<\/a>Poland should be involved in Ukraine talks, says PM Tusk<\/p>\n

Poland should \u200bbe involved in discussions aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, the Polish prime minister said yesterday, after the leaders of Britain, Germany and France met \u2060president Volodymyr Zelensky in London and said they supported ceasefire talks.<\/p>\n

Prime minister Donald Tusk’s absence from the talks in London has raised questions in Warsaw as to whether Poland is being sidelined as \u2060Western European powers try \u200bto \u2060steer Kyiv towards talks with Moscow in the near future.<\/p>\n

“I’m… very cautious regarding the ideas emerging in \u2060Western Europe about initiating some kind of dialogue or conversation with (Russian \u200bpresident \u2060Vladimir) Putin regarding Ukraine \u200cas quickly as possible,” Tusk told a news conference.<\/p>\n

Poland has been a staunch supporter of Ukraine, its eastern neighbour, in \u200cits more than four-year-old war against \u200cinvading Russian forces, contributing financial and military help. It has also emerged as one of the biggest spenders on defence in Nato.<\/p>\n

“I spoke with (Italy’s) prime minister (Giorgia) Meloni, who \u200cis not thrilled that this format \u2060exists,” Tusk said.<\/p>\n

“Any arrangements in which Poland does not \u2060participate will not be binding on Poland,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Tusk said a meeting would take \u200cplace on Ukraine \u200bin the “coming days” that would \u200cinclude Poland and Italy as \u200bwell as Britain, Germany and France.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Russia faces major overnight attacks as public transport suspended<\/p>\n

Russian air defences were repelling drone attacks in the city of Novokuibyshevsk in the early hours today, the Samara regional governor said.<\/p>\n

Novokuibyshevsk is a major oil hub on the Volga river that hosts several refineries operated by the state-controlled oil giant Rosneft.<\/p>\n

Authorities urged Samara city’s one million residents to seek shelter as public transportation was suspended amid air raid alerts, local media reported.<\/p>\n

In the southern Rostov region of Russia bordering Ukraine, falling debris from \u200ca drone triggered a fire in a fuel tank at a civilian site, \u200band in the central Vladimir region two industrial facilities were on fire, regional \u200cgovernors said on Telegram.<\/p>\n

The remote Russian oil-producing regions Khanty-Mansiysk, Perm and Tyumen, as well as industrial regions Chelyabinsk and Sverdlovsk in the Ural mountains thousands of kilometres from Ukraine, issued rare air raid alerts, according to social media posts by local authorities.<\/p>\n

Overall, Russia downed \u200b326 Ukrainian drones overnight, of which over a \u200cdozen were heading for Moscow, the defence \u200bministry and Moscow’s mayor said in social media posts.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Zelensky says ready to share drone technology with Nordic and Baltic countries<\/p>\n

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky met with Nordic and Baltic leaders who were in Estonia for a regional summit yesterday in a visit that comes amid friction over Ukrainian drones straying into the region in recent months.<\/p>\n

Zelensky and Estonian president Alar Karis agreed to work on cheaper ways to shoot down drones that have flown over Estonia, including one that a Nato fighter jet shot down over the south of the country in May.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have shown that we can shoot the drones down with the planes,\u201d Karis said at a news conference. Using fighter jets to shoot down the drones is expensive, he added, so he hopes to partner with Ukraine for its technology and expertise to do it more cheaply.<\/p>\n

Zelensky said Ukraine was ready to do so, drawing on its experience with helping countries in the Middle East shoot down drones, where it had sent experts to train local forces.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did this in the Middle East, and it worked,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said Ukraine could offer the low-cost interceptor drones it has deployed at home to build an inexpensive shield against Russian drone attacks, and that Kyiv could send experts to its European partners \u201cat any moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Karis said he expects drones to cross into Baltic airspace as the war continues and urged the public to remain calm. Estonia and the other Baltic nations are among Ukraine\u2019s staunchest supporters in its war against Russia.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Drones hit historic museum in Russia-annexed Crimea as officials alter train schedule<\/p>\n

Ukrainian drones hit a historic museum in Sevastopol in Russia-annexed Crimea, local authorities said today, as they reduced the number of nighttime trains in the face of intensifying air attacks.<\/p>\n

