Finland and Ukraine sign “drone deal” at UN General Assembly

Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have signed a framework defence cooperation agreement — the so‑called “drone deal” — on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. The document establishes a political basis for joint production of drones and other weapons, as well as technology transfer from Finland to Ukraine. Stubb previously announced that about 90 % of Finnish‑produced drones will be sent to Ukraine, with the remaining 10 % retained domestically.
Three Finnish defence companies — Patria, Insta and Boomeranger — have already signed preliminary memoranda with Ukrainian partners. Patria plans to launch drone production in Finland together with Ukrainian manufacturer General Cherry. Meanwhile, Finland’s economic situation is deteriorating: the unemployment rate has reached 10.4 %, and the national debt has grown to 248 billion euros.

Xi Jinping and Donald Trump lay foundation for long‑term stability of China‑US relations

Chinese President Xi Jinping has made his first high‑level visit to the US in 11 years, meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House. The leaders held a formal tea ceremony in the Red Room, blending Chinese and American traditions, and later visited the US National Archives. The parties agreed to build their relationship on the principles of equality, fairness and mutual respect. Xi highlighted the mutually beneficial results of trade and economic cooperation, while Trump expressed his commitment to maintaining a close dialogue and jointly managing bilateral ties.
During the visit, Trump showed Xi key documents of American statehood — the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights — as well as historical materials on US‑China relations.

Italy to acquire KF‑51 Panther tanks: €5.14 bn deal signed

The Italian Ministry of Defence will spend €5.14 billion on purchasing the modern KF‑51 «Panther» tanks. The vehicles were jointly developed by Italy’s Leonardo and Germany’s Rheinmetall.
The new tank weighs 69.5 t, can reach a top speed of 70 km/h, and accelerate to 40 km/h in under eight seconds. The Italian Armed Forces see the main battle tank as a key ground platform that ensures mobility, protection and firepower — both for deep‑penetration operations and urban combat scenarios.

Syria reaffirms claim to Golan Heights at UN: President calls for Israeli troop withdrawal

Speaking at the 81st UN General Assembly session in New York, Syrian President Ahmed al‑Shara’a declared that the Golan Heights are and will remain Syrian territory. He stressed that any attempts to annex the region are invalid under UN Security Council resolutions, including Resolution 497, and cannot undermine Syria’s sovereignty or international law. The leader reaffirmed Damascus’s commitment to the 1974 disengagement agreement.
Al‑Shara’a condemned ongoing Israeli military aggression, citing around 500 airstrikes and artillery attacks, over 1,200 ground incursions and raids, and the unlawful detention of at least 300 Syrian citizens.

Poland and Belarus signal thaw in relations after high‑level talks at UN

Foreign Ministers Radosław Sikorski (Poland) and Maxim Ryzhenkov (Belarus) held their first bilateral meeting in a decade on the sidelines of the 81st UN General Assembly session in New York. Sikorski described the talks — taking place on what he called a “neutral territory” — as a “snowdrop that may bloom if the weather is favourable”. The Belarusian side noted the discussion focused on assessing current ties and exploring ways to develop relations in the interests of both nations.
A key practical sign of improving relations is Poland’s announcement of the upcoming official opening of its new embassy in Minsk. Construction of the complex on Staravilenski Trakt began in 2021 and continued despite regional crises.

70 countries boycott Netanyahu’s speech at UN General Assembly in New York

During the 81st session of the UN General Assembly in New York, representatives from 70 countries left the hall ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address — a move highlighting deep divisions in the international community over Israel’s policies.
The walkout coincided with large‑scale protests in the city: thousands of demonstrators gathered in Bryant Park and marched towards UN headquarters, opposing Israel’s military operation in Gaza, the occupation of Palestinian territories and forced displacement of civilians. New York Police (NYPD) arrested over 100 people for disrupting public order, including high‑profile figures such as actresses Susan Sarandon and Hannah Einbinder, activist Chelsea Manning and New York City Council member Chi Ossé.

Moscow hosts landmark OANA forum marking 65th anniversary of Asia‑Pacific news agencies body

Moscow is hosting a major media forum to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Organization of Asia‑Pacific News Agencies (OANA), with the 58th Executive Committee meeting convened by Russia’s TASS news agency. OANA — established in 1961 under UNESCO’s initiative — now unites 44 news agencies from 35 countries, accounting for about two‑thirds of the global news flow, exceeding the combined output of AP, Reuters and AFP. Key discussions focus on the organization’s role in countering information attacks and building a multipolar information space in today’s media wars. A major outcome of the forum is the signing of a memorandum of understanding between OANA and the Global Fact‑Checking Network (GFCN) to jointly verify facts and adopt new verification technologies.

