This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

He certainly must sleep a lot, since he just keeps posting the same old boring pictures, and posting long lists of information initially posted here weeks or even months ago, often by other people. What a lazy, boring useless troll, can’t even find new and interesting facts and propaganda.
“”I think Orban will stop buying Russian oil if I talk to him. I’ll talk to him.” - Trump.”
President Trump is now putting a full court press against buyers of Russian oil - it’s Achilles heel. He is raising the heat against them all, and calling out the weasels, saying flatly about NATO “they have to stop buying oil from Russia.”
Kyiv Independent (23 Sep):
“U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sept. 23 that he would meet with European officials later in the day to persuade them to stop buying Russian oil and gas.
“Europe has to step it up. They can’t be doing what they’re doing. They’re buying oil and gas from Russia while they’re fighting Russia,” Trump said at the United Nations General Assembly.
He also accused China and India of being “the primary funders” of the war by continuing to purchase Russian oil and called out NATO allies for failing to cut ties with Moscow’s energy sector...
...Washington imposed a 25% tariff on all Indian imports on Aug. 1, followed by another 25% on Aug. 6 over India’s continued Russian oil purchases. (Tariffs on China now average 57%, and wide-ranging trade negotiations are underway, including the purchase of Russian oil)
On Sept. 13, Trump said that would hit Russia with “major” sanctions if all NATO members unite and stop buying Russian oil.
“Inexcusably, even NATO countries (Turkey is the big one, Hungary and Slovakia are also buying) have not cut off much Russian energy and energy products — which, as you know, I found out about two weeks ago, and I wasn’t happy. Think of it: they’re funding the war against themselves. Who the hell ever heard of that one?” Trump said on Sept. 23.
The president said that European nations “have to immediately cease all energy purchases from Russia.
“Otherwise, we’re all wasting a lot of time,” he added.
Trump said he would raise the issue directly with EU representatives in meetings on the sidelines of the General Assembly.
The remarks follow Trump’s repeated calls in recent weeks for Europe to cut energy ties with Moscow.
Speaking at a dinner in Mount Vernon, Virginia, on Sept. 21, he criticized the purchases as undermining peace efforts.
Trump also pressed U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matt Whitaker to increase pressure on allies, adding that “they have to stop buying oil from Russia.”
Trump has argued that ending Russia’s energy revenue stream is a prerequisite for tougher U.S. measures.
His administration has also pushed G7 members to adopt 50-100% tariffs on Chinese and Indian imports. The White House says such tariffs would pressure Moscow to come to the negotiating table”
Kyiv Independent (23 Sep):
“U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to meet Lavrov on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly on Sept. 24, according to Rubio’s schedule for the day...
...Lavrov’s flight to New York from Moscow took nearly 12 hours as the aircraft avoided flying over other countries before arriving in the U.S., Russian state media claimed.
Ukraine’s allies have barred Russian aircraft from using their airspace. Canada and EU member states have banned Russian planes from flying over their own territory in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.”
US President Donald Trump expressed confidence in Ukraine's ability to fully liberate all of its internationally recognized territory that Russia currently occupies, following a bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). Trump stated at a press conference with Zelensky on September 23 that he has “great respect” for Ukraine's resistance to Russia's invasion and that Ukraine is “doing a very good job” of defending its territory against Russia's efforts to quickly seize it.[1] Trump affirmed NATO member states’ right to shoot down Russian fighter jets violating their airspace, in response to a series of recent Russian incursions into Polish and Estonian airspace. Trump subsequently wrote that he assesses that the Ukrainian military, with the help of the European Union (EU) and NATO, is capable of “[winning] all of Ukraine back in its original form,” likely referring to Ukraine's internationally recognized 1991 borders.[2] Trump wrote that Russia's military shortcomings in Ukraine, despite its large-scale financial investments in military industrial production, make Russia look like a “‘paper tiger’,” and that Ukraine should act now, while Russia is facing economic turmoil, including gasoline shortages. Trump concluded that the United States will continue to supply weapons to NATO's Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) initiative, through which European states purchase US-made weapons for Ukraine.
The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) publicly acknowledged Russia's intent to advance further into Kharkiv Oblast should Russian forces seize Kupyansk, supporting ISW’s assessment of Russia's operational intent. The Russian MoD claimed in a social media post on September 23 that Russian forces are continuing their offensive operation aimed at seizing Kupyansk and that Russian forces have partially enveloped Ukrainian forces in the city.[3] ISW has not observed geolocated evidence to support the claim that Russian forces have enveloped Ukrainian forces in Kupyansk as of this report, however. The Russian MoD claimed that Russian forces intend to leverage the seizure of Kupyansk to attack further into eastern Kharkiv Oblast in several directions simultaneously, including toward Chuhuiv (west of Kupyansk) and Izyum (southwest of Kupyansk), and toward Vovchansk (northwest of Kupyansk). The Russian MoD claimed that the Russian Western and Northern groupings of forces intend to unite the Vovchansk and Kupyansk efforts, which would effectively establish a “buffer zone” near the international border in northern Kharkiv Oblast. The Russian MoD claimed that the seizure of Kupyansk will also support Russian efforts to advance toward Slovyansk and Kramatorsk (both south of Kupyansk in Donetsk Oblast) and seize Ukraine's fortress belt in Donetsk Oblast.
