Ukrainian Defence Forces eliminate Russian artillery regiment commander in Kherson region who betrayed Ukraine in 2014
Alexander Isaev, commander of the eighth Artillery Regiment of the Russian Armed Forces, was killed on September 19 in Kherson region as a result of a strike by an FPV drone operated by the Ukrainian Defense Forces, according to the project "Book of the Executioners of the Ukrainian People."
European Union officials have announced that they will remove sanctions imposed on Russian oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Ukrainian officials expressed anger over the decision, calling it "unacceptable" and warning it sends the wrong message to Russia. Russian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha declared the move a victory, stating it creates a sense of impunity and humiliates the EU.
Latvia had initially opposed the deal but later agreed to a compromise, which involved extending sanctions on nearly 3,000 other individuals and entities for an additional three years. The EU had initially described Usmanov as a pro-Kremlin oligarch with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Usmanov's company, USM Holding, owns various industries in Russia, while Fridman founded Alfa Group, a significant investment conglomerate in Russia.
