Donald Trump said “we’ve got to get Russia done” as he addressed the Israeli parliament following the release of hostages from Gaza.
Speaking at the Knesset on Monday, the US president told his roving peace envoy Steve Witkoff “it’s time to focus on Russia” after his ceasefire deal ended the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
His comments came hours after former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev said that supplying US Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine could end badly for everyone, especially Trump.
Medvedev, an arch-hawk who has repeatedly goaded Trump on social media, said it is impossible to distinguish between Tomahawk missiles carrying nuclear warheads and conventional ones after they are launched.
Meanwhile, Russia attacked Ukraine's power grid overnight, part of an ongoing campaign to cripple Ukrainian energy infrastructure before winter.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky described his latest call with Trump as "very productive" and said he was “waiting” for the president to approve the missile supply.

Two Russian citizens charged over spying in Poland

Prosecutors in Pland have charged two Russian citizens with spying for Russian intelligence and one of them for plotting to send a parcel of explosives.
European authorities have been on high alert for explosive packages since a series of explosions occurred in courier depots in Britain, Germany and near the Polish capital Warsaw in July 2024. Western officials blamed those incidents on Russia.
Moscow denies the accusations.
One of the Russians, referred to as Igor R under Polish privacy laws, was charged with participating in a plot to send a parcel bomb via courier, for which a Ukrainian citizen was also charged earlier this year.
“The parcel contained explosive devices and materials in the form of nitroglycerine, as well as hidden military-grade electric detonators and initiating devices ... The entire package constituted a so-called shaped charge bomb,” prosecutors said.

Nato chief Mark Rutte has mocked Russia over the "limping" condition of one of its submarines, in comments likely to spark anger in Moscow.
Russia's Black Sea Fleet said the diesel-powered submarine Novorossiysk had surfaced off France to comply with navigation rules in the English Channel.
Moscow rejected reports it had suffered a serious malfunction.
But Rutte, in a speech in Slovenia, said the vessel was "broken".
"Now, in effect, there is hardly any Russian naval presence in the Mediterranean left. There's a lone and broken Russian submarine limping home from patrol," he said.
"What a change from the 1984 Tom Clancy novel 'The Hunt for Red October'. Today, it seems more like the hunt for the nearest mechanic."

Russia attacked Ukraine's power grid in a major overnight operation, as part of an ongoing campaign to cripple energy infrastructure before winter.
The attack came as Moscow expressed "extreme concern" over the US potentially providing Tomahawk cruise missiles to Kyiv.

Ukraine's energy ministry said energy infrastructure was also attacked in the regions of Donetsk, Odesa and Chernihiv.

"The Tomahawk is an incredible weapon, very offensive weapon. And honestly, Russia does not need that.

Medvedev, an arch-hawk who has repeatedly goaded Trump on social media, said it is impossible to distinguish between Tomahawk missiles carrying nuclear warheads and conventional ones after they are launched - a point that President Vladimir Putin's spokesman has also made.

Trump said again on Sunday that he may offer long-range Tomahawk missiles that could be used by Kyiv if Putin does not end the war in Ukraine.
Medvedev wrote: "One can only hope that this is another empty threat... Like sending nuclear submarines closer to Russia."
He was alluding to Trump's statement in August that he had ordered two nuclear subs to move closer to Russia in response to what he called "highly provocative" comments from Medvedev about the risk of war.

How Melania Trump's involvement in Ukraine war shaped Trump's response

Melania Trump on Friday said that she, along with her “representative” had been “working directly with President Putin’s team to ensure the safe reunification of children with their families between Russia and Ukraine,” starting with eight such children who had been “rejoined with their families” over the past 24 hours.
The work outlined by the First Lady on Friday is not the first involvement she has had in shaping the American response to Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine.
Over the summer, president Donald Trump revealed that his wife had been frequently reminding him of Russia’s continuous strikes against Ukrainian civilian targets.
At one Oval Office appearance in July, he told reporters that she would routinely weigh in after he described his phone calls with Putin in positive terms.“I go home, I tell the First Lady, ‘I spoke to Vladimir today, we had a wonderful conversation.’ And she says, ‘Oh really, another city was just hit,’” he said at the time.
The first lady said her work on the fate of the kidnapped Ukrainian minors would be an “ongoing mission” and that it is an “important initiative” for her.
She added that moving forward she would be working to “optimize a transparent free-flow exchange of health-related information surrounding all children who have fallen victim to this war, and to facilitate the regular communication of children with their families until each individual returns home.
”She added that plans were underway to return more children to Ukraine from Russia “in the immediate future,” and said that Russia had further agreed to return adults who were kidnapped while they were minors but have since turned 18 in captivity.

