On the Dobropillia sector in Donetsk region, First Corps Azov is facing a growing number of russian infantry assaults.

On September 23, the day of the autumn equinox, First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine held Mysteria, a memorial ceremony for its fallen servicemen and servicewomen.

Azov's ground robots are now evacuating each other. No soldiers sent into the kill zone, no risk to human life.

In 2022, a young man from Cornwall left everything behind to help Ukraine. He evacuated hundreds of civilians from the frontline, and paid with his life. Three years later, his family is still helping. One of their trucks just reached an Azov artillery unit, sent in his name.

Azov Corps commander Denys "Redis" Prokopenko broke down the state of the Dobropillia front at the YES Conference: the ratio his men are fighting against, why Russia's summer campaign failed, and the mobilization wave he says is already starting.

He carried a grenade launcher into Azov in 2014. He commanded it at 26, the youngest in Ukraine's history. He led the defense of Mariupol, survived russian captivity, and came back to lead again. Denys "Redis" Prokopenko now leads Grouping of Forces "Azov."

A month ago, Azov stated that the occupier's movements are being tracked and that a strike would follow at the right moment. Some russian army units continued storing fuel in the occupied Donetsk region regardless.

Four years ago, on the night of July 28–29, 2022, Russia killed at least 53 Ukrainian POWs in an explosion at the Olenivka penal colony, most of them Azovstal defenders who had gone into captivity that May. Four years later, still no accountability. We remember them.
