20:43 Blinken said that he had discussed permission to use long-range missiles with the Ukrainian leadership and would now report on the results of the talks to Biden. The US President and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will discuss this issue on Friday, September 13. Blinken also said that the US would send additional air defense systems to Ukraine in the coming weeks. In addition, the US Secretary of State said that NATO countries have made it clear that Ukraine's membership in the Alliance is inevitable and the country is on track to join.
20:02 The United States is providing Ukraine with over $700 million to overcome the consequences of Russian aggression, Blinken said. Of this amount, $325 million is allocated for repairing power grids, $290 million for humanitarian aid, and $102 million for demining.
19:16 Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina announced that the new package of military aid to Ukraine will include armored vehicles and drones, as well as the training and equipment of several thousand more Ukrainian troops.
18:55 220 Iranian Fath-360 ballistic missiles have arrived in Russia from Iran via the Caspian Sea, Sky News writes. In turn, The New York Times reports that Russia recently received new supplies of ballistic missiles from North Korea.
18:48 UK Defence Secretary John Healey said Ukraine will receive hundreds of additional air defence missiles, tens of thousands of additional artillery rounds and armoured vehicles by the end of the year.
18:43 The victory plan will be presented at the Second Peace Summit and should force Russia to end the war diplomatically, Zelensky said: "This plan must be presented at the Second Peace Summit to force Russia to end the war diplomatically. If partners support it, it will help Ukraine force Russia to end the war."
18:39 Ukraine received information about Iran's transfer of ballistic missiles to Russia from intelligence services of partner countries, Zelensky said. He added that he does not know the exact number of missiles, nor does he have information about their use: "I will be able to confirm this when there is evidence. As was the case with North Korea. We know so far about the use of a large number of Iranian drones. As for the use of Iranian missiles, there are no other details yet."
18:35 The SBU has announced suspicion against Russian Lieutenant General Konstantin Stepanishchev, deputy commander of the 6th Combined Arms Army of the Western Military District of the Russian Federation, who planned a "blitzkrieg" to capture Kharkov.
18:32 The British government said it would provide £242 million ($315 million) to Ukraine for urgent humanitarian, energy and stabilisation needs, as well as to support reform, recovery and reconstruction. The funds will be provided over 2024-2025.
London will also provide $484 million in loan guarantees through the World Bank by the end of the year.

This is the second part of a total of $3 billion in loan guarantees that the UK pledged at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in London last year.
18:14 Zelensky said that he knows nothing about Scholz's "peace plan" and doubts that it even exists: "There can be no plans for us without Ukraine. I'm not even sure that such a plan exists."
17:56 Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, after announcing new Western sanctions against the country for supplying Russia with ballistic missiles, said that no deliveries had allegedly taken place: "Once again, the US and EU are acting on faulty intelligence and flawed logic - Iran did not supply ballistic missiles to Russia. Period. Those who support sanctions should ask themselves: how can Iran produce and allegedly sell sophisticated weapons? Sanctions are not a solution, they are part of the problem."
17:39 Zelensky reported that he held a meeting in Kyiv with Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic. The key topics of the conversation were humanitarian demining, post-war reconstruction and restoration of energy facilities. Croatia announced the 11th package of military aid to Ukraine today.

15:36 The Wall Street Journal writes that the West demands a "Plan B" from Ukraine with realistic war goals. According to the newspaper, Ukraine has been told that a complete victory over Russia will require hundreds of billions of dollars that the West cannot provide, so partner countries want to see a convincing plan for 2025 that could be presented to their voters tired of the war so that Kiev would continue to receive weapons and aid. The question of what can be considered a victory and what will be needed to achieve it is one of the main topics of the visit to Kiev by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and British Foreign Secretary David Lemmy, the newspaper writes.
14:58 Latvia has announced a new package of military aid to Ukraine, which will include, in particular, armored personnel carriers, Shmyhal said. Latvia will also support Ukraine with energy equipment, provide solar panels to hospitals, and help restore the Chernihiv region.
14:44 Pokrovsk and several other settlements of the Pokrovsk community of Donetsk region were left without water and gas as a result of constant shelling, the city military administration reported.

