The Russian Defense Ministry has claimed that Russian troops have taken control of the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut.
It said that as a result of offensive actions by Wagner assault units, supported by artillery and aviation of the Southern Group of Forces, the liberation of Artyomovsk has been completed, referring to Bakhmut by its Soviet-era name.
Earlier on Saturday, the head of the Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, had also reported the capture of Bakhmut.
Bakhmut, which is located in Ukraine's Donetsk province, has been the site of fierce fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces for months.
Russia controls around half of the province and claimed to have annexed it in the autumn of 2022.
But Kyiv has disputed the Russian claims and has said that Bakhmut has not fallen into the hands of Russians.
Ukraine marked its 82nd week of conflict with notable military victories, dismantling Russian air defenses in Crimea and securing key towns near Bakhmut in Eastern Ukraine. Simultaneously, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned Russia for weaponizing energy and food at a UN Security Council session on Ukraine. Trudeau urged support for Ukraine while emphasizing the importance of sustainable development goals in addressing the crisis.

The largest sample ever collected from an asteroid in space, and the first for NASA, landed in the Utah desert Sunday after a fiery final descent through Earth's atmosphere, seven years after the mission's launch. In a flyby of Earth, the Osiris-Rex spacecraft released the sample capsule from 100,000 km (63,000 miles) out. The small capsule landed four hours later on a remote expanse of military land, as the mothership set off after another asteroid.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the public gathering at 'Karyakarta Mahakumbh' at Jamboree Maidan in Bhopal, MP. The PM started his speech by saying Bharat Mata Ki Jai. Later in his speech, the Prime Minister launched a scathing attack on the Congress government and said that Congress have outsourced everything to Urban Naxals. Congress has lost all its willpower. The grassroots leaders of Congress have been sitting quietly with their mouths locked. First, Congress was ruined, then they became bankrupt, and now they have given their contract to someone else. The party is no longer being run by its leaders. Now it is outsourcing everything, from slogans to policies, and this contract is with some urban Naxalites.

Accused of alienating a majority of Canadian Indians by courting pro-Khalistan Sikhs for political survival, the Trudeau government in Canada embarrassed itself.. IndiaTimes
Following Canada PM Justin Trudeau's allegations of Indian involvement in Nijjar killing, another Canadian controversy emerges. The speaker of Canada's House of Commons issued an apology for commending an individual during a parliamentary meeting who had served in a Nazi unit during World War Two. Just two days prior, Speaker Anthony Rota had publicly acknowledged 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka as a "Ukrainian hero" within the Canadian Parliament. It was later revealed that Hunka had served in World War II as a member of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS. This revelation came to light following demands for an apology from the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights organisation.

Poland Will No Longer
Provide Weapons to Ukraine , Amid Grain Disputes.
Poland made the announcement
on Sept. 20, CNN reports.
We no longer transfer weapons to Ukraine because we are now arming Poland, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, via statement.
The decision comes amid a dispute between the
two countries over Ukrainian grain imports. .
Earlier this year, several EU nations temporarily banned Ukrainian grain imports to protect local farmers who feared they'd be undercut by the country's low prices.
The ban was suspended last week, but Poland, Hungary and Slovakia enacted their own restrictions against Ukrainian grain imports. .
Ukraine filed lawsuits against
each of the countries as a result.
While addressing the U.N. General Assembly on
Sept. 20, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said, .
"it is alarming to see how some in Europe, some of our friends in Europe, play out solidarity in a political theater – making a thriller from the grain.".
Polish Foreign Minister Pawel Jablonski refuted Zelensky's claims, saying that Poland has been "supporting Ukraine since the first days of the war.".

US Agrees to Send Controversial , Uranium Tank Rounds to Ukraine.
Fox News reports that the United States
has agreed to send depleted uranium
anti-tank rounds to support Ukraine. .
The news coms after the United Kingdom agreed
to send the controversial munitions to aid Kyiv's
counteroffensive against occupying Russian forces.
Fox News reports that the 120 mm rounds are
munitions for the 31 MIAI Abrams tanks the
U.S. has pledged to deliver to Ukraine this fall. .
The armor-piercing rounds were
first developed by the U.S. amid the
Cold War to counter Soviet tanks.
The depleted uranium used in the rounds
is a byproduct of the uranium enrichment
process necessary for creating nuclear weapons. .
According to RAND nuclear expert and policy researcher
Edward Geist, while the rounds retain some radioactive
properties, they cannot generate a nuclear reaction.
Depleted uranium is extremely dense,
which adds to its potency as a projectile. .
It’s so dense and it’s got so much
momentum that it just keeps going
through the armor — and it heats it
up so much that it catches on fire, Edward Geist, RAND nuclear expert and policy researcher, via Fox News .
In March, the U.K.'s announcement
that it would send depleted uranium rounds
was met with a Russian warning that doing so
would open the door to further escalation.
Fox News reports that Russian President
Vladimir Putin has already suggested that the war could
be escalated to the deployment of nuclear weapons.

The Kremlin said yesterday that investigators were still considering the possibility that the plane carrying mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was downed on purpose, the first explicit acknowledgement that he may have been assassinated. When asked about the investigation, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that "It is obvious that different versions are being considered, including the version - you know what we are talking about - let’s say, a deliberate atrocity". Asked if the International Civil Aviation Organisation would investigate the crash, Peskov said that the circumstances made it different, though he cautioned that investigators had made no formal conclusions yet about what exactly took place.
