EU ambassador on overnight attack: "Kyiv has become a frontline city"
EU Ambassador to Ukraine Katarína Mathernová has commented on the 17 September Russian attack on Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv.
Source: Mathernová on X (Twitter), as reported by European Pravda
Details: Mathernová said the death toll in the city of Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast alone since the beginning of August is approaching 120.
Quote: "Kyiv has become a frontline city. Since 27 August, we have had nighttime and daytime attacks. The Russians struck us heavily last night, with a massive combined missile & drone attack. The attack ended just a few minutes ago… Russia launched dozens of ballistic and cruise missiles and hundreds of drones, more than half of them jet-powered."
More details: Mathernová also commented on a Russian attack on a passenger train in Mykolaiv Oblast on 16 September. A total of 168 passengers and train attendants were evacuated because of the threat of further strikes.
Quote: "I love Ukrainian trains. I love travelling on them. Today I still do, but with fear."
More details: Mathernová pointed to Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs describing Ukraine's railway infrastructure as a "legitimate military target" and said no one could guarantee the safety of Western politicians and diplomats visiting Ukraine.
Quote: "That is not a warning. It is an admission."
Background:
• On the night of 16-17 September, Russia attacked Ukraine with 157 drones and anti-ship, ballistic and cruise missiles. Air defence forces have managed to down 131 aerial assets. The attack has injured 19 people, including two children, and damaged residential buildings, educational institutions, offices, a petrol station, warehouses, cars and railway infrastructure facilities.
• On 13 September, Russia attacked a locomotive near the Polish border. The state-run railway operator Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways) suggested that the intended target may have been a train carrying European diplomats, which had departed the station earlier than scheduled.

Russia has attacked shut-down Zaporizhzhia Steelworks for fourth time in a month: one injured – photos
Russia attacked the shut-down Zaporizhstal (Zaporizhzhia Steelworks), a major iron and steel manufacturing plant in the city of Zaporizhzhia, with two ballistic missiles on the morning of 17 September. One employee has been taken to hospital. Production equipment and railway infrastructure have been significantly damaged.
Source: Metinvest, an international mining and steel group headquartered in Ukraine
Details: Metinvest said the employee was unable to reach shelter in time. He was freed from under the rubble and taken to hospital with shrapnel wounds and concussion. There were no fatalities.
The aftermath of the Russian attack
Photo: MetinvestThe strike damaged the main and auxiliary equipment, workshop buildings and railway infrastructure. Workers at the steelworks are clearing the rubble and assessing the damage.
This was the fourth attack on Zaporizhstal since August. According to Metinvest's estimates, Russia has launched a total of 17 ballistic missiles at the steelworks during this period.
Background:
• Following a Russian ballistic missile strike on 11 August, Zaporizhstal completely shut down operations. In late August, Metinvest said that it was not yet possible to determine when the steelworks could resume operations.
• Steel production in Ukraine halved in August.
• In September, four ballistic missiles hit Zaporizhstal, and the damage was described as critical.
• Before the full-scale war, metallurgy accounted for up to 7% of Ukraine's GDP, while its contribution may now be close to zero, according to Metinvest's estimate.

Poll gauges Zelenskyy's approval after anti-corruption investigations
A poll conducted following investigations by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) has found that 54% of Ukrainians said they trust President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, compared with 41% who said they do not. This gives him a trust balance of +13 percentage points.
Source: the survey by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS), conducted from 21 August to 10 September 2026
Quote: "The field phase of this survey began immediately after the NABU and SAPO investigation Forrest Gump, which resulted in the dismissal of Iryna Mudra, Deputy Head of the President's Office. About half of the interviews were conducted from 4 September onwards, after the new Carthage investigation into the Prosecutor General's Office, but the survey did not cover any further developments after 14 September, when former prosecutor general [Ruslan Kravchenko] attempted to move against NABU and SAPO."
Details: Of the 54% who trust Zelenskyy, 18% said they trust him "completely", while 36% said they somewhat trust him. Among those who do not trust Zelenskyy, 25% said they do not trust him "at all", while 16% said they somewhat distrust him.
For reference: The nationwide KIIS survey was conducted from 21 August to 10 September 2026 using a random sample of mobile phone numbers across all oblasts of Ukraine in the government-controlled territories. A total of 1,003 respondents were interviewed.
The survey covered Ukrainian citizens aged 18 and over who were living in government-controlled territory at the time of the poll.
Under normal conditions, the margin of error of such a sample (with a probability of 0.95 and taking into account the design effect of 1.3) did not exceed 4.1% for indicators close to 50%, 3.5% for indicators close to 25%, 2.5% for indicators close to 10%, 1.8% for indicators close to 5%.
KIIS noted that, under wartime conditions, some additional systematic bias may also affect the results.

