Kyiv now has the capacity to produce drones by the million, but on the front lines the model remains a killer startup.<\/p>\n Sam Kiley joins the Ukrainian infantry near Zaporizhzhia:<\/p>\n Arpan Rai27 October 2025 04:49<\/p>\n <\/a>Drone hits minibus in Russia’s Bryansk killing driver and injuring five<\/p>\n A Ukrainian drone hit a minibus in the Bryansk region, killing the driver and injuring five people, the governor of the southwestern Russian region bordering Ukraine said this morning.<\/p>\n All those injured were taken to a local hospital, the governor, Alexander Bogomaz, said on his Telegram channel.<\/p>\n Arpan Rai27 October 2025 04:28<\/p>\n <\/a>State Department thought Putin had no interest in ending Ukraine war<\/p>\n Ahead of a controversial August summit<\/a> in Alaska between Trump and Putin, the State Department\u2019s internal intelligence agency took a more dim view of the question than other sectors of the administration, warning the president of Putin\u2019s reluctance to end the conflict in assessments and presidential briefings, The Wall Street Journal reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe kept standing firm,\u201d John Williams, who resigned earlier this year from his post as director of the State Department<\/a>\u2019s Russia-Eurasia analysis in the intelligence bureau, told the paper. \u201cWe didn\u2019t see that [Putin] had incentive to negotiate an end to the war.\u201d<\/p>\n Arpan Rai27 October 2025 04:19<\/p>\n <\/a>Ukraine ready to fight for another two to three years, says Tusk<\/p>\n Polish prime minister Donald Tusk has said that Ukraine is concerned about the toll the war could take on its population and economy if it were to stretch on for longer than a few more years.<\/p>\n \u201cI have no doubts Ukraine will survive as an independent state,\u201d Tusk told the Sunday Times. \u201cNow the main question is how many victims we will see. President Zelensky told me [on Thursday] that he hopes that the war will not last ten years, but that Ukraine is ready to fight for another two, three years.\u201d<\/p>\n Arpan Rai27 October 2025 04:08<\/p>\n <\/a>Russia says it has downed 34 Ukrainian drones targeting Moscow<\/p>\n Russian air defence systems destroyed 34 Ukrainian drones that targeted Moscow through repeated attacks overnight and forced a temporary closure of two of the city’s four airports, Russian authorities said this morning.<\/p>\n The drones were downed within a span of six hours, starting at just before 10pm on Sunday Moscow time (1900 GMT), the mayor of the Russian capital, Sergei Sobyanin said.<\/p>\n Russian aviation watchdog Rosaviatsiya said the Domodedovo airport and the smaller Zhukovsky airport were shut for about two and a half hours from 2240 GMT to ensure air safety.<\/p>\n In the Tula region, which borders the Moscow region to the north, 24 drones were destroyed in the early hours today, regional governor Dmitry Miliyaev said on Telegram.<\/p>\n Arpan Rai27 October 2025 04:00<\/p>\n <\/a>Kremlin still open to Trump-Putin summit: ‘It’s complicated’<\/p>\n Russia has suggested it is still open to a leaders’ summit between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, which the US president appeared to give up on last week.<\/p>\n “Presidents cannot meet for the sake of meeting, they cannot just waste their time, and they are open about that. That’s why they instructed (Russian foreign minister Sergei) Lavrov and (US secretary of state Marco) Rubio to prepare this process. The process is complicated,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told state TV Kremlin correspondent Pavel Zarubin.<\/p>\n Peskov also commented on sanctions imposed by the US on Russian oil giants Lukoil and Rosneft, calling them “an unfriendly step”, but said that Russia seeks to build friendly relations with all countries, including the US.<\/p>\n \u201cDespite the various nuances voiced by the president of the United States, we must still be oriented towards our interests. Our interests are to build good relations with all countries, including the United States,” said Peskov, a close ally of the Russian president.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, the actions that were taken this week were an unfriendly step. They have indeed damaged the prospects for resuscitating our relations. But that does not mean that we should abandon these aspirations. We should do what is favourable to us,” Peskov said.<\/p>\n Arpan Rai27 October 2025 03:29<\/p>\n <\/a>Three killed as Russia targets Kyiv with drones<\/p>\n At least three people were killed after Russia targeted Ukraine’s capital with drones, officials said.<\/p>\n At least 29 people were wounded, seven of them children, in the second consecutive nighttime attack on Kyiv to claim civilian lives.<\/p>\n Ukraine’s interior minister Ihor Klymenko said a 19-year-old woman and her 46-year-old mother were among the killed.<\/p>\n Russian drones caused fires in two residential buildings in the capital’s Desnianskyi district.
