KYIV — The head of the European Union's executive Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has spoken of her outrage at Russia's deadliest onslaught on Kyiv since July — which also damaged the EU's delegation office in the Ukrainian capital.

A five-story residential building was destroyed, and the EU mission and nearby British Council were damaged.

Ukraine knocks out 17% of Russia's oil refining capacity
KYIV — Ukraine has significantly intensified its attacks against Russia's energy sector over the past few weeks, inflicting significant losses on the primary source of financing of Moscow’s war machine.Kyiv’s recent strikes on 10 Russian oil refineries have reportedly disrupted at least 17% of all of Russia’s refining capacity, an equivalent of 1.1 million barrels per day.Ukraine’s targeted campaign is focused on refineries, oil depots and military-industrial sites.

Reform UK chief Nigel Farage says party will mass deport migrants if it wins election
LONDON — Nigel Farage, the leader of Britain's hard-right Reform UK party, said on Tuesday that if he wins the next general election, the country will leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and immediately detain and deport anyone who arrives in the country illegally.Farage laid out his plans to tackle illegal immigration following a significant rise in the number of migrants who arrive by boat across the English Channel, and weeks of protests over the government's use of hotels to house asylum-seekers.Despite holding just four of the 650 seats in the House of Commons, Farage's party has gained momentum by seizing on public frustration over successive governments' inability to bring down the number of migrants coming by boat.National polls have suggested...

Polish president vetoes bill to extend support for Ukraine's Starlink
WARSAW — Poland's President Karol Nawrocki vetoed a bill on Monday to extend the existing support package for Ukraine, saying Warsaw will not be able to continue paying for Kyiv's access to the Starlink network.That means Polish funding to keep Ukraine connected to the internet via Starlink will stop on 1 October, potentially cutting off frontline troops from access to real-time information.Poland has supported Ukraine's internet access via Starlink since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion in early 2022, and the loss of this lifeline service is expected to be a massive blow to Ukrainian troops."Presidential vetoes are cutting blindly. Karol Nawrocki turns off the Internet in Ukraine with his decision, because de facto it means his decision on the law on...