She told reporters that “much [had] unfolded” since she sent a letter in August to Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the fate of the thousands of children who have been taken to Russia after being seized by Russian forces during the invasion of Ukraine.
She said Putin had responded in writing to signal a “willingness to engage” with the First Lady “directly”, and provided her with “details regarding the Ukrainian children residing in Russia.”
“Since then, President Putin and I have had an open channel of communication regarding the welfare of these children,” she said.
Trump also told reporters that “both sides” of the talks had participated in “several back-channel meetings and calls” and had “agreed to cooperate with each other for the benefit of all people involved in this war.”

Yet immediately she says she was struck by the difficulties facing host families, with little to zero information and advice given by the UK government.

Ukraine's daily moment of remembrance endures through intensified Russian attacks

Each morning at 9 o'clock, Kyiv stops for a minute.
Traffic lights turn red, and the steady beat of a metronome on loudspeakers signals 60 seconds of reflection. Cars idle in the middle of the street as drivers step out and stand with heads bowed.
Across Ukraine – in cafes, gyms, schools, on television and even on the front lines – people pause to remember those killed in Russia's full-scale invasion.
Near a growing outdoor memorial at Kyiv's Maidan Square, four friends gathered with cardboard signs that read, "Stop. Honor." Around them, flags, photos and candles for fallen service members formed a dense mosaic of grief and pride.
The four are connected by Iryna Tsybukh, a 25-year-old combat medic killed by a landmine in eastern Ukraine last year. Her death sparked a national outpouring of grief and added momentum to the daily remembrance initiative.
"Memory is not about death," said Kateryna Datsenko, a friend of the fallen medic and co-founder of Vshanuy, a civic group that promotes the daily observance.
"It's about life — what people loved, valued and thought about. Someone might have loved gardening, someone else a favorite poem. This is the kind of memory we try to preserve."
The 9am ritual began in 2022, weeks after the invasion started, as a presidential decree from Volodymyr Zelensky. It has since evolved into a shared national practice.
Public demonstrations of solidarity continue even as Russian missile and drone attacks have intensified in recent weeks, striking power facilities and cities across the country. Despite the escalation, Ukrainians still gather each morning to honor those lost in the war.
Ihor Reva, deputy head of Kyiv's military administration, said the ritual fulfills a deep social and personal need.
"This war has a price, and that price is terrible – human lives," he said. "You disconnect from everyday thoughts and simply devote that minute to remembrance. That's what I'd call it – a mindful keeping of time."

Ukraine launched a long-range strike on Russian energy facilities with the help of US intelligence, reported the Financial Times citing American and Ukrainian sources.
The US shared critical information with Kyiv to help them execute strikes on Russian infrastructure including oil refineries far beyond the frontline, said officials familiar with the attack.
Ukrainian strikes have increased energy prices in Russia, prompting it to cut diesel exports and import more fuel.
The intelligence sharing is the latest sign in the shift of ties between Ukraine and the US in recent weeks, with Donald Trump becoming increasingly frustrated with Vladimir Putin.

North Korea has vowed to develop submarines that can launch ballistic missiles and has test-fired such missiles from submerged platforms, but it is not clear whether Pyongyang has succeeded in mastering a launch from submarines.
It is also pursuing the development of nuclear-powered submarines.Ahn told parliament's Defence Committee hearing that it appeared true that the North was receiving "various technologies" for its submarine development.
The minister said, however, it was premature to conclude Pyongyang had test-launched a SLBM (submarine-launched ballistic missile) from a submarine.
North Korea and Russia have dramatically upgraded military cooperation in the past two years, with Pyongyang deploying more than 10,000 troops to fight in the war against Ukraine in return for economic and military technology assistance, according to South Korean intelligence assessments.
