 #Poland permits NATO deployment on its soil following russian drone incursion
This comes as a part of the alliance’s new “Eastern Sentinel” initiative with contributions from Denmark, France, Britain, Germany and other allies.

Polish President Karol Nawrocki signed a classified resolution this week allowing NATO forces to operate on Polish soil, according to Poland’s National Security Bureau.

 NATO troops will now reinforce Polish defenses under the program, though the presidential resolution remains classified, the Poland’s National Security Bureau reports.

Secretary General Mark @SecGenNATO said military operations would begin “in the coming days” with forces from Denmark, France, Britain, Germany and other allies. Ground troops will deploy across eight countries, with room to expand if needed.

 The catalyst?

russia’s massive assault on Ukraine on 10 September that violated Polish airspace.


Moscow launched over 400 drones and more than 40 cruise and ballistic missiles that night, killing one person and injuring several others in Ukraine.euromaidanpress.com/2025/09/10/nat…

 However, 19 russian drones also crossed into Polish territory—not the usual strays from Ukraine, but aircraft flying directly from Belarus.

Poland scrambled advanced fighters, including F-35s and F-16s, marking the first time Polish forces used airborne weapons against the unmanned vehicles. Even with sophisticated aircraft deployed, Polish forces couldn’t intercept all targets.

The incursions triggered NATO’s Article 4, requiring member states to consult when any ally faces threats to territorial integrity or security. However, NATO decided not to treat this deliberate drone incursion as an attack.

 The Eastern Sentinel rollout suggests the alliance views recent escalations as more than isolated incidents requiring a measured but substantial response along NATO’s eastern frontier.

Trump’s limited response to russian drones entering Polish airspace this week has worried European allies who doubt whether he’s serious about NATO defense duties, @Reuters reported.

Frontline report:

Today the biggest news comes from the #Pokrovsk direction.

#Ukrainian forces spring trap on russian breakthrough near #Pokrovsk

 Here, Ukrainian forces are closing the gap around the remaining russian forces in their Dobropillia salient.

As Ukrainians finish off pockets of russian resistance, the russians’ only hope is to surrender to the advancing Ukrainian army or be annihilated completely.

After conducting a successful penetration from the high ground in the west, Ukrainians are now launching their attacks from the north as well, well, completing the pincer around the russian #Dobropillia salient.

 Superior supply lines give Ukraine tactical edge

The main advantage of the Ukrainians here is their far superior ground lines of communication, enjoying a direct supply line from #Kramatorsk and #Ruzhivka, functioning as central operating hubs for Ukrainian forces in northern #Donetsk.

Additionally, if we take a look at the topographic map, we can see that as the Ukrainian supply lines approach the front, they cross through several settlements in the valley between two hills.Image

 The European Union has agreed to apply a "unique" approach that will allow Ukraine and Moldova to move forward on their path to bloc membership while Hungary continues to veto their accession, Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Taras Kachka said on Sept. 13.

Hungary, broadly seen as the most Kremlin-friendly nation in the EU and NATO, declared on Aug. 30 that it will not agree to open the first round of negotiations

on Ukraine's accession to the EU.

There is an agreement in place with the EU to maintain Kyiv's progress despite Budapest's veto, Kachka told reporters on the sidelines of the annual Yalta European Strategy meeting, where a Kyiv Independent journalist was present.

"The traditional EU policy is that you have to persuade such a member state, and until you persuade it, you are blocked. You can be blocked for two weeks, or you can be blocked for 10 years," he said.

⚡️#Romania scrambles jets, Poland closes airport over russian drone alerts.

"russian military personnel know exactly where their drones are headed and how long they can stay in the air," President Volodymyr Zelensky said, commenting on the attacks.

"The routes are always calculated. This cannot be an accident, a mistake, or the initiative of some lower-level commanders."

 Occupiers managed to enter the northern outskirts of Kupiansk thanks to an underground gas pipeline: Fedorenko spoke about the situation

Separate groups of russian invaders reached the northern outskirts of #Kupiansk in the #
Kharkiv region thanks to an underground gas pipeline. The defense forces struck it to flood and make it unusable 💥

This was stated by the commander of the 429th Separate Drone Systems Regiment "Achilles" Yuriy Fedorenko.

He explained that the pipeline runs along the northern outskirts of the city of Kupiansk.

There is a forested area there, which allowed the russians to carry out a covert transfer of forces.

 What is known about the enemy's advance?

