An Israeli occupation court has extended the detention of Press TV correspondent Naqaa Hamed until September 23, 2026, continuing the regime’s systematic campaign to silence independent journalism in the occupied West Bank.
Hamed, 38, was abducted on September 14 by occupation forces at a checkpoint near Tuqu’ in Bethlehem.
Separated from her camera crew, she was transferred to an undisclosed facility and subjected to harsh interrogation regarding her journalistic work. She remains in custody without formal charges.
A Palestinian-American citizen and mother of three, Hamed has over 15 years of experience covering political and humanitarian crises. … Full article

Israeli authorities on Thursday reduced the number of patients and wounded Palestinians allowed to leave the Gaza Strip for medical treatment in Egypt from 136 to 61 patients and companions, Gaza’s Health Ministry said, Anadolu reports.
In a statement, the ministry said “a group of 136 patients and their companions had received official approval to travel before Israeli authorities reduced the number to 72 patients and companions and sent the remaining cases back.”
Despite the ministry’s objection to the measure and the start of transporting patients, the Israeli side requested that an additional 11 patients and companions be returned, bringing the final number allowed to leave to 61.
The ministry stressed that the patients and wounded Palestinians included in the group require “urgent specialized medical care” in Egypt. … Full article

Five bodies and 28 injured people arrived at hospitals across the enclave over the past 24 hours as a result of ongoing Israeli aggression, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Wednesday.
The ministry said three of the dead were newly killed, while two died of their wounds. Since the announcement of a ceasefire on October 11, 2025, the ministry said the toll has reached 1,386 dead and 4,784 injured, in addition to the recovery of 831 bodies from under the rubble.

The Christian population in Jerusalem and Palestine is on the verge of extinction, as the government continues to push a racist and extremist approach towards the religious minority, Jerusalem activist Osama Barham told Sputnik.
“A war to deprive Christians of their livelihoods is being waged against them: there was an attempt to impose taxes on the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, sparking protests in Resurrection Square that were Islamic-Christian in the fullest sense,” Barham added.
He stressed that Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir “blesses attacks on churches,” saying that when settlers spit at monasteries and churches, the government and the far right “bless it and say that it is one of the rituals of the Jewish religion.”
Barham emphasized that “no one in the Israeli government condemned the recent attack on a Christian woman wearing religious attire, while the assailant was released a few days later on the grounds of mental illness.”
He compared the incident to the 1969 arson attack on the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the numerous killings in which the perpetrator is always declared “mentally unstable.”

Laws that bind other nations do not apply to Israel, says Likud lawmaker Hanoch Milwidsky, claiming that the Jewish people’s divine calling exempts them from constraints imposed on others.
“We are not like everyone else, and that is why all the laws that apply to everyone else do not apply to us,” said Milwidsky.
His comments advocating Jewish supremacy were captured on video and have been shared on social media.
Milwidsky presents Jewish supremacy as a justification for exemption from laws that bind other nations, claiming that the Jewish people’s God-given status places them above rules binding others. He urges allegiance to religious authority while dismissing the views of international diplomats and leaders.
“The Jewish people are born a high people”, Milwidsjy went on to say. “Because they have a duty to create here a land of miracles and virtue.” … continue

Saudi Arabia’s decade-long strategy of using military force, financial resources, and sustained pressure to contain the Yemeni Armed Forces or force them into a settlement on Riyadh’s terms is facing its most serious test since the kingdom meddled in Yemen in 2015, according to an analysis by Middle East and Africa writer Elfadil Ibrahim published by Responsible Statecraft.
After taking control of strategically important areas along Yemen’s western Red Sea coast, the Yemeni Armed Forces are advancing toward Marib, the last major stronghold of the Saudi-backed government forces and the location of some of the country’s key oil and gas infrastructure.
For the Saudi-backed government, the loss of the Red Sea coast was a major setback, but the fall of Marib would be far more consequential. It would deprive it of its last significant population and revenue center in northern Yemen while cutting off its remaining foothold close to the capital, as per the analysis.
In Ibrahim’s view, control of Marib would also give the YAF a route toward Shabwa and Hadhramawt, two energy-producing provinces in eastern Yemen. A share of the oil and gas wealth generated in those areas is among the YAF’s core demands, he added. […]
Yemen’s YAF sets terms as Saudi Arabia’s strategy falters
If military pressure … failed to weaken the YAF, negotiations appear to be the only viable short-term alternative, as per the analysis.
The movement has already publicly outlined its demands. In March, Ansar Allah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi put the compensation sought for oil-sector losses attributed to the Saudi-led aggression at more than $57 billion.
The demand comes in addition to calls to lift the brutal Saudi blockade on its airports and seaports and to secure a share of Yemen’s oil and gas revenues, the same resources the YAF are now positioning themselves to take control of militarily, as per the analysis.
For Riyadh, the path forward remains fraught with difficult choices. Even an agreement reached at such a high financial cost and under such challenging conditions would not erase the leverage the YAF have built, the analysis noted. – Full article