14:29 Turkish President Recep Erdogan, in his video address to the participants of the Crimean Platform, said that Crimea should return to Ukraine in accordance with international law. He stressed that the annexation of Crimea, which Turkey opposed from the first day, further aggravated the suffering of the Crimean Tatars, who survived the deportation 80 years ago.
13:37 Kiev would like India to "moderate" possible talks with Moscow, said Ukrainian Ambassador to New Delhi Oleksandr Polischuk. According to him, India should play a more active role in ending the war in Ukraine if it wants to get a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. According to the diplomat, Ukraine has offered India to hold a second Peace Summit by November 2024, but it is not yet clear whether New Delhi will agree.
13:18 Russians shelled Konstantinovka in Donetsk Oblast again - one person was killed and five were wounded, OVA head Vadim Filashkin reported. Thus, today there are already three dead and five wounded in the city.
13:09 According to the World Bank, about $35 billion will be needed to clear the entire territory of Ukraine of mines. Overall, Ukraine loses $11.2 billion annually due to mined territories, according to a study by the Tony Blair Institute, conducted jointly with the Ministry of Economy. Chernihiv, Sumy, Mykolaiv and Kharkiv regions have lost more than 20% of their GDP. Local budgets of these regions are losing more than $1.1 billion in taxes due to mined territories.
12:50 Peskov said that the decision to strike deep into Russian territory with ATACMS missiles has probably already been made, and they are trying to formalize it through the media. Russia's response to strikes deep into its territory "will be appropriate," Peskov added. According to the Kremlin spokesman, the involvement of the United States and European countries in the conflict is direct, and "the SVO itself is a response to possible strikes deep into Russia." Peskov also said that Biden's call to Putin could not put an end to the war, but the end could be put by "the United States' abandonment of the policy of using Ukraine as an expendable material in an attempt to suppress Russia."
12:46 Zelensky took part in the opening ceremony of the national memorial dedicated to the tragedy of the Crimean Tatar people, and expressed confidence that "certainly" a similar memorial will appear in Crimea. "We are confident that Crimea will be free. This is our common goal, and the whole world is together with Ukraine in this fight today... We are not just fighting for the return of Crimea - we are fighting for the restoration of justice, for the opportunity for every Crimean to return home, to their Crimea, free from Russia and fear," the president emphasized.
12:37 The Russian army shelled Konstantinovka in Donetsk Oblast with cannon artillery, killing two people, OVA head Vadim Filashkin reported. Another two people were killed in Gornyak.

The boys poured a flammable substance on the helicopter, lit a cigarette and threw it away, after which the helicopter exploded and burned completely. After this, the schoolchildren fled the scene, but received severe burns, so they sought medical help.

11:54 China will continue to advance its vision of ending the Russian-Ukrainian war and will try to convince most countries in the world to support its proposal for a political settlement, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said at a meeting in St. Petersburg with Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu. "China will continue to work to form a balanced, objective and rational point of view on the Ukrainian issue in the international community in order to achieve international consensus and create the necessary conditions for a rapid end to hostilities," Wang Yi emphasized.
In turn, Shoigu welcomed the “six-point consensus” proposed by China and Brazil and expressed satisfaction with the “broad recognition of this consensus by the international community.”
11:39 Murmansk Region Governor Andrey Chibis announced a UAV attack, which is why two airports were closed - Murmansk and Apatity.

05:57 US Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris criticized her opponent Donald Trump's call to establish friendly ties with Putin during the debate. She said that Trump "would have given up in 24 hours" and "Putin would be sitting in Kiev" and looking further towards Europe. "We need to understand the importance of NATO and what we are doing to support Ukraine. Otherwise, Putin would already be sitting in Kiev thinking about how to attack Poland. You think you are friends with a dictator, but he would eat you for lunch," Harris said.
Trump, in turn, avoided answering the question of whether he wants Ukraine to win: "I want the war to end. I want to save lives because people are dying in the millions. Billions of money are being spent on this war by America. They are not asking Europe for money in this amount." He also once again emphasized that he "knows well" both Zelensky and Putin. "And if I win the election, I will talk to one president, I will talk to the other, and the war will end," Trump assured.
01:14 The White House is "right now" working on lifting US restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range weapons in the war against Russia, Biden said in response to a question from journalists. The Times writes that part of the US administration already supports such a decision.
