In September, Polish border guards recorded a significant increase in the number of Ukrainians aged 18-22 who entered Poland – more than 10 times. Compared to August, the number of those who left Poland also increased – by 3.5 times.

Yurii Kasianov, a State Border Guard Service officer, aerial reconnaissance specialist and founder of the Matrix-UAV unmanned-aviation R&D bureau, said the military unit that had conducted effective combat operations was disbanded.

The majority of Ukrainians are convinced that the level of corruption in the country has increased since the start of the full-scale invasion.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has made new threats, saying that Russia could launch "mirror strikes" against nuclear power plants in Ukraine in response to the alleged shelling of the occupied ZNPP by the Ukrainian side.

At night, Russians attacked Dnipro and the region with kamikaze drones. Houses and a multi-storey building were damaged, and artillery was used to hit Marhanets. There were no casualties everywhere, and air defence systems shot down 13 UAVs.

The enemy advanced near Verbove and Novoivanivka (Zaporizhzhia), as well as near Bila Hora and Shandryholove (Donetsk region).

According to Reuters, the Trump administration's desire to provide Kyiv with long-range Tomahawk missiles may not be realistic, as the existing stocks are intended for the US Navy and other needs.

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi held another working meeting on strengthening capabilities to counter enemy strike UAVs.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that after his meeting with Donald Trump, Ukraine may have "something more" to respond to Russian strikes.
