Explosions reported at a Russian airbase in occupied Crimea

The Russian aircraft — including three MiG-31s, a Su-30, and a Su-35 —flew over the Baltic Sea near Latvian airspace.

Sergey Lavrov alleged that NATO and the EU had moved beyond indirect support and were now parties to the war.

Olena Zelenska thanked Melania Trump "for her support of Ukraine, particularly for her attention to children who have become victims of Russia’s brutal war."

"This creates a critical situation that threatens the security of not only Ukraine but also European countries," Energoatom said.

"With all of the heavy bombardment over the last two weeks, they’ve gained almost no land," Trump told the press in the White House during a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

NORAD dispatched an E-3, four F-16s, and four KC-135 tankers to track two Russian Tu-95 bombers and two Su-35 fighter jets.

NATO potentially shooting down Russian planes in its airspace "would be war," Russian Ambassador to France, Alexey Meshkov, said in an interview with the RTL news channel published on Sept. 25.

A DDoS attack on the SPB payment system and the telecom provider Transtelekom on Sept. 24 allegedly disrupted instant transfers and online payments for many users.

"Behind this surprising optimism lies a signal of reduced U.S. involvement and a shift of responsibility for ending the war to Europe," Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said. "Better truth than illusions."

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.
