Thousands of students and other demonstrators marched in Belgrade on September 8, demanding accountability for police violence during recent anti-government protests, RFE/RL reported.

"According to preliminary information, about 6 private houses were damaged: facades, roofs, windows, and fences. Emergency and special services are working on site," Krasnodar Krai Governor Veniamin Kondratyev claimed.

"Information warfare is a reality of our time, and artificial intelligence is only going to multiply the risks from that," James Rubin, former head of the Global Engagement Center (GEC), said.

"No sanctions will be able to force the Russian Federation to change the consistent position that our president has repeatedly spoken about," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told a Russian state media reporter.

The incident, which Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said was the third of its kind in 2025, occurred near Vaindloo Island, located approximately 28 km north of Estonia's mainland in the Gulf of Finland.

"Fuel in Moscow is acting up a little, they say," the Commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces Robert "Magyar" Brovdi mocked on Telegram. "Gasoline is becoming a scarce liquid, while gas and oil – fast-burning."

The statement follows a massive Russian attack overnight on Sept. 8 that damaged thermal power plants in Kyiv Oblast.

"The Russians were forced to postpone their offensive in Zaporizhzhia Oblast and redeploy marine units to Donetsk Oblast," Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said.

Alexey Sinitsyn, CEO of potash producer K-Potash Service, was found dead near Kaliningrad.

"If the Europeans drew a line and said: 'We're not going to buy more Russian gas, we're not going to buy Russian oil.' Would that have a positive influence on the U.S. leaning in more aggressively (on sanctions) as well? Absolutely," U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said.