Saudi Arabia is reportedly facing depleted reserves of missile interceptor systems and has appealed to regional partners and Western allies for assistance as Yemeni Armed Forces continue retaliatory missile and drone operations against strategic sites deep inside the kingdom.
The Associated Press, citing two regional officials speaking on condition of anonymity, reported on Wednesday that Saudi authorities have appealed to France, the United Kingdom, Pakistan, and Egypt to establish air-defense reinforcements in the region to bolster protection against missile and drone operations conducted by Yemeni Armed Forces.
The Yemeni operations are being carried out in retaliation for ongoing airstrikes and the blockade against their Arab Peninsula nation.
The outreach effort commenced due to the fact that Saudi Arabia’s principal ally and primary arms supplier, the United States, has faced a significant reduction in its interceptor inventory over the course of a six-month war of aggression on Iran, according to one official. … continue

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force has downed the 53rd US MQ-9 drone since the beginning of the US-Israeli aggression against Iran, the latest in a series of American unmanned aircraft destroyed by the country’s armed forces during the war.
The IRGC Aerospace Force intercepted and destroyed the unmanned aircraft at 10:12 a.m. local time on Thursday over Qeshm Island, using a new advanced air-defense system under the control of Iran’s integrated air-defense network.
The MQ-9 is the 53rd US drone to have been destroyed by Iranian forces. The total number of enemy drones destroyed by Iran’s armed forces since the beginning of the war has reached several hundred, according to the IRGC.

BEIJING – China’s cooperation with other countries should not be subject to interference by third parties, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Thursday, commenting on the US bill on sanctions against Russia.
“China has always pursued normal trade and economic cooperation with countries around the world on the basis of equality and mutual benefit,” Guo Jiakun told reporters, adding that “this cooperation is not directed against third parties and does not tolerate interference or coercion by third parties.”
Earlier in the day, the US House of Representatives secured the required number of votes to approve the Senate version of the bill spearheaded by the late Sen.

A publicly owned hospital in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia has fired a pediatric surgeon without notice after she ran unsuccessfully for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in a neighboring state’s local elections.
Dr. Svetlana Spirina, a senior physician in pediatric surgery at Klinikum Lippe in Detmold, appeared on the AfD ticket for Osnabrück’s city council in Lower Saxony’s Sept. 13 vote. While she did not win a seat, the hospital, owned solely by the Lippe district, then dismissed her immediately, the clinic confirmed.
Detmold and Osnabrück are about 85 kilometers (53 miles) apart.
Hospital spokeswoman Mandy Lange declined to discuss the case, according to local German news outlet NOZ. […]

German Chancellor and CDU leader Friedrich Merz is once again advocating for an end to online anonymity.
Merz spoke at the Chancellery in Berlin on Tuesday, where he received the winners of the 61st federal “Jugend forscht” youth research competition, and took their questions. The event was streamed live by the government.
One of the participants asked Merz about introducing a real-name requirement on the internet, and how it could be reconciled with the work of informants, investigative journalism, and the need to sometimes be able to communicate anonymously.
Merz’s answer did not address the question of journalism at all. Instead, he spoke about the difficulties in establishing who is behind an online message, and who to hold responsible, as well as the proliferation of messages generated by bots.
“Please, nobody come to me with free speech. This has nothing more to do with free speech,” Merz said. Free speech, he continued, is “at best” a libertarian understanding of politics out of parts of the US, “that I personally do not share.”
A liberal society, he went on, must be able to protect its citizens “from false information, from personal denigration, from discrimination.” […]
… while Merz spoke about the need to protect “our democracy” from false information, he did not say who decides what is false. But he has personally filed hundreds of criminal complaints over the years, while his party and others refer thousands of social media posts to the prosecutors each year. And the police carry out hundreds of raids over insults and alleged hate speech.
In other words, the machinery is in place, and all that is needed is to make it easy to identify who is to be targeted. – Full article

