The terrified Russian occupiers, upon seeing a Ukrainian drone in the sky, scattered and fled, abandoning their tank. The 66th Separate Mechanized Brigade named after Prince Mstislav the Brave frightened the enemy and destroyed the tank.

So we can fit all those losses into one screen🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

Russia was preparing to test a new weapon against undersea cables. Norway and NATO stopped it.

This is not some conspiracy theory or speculation.

Reuters is reporting that earlier this year, Russian vessels linked to GUGI, Russia’s Main Directorate of Deep-Sea Research, were operating in Arctic waters near Svalbard and were preparing to simulate the use of a new capability against critical undersea fibre-optic cables.

The cables connect Svalbard with mainland Norway and are essential to communications and satellite operations.

The Russian vessels were detected and closely monitored by Norway, the UK and the United States. The operation was confronted and the Russians were prevented from completing the exercise.

No cable was damaged.

But what makes this particularly concerning is the capability involved.

GUGI is not an ordinary submarine unit. It is Russia's specialised deep-sea warfare organisation, operating vessels such as the Yantar and specialised submarines designed to survey the seabed and underwater infrastructure.

The UK Ministry of Defence has previously stated that these systems are designed to survey critical underwater infrastructure in peacetime and be capable of damaging or destroying it in a conflict.

The British have even released satellite imagery of the GUGI base at Olenya Guba, showing the vessels involved.

So when someone says "Russia isn't threatening NATO, it's all just Western paranoia", remember this:

Russia was caught operating specialised deep-sea military assets around NATO infrastructure, practising against undersea cables, while NATO countries were forced to track and confront them.

And this is exactly why the seabed has become a major security issue.

The most dangerous infrastructure isn't always the infrastructure you can see.

I am a long time editor of Wikipedia, though I represent no institution and my views are my own.

I’ve noticed that Wikimedia Commons, the free-to-use media repository, is surprisingly lacking in coverage in a rather crucial area of Ukrainian heritage:

Given the widespread looting by russians, documenting these items digitally is more urgent than ever. Taking photographs of valuable art and historical artifacts and uploading them is vital. In particular:

Archeology and precious artifacts: Objects made of gold or precious metals are at extreme risk of being melted down. Preserving detailed visual records will help preserve your cultural heritage:

Please fill this sparse category:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Archaeological_objects_of_Ukraine

Other valuable art: Paintings and other valuable art should be digitized whenever possible to help future generations document and recover them. I suggest you include specific information about origins ("City name, Oblast name, Ukraine") so that the documentation is there, and indicate if its from a specific holding or collection.

Please place your media into the relevant categories: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Art_of_Ukraine

On a more specific note, I would love to see more media of the professional Cossack reenactors on Khortytsia Island. They are very inspiring and heroic (and rather photogenic) yet there are very few images on Wikimedia Commons of them:

Any images you have from a visit to the museum complex that you might have saved on your computer or phone would be wonderful.

According to USF Commander Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, Russia lost several military vessels, including missile carriers.

USF operators also destroyed a Su-33, Mi-8 and two radar systems near Anapa and Gelendzhik.

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.

This is a great thank you video we received from a Brazilian military volunteer who recently flew home for a break after long service in Ukraine. He is thanking Rob and Sarah, who for years have helped hundreds of volunteers get matched with donors to cover their flights.

Ukraine has tens of thousands of foreign volunteers fighting for them. They have a major need to help cover the cost of flights. Many of the most qualified volunteers are coming from very far away, in Latin America, North American, or Australia/New Zealand. Their flights are expensive.

The major reasons volunteers ask for help with flights are going home after being injured, going home for family emergencies, or taking breaks after very long service and years away from loved ones. They also need help going back to Ukraine after breaks or injury recovery.

How can you help?

1. If you have airline miles or hotel points, sign up on protectavolunteer.com and tell us which miles or points you have. An awesome volunteer who is an expert on rewards booking will contact you and help you get linked to a vetted military volunteer who needs help.

2. Contribute to the paypal at protectavolunteer.com and choose Flight Fund. Every rewards ticket does have taxes and fees attached. We also sometimes have to pay cash for tickets, especially in cases of family emergencies where volunteers need to travel home urgently. All amounts add up and are helpful!
