Nicuşor Dan won Romania’s presidency with 54% of the vote, defeating ultranationalist rival George Simion in a runoff that followed the annulment of last year’s results over foreign interference concerns.
Simion initially refused to concede, denouncing the rerun as a “coup,” but later congratulated Dan while vowing political resistance Dan’s win was celebrated by EU leaders as a win for pro-European democracy, with leaders including Macron, Von der Leyen, and Zelensky welcoming his election, calling it a signal of Romania’s firm commitment to NATO, the EU, and democratic values in a region vulnerable to Russian influence.

Putin has dismissed the possibility of a peace deal with Ukraine, bluntly rejecting any meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky. Declaring there is “no point” in talks, Putin’s remarks signal a major setback to diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the war. The move heightens tensions as the conflict drags on, leaving hopes for negotiation hanging by a thread.

Breaking: Ukrainian drones have reportedly struck multiple Russian oil facilities overnight, including major blasts at the Ryazan refinery and an oil depot in Luhansk Oblast. Social media footage shows massive fireballs and thick smoke, highlighting Ukraine’s growing long-range strike capabilities.
Since the 2022 invasion, Ukraine has targeted Russian energy infrastructure to weaken Kremlin funding. August alone saw 12 refineries hit, cutting over 17% of Russia’s processing capacity. Previous attacks on Ryazan halved output, and now Putin admits gas shortages in the Far East, warning new enterprises may struggle to get supplies. How will Russia respond to these crippling strikes?

A diplomatic drama is unfolding as US President Donald Trump declared that a trilateral summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky “will happen.” The statement comes after Trump’s Alaska summit with Putin, where he urged a one-on-one between Moscow and Kyiv first. While the Kremlin has not ruled out direct talks, it insists any bilateral must be the final stage once concrete progress is made. Meanwhile, Zelensky has reportedly asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “send the right signal” to Putin, pressing India’s weight as a potential mediator. Kremlin officials confirm flexibility on some issues, but warn NATO’s militarization of Ukraine makes peace elusive. With Putin currently in China, Trump’s bold promise, Kyiv’s appeals to Modi, and Moscow’s warnings against Western “peacekeepers” are shaping a high-stakes diplomatic gamble that could define the next phase of the Ukraine war.

Russia has flatly denied any agreement on an air ceasefire with Ukraine, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declaring “no deals have been reached.” The rejection came amid speculation of a temporary truce after the Alaska peace talks with Trump. Instead, Russia intensified its aerial assault, launching nearly 600 drones and 31 missiles overnight on August 28. Kyiv was hit hardest, with hypersonic Kinzhal strikes killing at least 18 civilians, including 12 in Darnytskyi, as the war enters an even deadlier phase.

Russia launched a massive 95-bomb barrage on Ukraine’s Odesa region, just a mile from NATO’s Romanian border. The strikes targeted oil and port facilities, shaking regional security and sparking fears of a nuclear flashpoint. Germany scrambled Eurofighter Typhoon jets from its base in Romania under NATO’s air policing mission, while officials confirmed no Russian projectiles entered alliance territory.

He further warned that Russia will adjust its military posture along the NATO-Finland border, escalating tensions in Europe as the war in Ukraine enters a dangerous new phase.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has issued a direct warning to Vladimir Putin, declaring that Ukraine now has a “solid basis” for NATO-style Article 5 security guarantees in case of a ceasefire. Speaking in Denmark alongside Nordic-Baltic leaders, Zelensky said Ukraine’s future security must rest on ironclad commitments, not empty promises. With bilateral agreements already in place — including one with Denmark — Kyiv is making it clear: any ceasefire deal must come with NATO-level protection. Will this escalate tensions with Moscow, and how will Putin respond to Ukraine’s defiance?

Anders Fogh Rasmussen, former NATO Secretary General, says linking security guarantees for Ukraine to a ceasefire risks extending the conflict. He says: “If we make security guarantees dependent on an end to the Russian attacks on Ukraine, the war will continue. We are giving Putin an incentive to continue the war to avoid western security guarantees to Ukraine.” Report by Covellm.