The museum commemorates the 1853-1856 Crimea War between the Russian Empire and a coalition that \u2060included the Ottoman Empire. Russia was defeated in that war.<\/p>\n

Sevastopol’s Russian-installed governor, Mikhail Razvozhayev, said on Telegram the museum’s roof was hit. He did not provide details about the damage or whether there were any casualties.<\/p>\n

“The enemy will pay for this sacrilege!” Razvozhayev said \u2060in his post early on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in Crimea, authorities cut train schedules for night hours, the peninsula’s Russian-installed governor Sergei Aksyonov said on Telegram, after a drone attack this week injured a train driver and killed his assistant.<\/p>\n

The Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, \u200bannexed \u2060by Russia from Ukraine in 2014, \u200cis facing a fuel shortage following recent Ukraine drone attacks just as the holiday season starts. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Russia says Europe not ready to mediate peace talks<\/p>\n

The Kremlin has claimed that the European Union was far from ready to act as a mediator in any \u200cUkraine peace \u200cprocess and \u200cappeared \u2060to be more focused \u2060on continuing the war.<\/p>\n

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov was speaking to journalists when he was \u2060asked about \u200cthe \u200cpossibility of the \u200cEU stepping in as \u200ca mediator at a time US-led negotiations have taken a backseat due to the war in Iran.<\/p>\n

“First of \u200call, starting mediation efforts by putting \u2060forward certain \u2060conditions to Russia is likely illogical and wrong. And, of course, this is unacceptable to us,” Peskov said.<\/p>\n

His remarks came after Volodymyr Zelensky returned from a meeting in London with the leaders of Britain, France and Germany who said they were ready to support ceasefire talks and engage with Russian president Vladimir Putin, if required.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Russian banks targeted as EU proposes 21st package of sanctions<\/p>\n

The EU has proposed a 21st package of sanctions against Russia for its war in Ukraine, heavily targeting the country’s banks and crypto networks as well as drone \u2060production, oil traders and refiners, EU chief diplomat Kaja Kallas said.<\/p>\n

The new package will propose listing 170 individuals and entities. These include close to 90 banks \u2013 the biggest in one go \u2013 and would take the total number of listed banks to over 100, or more than half of Russia’s 213 internationally connected lenders.<\/p>\n

The banks will come under the full weight of EU sanctions including asset freezes, travel and transaction bans.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe intend to deal a heavy blow to Russia\u2019s financial sector, imposing assets freezes on close to 90 banks and additional transactions bans on over 30 banks in Russia and other third countries,” Kallas said in a post on X.<\/p>\n

An EU diplomatic source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the aim was to weaken Russia’s financial system and incentivise Moscow to negotiate a peace deal with Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The package will be presented to EU \u2060ambassadors today for negotiations. Sanctions require unanimity to be adopted.<\/p>\n

Western sanctions already heavily target Russia’s banking system and its major banks were disconnected in 2022 from SWIFT, a secure global financial payment instructions system.<\/p>\n

Russian companies now use a broad network of smaller lenders to evade sanctions and continue trading.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Russian ammunition chief killed in car bomb<\/p>\n

A Russian general handling the ammunition supplies for the Russian army has been killed in an attack in the Moscow region, officials said.<\/p>\n

Damir Davydov, the head of the Russian defence ministry\u2019s missile and artillery wing, has been named in reports of the car explosion in Balashikha, reports said.<\/p>\n

The explosion took place around 5.30am on Tuesday, when a BMW X3 exploded near Koldunova Street in Balashikha\u2019s Aviatorov neighbourhood, with reports saying the driver was pulling out of a parking space.<\/p>\n

Witnesses reached the driver, Davydov, while he was still alive but he died shortly after at the scene.<\/p>\n

Officials also found a second car bomb and blew it up in south-west Moscow.<\/p>\n

The Russian federal Investigative Committee and the prosecutor\u2019s office for the Moscow region confirmed the explosion but did not name the victim.<\/p>\n

Ukraine has not issued a comment on his death so far, though Kyiv has claimed responsibility for several attacks on Russian generals since the start of Vladimir Putin\u2019s war.<\/p>\n
