In the early hours of September 10, Russian forces launched a wave of drone attacks targeting the Cherkasy region in central Ukraine. The barrage caused injuries and significant damage to infrastructure, local authorities have reported.
According to Cherkasy governor Ihor Taburets, Ukrainian air defences intercepted 14 drones, though several managed to hit their targets. In the regional capital, Cherkasy, two civilians were injured. Both have since received medical treatment. A number of buildings, including private businesses, sustained damage, and dry grass caught fire as a result of the strikes.
Further damage was reported in Uman, where a drone hit an infrastructure facility. Meanwhile, debris from the downed drones caused a fire in a forested area in the Cherkasy district. It was swiftly contained by emergency services.
The emergency teams were assessing the damage, while law enforcement agencies have begun documenting the attacks as evidence of Russia’s war crime, said the governor.
Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force. Among other measures, the reform provides for the automated lifting of attachments on bank accounts immediately after debts in enforcement proceedings have been fully settled. The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.

In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.
Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.
