Negotiators from Russia and Ukraine will convene in Abu Dhabi for peace talks mediated by the United States, following claims from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Ukrainian forces have strengthened their negotiating position. US officials noted both sides have shown flexibility regarding territorial exchanges, though security guarantees remain a central topic.

At least 40 people have been killed in a designated humanitarian zone due to an Israeli airstrike.

Israel claims they were targeted a Hamas centre and tried to minimise civilian deaths. Hamas say they it has no presence in the area and called it ‘blatant lies’ from Israel.

Russian officials claim they intercepted 144 Ukrainian drones in a wave of overnight attacks that resulted in one death and disrupted flights in Moscow.

Ukraine has yet to comment on the drone attack.

Germany will expand its border checks following a tragic knife attack in Solingen, which left three people dead in August. The stricter controls will start September 16 for an initial six-month period.

Critics say the move is a political one rather than being focused on security.
