"Ukraine's Air Force reported several drones moving toward the southern Kherson and Mykolayiv regions, as well as Zaporizhzhia. Russian forces also launched guided aerial bombs against the Sumy region in the northeast, though there were no reports of large-scale missile barrages that have become almost daily in recent weeks. It said Russia launched one Iskander-M ballistic missile and 164 drones, including Shahed and Geran models. Air defenses reportedly downed or disabled 137 of them, though 27 drones and one missile hit targets in nine locations across the country."
"President Volodymyr Zelenskyy used an appearance at the Yalta European Strategy conference in Kyiv on the evening of September 12 to joke that visiting US envoy Keith Kellogg acted "like a Patriot system" since large-scale attacks on the capital appeared to pause whenever he was in the city. Zelenskyy quipped that Kellogg should be offered Ukrainian citizenship if he could persuade Russia to halt its strikes."
"On September 12, a Russian drone and missile strike killed three and injured five near Sumy in northern Ukraine, according to the regional governor. Despite ongoing shelling and attempts to capture villages near the border, Zelenskyy said Russian forces in the area have suffered heavy losses and "lost [their] offensive capability." Fighting continues in the border areas, but Ukrainian troops have repelled advances in Sumy, as well as in the frontline regions of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia."
