The predator attacked her when she went into the yard and saw it near a corral containing livestock. The woman died at the scene from her injuries. The bear was shot by the victim's neighbor. The regional Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case for negligence (Part 3, Article 293 of the Russian Criminal Code).

The residents locked themselves in their house and called the police.
Arriving law enforcement officers and a game warden discovered the bear 50 meters from the home. Law enforcement officers used firearms, and the bear was subdued. No one was injured.

[Regnum] On September 26, US President Donald Trump called on Kyiv's Volodymyr Zelenskyy to reach a peace agreement with Russia.
Journalists asked Trump whether the US would grant Ukraine licenses to produce missiles for the Patriot air defense system, but the US president avoided a direct answer.
"I've reached agreements with Zelenskyy on a lot of different issues, and we're in very good agreement on a lot of those issues. But you know what I want him to do? Make a deal. I want him to make a deal with [Russian President Vladimir ] Putin," Trump said.
He expressed hope that a peace agreement could be reached before the start of winter.
American media, citing informed sources, previously reported that Trump, during talks with Zelenskyy, demanded that the Kyiv regime's leader urgently meet with Putin in Moscow for talks, but Zelenskyy refused. This information has not been officially confirmed.
The head of the Kyiv regime repeatedly proposed a personal meeting with the Russian president. The Kremlin stated that such a meeting could only take place in Moscow and only to formalize previously reached agreements.
Putin previously stated that, in order to begin negotiations on a peaceful settlement of the conflict, Ukraine must withdraw its troops from the regions that returned to Russia in 2022. Kyiv must also officially abandon its plans to join NATO and meet a number of other conditions. The head of state has repeatedly emphasized that Russia will liberate its historical territories by military or other means.

[Regnum] The Ukrainian provocation in Bucha will not be forgotten; Russia will continue to communicate the truth to the international community. This was stated by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova on September 26.
She recalled that at a press conference following the UN General Assembly's high-level week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, as he had done at the international forum "Dialogue on Fakes," spoke again about new information regarding the Bucha staging, which was reflected in the report of the International Public Tribunal for Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis. These materials were in high demand, and at the request of journalists, a printed version of the report was distributed.
"Liars and falsifiers can rest assured that we will not simply abandon the Bucha affair and other provocations. We will continue to assist independent experts and investigators in uncovering and communicating the truth to the global public," Zakharova wrote on her Telegram channel.
Russia has repeatedly sent official requests to the UN Secretariat demanding lists of the dead in Bucha. No response has been forthcoming. Zakharova pointed out that the UN Secretariat's lack of response to Moscow's inquiries regarding the events in Bucha proves that the events in that city were a provocation by the Kyiv regime.
On September 24, on the sidelines of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, Lavrov presented the report "Goebbels' Heirs: The Falsification of the Events in Bucha and the Bloody Stagings of the Kyiv Regime" to UN Secretary-General António Guterres. The Russian Foreign Minister demanded that the UN Secretariat conduct a detailed analysis of the staging perpetrated by Kyiv and its sponsors.
Following the withdrawal of Russian troops from the town of Bucha in the Kyiv region in March 2022, Ukrainian and Western media published photos and videos showing the bodies of people in civilian clothing. This was followed by accusations of murder against Russian troops in Bucha. The Russian Ministry of Defense denied the accusations, citing the staged nature of the photos. The ministry called the leaked footage a provocation by the Kyiv regime and Western media.
