The Hungarian Armed Forces will hold in November the largest exercise in the last few years, the necessity of which is caused by the conflict in the territory of neighboring Ukraine

This was announced by the chief of the Hungarian General Staff, General Gábor Böröndi, in an interview with the Magyar Nemzet newspaper.

The exercise will take place simultaneously in eight districts of the country. According to Böröndi, after the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine, "the army, accustomed to peaceful life, had to be shaken up: it was necessary to adjust its training and improve its combat readiness to ensure a well-equipped and responsive defense force."

At the same time, he emphasized that with regard to the Ukrainian conflict, "Hungary is on the side of peace."

Polish Government Raises Possibility of Reducing Support for Ukraine over Grain Crisis​

Szymon Szynkowski vel Sęk, Polish Minister for EU Affairs, has suggested that Poland's support for Ukraine may be reduced amid the crisis over Ukrainian agricultural imports. Answering a question about the conflict over the grain embargo, the minister said in an interview with PAP that the Polish government is "relentless" in this matter, taking into account the interests of farmers.
He stressed that the absence of public support for assistance to Ukraine at the same level as before would mean that it would have to be reduced.
"We would like to further support Ukraine, but we must have the support of the Polish people in this matter for that to be possible. Therefore, unless there is support from the Polish people, it will be challenging for us to continue to support Ukraine as we have done so far," the minister said.

Ukraine oil refinery fire sparked by drone attack, Russia downs four UAVs​

Ukraine and Russia launched waves of drone attacks overnight with reports of a fire at an oil refinery in Ukraine’s Poltava region and four Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) being shot down over two regions in Russia’s west, officials say.
A Russian drone hit the Kremenchuk oil refinery in the central Poltava region of Ukraine, causing a fire, the regional governor, Dmytro Lunin, said on Wednesday.
The Kremenchuk refinery has come under repeated Russian air raids since Moscow launched its invasion last year.
Meanwhile, Russian authorities reported on Wednesday that their air defences intercepted four Ukrainian drones.

Combined AFU Attack on CrimeaA few hours ago, Ukrainian formations launched another missile strike on Crimea. 11 Su-24M bombers took off from Starokostyantyniv airfield, five of which were Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missile carriers.Having flown to the border of the Odessa and Mykolaiv regions, the aircraft split up: nine stayed in the area, and a pair went south to Ochakiv. 8 Storm Shadows were launched around 12:00 at Crimea.

At the same time, reconnaissance groups of Medvedi PMC noted that two Su-24M, flying low about 40 m above the water, conducted launches over the Black Sea. Ahead of this, Ukrainian planes fired three AGM-160 MALD decoy missiles to mislead air defense.Pantsir-S1 air defense crews of the 31st Air Force and Air Defense Division shot down five cruise missiles over Cape Tarkhankut and the Belbek airfield. 3 Storm Shadows fell in the Verkhnesadovoye area - the target was likely a former military facility near the village.A few hours before the attack, a reconnaissance drone of an unknown type took off from Kherson, which, rounding Cape Tarkhankut, set up a patrol area west of Kacha and directed aircraft. It is highly likely that it was shot down by air defense systems.
🔻
This attack demonstrates a slight change in cruise missile tactics. Previously, such mass raids were carried out at night or early in the morning, but not during the day. And the flight of bombers at extremely low altitude is something that Ukrainian crews have been practicing for many months, trying to exploit gaps in air defense detection systems.

 
From Newsweek:
Putin Seeking Quick End to Ukraine War, Turkey's Leader Hints
Russian President Vladimir Putin wants Moscow's grueling war in Ukraine to end "as soon as possible," Turkey's leader said, as the almost 19-month-old conflict shows no signs of finishing.

"It's quite obvious that this war is going to last a long time," Recep Tayyip Erdoğan told PBS News.

Ankara has acted as a negotiator between Moscow and Kyiv since the outbreak of all-out war in Ukraine in February 2022. Turkey was heavily involved in the United Nations-brokered Black Sea grain deal, which had allowed Ukraine to export grain from its southern ports and stave off fears of a global food shortage. Russia refused to renew this deal in July.


Turkey has sent military aid to Ukraine, including unmanned aerial vehicles. But Ankara has also maintained economic ties with Russia and avoided leveling the same amount of sanctions against the Kremlin as other NATO countries over the war.

"Russia happens to be one of my closest neighbors," Erdoğan said, later adding that Moscow is as "equally reliable" as Western countries. "At this moment in time, I trust Russia just as much as I trust the West," he told PBS.

Power Saver Solution
The Russian leader "is actually on the side of ending this war as soon as possible," Erdoğan continued.

Newsweek has reached out to the Kremlin for comment via email.

Analysts have suggested that the Russia expected to finish off its invasion of Ukraine within a week and a half, making sweeping gains in the initial days of the invasion that started on February 24, 2022.

But this failed to materialize in the face of what experts called Ukrainian defiance that took the Kremlin by surprise. Western analyses have also suggested that Moscow made a number of crucial mistakes in the early phases, including how it used its tank crews, sustaining heavy losses of experienced personnel.

Russia currently controls about one-fifth of Ukraine's internationally recognized territory. Kyiv's ongoing counteroffensive, which began in early June, has rolled back some Russian positions in the annexed south and east of the war-torn country, but progress has been slower than Ukraine, and its supporters, had hoped.

In the past week, Ukraine said it had reclaimed two Donetsk villages close to the devastated eastern city of Bakhmut, which Russia captured in May. Ukraine also said in early September it was between the first and second line of Russian defenses around Robotyne, a town in the southern Zaporizhzhia region that had seen heavy fighting.