Polish foreign minister on Russian threat to destroy Poland in 2-3 days: Ukraine has shown it is difficult
Responding to a threat by Nikolai Patrushev, an aide to the Russian ruler, to destroy Poland in two to three days, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski noted that Poles have been hearing such threats for 20 years.
Source: Polish news channel Polsat News, as reported by European Pravda
Details: Sikorski noted that Russian generals "have been threatening us with nuclear war for 20 years", while "Kremlin propagandists do it continuously".
"The Soviet, and now Russian, comrades should realise the balance of forces. They should also understand what they are getting themselves into when they threaten us," the Polish minister said.
He pointed out that Russia does indeed have an advantage in nuclear weapons, but the Russia-Ukraine war has shown that this advantage is difficult to use.
Quote: "But, as it [Russia – ed.] has seen from the example of Ukraine, this advantage is difficult to use. If Russia could resolve this war through nuclear blackmail, it would have already done so."
Background:
• Sikorski previously said that Poland plans to prepare increasingly better for provocations from Russia.
• A few days ago, Patrushev claimed that if Warsaw launched military action against Russia, the Polish state would "cease to exist within two or three days".
• Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that if Europe attacked Russia, it would be "a completely different war, and a very short one".

«Где-то везение, где-то опыт»: Владислав Польский про спасенных раненых на Харьковщине
Командир штурмовой роты 475-го полка CODE 9.2 Владислав Польский отправился за ранеными один, осознавая огромный риск. Дорогу он не знал, вокруг все заминировано, а в небе кружили десятки вражеских дронов.«Поэтому был шанс, что 90% могло ничего не получиться. Я думаю, что правильно подобранное время и, возможно, эксцентричное решение сделали свое дело. Где-то везение, где-то опыт», – рассказал Владислав.
За эвакуацию побратимов под вражеским огнем Владиславу Польскому присвоили звание Героя Украины.

Ukrainian foreign minister: Putin seeks to trigger migration to Europe by causing food crisis
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has said Kremlin ruler Vladimir Putin's plan is to provoke a new wave of migration to Europe through a food crisis caused by the blockade of Ukrainian exports via the Black Sea.
Source: Sybiha on X (Twitter), as reported by European Pravda
Details: Sybiha said Russian terrorism also threatens countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
He added that Moscow plans to destabilise Europe through similar actions.
Quote: "Putin is betting that hunger and food shortages can cause an influx of migrants. That is precisely what he aims for, particularly ahead of elections in EU member states next year. Putin knows that migration is one of the most sensitive and divisive issues in European election campaigns – especially after seeing how effectively Russian-linked networks exploited the recent Ceuta crisis."
Details: Sybiha believes that Putin will use all available methods to increase migration to Europe, with the blockade of the Black Sea being just one of them. Another is the Lukashenko regime in Belarus, he added.
Quote: "Moscow believes its strategy will create tension, sow division, strengthen radical anti-European movements, and ultimately weaken Europe's support for Ukraine. That is why supporting Ukraine's agricultural exports and unblocking freedom of navigation in the Black Sea are of strategic and existential value for the European Union, as well as the wider international community."
Details: In this context, the minister said urgent measures are needed to ensure uninterrupted commercial shipping from Ukrainian seaports, develop all possible alternative routes and mechanisms for transporting cargo through the EU, and provide maximum support to Ukrainian farmers.
"Another critical priority is to develop and jointly implement a Europe-wide strategy to counter Russia's disinformation, interference, and manipulation campaigns. Ukraine stands ready to contribute its valuable expertise," he concluded.
Background:
• In late July, vessels stopped calling at Ukrainian ports due to the deteriorating security situation. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also warned that Russia would increase pressure on the maritime corridor. • In early August, Ukraine's Ministry of Agrarian Policy asked the European Commission to consider allocating €220 million in non-repayable support to compensate for interest on loans taken out by Ukrainian small and …

Russia unveils air defence system against Ukrainian long-range drones – photos
Russian defence company Kalashnikov has unveiled for the first time the Zveroboy air defence system, armed with Kraken FPV interceptor drones.
Source: press service for Kalashnikov
Details: Kalashnikov claims that Zveroboy is designed to provide round-the-clock protection of facilities against reconnaissance and strike drones.
Among the targets of the system, Russia specifically lists Ukrainian drones such as Leleka, Liutyi, Bober and Hornet-XR.

Photo: Kalashnikov"The system consists of an automated workstation at the ground control station, an optical targeting system, three launch containers, a digital repeater, a technical compartment with a distribution panel and switching unit, a compass on a telescopic pole, and a radar system," the company said.
The system's primary means of engagement are high-speed, multirotor Kraken FPV drones with a specialised warhead. Each of the three launch containers holds three interceptors, giving the system a total of nine such drones.
The Kraken drones can be used during the day and at night. The night-time Kraken-N version is additionally equipped with a thermal imaging camera.

Photo: KalashnikovZveroboy is offered in two versions: stationary and mobile. The latter is mounted on the chassis of a mass-produced pickup truck, which is intended to simplify the system's relocation and concealment.
Kalashnikov also claims that Zveroboy can be integrated with existing surveillance and perimeter security systems.
Russia has not disclosed the system's detection and engagement range, the speed of the Kraken interceptor drones, the mass of their warheads or other key specifications.
Background:
• It was previously reported that Russia had developed the Met interceptor drone, designed to counter drones at short ranges.
• In June, Russian holding company Shvabe unveiled a system for guiding interceptor drones towards strike UAVs. The system, whose name has not been disclosed, consists of a ground-based electro-optical station, interceptor drones and an operator workstation.
