President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Ukrainian drones will keep operating over Russia, making its airspace increasingly unsafe for civilian aviation. He said Ukraine is targeting military infrastructure that supports Russia’s war effort.
Russian President Vladimir Putin described Volodymyr Zelensky’s warning that Russia’s airspace is becoming unsafe as a “bid for state terrorism.” Zelensky said airlines should leave, while Putin warned that Russia would respond to any resulting tragedies and said its forces had orders to prepare massive strikes on Ukraine’s energy facilities.
Ukraine’s president issued a warning to carriers, insurers and governments abroad: as Kyiv expands its drone campaign, flying through Russian airspace will become progressively less safe.
Aeroflot shares dropped more than 5% after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned airlines using Russian airspace. At around 8:40 p.m. Moscow time, the stock reached 30.36 rubles, down 5.11%. Zelensky said the airspace was becoming “completely unsafe” because drones would appear in Russia’s skies on a scale airlines must consider, adding that its safe days were over.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned airlines, insurers, and others using Russia’s airspace or key airports that Ukrainian drone attacks are making the airspace completely unsafe and will effectively close it. He said Ukraine is not targeting civilian aviation and wants to prevent innocent deaths, while reiterating that he had ordered 1,000 drones a day against Russia.
President Volodymyr Zelensky warned airlines, insurers and foreign governments that Russian airspace will be “de facto closed” because of Ukrainian drones. He said carriers serving Moscow, St. Petersburg and other major Russian hubs must account for the danger, while insisting Ukraine does not threaten civil aviation.
Russia’s Defense Ministry says air defenses intercepted and destroyed 109 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Moscow time on September 1. The ministry said the UAVs were downed over seven Russian regions, Crimea and the Black Sea.

The United States and Iran returned to a wartime footing after their most significant exchange in weeks. Washington threatened even more devastating strikes, while Iran protested an attack it said killed five people and wounded dozens of civilians at a wedding.
RReutersOriginal★★★★★2026-09-02 03:00
The U.S. military said Tuesday night that it had completed its latest strikes on Iran, targeting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps positions. The action followed a weekend exchange of fire as the war with Iran escalated.
The latest U.S.-Iran strikes sent oil prices and bond yields sharply higher, shifted expectations toward a Federal Reserve rate hike rather than a cut, and prompted Vladimir Putin to publicly back Tehran.
Oil prices rose Wednesday as tensions in the Middle East continued to escalate after the U.S. attacked Iran and Tehran reportedly struck back at U.S. allies. Brent crude gained more than 2%.
Iranian state media says US strikes in two separate incidents killed 11 people, including four at a wedding in southern Iran. The attacks followed US strikes on what Washington described as Iranian military targets and Iranian missile and drone fire at sites across the Middle East, ending a month-long lull and escalating hostilities.
Asian stocks fell sharply at the start of Wednesday trading as panic sparked by the bond market spread into the region. Renewed U.S. attacks on Iran also drove oil prices higher.
Iran says a series of US strikes near the southern port city of Sirik killed at least four people, including a child at a wedding party. Iran’s health ministry says 50 others were injured in the attacks.
U.S. forces completed another wave of strikes inside Iran on Tuesday, hitting multiple sites linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as tensions in the Middle East flared again.
Iran says a US strike hit a wedding in Sirik as attacks targeted sites across the country. Tehran vows a “firm response.”

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said G20 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting in Asheville, North Carolina, failed to reach agreement on a joint communique. He attributed the lack of consensus to China’s position and said the United States, as chair, had prepared a final statement.
G20 finance leaders ended two days of talks in Asheville, North Carolina, with broad support for a final statement despite tensions over Russia’s participation and disagreements with China. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Moscow’s presence did not disrupt the discussions, which also covered the Middle East war, tariffs, global trade imbalances and continued support for Ukraine.
Scott Bessent said China dissented from language in a G20 statement opposing markets being flooded with “cheap exports.” He is leading the Trump administration’s plan to choke off Iran’s economy by threatening its business partners with secondary sanctions.

RReutersOriginal★★★☆☆2026-09-01 23:50
Venezuela’s National Assembly approved a 65-billion-barrel oil arrangement even though its terms have not been published. US Energy Secretary Chris Wright is expected to visit Venezuela as the Trump administration advances the controversial deal, which would give the US access to part of the country’s proven reserves and involve a partnership to develop 17 oil fields. Critics liken it to agreements imposed by colonial powers.
The US and Venezuela have signed a Caracas agreement giving a US-led company 100-year concessions over 17 oilfields containing 65 billion barrels of crude. Donald Trump and interim President Delcy Rodríguez hailed it as historic, but critics called the terms one-sided and colonialist, while experts questioned the proposed timetable and how the oil revenue would be managed.
The Trump administration is defending an agreement with Venezuela as a means of pushing Chinese and Russian rivals out of oilfields in “our hemisphere”. Chevron is preparing to expand its operations in the country.
The White House said it is partnering with North American Blue Energy Partners as Donald Trump seeks greater access to Venezuela’s oil industry. The arrangement would give the Pentagon a stake in fields representing about one-fifth of the country’s vast oil reserves. Venezuela’s ruling-party-dominated National Assembly approved the oil deal with the Trump administration on Tuesday.
US President Donald Trump announced a new deal with Venezuela on Friday, calling it “the biggest oil deal in world history” and saying it involved “65 billion barrels of oil”. Washington is rumoured to be partnering with controversial Venezuelan oil tycoon Alejandro Betancourt, who built his fortune under the Chavista regime.
Controversial Venezuelan businessman Alejandro Betancourt, who built his fortune through contracts awarded during Hugo Chavez’s presidency and has faced alleged money-laundering investigations, has been chosen by the Trump administration to lead a new US-backed oil venture.
