Romanian president asks Russia to ensure Romanians are not harmed when it attacks Ukrainian cities
In the last two years we have had maybe 20 or 30 drones [drone incidents — ed.]. In the beginning they were not loaded with explosives. But one month ago we had another one, with explosives, that fortunately did not explode,
Zelenskyy: We try to intercept all Russian drones heading towards European countries
I think it's political pressure. It's a message from Russia: 'Don't help Ukraine',
I think Putin is comparing the reaction and how it has changed during this year or in the last two-three years. This is the way of testing the air defence of other countries, NATO countries, bordering us or bordering Belarus or Russia. So he's testing what air defence they have. Whether they can destroy all the missiles or drones,
One killed, nine injured in Russian attacks on Dnipropetrovsk Oblast
US anti-ballistic missile production insufficient — Zelenskyy
60-65 anti-ballistic missiles per month, compared to current challenges, is nothing. It is no secret and Russia knows this. We need to expand the production. I asked the previous US administration, and I am asking today's administration to give Ukraine licences to produce Patriot missiles,
Zelenskyy: We have a window for talks with Russia before winter
The three countries are the UK, France and Germany. I think these three countries can be negotiators. But also we have good partners from the Nordic countries, and also you know that Türkiye has always wanted to be a mediator, and even we had some successful steps when we brought back our prisoners of war. This is also very important. But who will there be at the end? It's up to Ukraine and Europe to decide and it's also important that Russia will be ready for talks, for dialogue and for Europe,
Zelenskyy still awaiting Witkoff and Kushner in Kyiv: "They've never been here"
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is hoping for the arrival of US representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Kyiv within two weeks
They've never been here. I think it's important, not [only] for us. It's useful for them to understand, to see, to see people, that their life is going on, but we want to stop this war. It's meant to stop Russia. They've been several times in Moscow. I said previously about it, if they want to go this time to Moscow, they have to come to Kyiv and then go to Moscow. I think it will be helpful,

Romania does not rule out expulsion of Russian ambassador if drone incidents continue
I hope they will stop. If not — there are other measures that we can take against this (...). Forcing the ambassador out, for instance. There is a diplomatic hierarchy of measures,
Luhansk Oblast now under control of Ukrainian drones — Ukraine's Third Army Corps
In response to enemy claims of full capture of Luhansk Oblast, we are announcing an operation to control logistics routes in Luhansk Oblast and East Slobozhanshchyna. Luhansk, Starobilsk, Alchevsk, Brianka, Kadiivka — are now under the drone control of the Third Army Corps,
Ukrainian drones hit over 18 Russian oil facilities in May, Ukraine's drone commander says
Lukashenko responds to Ukrainian drone commander's remark about 500 targets in Belarus: "We have one target"
They may have identified 500 targets — thank you for that, because we have 500 targets for them. We have one very serious target, with precise coordinates, and it is located not far from Belarus. They understand that too,
The president's talk — forgive me, Volodymyr Oleksandrovych, but it is nonsense — differs from the position of the military. The Ukrainian military does not want any war with Belarus, I know that for certain. They understand that it would mean an additional thousand kilometres of front line, a border, and not an easy border between Belarus and Ukraine. Do they need that? No."
He says he sees 500 targets — perhaps if he is not blind, he sees even more. But he should understand that we can see who is standing on the other side of the border. These are people rounded up in the streets, poor Ukrainians, and soldiers of the so-called territorial defence forces — yesterday's workers, machine operators, collective farmers and so on. What kind of warriors are they? They are cannon fodder."
Ukraine's richest man Akhmetov recalls Mariupol defence and contact with Azov Brigade fighters
You're good for nothing, you're terrorists. You need to be pushed out, you deceive the people. You bring Donbas to the grave."

Ukrainian intelligence uses hundreds of decoy drones in long-range attacks on Russia, CNN reports
These are decoys. We sent hundreds of them. Some are empty, some carry a payload. The payload is small, but it is enough to destroy air-defence systems,
Laptops are our greatest advantage and the reason why it is so difficult for Russia to destroy this programme, because we are dispersed. We do not have centralised hubs and we operate from dozens of locations. In addition, this software allows us to work with thousands of UAVs,
