[Regnum] Ukraine is preparing for a new round of peace talks, which it plans to hold in October. This was announced by Kirill Budanov, head of the Kyiv regime's office, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"We're getting ready. For October," Budanov was quoted as saying by RBC-Ukraine.
The head of Zelenskyy's office clarified that Kyiv is considering holding negotiations in a trilateral format in October—Ukraine, Russia, and the United States.
Budanov did not disclose any other details, including the location of the negotiations.
On September 11, Budanov said that Ukraine was ready to cease fire "at any moment," but would not agree to a settlement in the form of an ultimatum.
He also mentioned a possible cessation of hostilities along the actual front line existing at the time the agreement was reached. However, according to Budanov, the agreement must include security guarantees for Ukraine.
On September 5, Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks in the Kremlin with US representatives Steven Witkoff and entrepreneur Jared Kushner. The following day, the American negotiators traveled to Ukraine, where they met with Zelenskyy and other Ukrainian leaders.
On September 8, Putin also discussed the results of Witkoff and Kushner's visits with his American counterpart, Donald Trump. Previously, the president emphasized that peace talks between Russia and Ukraine were suspended at Kyiv's initiative. The Russian leader noted that Moscow is ready to resume dialogue, taking into account the realities on the ground, the Anchorage agreements, and the principles of Istanbul.
Text from the Telegram channel of russkii_dom
[ColonelCassad] Regarding the situation in the Kupyansk direction. Most of Kupyansk is in the gray zone or controlled by our units. The enemy primarily enters the city from the Oskol River, crossing it; the river has become very shallow over the summer.
Any enemy movement in the city is targeted by our drones and artillery. Equipment in the city is not used by either side; it will quickly be burned. Fighting is taking place in Kupyansk-Uzlovy; the front line there is a layered pie. Our units and the Ukrainians can take up positions in the same building. Kovsharovka and Novoosinovo are behind us. Individual small enemy groups may enter there, but there is no talk of any fortification.
Most of Moskovka is in the gray zone. Everything in the Oskol River area is a gray zone; in these areas, there are both our and the enemy's movement routes, which are constantly being mapped by drones and shifting. Enemy groups are trying to infiltrate in the area of Zapadnoye and Dvurechnaya.
Much of the enemy's information about the situation in the area of the aforementioned settlements is greatly exaggerated. Small enemy groups do indeed infiltrate, reporting to headquarters. Then the Ukrainians paint the area blue, the groups mostly perish, and the area becomes a gray zone. The enemy lacks the forces for any major breakthroughs in this area. Most of the enemy units on the Kupyansk Front are mobilized.
Certain sectors are held solely by drones. The rare enemy strongholds are known to us, just as they know ours. On our side, the advance is constant. It's a full-fledged maneuver war. The enemy holds territory, retreats, enters and retreats here and there, etc. If we've consolidated a position, the enemy tries to destroy our position like Baba Yaga, while we use fiber-optic drones.
The enemy is actively burning the steppe and crops, trying to slow our advance with fire. Our aircraft are also busy, launching gliding bombs.

[Regnum] Uralvagonzavod (UVZ, part of the Rostec state corporation) delivered the latest batches of T-90M Proryv and T-72B3M tanks to the Russian military. The concern's press service reported this on September 12.
The delivery is timed to coincide with Tanker's Day. The combat vehicles are equipped with improved all-round protection.
A combat vehicle test driver explained that all tanks undergo testing. Each vehicle must travel at least 100 km before being sent to the troops. Armament is also tested: machine guns, cannon, systems, and navigation equipment.
"A soldier fights comfortably in a modern T-90M. Our designers strive to protect the vehicle as much as possible. We've also added many systems that assist with control and advise on how to handle any emergency," the test pilot added.
Andrey Terlikov, the head of the T-90M project and the company's chief designer, said the T-90M "Proryv" tank received high praise from Russian military personnel in the special operation zone. He recalled that the "Proryv" prototype, the T-90, was developed in the 1990s.
Rostec previously stated that Russian armored vehicles are constantly being updated based on practical experience. Specifically, the T-90M Proryv, T-80BVM, and T-72B3M tanks are being modernized.
The T-90M tank is a major upgrade of the T-90 main battle tank. Development of the T-90M began in the early 2010s. The developers first unveiled the T-90M at the Army-2018 International Military-Technical Forum. The first vehicles were delivered to the Russian Army in the spring of 2020, and serial production began in early 2021. The T-90 is a deeply modernized version of the T-72B tank, considered one of the best in the world in the West.
In early May, the American military magazine Miltary Watch Magazine reported that Russia is ahead of Western countries in the field of tank counter-drone systems. For example, the anti-drone capabilities of the T-90M and T-72B3M tanks have been significantly improved by the integration of the Arena-M active protection system.
#1
The T72B3M's are actually wanted by the units, the T-90's not so much.
Why? It's mostly maintenance and support issues, as spare parts aren't just lying around. You can find parts for T72's.
