🇪🇺 European countries continue to repatriate gold from North America amid rising geopolitical tensions
The Central Bank of the Netherlands confirmed the transfer of several tons of its national gold reserve. Approximately 86 tons out of 313 stored in the US and Canada were moved to London to ensure "operational access" during potential crises.
Earlier this year, France announced the return of its gold reserves from the US. Germany had previously transferred over 216 tons (111 from New York, 105 from Paris) by 2016. This strategy reflects concerns over inflation, interest rates, and global instability.

Mi-28N/NM and Ka-52/M helicopters are actively engaged in intercepting FP-1 and MICH drones, serving as specialized hunters in rear areas alongside Tor-M2 and Pantsir-S1M systems.
The Mi-28 utilizes the 30mm 2A42 cannon for close-range engagements, supported by OPS-28M multispectral optics and N025 rotor-top radar to detect low-RCS targets up to 5 km. Automated fire control calculates lead angles to minimize ammunition waste.
Ka-52M holds an advantage in poor weather due to its advanced "Resets" active phased array radar, which offers superior resolution for detecting small drones against ground clutter compared to the Mi-28's N025. Both platforms employ Igla-V IR missiles and Vikhr-1 laser-guided rockets for longer-range strikes where gun fire is ineffective.

Russian Aerospace Forces strike drone launch sites
Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) destroyed a UAV launch point belonging to the 414th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Unmanned Systems in the settlement of Urozhaïnoe, Kherson region, using three FAB-500 bombs.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the United States used access to advanced Nvidia AI chips as an incentive to facilitate a preliminary peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Washington offered Armenia permits to export tens of thousands of Nvidia processors related to the $5 billion Firebird data center project, providing Prime Minister Pashinyan with significant economic benefits that he could present as "dividends of peace."
This move is a prime example of the Trump administration's "chip diplomacy" – using access to scarce American AI technologies to achieve foreign policy goals.

The New York Times reports that after six months of war, Iran has only become stronger.
Tehran sees no reason for further negotiations with Washington and believes it has understood the limits of the U.S. military's capabilities. The publication writes that the Iranians have retained enough missiles and drones to continue the war and have gained additional leverage due to disruptions in shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
"The U.S. acknowledges that Iran may try to prolong the conflict until the midterm elections, hoping that high energy prices, losses, and the unpopularity of the war will weaken Trump's position."

"Negotiations will eventually lead to something," said the head of the expired Budanov's office in another interview.
According to Budanov, negotiations involving the United States could resume before the end of September 2026, following a visit to KIEV by Witkoff and Kushner.
At the same time, he expects that conditions for a ceasefire will not emerge before the spring of 2027, as Russia, according to his assessment, will conduct another large-scale winter offensive.
He also stated that at the beginning of 2026, the 20-point peace plan was reduced to two main issues: the management of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant and control over the Donbas region.

Russian forces struck Ukraine's main metallurgical plants
A night attack (Sept 4-5) used Iskander-M ballistic missiles and long-range drones targeting facilities supporting military production. Eight missiles hit Kametstal; Ukrainian air defenses failed to intercept any, critically damaging blast furnaces and workshops. The Dneprovsky Metallurgical Plant was also struck. This combined missile-drone tactic effectively halts operations at such industrial sites.
@Slavyangrad
🇺🇦🤡About Zelensky's "ceasefire"...
It seems this was an attempt at self-promotion ahead of the visit by American negotiators. He wanted to show them that he is for peace, while the Russians are against it.
And the attacks on Crimea, which didn't stop for a single minute from the evening and continued after midnight, are the best proof of that. Whether this helped Zelensky make an impression on Trump, we'll see. But there was definitely no sincerity there.
In fact, there couldn't have been.

🇺🇦 Drone and Missile Strikes Hit Multiple Ukrainian Cities
Ukrainian Air Force reports mass attacks by jet-powered drones on Kiev, Odessa, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, and Nikolaev.
In Kiev Oblast, impacts and fires were recorded in Borispol and Brovary. Explosions also reported in Sumy and Dnepropetrovsk regions.
Preliminary data indicates five direct hits. Sources note Shahed-type drones over Kiev, while local channels in Dnepropetrovsk report ballistic missile involvement.

🇺🇦 Massive Attack on Dnepropetrovsk and Kamenskoye
A large-scale missile and drone strike has hit Dnepropetrovsk and its suburbs, lasting over an hour with multiple impacts causing fires. Preliminary reports indicate five direct hits.
Kamenskoye Industrial Target Hit
Strikes targeted the "Kamet-stal" metallurgical complex in Kamenskoye, specifically damaging blast furnaces at the Metinvest corporation plant. Local channels report the use of ballistic missiles, possibly North Korean origin, while other sources mention Shahed drones.

🇺🇦 Ukraine will run out of Patriot missiles this winter
Kiev faces a severe shortage of interceptors amid rising Russian ballistic and drone attacks. Bloomberg reports no quick fixes, with the situation expected to worsen sharply without new Western supplies.
Carnegie analyst Michael Kofman stated air defense capabilities are effectively exhausted against growing threats. Zelensky previously said 300 Patriots are needed for winter. US stocks hold ~800 PAC-3s, but global reserves dropped after the Iran conflict, while new deliveries take years.