French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez is under fire over allegations that he helped fuel a false drug story about MEP and prominent pro-Palestine activist Rima Hassan while she was in custody over a social media post.
Hassan’s left-wing La France Insoumise (LFI), or France Unbowed party, has demanded that Nunez resign after a France 2 investigation released Wednesday alleged he leaked a false story to reporters about drugs purportedly found in Hassan’s belongings by police.
The drug was later identified as legal CBD (cannabidiol) and the probe was dropped, prompting LFI to accuse Nunez of media “manipulation” and fueling a false story.
What exactly happened?
The case dates back to April, when Hassan was summoned to Paris police headquarters over a since-deleted social media post quoting Kozo Okamoto. Okamoto, a member of the Japanese Red Army, was convicted over the 1972 Lod Airport attack in Tel Aviv, carried out on behalf of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which killed 26 people.
The French-Palestinian MEP and prominent pro-Palestinian activist was placed in custody on suspicion of online “apology for terrorism,” an offense punishable by up to seven years in prison. […]
In 2014, France moved the offense of “apology for terrorism” (apologie du terrorisme) from its press law into the Penal Code, giving prosecutors greater scope to pursue individuals accused of defending or praising terrorist acts. Under this legal framework, French authorities have pursued a range of high-profile figures over controversial speech, including right-wing commentator Eric Zemmour, prominent Islamologist Francois Burgat, and pro-Palestinian activist Mahdieh Esfandiari.
LFI argues those powers are being disproportionately used against opposition politicians and pro-Palestinian activists. Its National Assembly leader, Mathilde Panot, said in April that under Macron, “the criminalization of political opponents has reached a new level.”
Hassan’s trial for alleged “apology for terrorism,” initially scheduled for July, was postponed at her defense’s request and is now due in October. … Full article

The two congressmen, a Democrat and a Republican, made the announcement on September 10, 2026, and their proposed legislation, the Sunset Section 230 Act, would achieve the repeal two years after its enactment.
The bill is brief, just six pages long, and simply states that Section 230 is “repealed” – without proposing any new, replacement framework of liability that online services would have to deal with. … Full article

Over 130 legal experts, including lawyers, former judges, and legal academics, told UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham in an open letter on 15 September that London’s newly unveiled sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements “fall far short” of what the UK is legally bound to do under international law.
“We ask it to commit to further and more rigorous measures to ensure that no part of the UK’s economic relationship with Israel continues to sustain the illegal occupation itself, and the settlements and other serious violations of fundamental rules of international law perpetrated through its conduct, and to build on this to adopt robust coercive measures to seek to bring all these serious violations of international law, and the practices they sustain, including, fundamentally, the occupation itself, to an end,” the letter read.
The signatories are pressing for a full arms embargo on Israel, citing Article 6(3) of the Arms Trade Treaty, which bars weapons transfers where a state is aware of crimes such as the ethnic cleansing that UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband himself said Israel is committing in the occupied West Bank.
The letter further seeks to extend the sanctions to insurance, accountancy, and digital infrastructure, along with an official statement that no UK public body, pension scheme, or sovereign fund is invested in the settlements. … Full article

