Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 1,309
"Here is how things stand on Thursday, September 25 : Fighting At least two people were killed by a daytime Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian city of Novorossiysk on Wednesday, according to The Moscow Times. Among those injured were employees of a Russian-Kazakh oil project. Russia's Ministry of Defence on Wednesday said 1,495 Ukrainian troops were killed in the past 24 hours of fighting, according to Russia's state news agency TASS. The numbers have not been independently verified."
"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned world leaders of the threat posed by Russian weapons and innovation while speaking to the United Nations General Assembly. Stopping Russia now is cheaper than wondering who will be the first to create a simple drone carrying a nuclear warhead, Zelenskyy said on Wednesday. The Ukrainian leader also warned of the threat posed by artificial intelligence in the weapons industry, which could be the most destructive arms race in human history."
"Kyiv broke off ties in 2022 after Syria's then-leader Bashar al-Assad recognised Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory as independent. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov separately met with his United States counterpart Marco Rubio in New York on Wednesday. Rubio urged Moscow to take meaningful steps towards a durable resolution, while Lavrov accused Kyiv and Europe of prolonging the war. Kremlin spokesperson Peskov rejected a statement from US President Donald Trump that Russia is a paper tiger and said the country maintains its macroeconomic stability."
At least two people were killed in a daytime Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian city of Novorossiysk, and several employees of a Russian-Kazakh oil project were injured. Russia's Ministry of Defence reported 1,495 Ukrainian troops killed in the past 24 hours, a figure that has not been independently verified. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed concerns about Russian incursions into NATO airspace as unfounded hysteria. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned world leaders at the United Nations about Russian weapons, the risk of nuclear-capable drones, and an escalating artificial intelligence arms race. Ukraine and Syria formally restored diplomatic ties, and Russian and US officials held talks in New York.
