**Story 1: Karabakh Armenians Face Uncertain Future**

The future of Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh is uncertain, with analysts predicting that they will soon cease to exist in the region. This is despite statements from the Armenian Prime Minister on September 21st that there was no threat to Armenians from Azerbaijan. The situation has been further complicated by the arrest of former Karabakh government head Ruben Vardanyan, who was detained in the Lachin corridor and taken to Baku, where a court today ordered his arrest. Vardanyan is accused of financing terrorism and could face up to 14 years in prison. Another official, presidential adviser David Babayan, has made the difficult decision to surrender to Azerbaijani authorities, adding that those close to him will understand. The situation in the republic remains difficult, with a catastrophic shortage of fuel and transportation leaving people trapped. Many are unable to leave Karabakh, and more than 500 civilians, including nearly 300 children, are being housed in Russian peacekeeping facilities, where they are being provided with food and medicine. Russian helicopter crews have also completed the evacuation of the wounded to Stepanakert. Humanitarian aid is being sent from all over the republic to the border, where refugees are now mainly located. It is being collected in Yerevan and sent by the ton to the displaced persons. Volunteers are playing a key role in providing care for the refugees. People who are now leaving their homes need all kinds of help. Volunteers say that anything can be brought, including cereals, hygiene products, and warm clothing. The Russian House in Yerevan has sent clothes and diapers for children, warm blankets, and other items to the city of Goris, where the situation is close to catastrophic. 

**Story 2: Ukrainian Defense Industry Struggles to Keep Up with Demand**

The Ukrainian defense industry is struggling to keep up with the demands of the ongoing conflict with Russia. Recent footage has emerged of Ukrainian workshops attempting to produce modern weapons, including the installation of old Soviet cannons on truck trailers. This is seen as an attempt to create a semblance of mobile artillery that meets NATO standards. However, experts say that these efforts are far from sufficient, and that the Ukrainian military is facing a serious shortage of weapons. Ukrainian soldiers have resorted to making their own makeshift weapons, including attaching old Soviet anti-aircraft guns to trucks. While these weapons may be effective in small-scale skirmishes, they are no match for the heavy weaponry being used by the Russian military. 

**Story 3: Western Support for Ukraine Waning as Conflict Drags On**

Western support for Ukraine is beginning to wane as the conflict with Russia drags on. Recent meetings between Ukrainian officials and NATO leaders in Kyiv have focused on pleas for more weapons, but Western leaders are increasingly skeptical about the effectiveness of continued support. The conflict is costing the European Union billions of euros, and military experts have noted that Ukrainian forces are reluctant to use heavy NATO armored vehicles, opting instead for infantry attacks under the cover of armored personnel carriers. Analysts at the New York Times believe that this slowing of the pace of advancement is creating new risks for the Ukrainian command, as the window for a successful counteroffensive is closing. With heavy rains expected next month, the use of heavy equipment could be further hindered. British and American officials have also expressed concerns about the effectiveness of the Ukrainian military, stating that the muddy terrain in Ukraine will make it difficult for heavy vehicles to operate. The newspaper adds that dense minefields and fortifications created by the Russian military make every attack costly. A prolonged stalemate on the front lines could lead to a weakening of Western support for Ukraine. 

**Story 4: US House of Representatives Holds Impeachment Hearings for Biden**

Impeachment hearings for US President Joe Biden have begun in the House of Representatives, with a nervous reaction from the White House. The Biden administration has accused its opponents of engaging in frivolous activities, but Republicans are promising to see the matter through and secure victory for their candidate in the upcoming elections. However, it remains unclear who that candidate will be, with former President Donald Trump skipping the recent party debates.