Fedorenko reported that the entrance to the gas pipe, which the occupiers used, is located in the area of ​​the occupied #LimanPershy .

For some time, storming the Oskil River from the left to the right bank, the invaders worked on laying routes through the gas transportation infrastructure.

"Indeed, the enemy began to use the gas pipe to pull in resources."

This is confirmed primarily by russian sources of information, various public forums where they publish videos from the pipes, and we began to record their exits from the gas pipe .

And as a result, we took them under fire control," said Fedorenko.Image

 russian military personnel dug in in places where "observation is complicated due to greenery."

Fedorenko reported that the #Ukrainian defenders struck the pipe and closed the valves.

At the time of recording the comment, the Achilles soldiers no longer observed active enemy movement through the gas transportation system.

"Only time will tell how long it will take the russians to restore it, and whether it is possible to restore it in engineering terms," ​​the commander noted.

"Claimed to be a video of russian military personnel moving along a gas pipeline towards Kupyansk (be careful, there is foul language):

 russia spent 3 years and billions building an "impenetrable" air defense network around Crimea. Ukrainian drones just casually skimmed the waves around Crimea to hit a russian ship near its home port, 400 km away.

The fortress has become a hunting ground.

So what changed?

Three years ago, Crimea was wrapped in one of the world's densest air defense networks—dozens of radars, missile batteries, sophisticated systems.

Ukraine's TB-2 drones, which dominated early in the war, became sitting ducks over Crimean airspace.

russia had built an impenetrable bubble.

But Ukraine went to work. Strike by strike, they picked apart those defenses.

Now those same "vulnerable" TB-2s cruise freely over Crimea, and Ukrainian drones reach 400 kilometers into russia to hit ships in what Moscow thought were completely safe waters.

When your billion-dollar defensive network can't stop relatively cheap drones, you've lost more than equipment. You can't protect anything anymore.

 Ukrainian forces struck and damaged another ship supporting russia’s war effort on the Black Sea on Thursday night.

Another ship strike isn’t remarkable. In the 43 months since russia widened its war on Ukraine, the Ukrainians have sunk or damaged roughly a third of the russian Black Sea Fleet’s three dozen warships.

Most notably, the cruiser Moskva, holed by two Ukrainian Neptune anti-ship missiles way back in April 2022.

What’s notable about the Thursday

strike on the Project MPSV07 rescue and salvage ship was how and where Ukrainian operators hit it.

The 73-m salvage ship, operated by russia’s auxiliary rescue agency, was patrolling just outside the port of #Novorossiysk, in southern russia, 400 km from the front line.Image

 Rather than send a squadron of comparatively slow drone boats or expend a precious cruise missile that might cost $1 million or more, the Ukrainian military intelligence service, the HUR, flew a fixed-wing attack drone at very low altitude all the way to Novorossiysk, and struck the Project MPSV07’s bridge area, where many of the most delicate electronics are.

The hit on the Project MPSV07 had the effect of “destroying its electronic warfare systems and forcing it out of action,” the Ukrainian strategic communications service announced

 ⚡️Update: Key russian oil hub suspends operations after Ukrainian drone strike, SBU source says.

Primorsk in Leningrad Oblast serves as a key hub for Russia's "shadow fleet,” processing shipments of 60 million tons of oil every year, an SBU source told the Kyiv Independent.

After a Ukrainian drone strike, fires broke out at one of the vessels and a pumping station, forcing the suspension of oil shipments, according to the source.

 Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) drones struck Primorsk, russia’s largest oil-loading port on the Baltic Sea, overnight on Sept. 12, a source in the agency told the Kyiv Independent.

Primorsk in #leningrad Oblast serves as a key hub for russia's "shadow fleet" of aging tankers used to avoid sanctions, the source said.

Roughly 60 million tons of oil pass through the port every year, bringing russia roughly $15 billion, the source added.

After the Ukrainian drone strike, fires broke out at one of the vessels and a pumping station, forcing the suspension of oil shipments, according to the source. This could allegedly cost russia up to $41 million a day
3/
 SBU drones also successfully struck three oil pumping stations that are part of a pipeline system funneling crude to the Ust-Luga port terminal in Leningrad Oblast, the source claimed.

Primorsk lies roughly 100 kilometers (60 miles) from St. Petersburg and over 900 kilometers (550 miles) north of the #Ukrainian border.

The statement comes after tussian officials and media reported a large-scale drone attack targeting Leningrad Oblast, Moscow, and other areas overnight on Sept. 12