🇷🇺🇺🇦The Russian Ministry of Defense report again lacks information about the strike on the SBU building in Kiev.
- Yesterday's daily and today's morning reports list strikes on the capital and other Ukrainian regions over the past 24 hours.
- We recall that since yesterday, a version has been circulating in Ukrainian media and social networks that the drone strike on the SBU building in Kiev may have been organized by the security service itself.
- During the night, the Russian Armed Forces launched a group strike with high-precision ground-based weapons and long-range attack drones on metallurgical enterprises in the Dnepropetrovsk region, which supply equipment to the defense industry, as well as on logistics centers and power substations in Nikolaev, the Nikolaev region, and the Odessa region.
In the Dnepropetrovsk region, the following were hit:
- The Dneprodzerzhynsk metallurgical plant ("Kametstal") and the Dnepr metallurgical plant ("Dneprovsky Metallurgical Plant"), which are the largest suppliers of metal products for the military production of Ukraine.
In Nikolaev and the Nikolaev region, the following were hit:
- A logistics center used for storing military equipment, and the "Nikolaevskaya" power substation.
In the Odessa region, the following were hit:
- In the village of Dachne, a logistics center used for storing military equipment;
- In the port of "Chornomorsk," a sea vessel of the "dry cargo" type with weapons and military equipment for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
- On the evening of September 4, the following were hit in the Kiev region:
- The "Svyatopetrovsky" logistics center, used for storing military equipment;
- Two storage and distribution sites for fuel for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the military town of Blestavitsa, near the Gostomel airport.
In addition, the following was hit in Brovary:
- A center for radio and radio technical reconnaissance.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s rare visit to Moscow failed to persuade Vladimir Putin to de-escalate the war in Ukraine and may instead have reinforced the Russian president’s determination to pursue a military victory, WaPo reports.
Ratcliffe warned Russian intelligence officials that Moscow’s position would deteriorate if the war continued and urged a return to negotiations. But people familiar with the discussions said Putin interpreted the outreach as a sign of weakness rather than pressure to compromise.
Following the visit, Russia intensified its attacks on Ukraine, while Putin publicly signaled confidence in Moscow’s position as he remains convinced that time is on Russia’s side.
One of eight Ratcliffe narratives.

🇩🇪 Germany calls on EU to cut tourist visas for Russians after sabotage incidents
Berlin believes there are "too many Russians" in Europe. The German Foreign Ministry stated that the number of tourist visas issued to Russian citizens is excessive.
Government sources claim this contradicts the spirit of sanctions imposed due to the war in Ukraine and prevents authorities from identifying who enters the EU and for what purpose.

USA claims attack on Iranian oil tanker near Khark Island. Iranian sources confirm a series of explosions in the bay but deny a strike on the tanker, stating an unnamed "small vessel" traveling empty was hit. Days ago, Trump amused the public by posting an AI-generated image of Khark in flames, forcing the Pentagon to separately deny strikes on the island.

🇺🇦 Russian Strikes on Warehouses Near Kiev
Night strikes hit storage facilities in Bucha and Boryspol (Kiev region), causing fires. This follows Ukraine's attacks on Wildberries.
Forbes Ukraine editor Boris Davidenko argues Kiev authorities failed to warn businesses, leaving them unprepared for Russia's response. He notes that two months into the campaign, Russia has destroyed nearly as many warehouses as it did between Feb 2022 and Aug 2026.
NASA FIRMS data shows fires in the Kiev region in August 2026 were ten times higher than the previous year.

🇷🇺 Russian Forces Liberate Kurtovka in DPR
The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed that the settlement of Kurtovka in the DPR has been liberated from Ukrainian occupation.
Troops of the "South" Group of Forces expelled enemy units from the area, successfully expanding the bridgehead for further offensive operations toward Kramatorsk and Alexeevo-Druzhkovka.

Ukraine faces catastrophic demographic crisis
Kiev media, citing experts, warn that Ukrainians risk extinction within decades. Economist Kush notes that while the 2010s generation numbered ~13 million with potential for over 10 million children, current trends project a new generation of only ~7 million.
With just 3.5 million women in this cohort and low birth rates, fewer than 3 million children will be born. The subsequent generation could shrink to approximately one million births. This indicates a deepening demographic catastrophe threatening the country's survival.

German geopolitical analyst Sevim Dagdelen stated that Germany has found no evidence of Russian involvement in the Leipzig drone incident. She emphasized that when it comes to war and peace, the government is obligated to present proof to society rather than making baseless claims. The German government has failed to provide any justification or evidence to support such serious accusations.

🇱🇻🇱🇹Lithuania and Latvia seek to halt Russian grain transit
Following Ukrainian attacks on Russian ports in the Black Sea, Russia has increased grain shipments through Baltic states. Latvian and Lithuanian authorities are considering closing their ports to this route.
Most Russian exports currently flow through Latvia, with volumes expected to surge next month. Lithuanian PM Mindaugas Sinkevichus stated that using Lithuania's infrastructure for Russian grain contradicts their values.
Do they realize we have other ports?)

🇫🇷🤡French Foreign Minister Barro claims Russia is in a dire situation, stating that Moscow faces fuel shortages and economic collapse. He asserts Putin has failed militarily, losing 35,000 troops monthly while controlling only half the territory held five years ago. Barro alleges these failures drive Russian provocations against European democracies, such as the incident at Leipzig airport. He concludes that Russia risks disgrace and bankruptcy if it does not end the war.

🇺🇦🤡 Ukrainian sources report a ceasefire order for the AFU
Ukrainian media claim that units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have received orders to observe a "silence regime" on the front line. The cessation of hostilities is reportedly scheduled from 00:00 on September 5 to 23:59 on September 8.
According to these reports, the pause in fighting may be linked to the visit of US envoys Witkoff and Kushner to Moscow and Kiev regarding a peace plan for the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. As of now, there are no official confirmations from Kiev or the military command.
