Kharkiv is still "very safe". There are Russian gains of "up to 1.5 km2 of terrain" but "the front holds"

CNN Portugal9 September 2026 at 15:56

Colonel Carlos Mendes Dias, commentator for CNN Portugal, analyzed the situation in the Kharkiv region, in Ukraine, considering that the city is still "very safe". The commentator tried to clarify the concept of hybrid warfare while assessing the evolution of the confrontations on the ground.

According to Carlos Mendes Dias, there have been Russian gains of "up to 1.5 square kilometers of terrain", which represents territorial advances by Russian forces in the region. However, the commentator noted that, despite these limited advances, the military front line remains stable.

The colonel's analysis comes in the context of the hybrid warfare that has characterized the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, where military operations are combined with other forms of pressure and information manipulation.

"The fairground traders are part of the essence of the Feiras Novas"

The article addresses the tradition of fairground traders at the Feiras Novas in Ponte de Lima, Portugal, gathering testimonies from vendors who have participated in this pilgrimage for decades. Conceição Rego, with about 50 years of presence, recalls how the fair was different in the old days, selling on the sand sitting on the ground. Her husband Francisco Rego, 70 years old, sells concertinas and drums for more than three decades, emphasizing that "a pilgrimage without toys is not the same thing." Marlene Fernandes, from Barcelos, notes that sales run better during the festivities than at normal fairs, although the work is intense, sleeping in the van during the four days. Manuel Peixoto, also from Barcelos, states that "the fairground traders are part of the essence of the Feiras Novas," recognizing that the way of buying has changed, but the tradition remains. Despite changes in location and the increase in the number of visitors, the vendors ensure that the identity of the fair remains.