The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced a series of new operations against Saudi Arabia on 16 September, including the downing of a US-made Saudi fighter jet that was attacking Yemen, as well as new strikes on military and energy infrastructure.
The YAF said on Monday on its official media page that its soldiers “succeeded in shooting down a Saudi F-15 fighter aircraft while it was carrying out hostile activities in support of Saudi military mobilizations in the skies over Marib governorate.”
The operation was carried out “using a locally manufactured surface-to-air missile.” Footage of the downing and aftermath of the jet’s crash was released by the YAF.
It is a two-seated F-15SA worth $100 million. The fate of the pilot and copilot remains unknown.
The YAF also slammed Saudi claims of a Yemeni attack on Mecca.
“The fabrications and lies promoted by the criminal House of Saud regime, regarding an alleged attack on Mecca, cannot deceive anyone. They are the ones who desecrate it through immorality and debauchery.”
“Our operations target its oil facilities and military bases, which are entirely far removed from the holy sites,” the Yemeni army went on to say.
Saudi Arabia had claimed Ansarallah-led YAF forces carried out an attempted drone attack in the holy city.
The YAF also announced new strikes on Saudi military and energy infrastructure on Wednesday. It said it targeted “Aramco in Yanbu with dozens of ballistic missiles and drones,” adding that “strikes were precise and direct, by the grace of God, and caused major fires and extensive destruction.”
The YAF also said it “targeted Khamis Mushait Air Base with a number of ballistic missiles, achieving a precise hit.”

The US military has fired up to 70 Patriot interceptor missiles and over a dozen THAAD interceptors and failed to repel a single Iranian strike targeting US facilities in Jordan last week, The Wall Street Journal newspaper has reported, citing sources.
A source said that the expenditure was comparable to what Washington had used over an entire week at other war periods. Iranian military has adapted their attacks by using warheads that separate into multiple projectiles as they get closer to the target, making them difficult to intercept, an official added.
As a result, the strike damaged US fighter jets and other aircraft at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, the report said on Tuesday.

North Korean state media published an article slamming the US for encouraging South Korea and Japan to acquire nuclear-powered submarines. The author argued the move justified North Korea building up its nuclear deterrent.

AUKUS is a trilateral pact between the US, the UK, and Australia. Under the deal, the US and UK agreed to help Australia build a fleet of nuclear submarines.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called for the creation of a European Security Council and a bloc-wide emergency security protocol in her State of the European Union address to the European Parliament in Strasbourg on 16 September, arguing that the EU’s security structures have fallen behind the threats now facing Europe.
“I believe it is time for Europe’s own Article 4, an emergency security protocol,” von der Leyen said, a reference to the NATO provision that allows alliance members to consult one another when any of them senses a security threat.
Explaining how the mechanism would work, she said, “When triggered by one member state, all member states would convene to coordinate a European response, to deter further escalation and to mitigate the impact.”
Von der Leyen said she would present plans to bring the council into being, as a forum where EU leaders would meet with partners including Canada, Ukraine, the UK, and Norway on European security.
She said the “nature and scale” of the dangers facing the continent made the initiative more pressing.
She also called for an agreed approach to attacks such as sabotage attempts, which stop short of armed aggression but still endanger national security. “Europe needs its own counter-hybrid playbook,” she told lawmakers. … Full article

The former leader of the NATO-backed Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) has been found responsible for war crimes committed by the militant group during its NATO-backed campaign to break away from Serbia in the 1990s.
Hasam Thaci, who served as the first president of the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo, has been found guilty of the murder of 96 political opponents and suspected Serbian collaborators, the verdict said. He was also convicted for the unlawful detention and torture of hundreds of people.
The 58-year-old Thaci and three other former KLA leaders tried in The Hague are widely regarded as heroes in Kosovo. Thaci’s defense argued that senior figures in the KLA could not control rank-and-file separatist fighters and thus could not be held responsible for crimes committed under their leadership. Lawyers described the group as lacking a strict military hierarchy during the 1998-99 conflict.
NATO’s bombing campaign targeting Serbia, which Washington and its European allies framed as a humanitarian intervention, ensured KLA’s victory. … continue

Cybersecurity breaches involving AI models developed by Anthropic, OpenAI and Meta were a result of flawed testing environments managed by Israel-based contractor Irregular, rather than rogue autonomous behavior, US publication Effort reported on 14 September.
The investigation found that the contractor left internet connections active during simulated cybersecurity exercises, allowing the AI models to access external servers and publish malicious packages, exploiting “vulnerabilities,” according to the report.
“Irregular was responsible for creating the tests that led to Claude hacking into real-world targets and for providing the models with internet access,” Effort added.
Some model instances were consequently able to scan external networks for up to 34 hours.
“In a more normal media ecosystem, the reactions to these cybersecurity issues would be obvious. American AI companies would reconsider doing business with Irregular, not only because of its failure to secure its systems, but because it is an Israeli firm potentially outside US oversight,” the investigation goes on to say. … Full article

