Overview

• Kaja Kallas said in Kyiv that each Russian drone or jet entering EU airspace risks escalation and declared that Moscow is 'gambling with war.'
• NATO has increased air policing along its eastern borders after drone incursions and reported military jet flights into Estonian airspace.
• Ukraine imposed rolling power cuts across seven central and eastern regions after renewed Russian strikes on energy infrastructure ahead of winter.
• Kallas signaled Brussels’ support for supplying US Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, as President Donald Trump said he may warn Vladimir Putin that such transfers could proceed and Moscow called the move a major escalation.
• Kyiv has launched more than 30 strikes on Russian energy facilities since early August, including an oil depot in occupied Crimea that caught fire, and local officials reported a Russian drone strike killing a couple in Zaporizhzhia.
