“Russia has been fine on Ukraine” Donald Trump said today. 1 y.o. Angelina was killed today by Russian drone in Kharkiv region #Ukraine

There has been no public expression of gratitude from Putin to Trump for all his recent actions in RU favour. Putin is happy,but at any moment he will turn anti-American again,because he is, after all, at war with the West. But what will Trump do after all this disgrace #Ukraine

ilfoglio.itL'intelligence non condivisa dagli Stati Uniti sugli attacchi su Kyiv e i limiti su Starlink al fronteUna fonte del Foglio all'interno dell'Ufficio del presidente ucraino afferma che fino a poco tempo fa erano gli americani ad avvertire gli ucraini dei lanci di missili in modo tempestivo, ma ora qualc...

A ballistic attack at night, without warning; in the morning, alarming reports of speed restrictions on Starlink for the military. Every day, Trump and his team generate news about putting even more pressure on Ukraine, with none on Russia #Ukraine www.ilfoglio.it/esteri/2026/...

Putin continues to receive “gifts” from the U.S. for his birthday, which was on October 7. Are these all the “gifts,” or should we expect something else? #Ukraine

ilfoglio.itPrendendosela con Zelensky, Trump compatta gli ucraini e il loro presidenteLe pressioni del presidente americano producono l’effetto opposto: ricompattare il popolo attorno alla bandiera nazionale. "Quando Trump dice che bisogna cambiare leadership, nega agli ucraini il diri...

UA society has many grievances with Zelenskyy. But when Trump says UA needs a new leader, the effect is exactly the opposite. After the Oval Office clash in February 2025, public trust in Zelenskyy rose by more than 10%. The same thing will probably happen now. www.ilfoglio.it/esteri/2026/...

Zelenskyy faces many domestic problems (the slow pace of reforms, corruption among his inner circle etc.). But Trump’s statements that Zelenskyy needs to be replaced because he is shelling RU oil refineries will backfire.This will once again boost (temporarily) support for Ze #Ukraine

Russia continues to mock the US. Putin will not stop the war in Ukraine. There will be even more deaths. The agreement between Trump and Putin will not solve the problem of fuel prices. There will be even more disgrace and even less peace #Ukraine

Since October 1, Russia has attacked Kyiv’s bridges: 4 drone strikes hit the South Bridge in recent days, and another hit the North Bridge this morning. Both remain standing, but traffic has worsened significantly. Il Foglio #Ukraine www.ilfoglio.it/guerra-russi...

In total, the air-raid alert lasted for over 21 hours in Kyiv today, with less than 3 hours throughout the day without an alert #Ukraine

Witkoff and Kushner have left, and Russia is once again launching a new ballistic missile attack on Kyiv. Loud explosions #Ukraine

The main result of the RU-US and US-UA talks: a few days of calm in Kyiv. If the countries also agree to a new prisoner exchange, that would be a good outcome. It is worth doing all this to bring people home. But I don’t think we should expect anything more than that #Ukraine

I received over 400 responses from Kyiv residents about how they are adapting to the routine of air-raid sirens and explosions, which are now heard also during the day. This short article chronicles a new life in Kyiv. (this is not something new for Kharkiv or Sumy) www.ilfoglio.it/esteri/2026/...

3 Sept

The main expectation for Kushner and Witkoff’s visit to Kyiv (which according to Zelenskyy can happen in the coming days) is that Russia will stop attacking Kyiv with rocket-powered drones for at least a day. This is the most effective form of air defense #Ukraine

I was abroad for only 1 week and returned to Kyiv to a completely different reality. More than 10 air raid alarms per day, jet-powered Shaheds, explosions, and air defenses operating in broad daylight. But the city will probably adapt to this soon, too #Ukraine

Mykhailo Fedorov is moving into opposition to Zelenskyy and proposing that elections be held during the war. There won't be elections anytime soon, it is too dangerous. It’s sad that Fedorov asks about elections. However, political life has become significantly more active #Ukraine

More sad news from Ukraine today. Oleksiy Yukov, the leader of the Black Tulips group that bravely retrieved the bodies of soldiers - Ukrainians and Russians alike - so that their families could give them a proper burial, has died. Spending a day with Yukov was both inspiring and terrifying. RIP.
