “then he can continue fighting with all of his tiny little strength.”
Ukrainians repeatedly struck the Russian Shatura power plant in the Moscow region overnight.
