Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has called on the Russian army to use “low-yield nuclear weapons” in Ukraine.

Before that, the Russian army withdrew from the strategically important city.

This will "lead to nothing good," he explained.

Attack on civilians in Ukraine war: 20 dead after renewed shelling of car convoy

Update from October 1, 4:00 p.m .:

The Ukrainian authorities have accused Russia of again firing at a car convoy with civilians.

Twenty people were killed in an attack near the city of Kupyansk.

The civilians tried to escape from Russian attacks, Ukrainian regional governor Oleh Sinegubov said on Saturday on the Telegram news channel.

"This is a cruelty that has no justification." The details of the dead are provisional.

Investigators and experts went to the location in the Kharkiv region to investigate the case, Sinegubov said.

The information cannot be independently verified.

According to Ukrainian sources, 30 people were killed in a rocket attack on a civilian car convoy in the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhia on Friday.

According to the latest police reports on Saturday, more than 100 people were injured.

Ukraine surrounds soldiers near Lyman: Russian recruits are prevented from retreating

A video showing Ukrainian soldiers on the outskirts of Lyman circulated on Twitter.

They wave the Ukrainian flag – without any visible resistance.

The Donzker separatist leader, Denis Puschilin, had already admitted on Friday that Lyman was almost completely surrounded.

Western military experts assume that the city will be completely liberated in the next few days.

The

Institute for the Study of War

 spoke on Friday of an expected intake within 72 hours.

The occupiers from Russia had asked their superiors to get out of the area if possible, reports the Ukrainian head of administration, Hajdaj.

They received a rebuff.

"They now have three courses of action: either they can try to break out or they surrender.

Or they all die together.

There are about 5,000 of them, there is no exact number,” says the Hajdaj.

The

New York Times

reported a week ago that President Vladimir Putin is increasingly interfering in decisions at the front and preventing soldiers from retreating.

Ukraine War: Lyman could be starting point for further conquests

Lyman is considered a strategically important city in the Ukraine war.

For months it served as a logistics and transport hub for Russian soldiers, according to

ntv

.

In addition, the conquest of Lyman, located in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk, opens the way to Svatove and Kreminna and thus deep into the adjacent Luhansk region.

Luhansk and Donetsk have largely been under Russian control since the summer.

Vladimir Putin officially annexed the regions on Friday (September 30).

The West reacted to the "brutal expansionism" with sanctions.

Vladimir Putin declared the annexation of four Ukrainian regions.

Since the beginning of September, Ukraine has been reporting land gains in southern and eastern Ukraine.

Russian military bloggers now fear a similar outcome in Lyman as in Balaklija.

With the recapture of Balakliya, Ukrainian troops launched a major offensive in the Kharkiv region, as a result of which Kyiv regained control of almost the entire region and forced the Russian troops into a hasty retreat.

Meanwhile, Russia has apparently kidnapped the head of the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhia.
