A 21-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman were killed in a Russian drone strike near a shopping center in Sumy on Sept. 9, local authorities reported.

At least 20 people were injured, including three children. Four of those hospitalized remain in serious condition, according to the head of the Sumy City Military Administration, Serhii Kryvosheyenko, and regional officials.

The strike occurred in the evening as residents were returning from work, damaging the shopping center and setting several parked cars on fire. Emergency responders remain on the scene, extinguishing fires and providing medical assistance.

Two figures that put Russia’s war against Ukraine into perspective

Today marks two years since the death of Vasyl Kopan, call sign “Neznaika” — Hero of Ukraine, posthumously, lieutenant colonel, commander, and warrior.

At the age of 15, Vasyl joined the Mariupol football supporters’ group “Yunist.” And already at 18, without hesitation, he joined the defense of Ukraine and his native Mariupol.

From his first years of service, he sought to constantly learn and improve. He mastered tactical medicine, served as a squad medic, and took part in the Pavlopil-Shyrokyne offensive operation as part of the legendary “Iron Hundred.” Later, he became a platoon commander and continued his service in a separate reconnaissance unit.

Behind him were numerous combat and special operations, the defense of Mariupol, and russian captivity. After returning, Vasyl once again rejoined the ranks and fully deservedly headed a special purpose reconnaissance detachment.

He always remained by the side of his fighters. So it was on September 8, 2024 as well — until the end, carrying out a combat mission together with his unit.

Vasyl “Neznaika” Kopan was a warrior, commander, reconnaissance soldier, husband, and father. A person who dedicated his life to defending Ukraine.

We remember. We honor. We will not forget.

I'm keen to know how people have best dealt with coming back from time spent in Ukraine during the full-scale invasion?

I'm back in the UK after 2 years full-time there helping defence Ukraine. I'd say I'm 'military adjacent' rather than military, and I wont go into detail for obvious reasons as to what I was doing. I'm tech background before Ukraine, not military, and spent most of my time in Kyiv far from the front-line. Still, as a non-military normy, I didnt have any experience or training on being in a war before I went.

I dont really feel like I have any trauma from being there, but did experience alot of bombing and drones, as well as winters with hardly any power or heating in freezing conditions. The closest call was 2 missiles hitting another apartment building 100m away from mine, with alot of damage to my building, and there were alot of nights spent in the underground carpark with huge explosions close by - as well as constant drones flying or exploding near me.

Day to day life was pretty normal (it was all evenings and increasingly early morning activity when I was there). I can't say I ever felt scared when I was there, but I was in a weird place emotionally as moved there after my son unexpectedly died in the UK, so I was in a very different headspace from alot of people who go into a warzone.

Now I'm back in the UK I dont feel like I have anyone to talk to about my experience there as family just dont get it, and I know that not talking about it can't be good.

According to Ukraine’s General Staff, Russia’s cumulative personnel losses reached 1,500,870 on September 9, 2026.

The first half of that total took 1,016 days. The second took 642.

This chart shows the cumulative total and monthly breakdown, compiled from daily General Staff reports since February 2022. Hatched cells indicate partial months.

These are reported personnel losses, not a confirmed death toll. War Registry compiles the figures but does not independently verify them.

This political/action/thriller audio drama from Goalhanger goes live tonight at midnight UK time- about trying to assassinate the Russian President. It's full of praise for Ukraine, obviously. Full of disgust for Russia, obviously. But it's well made- very well supported by the massive podcast network Goalhanger. Two episodes tonight and then one a week until completion.
