À la veille d'une réunion d'urgence de l'UE, les États-Unis réclament une mise sur le marché "immédiate" de volumes supplémentaires de diesel, tout en menaçant selon la presse d'interdire ses exportations si les Européens refusent. Le prix du gazole atteint des records des deux côtés de l'Atlantique, pénalisé par les frappes ukrainiennes sur les raffineries russes et le verrouillage du détroit d'Ormuz par l'Iran.

The diverted funds include tens of millions of dollars Congress approved for countries impacted by the war in Ukraine.

He and a small troop of French Jews worked with the Allies to distribute supplies and fight the Nazis, ambushing a German train and liberating a city in the south.

Exclusive

Military

Russia lost 2026-record 46,230 troops in September by Ukraine's count, as fighting around Donetsk fortress cities grinds on. At the same time, Russia's strikes on Ukraine's rear escalated in September and are climbing again in October.

Intelligence and technology

Europe wants drones that actually work in war, so Ukrainian maker is moving in to build them in Belgium and Luxembourg. TAF Industries and Luxembourg's LUXUAV signed a memorandum to develop and field drones.

Ukraine solves riddle of metal "whiskers" on new Russia's drones. They aren't clever sensor. The metal prongs appearing on Russian strike drones are a mechanical contact detonator.

Belgium will send three F-16 fighter jets, but maintenance delays may keep Ukraine from using them. The likely reason is the lengthy maintenance process, which may keep many of the jets from shooting down Russian drones and cruise missiles attacking Ukraine.

Ukraine is downing Russia's fastest drones—just not often enough, and scaling up comes down to money. Russia's jet drones outrun the cheap interceptors Ukraine built for slower Shaheds, pushing Kyiv to field new hardware that works in combat but can't yet be made in the numbers its skies demand.

Russia just accidentally crashed its first Tu-95 bomber in 11 years. Its missiles will keep striking Ukraine anyway. It is out of production and Russia's bomber fleet keeps shrinking, but a raid on 8 September needed just six bombers, and Russia still has around a hundred.

Robots won't replace armored vehicles, says Ukrainian company that builds both. It reveals one job they can't do. Ukraine ran 100,000 robot missions this year.

International

There is no risk of Russia using nuclear weapons against the Baltics, Rutte assures. Rutte's assessment comes as Moscow warns the alliance that isolating Kaliningrad could trigger a nuclear response.

Ukraine's training facilities get boost: EU is funding centers where its army prepares soldiers, with Denmark putting in €33 million. Several training centers inside Ukraine will be upgraded.

Humanitarian and social impact

A school with children, a café, warehouses: Russia's drones hit civilian Kyiv again. More than 100 students and about 60 staff were in the school's shelter when a Russian drone hit the building. All came through unharmed, as fires burned across two Kyiv districts.

Russian glide bombs scarred a statue of Christ and damaged a 19th-century church in Sumy. The same strike hit a school where children were sheltering and nearby homes, where two people were killed and six injured, three of them children.

Political and legal developments

Russia's 2026 deficit nearly doubles to a record $88 billion, and its new budget plans three more years in the red. The draft sent to the Duma still gives the military its biggest budget since the full-scale invasion began.

Two rubles for the army for every one on welfare, schools, and hospitals: Russia's 2027 wartime budget. Civilian spending is set to fall to about 9% of GDP, a level not seen since 2005.

Moscow's message to European business: your Russian assets are now leverage against your governments. ISW expects decisions on which firms to seize to depend entirely on Russia's relations with each company's home country.

The US has until 18 October to choose its Russia sanctions targets—if any. Kyiv's wish list leads with the firms feeding Russia's Starlink clone. At the top: Russian firms making parts for Moscow's Starlink rival, still untouched by US sanctions.

New developments

Ukraine's steel output fell 57% and may hit zero next month. Expert says saving it comes down to four steps, and they're Brussels' to make. Steel is Ukraine's second-largest foreign-currency earner, employing more than 70,000 people directly and another 250,000 in related industries.

Shoppers and vendors in Aspen surprised by unusual customer as it stretched to sample stall offerings

Farmers’ market shoppers might not usually pay much attention to the local resident devouring fresh bread and pastries at one of the stalls with extra gusto – but some certainly did last weekend when they realized it was a hungry bear.

Onlookers on Saturday reached for their phones to take photos and videos of the bear in downtown Aspen, Colorado, after it wandered through the stalls and got up on to its hind legs to dig into the baked goods.

Request for Clancy, 36, to be acquitted turned down nearly a month after first trial ended with deadlocked jury

The judge in the Lindsay Clancy murder case on Thursday refused to declare her not guilty, turning down a defense motion that had argued there was not enough evidence to prove she was responsible for killing her three children.

On Tuesday, Clancy’s attorney Kevin Reddington tried to persuade Judge William Sullivan that prosecutors had not offered any proof that Clancy had killed her three children. Prosecutors argued there was plenty of evidence, calling Reddington’s claim “laughable”.

Court will review practice of indefinite detention for undocumented immigrants living in the US

The US supreme court agreed on Thursday to take up a case challenging the Trump administration’s practice of indefinite detention for undocumented immigrants living in the US and awaiting deportation proceedings.

At the center of the immigration case is a dispute over Donald Trump’s reinterpretation of a longstanding policy that has led to a huge surge in the number of migrants held in detention centers.
