Je kunt me veel wijsmaken. maar sommige drones zijn omgebouwde Cessna-achtige toestellen. Daarmee even naar Moskou vliegen is onmogelijk.

Nadat Nederland blijkbaar aangegeven heeft geen Zwitserse wapens en zo meer te willen kopen is Duitsland de volgende. Ook Spanje en Denemarken zijn dit aan het overwegen.

Allemaal het gevolg van Zwitserland zijn neutraliteit en daardoor de weigering om toestemming te geven om wapens en zo van hun te mogen leveren aan Oekra�ne.

The Guardian: Britain Already Decided to Allow Ukraine Strikes on Russia Using Long-Range Missiles
According to The Guardian, Britain has already decided to allow Ukraine to hit targets in Russia with long-range Storm Shadow missiles. However, this is unlikely to be publicly announced during the meeting of the US and Britain leaders on September 13.

Sources added that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy would not have visited Kyiv, on September 11, to meet with Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy if there was no positive decision on the use of Storm Shadow.

“But it would be considered unnecessarily provocative to make a public announcement about long-range missiles in Kyiv,” wrote the Guardian.

On September 13, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and US President Joe Biden are expected to discuss Russia’s war in Ukraine and the ways to end it, as well as permission to fire long-range missiles at the Russian territory. Further talks on the issue are expected this weekend to inform key European allies of the outcome.

TIFF stands firm on decision to premiere controversial Russians at War documentary

^{People protest outside of Scotiabank Theatre about the documentary Russians at War playing at the Toronto International Film Festival, in Toronto, on Sept. 10.}

The Toronto International Film Festival is standing firm on its decision to hold the North American premiere of Russians at War, one day after Ontario’s public broadcaster TVO, which helped fund the documentary, pulled its support and planned release of the production over an outcry from the Ukrainian community.

Shot in a fly-on-the-wall cin�ma-v�rit� style, Russians at War follows Russian-Canadian documentarian Anastasia Trofimova as she spends months following Russian soldiers from their homes to the front lines of occupied Ukraine, with many of her subjects revealing feelings of confusion and disillusionment with their government. The film has sparked intense backlash since its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month.

“In our view, in no way should this film be considered Russian propaganda. While we understand the concerns expressed by many, we believe, like the Venice Film Festival and other international festivals who have programmed the film, that this Canadian documentary merits a place in our selection,” the unsigned statement from TIFF read.

Israeli pleads guilty to shipping US-made avionics to Russia, violating sanctions
US Justice Department says Gal Haimovich sent aircraft tech, some of it with missile applications, worth $2 million to Russian customers, violating export controls amid Ukraine war

An Israeli national pleaded guilty Monday in a US court to charges that he illegally shipped American aircraft parts and avionics to Russia, in violation of export controls imposed following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Gal Haimovich, 49, admitted to deceiving American companies about the destination of goods, including some that had missile technology applications, which he supplied to intermediaries en route to Russian customers, the US Justice Department said in a statement Tuesday.

Haimovich directed more than 160 shipments between at least March 2022 and May 2023 to companies in the Maldives and the United Arab Emirates, for ultimate delivery to Russia, the statement said.

The Israeli national hid from suppliers that he was ultimately working on behalf of Siberia Airlines, which he billed for some $2 million. He has now agreed to forfeit the money along with various aircraft parts.

The case is being overseen by the US Justice Department’s “KleptoCapture” task force to enforce sanctions and export controls on Russia amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.

The task force was launched by US Attorney General Merrick Garland in March 2022, within a month of Russia’s invasion.

The United States also accused Iran this week of providing Russia with ballistic missiles for use in Ukraine, a charge that the Islamic Republic has denied but that Russia has not explicitly rejected.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Tuesday that Russia was also sharing technology with Iran, including on nuclear issues.

The US is set to impose new sanctions on Iran, including its airline Iran Air, Blinken said.

Exclusive-The identities of Wagner mercenaries lost in a Mali ambush revealed
Among the dozens of Wagner mercenaries presumed dead after a lethal battle with Tuareg rebels during a desert sandstorm in Mali in July were Russian war veterans who survived tours in Ukraine, Libya and Syria, according to interviews with relatives and a review of social media data.

The loss of such experienced fighters exposes dangers faced by Russian mercenary forces working for military juntas, which are struggling to contain separatists and powerful offshoots of Islamic State and Al Qaeda across the arid Sahel region in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger.

The Mali defeat raises doubts over whether Moscow, which has admitted funding Wagner and has absorbed many of its fighters into a defence ministry force, will do better than Western and U.N. troops recently expelled by the juntas, six officials and experts who work in the region said.

By cross-referencing public information with online posts from relatives and fighters, speaking to seven relatives and using facial recognition software to analyse battlefield footage verified by Reuters, the news agency was able to identify 23 fighters missing in action and two others taken into Tuareg captivity after the ambush near Tinzaouaten, a town on the Algerian border.The identities of Wagner mercenaries lost in a Mali ambush revealed

Several of the men had survived the siege of Bakhmut in Ukraine, which Wagner’s late founder Yevgeny Prigozhin called a “meat grinder.” Others had served in Libya, Syria and elsewhere. Some were former Russian soldiers, at least one of whom had retired after a full-length army career.

Grisly footage of dead fighters has now circulated online, and some of relatives told Reuters the bodies of their husbands and sons had been abandoned in the desert. Reuters could not confirm how many of the men it identified were dead.

On board a lifesaving hospital train bringing Ukraine’s wounded soldiers to safety
Olga is running around the intensive care unit, constantly checking her patients’ oxygen levels, adjusting their medication and noting their vitals. She’s working fast, but even at her busiest, the nurse anesthetist doesn’t hesitate to pause to adjust a pillow or blanket, and make sure the injured soldiers in her care are as comfortable as possible amid the constant rocking and rumbling.

A sergeant in the Ukrainian military, she is attending to some of its sickest patients. It’s a busy job – and she is doing it on a speeding train.

CNN gained exclusive access to a medical evacuation train used by the Ukrainian army to transport the wounded from near the frontlines to hospitals around this large country. This infirmary on wheels – one of several crisscrossing the nation – is now a key part of Ukraine’s healthcare system, which has been highly depleted by two and half years of Russia’s brutal war. It is operating in complete secrecy, which is why CNN is not revealing its route or identifying its staff by their full names.

Most cities in eastern Ukraine are struggling to find enough hospital beds to accommodate the almost constant stream of casualties from the frontlines. But freeing up space requires that even the sickest patients, many of them unconscious, are transferred to far-flung places, often hundreds of miles away.

Long ambulance journeys are too risky for people in a critical condition, and flying a helicopter is too dangerous given Russia’s air superiority over Ukrainian skies.

The train is a lifesaver.
