One thing that Steve and I considered truly useful was to return to the trilateral format that we managed to organize about six months ago. We spoke with both sides, so I hope we will soon see progress on this issue.

I think it's important to discuss the major issues, of course, but also some de-escalation steps that can also be taken.

You know, when we organized the trilateral meeting, Steve and I actually enjoyed it much more, because everyone was talking to each other. Instead of us having to explain the Russian position to the Ukrainians, and the Ukrainian position to the Russians, everyone was talking to each other in Russian and discussing these issues in a very friendly manner – all in Russian. And I think that was productive.

The next trilateral meeting on Ukraine could take place in the UAE, Switzerland, or Turkey, Zelensky said.

He also expects to meet with Trump around September 20–29.

Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband has officially announced sanctions against the illegal settlements of the West Bank, and clarified that Britain recognises the situation as ethnic cleansing.

🇬🇧🇨🇦🇫🇷⚔️🇮🇱 Israeli outlets such as i24 and Haaretz are reporting that Canada and France will likely join the British sanctions against West Bank settlers today.

🇷🇴 Air raid sirens in Suceava, south Bukovina. The city has never been subject to spillovers from the Ukrainian war before. Channels report that Banderol drones are heading towards the city.

Edit: Alerts extended to the city of Iași too.

🇷🇺⚔️🇲🇩 A Russian drone was headed via Transnistria to Chișinău, before redirecting to Ukraine.

✍🏼 There are no air defences in the region, the nearest fighter jets are in Cluj. The only systems there that can engage air targets are Jderul IFVs, but that is not their primary purpose and would struggle to land hits.

🇷🇴 The first flight since the situation emerged has been allowed to land at Iași airport. The alert in the city is over.

🇲🇩 Four fires broke out in the end presumably due to shrapnel and parts of the drone falling from the sky, but fortunately no one was injured or killed.

The CNI (Spanish intelligence agency) acknowledges that Morocco stole 5 million messages, 100,000 emails, around 1,200 photos, and 40 hours of recorded audio from the phone of Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez.

In response, Israel ordered the British Consulate in East Jerusalem to cease operations, and expelled British representatives from the Gaza Coordination Center.

Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar said:

"Those who act against Israel, Israel will act against them.

They will lose their influence and relevance in the region. Measures against Israel will not remain without a response."
