Weapons, explosives discovered in Putin’s "humanitarian aid" : UNIAN news
Ukraine's military intelligence revealed a specially equipped cache filled with weapons and explosives near the strategic port city of Mariupol from a warehouse were the contents of Putin’s "humanitarian convoys” are being stored, according to the General Staff.

Four kilograms of TNT, grenades to antitank grenade launchers, ammunition and thermobaric ammo, and a number of various fuses were discovered in the cache, the General Staff reported on Facebook.
"Given the peculiarity of the cache, we can say that it was created recently. Given the set of explosives, we can make the assumption that they might have been aimed for making a mine to blow up a passenger bus," reads the statement.
It is noted that all of these weapons and equipment were packed in white bags of Russia’s "humanitarian" aid, marked with a special adhesive tape "Novorossiya Aid Foundation," which was created and has been active in the Russian Federation.
"So, once again we can see that, instead of food, the white trucks have been bringing weapons and ammunition to Ukraine, with the purpose of killing innocent Ukrainians, destroying our country’s infrastructure and make life in Donbas a horror," said the General Staff.

Driver arrested in Donbas with Russian Major Starkov takes blame on himself– lawyer - read on - uatoday.tv
Starkov was captured at the end of July with a cargo of military equipment in east Ukraine and later charged with terrorism
UNIAN: Changing a measure of restraint for a Russian officer, major Vladimir Starkov, will facilitate the release of Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs), according to Konstantyn Kravchuk, a state lawyer of a Kamaz vehicle driver, who was detained together with Starkov, Ukrainian TSN news service reported.
According to Kravchuk, the case hearing regarding Starkov and the driver Iotko took place in the Dzerzhynsk City Court of Donetsk region on September 17.
Changing a measure of restraint was made possible due to the fact that the driver had taken all the responsibility for the cargo on himself.
"This scheme is used to free the Ukrainian POWs. And this has become possible because Iotko has actually taken all the blame," Kravchuk said.
A scheme of a possible exchange and other circumstances of the case were not disclosed by the lawyer. Ukrainian lawyers have been actively cooperating with the Ukrainian Security Service officers and the military prosecutor's office to facilitate the release of Ukrainian POWs.
As earlier reported, on July 25 Ukraine's border guards detained Vladimir Starkov, Russian officer, a major from a rocket-artillery unit, who was in a military truck full of ammunition near the Russian proxies' stronghold of Donetsk.
In early August, Adviser of SBU Chairman Yuriy Tandit suggested that the Russian major Vladimir Starkov could be exchanged for the Ukrainian prisoners. However, the final decision on this issue will be made by Ukrainian President.

Driver arrested in Donbas with Russian Major Starkov takes blame on himself– lawyer - read on - uatoday.tv
Starkov was captured at the end of July with a cargo of military equipment in east Ukraine and later charged with terrorism
UNIAN: Changing a measure of restraint for a Russian officer, major Vladimir Starkov, will facilitate the release of Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs), according to Konstantyn Kravchuk, a state lawyer of a Kamaz vehicle driver, who was detained together with Starkov, Ukrainian TSN news service reported.
According to Kravchuk, the case hearing regarding Starkov and the driver Iotko took place in the Dzerzhynsk City Court of Donetsk region on September 17.
Changing a measure of restraint was made possible due to the fact that the driver had taken all the responsibility for the cargo on himself.
"This scheme is used to free the Ukrainian POWs. And this has become possible because Iotko has actually taken all the blame," Kravchuk said.
A scheme of a possible exchange and other circumstances of the case were not disclosed by the lawyer. Ukrainian lawyers have been actively cooperating with the Ukrainian Security Service officers and the military prosecutor's office to facilitate the release of Ukrainian POWs.
As earlier reported, on July 25 Ukraine's border guards detained Vladimir Starkov, Russian officer, a major from a rocket-artillery unit, who was in a military truck full of ammunition near the Russian proxies' stronghold of Donetsk.
In early August, Adviser of SBU Chairman Yuriy Tandit suggested that the Russian major Vladimir Starkov could be exchanged for the Ukrainian prisoners. However, the final decision on this issue will be made by Ukrainian President.

UNIAN: Leader of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic Oleksandr Zakharchenko has called on militants to get prepared for new war with Ukraine, according to information agency Regnum.
"I don't rule out new fights. Yes, most probably, we'll have to [fight], and we should be prepared for that moment," Zakharchenko said during a visit to the town of Dokuchayevsk on September 17.
He claims that the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic is no longer territory of Ukraine, calling it "an independent state."
He also pledged to "defeat" the Armed Forces of Ukraine in case of their advance.
As UNIAN reported, Zakharchenko had earlier claimed that any scenario of the settlement of the Donbas conflict, except for the Minsk agreements, will mean destruction and an economic breakup, according to a special statement by Zakharchenko, which was published by a militant media outlet.
At the same time, he once again accused Kyiv of the alleged failure to observe the Minsk agreements.
