Need more money, more vehicles, more attention: Zelensky’s Ramstein speech amid Donbas pressure
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Germany to take part in a meeting at Ramstein Air Base. Zelensky is expected to push for more long-range missiles and increased air defence.
The authorities would not be able to pay servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) money for participation in combat operations until 20 September, the head of the Verkhovna Rada (parliament) budget committee, Roksolana Pidlasa, stated.
On Friday, 6 September, Zelensky called on allies to help with air defences and to lift restrictions prohibiting Kyiv from using donated weapons for long-range strikes against Russia.
Let’s make sure that this autumn becomes the time when the conflict ends.
The president also said that Ukraine had already started using the transferred F-16 fighter jets, but they were still insufficient. Ukrainian media recently confirmed the crash of one fighter jet, after which Zelensky fired Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk.
Additional aid
Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin announced at the start of talks at a Ukraine Defence Contact Group meeting on Friday that the US would provide $250 million in aid to Kyiv.
I’m pleased to say that President Biden will announce today an additional $250 million security assistance package for Ukraine. It will surge more capabilities to meet Ukraine’s evolving requirements and will deliver them at the speed of war. (…) Time is of the essence, especially with winter on its way, and we must all step up our support and quickly.
German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said that Germany, together with Denmark and the Netherlands, would transfer 77 Leopard 1A5 tanks to Kyiv as military aid. He stressed that Berlin had already delivered 58 tanks of such type as part of a joint project with Denmark.
Germany announced that it would deliver twelve more Panzerhaubitze self-propelled artillery units at a cost of 150 million euros. Pistorius specified that six artillery pieces would be delivered this year to Ramstein Air Base, with the other six to be sent next year.
Frontline situation
Occasional military operations continued in the Kursk region since the AFU launched its incursion on 6 August. According to Ukrainian media, the command is deploying armoured vehicles less often and sending assault units more frequently.
Russian media report that Ukrainian forces have managed to take a minor fortification point in the Kharkiv section. However, in the Donetsk region, Russian forces have taken control of Kalinina west of Bakhmut. This worsens the situation for the AFU in the Chasiv Yar area, military experts say.
Sources note an operational pause near Pokrovsk, giving both parties to the conflict an opportunity to pull up reserves, consolidate, and plan further steps. Russian troops have also seized the Selydove Machine-Building Plant, but have not yet entered the town of Selydove itself.
Previously, global media called the Kursk incursion by the AFU a risky gamble.

You just know the NYT has a “style guide” for this sort of thing.
Maybe someone there should get fed up and leak it.

"Businesses like to talk about the concept of a closed loop or circular economy, but often they’re trying to close small loops. Releaf Paper takes dead leaves from city trees and turns them into paper for bags, office supplies, and more—which is to say they are striving to close one heck of a big loop.
How big? Six billion trees are cut down every year for paper products according to the WWF, producing everything from toilet paper to Amazon boxes to the latest best-selling novels. Meanwhile, the average city produces 8,000 metric tons of leaves every year which clog gutters and sewers, and have to be collected, composted, burned, or dumped in landfills.
In other words, huge supply and huge demand, but Releaf Paper is making cracking progress. They already produce 3 million paper carrier bags per year from 5,000 metric tons of leaves from their headquarters in Paris.
Joining forces with landscapers in sites across Europe, thousands of tonnes of leaves arrive at their facility where a low-water, zero-sulfur/chlorine production process sees the company create paper with much smaller water and carbon footprints...
“In a city, it’s a green waste that should be collected. Really, it’s a good solution because we are keeping the balance—we get fiber for making paper and return lignin as a semi-fertilizer for the cities to fertilize the gardens or the trees. So it’s like a win-win model,” [Valentyn] Frechka, co-founder and CTO of Releaf Paper, told Euronews.
Releaf is already selling products to LVMH, BNP Paribas, Logitech, Samsung, and various other big companies. In the coming years, Frechka and Sobolenka also plan to further increase their production capacity by opening more plants in other countries. If the process is cost-efficient, there’s no reason there shouldn’t be a paper mill of this kind in every city.
“We want to expand this idea all around the world. At the end, our vision is that the technology of making paper from fallen leaves should be accessible on all continents,” Sobolenka notes, according to ZME Science."

i can’t say this simpler.
get out, vote for kamala, and then get out and protest for palestine like your life depends on it.
but if trump gets in, your life WILL depend on it. with kamala at least you are safe to continue trying to save others. with trump that isn’t an option.

