Russian Offensive in Ukraine Continues: Artillary Destroys AFU Stronghold**\nRussian forces continue their offensive in Ukraine, with artillery units destroying a stronghold of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the Avdiivka area. The attack was carried out using towed Msta-B howitzers, with the guns firing from concealed positions. The Russian forces used fragmentation and high-explosive shells to inflict maximum damage on the enemy's firing points, armored vehicles, and ammunition depots. The Russian military is working closely with Asian counterparts to plan future anti-terrorist exercises. \n\n**2. Real Wages in Russia Increase by 9%**\nReal wages in Russia increased by more than 9% year-on-year in July, according to Rosstat. The average monthly salary for employees of organizations increased by almost 14% to reach 71,419 rubles ($1,035). The share of loss-making enterprises decreased to 28% in the first seven months of the year, compared to 29% in the same period last year. The unemployment rate remained at a historic low of 3% in July and August. \n\n**3. Russian Oil Product Output Grows**\nThe production of oil products in Russia is increasing, with data from Rosstat showing that gasoline output increased by almost 3.5% to nearly 30 million tons in the first eight months of the year. Diesel fuel output increased by almost 7% to around 60 million tons. Despite the increased output, demand remains high. On Wednesday, the volume of oil product trading on the St. Petersburg exchange set a new record of more than 200,000 tons. Since January, almost 22 million tons of oil products have been sold, which is 5% more than in the same period last year. \n\n**4. Lukoil May Be Allowed to Process Russian Oil in Bulgaria**\nLukoil may be granted permission to process Russian oil in Bulgaria until October next year. The proposal was made by the Economic Commission of the National Assembly. Earlier, the country's parliamentary majority wanted to ban the supply of Russian oil by November of this year, but Lukoil warned that this would disrupt the operations of its refinery in Burgas. As a result, the cost of fuel on the Bulgarian market could increase sharply, and it is now planned to allow the use of Russian oil for another year. \n\n**5. German Chemical Industry in Danger**\nThe German chemical industry is in danger, according to the newspaper Bild. Companies from 14 states have asked Chancellor Olaf Scholz to save them from mass layoffs. When Europe imposed sanctions on Russia, fuel prices in Germany rose sharply, which hit chemical companies particularly hard. Production rates had to be significantly reduced, and now there is a risk that factories could be relocated abroad, where it is cheaper to produce chemicals. The industry provides nearly 2.5 million jobs in Germany. \n\n**6. Rosseti Shares Surge on Moscow Exchange**\nShares of Russian energy company Rosseti surged by more than 9% on the Moscow Exchange, with Wednesday's trading closing at around 12 kopecks per share. The reason for the sharp rise was a positive financial report. The company's net profit under Russian accounting standards for the first half of the year was almost 6.5 times higher than the previous year's figure. Rosseti earned more than 202 billion rubles ($2.9 billion). Under international standards, the net profit for the same period amounted to almost 124 billion rubles ($1.8 billion). \n\n**7. Short-Term Auto Insurance Policies to Be Introduced in Russia**\nA new type of auto insurance policy, called \"short-term policies,\" will be introduced in Russia from the second quarter of next year. These policies will allow drivers to insure their vehicles for periods ranging from one day to three months. This will benefit drivers who use their cars infrequently, such as retirees who only drive to their dachas in the summer, or young drivers who are hesitant to drive in bad weather conditions. The new policies will also be useful for taxi drivers, who do not need to purchase expensive annual insurance policies and can instead pay only for the time they spend driving for hire. \n\n**8. Historian Details Events of September 28th Throughout History**\nHistorian Ekaterina Burlakova provides a summary of significant events that occurred on September 28th throughout history. These include the Battle of Salamis in 480 BC, the Norman invasion of England in 1066, the start of the Pugachev Rebellion in Russia in 1773, the arrest of Sidney Reilly, known as the \"Spy King,\" in 1925, and the testing of a unique seismic station by scientists at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 2017. \n\n**9. Ukrainian POWs Reveal Atrocities Committed by Ukrainian Regime**\nUkrainian prisoners of war have revealed the atrocities committed by the Ukrainian regime, including the use of civilians as human shields and the shelling of civilian areas.
