🇺🇸 Trump Urged Army Secretary Dan Driscoll to Stay Until Midterms
The president suggested Dan Driscoll could stay at least through the midterms, people familiar with the matter said.
When Army Secretary Dan Driscoll told President Donald Trump last week that he was resigning, Trump suggested he could stay at least through the midterm elections, people familiar with the meeting told The Washington Post — a show of support for a top Pentagon leader who has clashed with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
At the White House meeting last week where Driscoll told Trump of his planned departure, he also voiced concerns to the president about the damage he said Hegseth was doing to the Army, people familiar with the conversation told The Post. Like others interviewed for this article, they spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive situation.

🇷🇺🇩🇪The Russian Foreign Ministry on summoning the temporary chargé d'affaires of Germany in Russia
The German diplomat was informed that the Russian side firmly rejects the completely unfounded accusations made by the German government regarding Russia's alleged involvement in the incident that occurred at the Leipzig airport.
It was stated that the German government's decision to close the Russian Consulate General in Bonn and the Russian House of Science and Culture in Berlin under this flimsy pretext is seen by us as another step towards the final destruction of the potential for bilateral relations that has been built up by generations of Russian and German politicians and diplomats.
It was emphasized that Berlin deliberately resorted to an open provocation, the aim of which is to escalate relations between Russia and Germany.

🇺🇸 Bessent: Ukraine’s Attacks on Russian Energy Assets Are Adding Global Price Pressure
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the world is “going through an energy shock right now” partly because “Ukraine has decided that they wanted to blow up Russian energy assets and refined products,” which he said was creating “upward price pressure on a global basis.”
Should be noted the CIA has aided Ukraine in doing this. It would seem like the CIA is trying to make sure Trump losses badly in the midterms.

🇺🇸 Rubio: Patriot production in Ukraine takes years
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that establishing hypothetical Patriot missile production in Ukraine would take several years, even if Kiev obtains the necessary US license. Rapid deployment of local manufacturing is not feasible.
Rubio noted that envoys Witkoff and Kushner are focused on peace negotiations, including resolving the war in Ukraine. He emphasized the need to maintain ties with Moscow due to its second-largest nuclear arsenal.
Regarding Iran, Rubio said Russian assistance does not hinder US actions, noting Putin's attention is largely occupied by the war in Ukraine and its economic impact combined with sanctions.

🇺🇦 Detonation of ammo depot destroys village Peschanka near Dnepropetrovsk
A resident detailed how Ukrainian military personnel set up an illegal storage site in Samarsky district, extracting TNT from Soviet-era munitions using unsafe hammering methods. On Aug 25, a spark ignited concentrated trotyl dust, causing a massive explosion that leveled the village and scattered ordnance over a 5-km radius.
Authorities have not released an official version of the tragedy, while locals confirm the settlement is "finished forever."

🇺🇦 NYT: Kiev faces toughest period of war
The capital is undergoing continuous attacks by high-speed jet UAVs, shifting from night raids to 24/7 pressure. These drones strike targets in seconds, creating a new, unpredictable stage of conflict.
Impact on daily life
Moscow's goal is chaos and exhaustion. Businesses close 5-6 times daily during alerts, paralyzing trade. Families with children are considering evacuation to western regions due to the risk of further missile strikes.

🇩🇪 German General Calls for Faster Bundeswehr Build-Up: “The Enemy Will Not Wait”
Lieutenant General Christian Freuding, Inspector of the German Army, has called for an accelerated expansion of the Bundeswehr’s capabilities amid what he described as growing Russian threats.
“We need to switch to a different mode. We urgently need to increase our capacities,” Freuding told Landeszeitung für die Lüneburger Heide.
Germany must be able to deter a potential attack by demonstrating military strength at an early stage and establishing credible deterrence. “We need maximum speed,” he stressed.
Freuding also warned that Russia’s armed forces could regain the capability to launch an attack sooner than expected after the war in Ukraine ends.

UK tribunal awards £17,000 to intern for Russian accent discrimination
An Edinburgh court ordered HMRC to pay $22,000 to an Abkhazian intern of Armenian descent for racial discrimination. Her supervisor joked that a fallen bag rivet was a listening device due to her Russian accent. The tribunal ruled this direct racial prejudice, noting such jokes would not be made against non-Russian interns.
