War in Ukraine Drags On, Russians' Confidence in Military Dips – Poll
Public confidence in the Russian military has declined, although it remains relatively high, according to a Gallup poll. The inability of the Kremlin and the Ministry of Defense to secure a quick victory in Ukraine has eroded trust. The poll indicates a 5% drop in confidence since the start of the full-scale invasion, with declines across all demographic groups. The article also notes increased trust in other institutions like the police and judiciary. The failed Wagner Group rebellion and ongoing challenges in the war are highlighted as factors contributing to the decline in military confidence.

Alawites in Syria dare not go anywhere: 'All the men here have been killed'
The article reports on the dire situation faced by the Alawite minority in Syria amidst ongoing violence. Despite the Syrian Ministry of Defense's claim that military operations have ended, Alawites remain skeptical and fearful for their safety. Many have fled to Lebanon or sought refuge at the Russian military base Hmeimim. The conflict involves former Assad regime soldiers and militias linked to the new ruling power, HTS. Personal accounts from Wisal and Kinana highlight the brutality faced by Alawites, with many men killed and families left in distress. The international community's intervention seems unlikely, leaving the Alawites in a precarious situation.

Russian mercenaries more active in Africa since death of Wagner group leader
Russian mercenaries, particularly those associated with the Wagner Group, have intensified their activities in Africa following the death of their leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, in a plane explosion. Research by the Armed Conflict Locations and Event Data (Acled) indicates a significant increase in violence involving Russian troops in Africa, with notable involvement in Mali supporting military rulers against Tuareg rebels. The Wagner Group has been restructured and rebranded as Africa Corp, with Russia's government now openly acknowledging its role and financing. The group's activities have expanded to several African countries, with expectations of further influence and potential direct engagement in violence.

Dispatch from Ukraine: The day the war started, I watched the people disappear
In Kyiv, Ukraine, civilians like Daria Serdtseva and Stan Petrov face the harsh realities of war following the Russian invasion. Many Ukrainians are fleeing westward, while others, including untrained volunteers, are taking up arms to defend their country. The call for NATO to close the skies over Ukraine is widespread, as the conflict has led to significant civilian casualties and displacement. The Ukrainian economy is at risk, especially if Russia gains control of the Black Sea coast. Despite the dire situation, efforts to maintain morale, such as setting up movie screens in bomb shelters, continue.

Kharkiv, the story from the heart of the war: "Flattened by bombs without food and medicine"
Kharkiv is under renewed Russian attack, with significant bombings forcing evacuations in the region, particularly from Vovchansk. The situation remains dire, with shortages of food and medicine, and ongoing power outages. Despite the intense conflict, Kharkiv attempts to maintain normalcy. Ukrainian officials, including Governor Oleh Synehubov and President Volodymyr Zelensky, assure that the situation is under control, although fighting continues in the 'grey zone' near the border. The Russian Ministry of Defense claims control over several villages, while the Institute for the Study of War suggests the Russian strategy may aim to divert Ukrainian forces and create a demilitarized zone.

Russia has intensified its attacks on the port infrastructure of southern Ukraine, particularly targeting Odesa, in an apparent effort to disrupt Ukraine's agricultural exports and trade. Recent strikes have resulted in casualties among port workers and significant damage to port facilities and civilian ships.

Over the past three months, nearly 60 attacks have been reported, causing widespread damage and injuries. The situation highlights ongoing tensions and the strategic importance of Ukraine's port infrastructure.

Ukrainian Women in War: Feminism, Gender Issues, and Discrimination
From October 1, 2023, Ukrainian women aged 18 to 60 in the medical field must register for potential military service. Feminists are divided on this issue, with some advocating for equal conscription conditions as men. Ukrainian women face severe challenges, including war crimes by Russian soldiers and domestic violence from traumatized returning soldiers. Despite reforms like the ratification of the Istanbul Convention, issues like inadequate military uniforms and lack of gynecological care persist. The war has paradoxically allowed some women to gain independence and escape abusive relationships, while also intensifying traditional gender roles and discrimination.

Russia Experiencing a New ‘Afghan Syndrome’ With Soldiers Returning From Ukraine
Russian soldiers returning from the war in Ukraine are exhibiting a new form of 'Afghan syndrome,' with reports of high crime rates and difficulties reintegrating into civilian life. The phenomenon is reminiscent of the post-traumatic stress disorder experienced by veterans of the Afghan war, but with the added complexity of many current veterans having pre-existing criminal backgrounds. The Russian government's response has been to attempt to reintegrate these soldiers and to offer significant compensation to the families of fallen servicemen, but this has not prevented the spread of violence. The situation raises concerns about the stability and future of Russian society, as well as the moral implications of the Kremlin's approach to the returning veterans.

Polar clean ups: Fighting pollution in the Russian Arctic
The Russian Arctic is facing significant pollution challenges with up to four million tons of waste and 12 million iron barrels littering its coastal zones. Major clean-up operations by the Russian army and government-supported initiatives have been underway, including the removal of over 16,000 tons of scrap metal. WWF Russia's Arctic Biodiversity Conservation project coordinator Varvara Semenova has observed extensive trash, including old barrels and derelict buildings, which pose a threat to local flora and fauna. Microplastics are increasingly found in marine life, affecting the Arctic food chain. Human-wildlife conflicts are also rising, with polar bears entering human settlements. Clean-up efforts have been bolstered by federal significance upgrades for more Arctic regions, and volunteer programs like Green Arctic have contributed significantly, with volunteers from various countries participating in environmental expeditions to restore ecological balance.

The proposal, which has since been removed from the government's website, is seen as a potential move to exert pressure on Russia's western neighbors, all EU and NATO members. Experts suggest the changes could create disputes and a 'gray zone' in the region, affecting both military and commercial activities. Despite the Kremlin's insistence that the proposal is not politically motivated, regional officials view it as an escalation against NATO and the EU.