Israeli forces have abducted Press TV correspondent Naqqa Hamed at a military checkpoint near Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.
Hamed was traveling with a camera crew when Israeli forces stopped them at a checkpoint near the town of Tuqu, southeast of Bethlehem. The crew was searched, after which the forces abducted Hamed and released the cameramen, one of her colleagues told Press TV.
The abduction comes as the Palestinian journalist had been subjected to attacks and a smear campaign by Zionist accounts for the past month. … Full article

NABLUS – A Palestinian man and his wife were wounded by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in Jenin on Tuesday evening, while Jewish settlers attacked the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah, setting Palestinian property on fire.
The IOF troops also raided the village of Abu Falah and tightened military restrictions on roads across the West Bank.
Local sources said the IOF raided Nazareth Street in Jenin, set up a temporary checkpoint and detained several Palestinians, including women, before subjecting them to abuse.
The IOF opened live fire at a vehicle in the area, wounding Iyad Massad and his wife, both residents of the village of Al-Jalama, according to the same sources. … Full article

Israeli occupation forces killed 54-year-old Palestinian Ziad Mohammad Jaber during a predawn invasion of Al-Bireh, east of Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank, on Tuesday.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said Jaber died from severe gunshot wounds sustained during the invasion of his home in Umm al-Sharayet. His brother said Israeli special forces entered Jaber’s home and opened fire with live ammunition.
The Israeli military told The Times of Israel that Jaber reportedly tried to seize a soldier’s weapon during what it described as operational activity and was then shot.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said its crews treated Jaber for gunshot wounds to the abdomen and thigh, performed emergency resuscitation at the scene, and transported him to a hospital. The Health Ministry later confirmed his death.
Jaber’s brother said soldiers arrived at Jaber’s home at about 4 a.m. and entered after detonating the main door. … Full article

Four Palestinians were killed and several others injured in separate Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, in the latest violations of an ongoing ceasefire agreement, medics said, Anadolu reports.
A medical source told Anadolu that two Palestinians were killed in a double Israeli strike on the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in northwestern Gaza City. Several other people, including a child, were injured in the attack.
Eyewitnesses said an Israeli drone struck a gathering of civilians in Sheikh Radwan, before carrying out a second strike targeting civilians who had rushed to rescue those wounded in the first attack.
Another medical source said that a 65-year-old man was killed by Israeli gunfire targeting a camp sheltering displaced people east of Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.
Another Palestinian was killed, and two others were injured, one seriously, in an Israeli drone strike targeting passersby in Sheikh Ajleen, southwest of Gaza City.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society also said its teams transferred nine injured people to its Al-Saraya Field Hospital after an Israeli strike targeted Al-Sinaa Street in Gaza City.
According to witnesses, Israeli military vehicles stationed behind the so-called “yellow line” also opened heavy fire toward areas east of Deir al-Balah and Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, as well as east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.
Israeli shelling was also reported off the coast of Gaza City and Khan Younis. … Full article

The Trump administration is preparing a $2.8-billion package to provide the Israeli regime with 40,000 2,000-pound bombs, a report says.
The package includes 20,000 MK-84s, 20,000 BLU-117s, and 20,000 I-2000 penetrator warheads, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday, citing a US official.
Although described as a sale, it would be financed through the US Foreign Military Financing program, under which Washington provides the funds the regime uses to purchase American weapons. … continue

The Saudi regime has asked Britain to carry out military strikes against Yemeni forces after Washington rejected Riyadh’s appeals for direct US action, according to a Bloomberg report, as the Al Saud monarchy struggles to contain the latest advances of Yemen’s Armed Forces along the Red Sea coast.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham has yet to take a final decision on the request, sources familiar with the matter told the outlet on Monday.
Riyadh is seeking operational military support to try to reverse Yemeni gains toward the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and assistance in defending oil infrastructure that has come under legitimate retaliatory fire.
Burnham has so far approved only the dispatch of British military advisers. … Full article

