Foreign peacekeepers 'unacceptable' in Ukraine, Russia says as Europe plans security guarantees

The disruption follows a wave of Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil refineries in August, which have strained supplies and forced Moscow to cut exports.

According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed support for such strikes, saying, "We will work on it."

"It's not my goal — elections... My goal is to finish the war," President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

Vladimir Plahotniuc, once seen as the most powerful figure in Moldova, faces charges in three criminal cases, including his alleged role in the 2014 "theft of a billion dollars" from major banks.

"Naval drones targeted key logistics facilities belonging to the aggressor state on the Black Sea coast," the source said.

EuroChem-Belorechensk specializes in nitrogen and complex fertilizers but also produces phosphorus-based products and sulfuric acid, a key component in ammunition manufacturing.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told CNN on Sept. 24 that shooting down intruding jets should be considered if Moscow ignores other warnings.

"If we get the opportunity, we will take down the drones," Danish Police Inspector Jesper Bojgaard Madsen said. The incident comes two days after suspicious drone activity shut down Cophenhagen Airport on Sept. 22.

The strike was part of ongoing efforts to destroy high-value Russian assets on the peninsula, Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR) said.

The number includes 940 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.

The Su-34 jet was shot down at around 4 a.m. local time in the Zaporizhzhia sector of the front line, the Air Force said. The warplane had reportedly been attacking the city of Zaporizhzhia with guided aerial bombs at the time of the strike.

Zelensky said Russia's incursions in Poland, Romania, and Estonia were "not mistakes, but targeted actions."

U.S. officials reportedly briefed Trump about current battlefield conditions and a planned Ukrainian offensive that would require American intelligence support.

"I believe the president is growing incredibly impatient with the Russians right now because he doesn't feel like they're putting enough on the table to end the war," U.S. Vice President JD Vance said.