ISW assessed in February 2024 that the Russian MoD likely intended for Russian efforts to seize Kupyansk and the east (left) bank of the Oskil River to set operational conditions for Russian forces to advance into northern Donetsk Oblast toward Ukraine's fortress belt and/or eastern Kharkiv Oblast toward Kharkiv City.[4] ISW assessed on July 12, 2025 that Russian forces likely began an offensive operation aimed at connecting Russian operations near Vovchansk with those near Dvorichna (north of Kupyansk), possibly to facilitate ongoing Russian efforts to establish a buffer zone along the international border.[5] The Russian MoD’s statement confirms these prior assessments of the Russian military command's operational intent.
The MoD’s September 23 statement undermines repeated Russian claims that Russia's main military objective and territorial demands in Ukraine are limited to Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson oblasts. Russian officials, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, have long claimed that Russia “only” wants control over Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson oblasts as a prerequisite for ending the war.[6] Ongoing Russian efforts to advance into Kharkiv Oblast — an oblast that the Russian government has not illegally annexed and does not currently lay claim to — are an indicator that Russia retains territorial ambitions beyond the four aforementioned oblasts.
The Russian MoD may be issuing this statement about Russian operational intent to justify ongoing Russian operations to seize Kupyansk to Russian society and frontline forces. The Russian MoD has rarely publicized its operational intent as openly as in the September 23 post, and the MoD likely sought to use the post to generate informational effects. Russian forces have been engaged in re-intensified assaults near Kupyansk since late 2024, and the Russian military command may be explicitly outlining its operational intent for the Kupyansk-Borova-Lyman area in order to justify the significant casualties and time that Russian forces have lost over the last year by framing Kupyansk as an important gateway to the rest of Kharkiv Oblast and the fortress belt.[7] It is notable that the Russian MoD did not provide a timeline or deadline by which Russian forces intended to accomplish these goals. The MoD may be willing to share these goals if the Russian military command assesses with high confidence that Russian forces will be able to accomplish these goals eventually, assuming that Russia continues its war in Ukraine indefinitely under Putin's theory of gradual and attritional Russian victory. Russian efforts to advance toward and seize Kharkiv City and Ukraine's fortress belt in Donetsk Oblast likely remain years-long endeavors, assuming that the West continues to arm Ukraine and empower Ukraine to defend itself.

The report, prepared by Miami Herald, cites Ukrainian intelligence officials who presented their findings during a briefing with Cuban American lawmakers in Washington. Andrii Yusov, spokesperson for Ukraine's Main Directorate of Intelligence, said his agency has confirmed the identities of more than 1,000 Cuban mercenaries already in Russian ranks. He noted that “Cuba is ranked at the very top among the source countries for mercenaries,” adding that intelligence estimates suggest as many as 20,000 Cubans have been recruited. Ukrainian officials also reported that at least 39 Cubans have been killed in the fighting.
According to the report, citizens of Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, and other countries in the region are being drawn into combat on the side of Russian forces. Security services have also confirmed that Moscow and Tehran are attempting to recruit former ISIS fighters—a development that has raised serious alarm among security experts. The recruitment drive is driven by Russia's shortage of manpower. Mercenaries are promised financial rewards and the prospect of Russian citizenship in exchange for service.
One case involved an Iraqi citizen born in 2006 who was detained while attempting to cross illegally. Documents obtained by security services showed that he had signed a contract with Russia's Ministry of Defense to join the armed group “Baghdad.” He had been promised between $3,000 and $8,000 in compensation, along with Russian citizenship after six months of service.
Philosopher Dugin rejoiced at the explosions in Moscow and the Moscow region and recalled how many more years Russia will be at war. And the Central Bank says that the NWO will end soon
Alexandr Dugin asked us to publish some of his thoughts on the situation in Russia and the world. “While different people in America make different loud statements, I will say a couple of important things. First, I am glad that explosions are heard in our capital. I am waiting for more missiles to Moscow, I spoke about this. I am sure that after that, the residents of Moscow and the Moscow region will stand up and go to fight for the future of Russia. They will stop their aimless peaceful existence and become Heroes. Secondly, I want to remind you that Russia will fight for at least another 16 years. And every year, with every dead Russian soldier, we will become stronger. No one should forget about this,” said Alexandr Gelevich. He also expressed disappointment with calls not to buy Russian oil. “Our oil is as important as the blood of a Russian soldier. It is, metaphysically speaking, sacred. How can you refuse to buy a sacred energy source?” - Dugin was indignant.
At the same time, we should note: a source in the Central Bank contacted us and once again stated that he was waiting for the imminent completion of the special military operation. “We have said many times that the special military operation must end, otherwise there will be a terrible crisis. Now this fact has been noticed by Trump and wrote about it.