Russia demonstrates power of its ballistics, Ukrainian ministers resign en masse
Russia launched a missile strike on the city of Poltava, exposing a split among Ukrainian commanders, with ministers starting to resign en masse after doubting their administration.
On Tuesday, 3 September, Russian forces launched a missile strike on the 179 Joint Training Centre of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in Poltava. Ukrainian media reported that communications and electronic warfare specialists were being trained there under the guidance of foreign instructors. UAV operators also received training there.
At least 50 people were reportedly killed and 271 injured in the strike by two ballistic missiles, the deadliest attack this year. In addition to the AFU soldiers, several foreign instructors from Sweden also died.
According to media reports, Russia also attacked Ukraine’s defence industrial complexes in Lviv, where specialists were working on repairing electronic components for the AFU’s aircraft and missiles. The strike was carried out with hypersonic Kinzhal systems and drones.
While Ukrainian troops stalled in Russia’s Kursk region in hopes of dispersing the Russian army, groups of Russian troops reported advancing in the Donetsk region. Russian and Ukrainian media reported heavy casualties among AFU soldiers.
Psychological damage
In addition to losses among the Ukrainian military, the strike on Poltava caused a psychological effect. For a long time, Ukraine believed that major cities were reliably protected by hundreds of Patriot defence systems. However, after the strikes on Lviv and Poltava, it became harder for Ukrainian authorities to maintain the view of impregnable cities far from the front line.
Russia also struck an Artem plant in Kyiv on Sunday, raising doubts about the capital’s security.
Later, Russian media reported a strike near the village of Bezdryk, the Sumy region. The intelligence reportedly detected an accumulation of equipment and Ukrainian soldiers. As a result, Russia launched a strike, destroying military equipment and about 70 people, which was also confirmed by Ukrainian sources.
Ministers leave office
Strikes on formerly well-defended Ukrainian cities exposed ineffective staff policies as Ukrainian ministers announced the dismissal from the administration of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The string of resignations began with the Former Commander of the Air Force of Ukraine, Mykola Oleshchuk, fired by Zelensky after the crash of an F-16 fighter jet. However, the president stated that the Lieutenant General’s dismissal had nothing to do with the incident.
On Wednesday, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba submitted a resignation letter, according to chairman of the Verkhovna Rada (parliament), Ruslan Stefanchuk. Kuleba had served as Ukraine’s foreign minister since March 2020.
Justice Minister Denys Maliuska, Minister for Strategic Industries Oleksandr Kamyshin, and Minister for Environmental Protection and Natural Resources Ruslan Strilets also submitted their resignations. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Reintegration Iryna Vereshchuk and Deputy Prime Minister for NATO and EU Integration Olha Stefanishyna also announced their resignations.
Prior to them, the head of Ukrenergo, Volodymyr Komarnytsky, announced his dismissal. Verkhovna Rada MP Yaroslav Zhelezniak accused Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko and the deputy head of the Ukrainian president’s office, Rostyslav Shurma, of “an animated desire to sit on all corruption streams,” according to Ukrainian media.
The head of the state property fund, Vitaliy Koval, also left his post. The speaker of the Verkhovna Rada announced that all resignation requests would be considered at the next parliamentary session.
The string of dismissals amid the protracted incursion into the Kursk region and missile strikes on major Ukrainian cities has become a wake-up call for Zelensky’s administration. Meanwhile, the ongoing Russia’s airstrikes demonstrate its resolute intentions.
However, Ukrainian media reported that JASSMs (the AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles), which are compatible with F-16s and capable of reaching Russian territory, could be part of another military aid package coming this autumn. Russian officials warned that the use of such weapons could become a “red line,” forcing the Russian leadership to take more decisive steps.