President of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) Bafel Talabani will visit Tehran on Tuesday at the invitation of Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei announced.
Baghaei said the visit will focus on strengthening bilateral relations and consultations over regional peace and stability.
The talks come as Iraqi Kurdistan faces mounting security pressure linked to the activities of armed Iranian Kurdish groups based in the region, amid the wider escalation of the war in West Asia.
Talabani’s visit comes at a sensitive moment for relations between Iran and Iraqi Kurdistan, with Tehran increasingly focused on preventing its territory from being used as a launchpad for armed activity against Iran. … Full article

Amazon Web Services (AWS) says it cannot restore access to its cloud-computing facility in Bahrain or one of three data-hosting zones in the UAE due to the extensive damage caused by Iranian retaliatory strikes, Reuters reported on 15 September.
“The damage to our infrastructure spanned multiple Availability Zones and exceeded what our regional and multi-AZ services are designed to withstand,” AWS reported in its status update seen by Reuters.
In the UAE, resources and data held exclusively within one zone, labeled mec1-az2, have been damaged beyond hope of recovery, the company said, as engineers are still salvaging what they can from the two other battered zones and across the wider Emirati region. … continue

Iranian armed forces have shot down a third US MQ-1 Predator drone over the Strait of Hormuz within 24 hours despite Washington’s repeated claims of destroying Iran’s air defenses.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps said on Tuesday evening that its Aerospace Force intercepted and destroyed the unmanned aircraft in the skies over the strategic waterway using a new advanced air defense system.
The drone was brought down while under the control of Iran’s integrated air defense network, the IRGC said.
The latest downing came hours after the IRGC announced the interception and destruction of another US MQ-1 over the Strait of Hormuz.
The IRGC Public Relations Department said the aircraft—which is a multi-mission, long-endurance remotely piloted vehicle—was immediately detected and tracked by IRGC air defense systems and targeted with advanced surface-to-air missiles before it could carry out any act of aggression. … Full article
Sputnik – 15.09.2026
WASHINGTON – The United States spent almost $22 billion on munitions during its military campaign against Iran, according to a Lead Inspector General report reviewed by Sputnik on Tuesday.
“The estimate includes $7.4 billion of cumulative obligations (incremental costs) for OEF [Operation Epic Fury], $22.3 billion for expended munitions, and $3.7 billion in equipment losses…,” the report said.
The report added, however, that these figures are estimates, as the operation’s budget was not approved by Congress, complicating the compilation of detailed reports.
The New York Times reported in June that during the conflict with Iran, the US has nearly exhausted its stockpiles of stealth cruise missiles, fired a decade’s worth of typical peacetime procurement of Tomahawk missiles, and consumed two years’ worth of total US production capacity for Patriot missiles.

Iran’s mission to the United Nations in Vienna says the Islamic Republic has been elected to the General Committee of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) General Conference, despite US efforts to prevent the election.
In a post on its X account on Tuesday, the Iranian mission said IAEA member states had voted in favor of Iran’s membership, describing the outcome as a rejection of attempts to use unilateral pressure to influence the agency’s collective decisions.
“Despite US efforts to obstruct Iran’s participation in the General Committee, IAEA Member States made their choice: they voted in favor of Iran.” … Full article

MOSCOW – Russia wants to end the Ukrainian conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday.
“We want to resolve this conflict and appreciate our friends’ willingness to help in this effort,” Lavrov said at the embassy roundtable on the situation around Ukraine, adding that if the US had not abandoned the Anchorage agreements, we would have been living in peace already for one year.
Russia is always ready for negotiations on Ukraine and has never delayed them or tried to complicate them, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, commenting on the prospects for the imminent convening of a new round of negotiations.
“We are always ready for negotiations. We have never delayed these negotiations or tried to complicate them,” Lavrov said.
If Ukraine is ready to resume negotiations, Russia agrees to them and has something to say, the minister said, adding that Russia has never changed its position on talks on Ukraine. … continue

