Russia bans fuel exports as supply disrupted by Ukrainian drones
MOSCOW – Russia is banning exports of fuel until the end of the year as gas pumps across the country and in the areas under its occupation are increasingly running dry because of Ukrainian drone attacks.Kyiv first stepped up drone attacks on Russian refineries, pumping stations and fuel trains in an attempt to disrupt fuel supply chains over the summer when demand is traditionally high as people drive more during vacation time.While Russian officials initially blamed the shortages on “logistical reasons” and promised gasoline and diesel would begin flowing again, the shortages have only worsened in recent weeks.The Ukrainian Air Force said it struck multiple Russian fuel production sites and pumping stations this week, including a major oil refinery in Bashkortostan in southern...

NATO divided on how to respond to repeated Russian incursions
BRUSSELS – NATO allies are divided over whether the alliance should make it a policy to shoot down Russian jets that violate NATO’s airspace, with some countries including the US, Poland and Baltic nations signaling that future violations should be met with force, while others, including Germany, urge more restraint.The issue came to a head during an emergency meeting of the North Atlantic Council on Tuesday, which was called by Estonia after three Russian fighter jets violated Estonian airspace last week for 12 minutes.Representatives from several countries, including Poland and Estonia, wanted the joint statement following the meeting to make clear that any additional violations by Russia, including from manned aircraft, would be met with force, according to two NATO officials...

Russia’s new daytime attacks put millions of lives on hold
KYIV – Tim Hryshchuk did not imagine spending his first day at school in a basement. But when the air raid alert sounded in Kyiv on September 2, the 5-year-old and his new classmates had no choice but to head underground.That’s what happens when one starts school during a war.Russian aerial attacks have become larger and more frequent since Moscow scaled up its drone production at the start of the year. But while most of these assaults used to come at night, there have been more daytime threats in recent weeks.Kyiv alone has experienced more than 1,800 air alerts, lasting more than 2,200 hours in total, since Russia launched its unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. In the first two weeks of this month, there were, on average, two air raid alarms a day.Each one of...

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has called the story a scandal - but no government officials have been charged in court
Phone spyware scandal in Greece moves to court as critics claim cover-up
ATHENS — It has become known as Greece's Watergate: spyware software and Greek intelligence targeted the mobile phones of government ministers, senior military officers, judges and journalists. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has called it a scandal, but no government officials have been charged in court and critics accuse the government of trying to cover up the truth. Instead, a low-ranking judge will on Wednesday hear the case against two Israelis and two Greeks, allegedly involved with marketing spy software known as Predator. In the summer of 2022, the current head of socialist party Pasok, Nikos Androulakis — then an MEP — was informed by the EU Parliament's IT experts that he had received a malicious text message from an unknown sender, containing spy...

The EU wants to build a 'drone wall' across the Eastern flank
EU calls for drone wall to deter Russia after new incident in Denmark

The airport later reopened but warned of delays and cancelled departures. Norway's Oslo Airport was also disrupted.Police said they refrained from shooting down the aircraft because the risk was too great,...
