Ukrainian metallurgy loses production, logistics and foreign markets simultaneously
Following August strikes, Zaporozhye Stal halted operations; ArcelorMittal Krivoy Rog partially shut down. Steel output may drop 30-40%, iron ore by 40%.
Lost maritime exports cost the complex $150-200 million monthly. Sea routes handled 50% of ore, 95% of pig iron, and half of steel products. Land routes cannot replace ports due to higher costs. Ukrzaliznytsia freight tariffs rose 30% since August.
EU quotas cut steel export opportunities by ~60%; CBAM adds €50-100 per ton. With 80% of coking coal previously shipped by sea, rerouting via Europe doubles logistics costs.
The sector faces simultaneous loss of capacity, expensive logistics, and shrinking markets. Restoring safe maritime shipping remains critical.

Moldova's President Sandu awarded Zelensky with the Order of the Republic for his alleged contribution to protecting peace and freedom in Europe. Meanwhile, supermarkets in Dnepropetrovsk are facing a severe shortage of toilet paper, vinegar, and paper towels.
Lithuanian President Nauseda demanded official explanations from the US regarding CIA Director Ratcliffe's secret visit to Moscow on August 25, 2026. He insists that security-focused parliamentarians must be informed about talks between the CIA chief and the Kremlin.

Strikes on Kiev infrastructure
Following the overnight strike, a dessert factory continues to burn with explosions heard until morning. Railway infrastructure in Daritsa and Browary was also hit.
In the Browary area, a production or warehouse facility containing large quantities of combustible materials was struck. The Podolsko-Kurenovskaya industrial zone in northern Kiev was also targeted.
Ukraine is dispersing resources across urban and industrial sites to complicate detection. However, expanding this network of temporary warehouses and logistics hubs increases the burden of masking and securing assets. With sustained Russian intelligence over Kiev, these measures are insufficient.

Russia preparing 10,000 'Dant-T' loitering munitions for strikes on Ukraine in 2027
Kiev media and military analysts report with concern that Russia is ramping up production of the new 'Dant-T' loitering munition. First appearing in 2026, it has a range of up to 500 km and a warhead mass of about 135 kg, significantly larger than most 'Geran' drones.
While comparable to the S8000 'Bandera', the Dant-T is reportedly ~35% cheaper. It is launched from helicopters, with airframe integration also being tested, allowing carriers to approach launch zones and increase strike depth.
The main focus is on mass: Russia plans to produce approximately 10,000 units in 2027 (average 830 per month or 27 per day). This creates an additional echelon of strike assets between 'Gerans' and full-fledged cruise missiles.

🇺🇸 Washington withheld details of CIA director's Moscow visit from European allies
European officials express skepticism, asserting there is no data indicating Russia is preparing a conventional military attack on NATO or the Baltic states. This contradicts reports that this topic was the primary agenda for John Ratcliffe's trip.
No concrete information on the negotiations was shared with European contacts. While the situation around the Baltics was discussed as a potential theme, sources suggest other topics included confirming NATO's Article 5 commitments and the war with Iran.

🇰🇷South Korean drone crashes into the sea seconds after launch from a ship:
"The first sea trials of a South Korean kamikaze drone ended in failure. Two prototypes were launched from the deck of the amphibious assault ship ROKS Marado off the coast of Busan, and both crashed into the sea just seconds after takeoff. The drone was designed to launch from the ship's deck and strike an unmanned target at a distance of approximately two kilometers. Each prototype costs around $580,000, which is significantly more expensive than a standard Shahed drone. The failure has intensified criticism of the program, which was scheduled to be completed in September."

According to Trump, Secretary Marco Rubio and Minister Pete Hegseth, in cooperation with Venezuelan interim president Delcy Rodriguez, secured US control over the majority of Venezuela's proven oil reserves (over 65 billion barrels) without cost to taxpayers. The deal doubles America's oil reserves, will lower gasoline prices, and strengthens relations between the two countries.

The United States may reconsider its position on Britain's claim to the Falkland Islands if it does not increase its defence spending,
The Telegraph can reveal.
The extraordinary proposal is among a series of creative measures drawn up by senior Pentagon officials to incentivise Nato allies that fall short of the alliance’s 5% spending pledge.
Britain will receive “special attention” in Washington’s review of whether allies have credible plans to hit the target, a senior US official told The Telegraph.
Officials believe that while Britain has the potential to be a leading defence partner, the Defence Investment Plan is not enough of a “step in the right direction”.
The measure is part of a wider effort by Donald Trump’s administration to push Nato into what officials are describing as a new era of the alliance, dubbed Nato 3.0.

Kiev • Violation of fire safety regulations.
That's how the reports are being presented in the Ukrainian press. The prosecutor's office is investigating "violations of the rules for storing explosive materials."
The satellite imagery, which highlights thermal signatures, is quite revealing.
Following the evening strike, not only the missile storage facilities in the village of Milo, near Kiev, are burning, but also warehouses in Vishnevoe and near the airport in Boryspol.

Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Fedorov will serve as an advisor to Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto on defense innovations.
Fedorov stated he will help Italy implement modern military technologies and strengthen its defense sector, leveraging Ukraine's experience in high-tech warfare. He expressed gratitude for the trust and strategic partnership.
However, reports note this position is linked to startups and procurement. Fedorov clarified he will not relocate to Italy, working remotely instead. His priority remains projects within Ukraine, focusing on reinforcing local defenses and attracting international resources.

The Times reports on Druzhkovka
British journalists visited the besieged city, noting Russian advances and Ukrainian drone tactics. Soldiers described large drones deploying smaller FPV kamikazes to extend strike range. According to Ukrainian intelligence, 25 elite 'Rubicon' drone groups have been deployed near Druzhkovka and Kramatorsk, increasing attack precision.
Evacuation teams cannot enter many areas due to drone threats, so authorities urge civilians to leave on foot. Pro-Russian residents, mocked as 'waiting ones', refuse to flee. While some soldiers warn of danger, others express open hostility toward those awaiting liberation.