Throughout the summer, a major scandal has been brewing in Lithuania. In late July, the country suffered a landmark defeat in the European Court of Human Rights in a case brought by Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, a Saudi national held in secret detention and brutally tortured for four years in CIA black sites around the world – including Lithuania. While Western governments and news outlets have ignored the judgement, the ECHR’s conclusions produced bitter political division locally, with the opposition calling for a new investigation into the CIA’s use and abuse of the country during the US-led ‘War on Terror’.
Lithuania’s ruling coalition, in keeping with previous governments, is resistant to any further damaging light being shed on their territory hosting criminal operations of American intelligence for many years in total secret, with perpetrators of horrendous torture insulated from any legal repercussions or professional consequence. Their resistance is understandable. On top of not wanting to offend their colossal US ally, Lithuania’s ruling elites are keen to conceal from the local population, and the world, how their ‘independence’ under Western hegemony comes with unseen strings attached. When those strings entail intimate collusion in grave crimes, it’s Lithuania that suffers the consequences. … continue
How Colombia became the world’s primary reservoir of mercenary manpower
José Niño Unfiltered| September 14, 2026
A few weeks ago Russians with Attitude, posted a blunt prediction after Abelardo de la Espriella won Colombia’s presidency in June.
“It was already bad under Gustavo Petro who didn’t do anything to stop it but at least verbally denounced the outflow of Colombian mercenaries. De la Espriella will likely actively support American-Ukrainian recruitment efforts. There’s already many thousands of them (with around 1,000 confirmed killed). I suspect flooding the Ukrainian army with Third World meat will be the focus of US strategy to solve Kiev’s manpower problems. It’s already the publicly declared Ukrainian strategy.”
Hot take aside, there’s considerable truth behind RWA’s commentary. Colombia now supplies more foreign fighters to Ukraine than any other nation on earth, and it did not arrive at that position overnight. … continue
NATO intelligence services found no evidence whatsoever of Russian involvement in the drone incident at Leipzig Airport and informed their authorities accordingly, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said.
They also pointed to multiple signs of a Ukrainian footprint in the incident.
NATO intelligence therefore recommended that the authorities refrain from accusing Russia, the SVR added.
Ignoring the advisory, the German authorities blamed Russia outright — chiefly to justify the “mega-spending” on Germany’s militarization, the Foreign Intelligence Service said.
On August 5, Leipzig police said an airport employee had discovered a drone carrying an unidentified explosive device in the cargo aviation security zone. German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt blamed Russia without providing any evidence.

Reports of a US-deployed “on-orbit” weapon confirm that the West has already turned outer space into an extension of the Ukraine battlefield, air defense historian Yuri Knutov tells Sputnik.
US and French reconnaissance satellites are already feeding battlefield intel to Ukraine’s military, with Finland about to join in, reminds the military expert, and Poland plans to deploy its own reconnaissance satellites.
Other countries are developing “inspector” spacecraft built to maneuver close to other satellites to spy on them.
Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite communications and broadband systems are used in space – and guide Ukraine’s drones.
It is fair to say that “an arms race in space is already underway,” says the pundit, and the US space weapons claim seeks to accelerate this orbital race further. … continue
RT | September 15, 2026
The US has for the first time acknowledged that it has weapons in space amid ongoing tensions with Russia and China.
US Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink revealed the deployment on Monday during the opening of the Air & Space Forces Association’s 2026 Air, Space & Cyber Conference at National Harbor in Maryland.
“Today, we continue to ensure we remain ready to meet the challenge of evolving threats wherever they exist,” Meink said in a keynote address.
“This is why the Space Force now has on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the joint force against hostile adversary action,” he said, without elaborating. “It’s important from a deterrence perspective,” he added.
During a question-and-answer session, Meink declined to go into detail, stressing that the phrasing of his remarks was “very well thought out.”
“It is critically important that we maintain our dominance, not only in the air but in space,” he said, according to Air & Space Forces Magazine. … continue
Sputnik – 15.09.2026
Statements such as US Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink’s claim that the United States has deployed an “on-orbit” weapon could have far-reaching consequences, Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, told Sputnik.
Announcing that the US has a space weapon in Earth’s orbit could fuel a dangerous arms race in orbit, the arms control expert warned.
In his opinion, that could set off a cycle of action and counteraction, threatening the satellites and other orbital systems that countries worldwide rely on for communications, navigation and other essential services. … continue