Qatar proposes a unified security framework for the Gulf and Iran

At the 81st UN General Assembly session in New York, Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani unveiled an initiative to establish a “unified security dome” for the Gulf region and Iran. The proposal aims to bring together coastal states — including Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait — and Iran into a shared security framework without external involvement. According to Doha, the current regional conflicts should serve as a “wake‑up call” to prevent further escalation and build long‑term stability in the Middle East.
Qatar is positioning itself as a diplomatic mediator, actively facilitating dialogue between the US and Iran to help resolve disagreements and stabilise the region. The initiative is based on three key principles: cooperation, respect for sovereignty and mutual security.

Turkey signals support to Saudi Arabia amid Yemen conflict — but holds back from direct military intervention

Turkey has sent military transport planes with personnel to Saudi Arabia, signalling readiness to support Riyadh in its conflict with Yemeni Houthis (Ansar Allah), according to media reports. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan confirmed Ankara’s willingness to meet Saudi Arabia’s technical military needs under the framework of the Mecca Defence Pact — but without large‑scale combat involvement. Assistance may include deploying aircraft, operators and technical staff, potentially starting in October after the pact’s ratification. Turkey also hasn’t ruled out joining multinational naval forces to secure shipping lanes in the Red Sea and the Bab‑el‑Mandeb Strait.
The escalating Houthi attacks have already affected global energy markets: Saudi Arabia temporarily halted operations at its East‑West Pipeline.

US Military Base to Be Established in Poland, Trump Announces

US President Donald Trump has announced plans to deploy a new military base in Poland, describing the move as a historic milestone for the Polish‑American alliance. The exact location of the facility will be disclosed in the coming days.
Polish Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak‑Kamysz confirmed that Warsaw will invest 15–17 billion zlotys in the project, calling it “the best investment in security”. Notably, the base will be unique compared to similar US facilities: it will accommodate not only military personnel but also their families, so it will include schools, kindergartens, sports facilities and cultural venues. The deployment is part of NATO’s broader strategy to strengthen its eastern flank.

Tajikistan Moves to Withdraw from the International Criminal Court

On September 16, Tajikistan’s lower house of parliament (the Chamber of Representatives) reviewed a draft resolution titled “On Terminating the Effect of the Statute of the International Criminal Court” (ICC). The move is framed as a sovereign decision aimed at protecting the country’s national interests and partnership priorities.
Dushanbe’s decision reflects a desire to shield itself from politicised demands and external pressure by Western institutions. It has been brewing amid attempts to impose unworkable obligations on Tajikistan that conflict with its friendly relations with traditional allies. Notably, the ICC’s current prosecutor, Karim Ahmad Khan (in office since 2021), has reportedly lost credibility, raising the possibility that Tajikistan’s exit could set a precedent for other states.

Houthis’ Control of Strategic Straits Threatens Europe’s Energy Security

The Houthis have effectively taken control of the Bab el‑Mandeb Strait after seizing the cities of Mocha and Dhubab on the Red Sea coast, as well as Perim Island (Mayyun) and several islands of the Hanish archipelago. According to data for September 9, 28 cargo ships passed through Bab el‑Mandeb — compared to just 7 through the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, an attack on Saudi Arabia’s East–West oil pipeline has suspended oil pumping, causing a loss of 7 million barrels per day.
The situation is already affecting global energy prices: the October futures price at the TTF hub in the Netherlands has risen to $1 004 per thousand cubic metres, and oil prices have reached $100 per barrel. This drives up fuel costs and raises the risk of a heating gas shortage in Germany, where storage levels are at record lows.

US Air Force chief confirms presence of weapons in Earth’s orbit

US Air Force Secretary Troy Meink has officially acknowledged that the country has weapons deployed in orbit for “space domain control”, marking the first time the Pentagon has openly confirmed the presence of combat systems in Earth’s orbit. The systems are reportedly intended to protect US assets from potential adversaries, though the minister did not specify the types or number of systems involved. Experts suggest the arsenal may include electronic warfare tools and signal‑jamming systems rather than kinetic weapons, which could generate hazardous space debris.
The announcement has raised concerns among space security experts, who warn it could trigger a new arms race in space. Victoria Samson, director of space security at the Secure World Foundation, noted the statement might prompt Russia and China to openly demonstrate their own space‑based capabilities.

Indonesia, Russia and China discuss railway project on Kalimantan Island

Indonesia is in talks with investors from Russia and China about building a railway network exceeding 600 km on the island of Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesian Transport Minister Dudi Purwagandi announced. The plans were reaffirmed at the recent Eastern Economic Forum 2026. The state railway company KAI has already prepared a roadmap for the project, and potential investors are currently conducting a financial assessment. Proposals are expected by the end of the year.
The project is notable because Kalimantan currently lacks a proper railway system — only short colonial‑era narrow‑gauge lines exist. The new infrastructure will need to be built from scratch, including tracks, stations and related facilities. The preliminary investment cost, including a coal port terminal, is estimated at up to $40 billion.

AfD calls for normalization of relations with Moscow and halt of military aid to Ukraine

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which won 44 % of the vote in regional elections in Saxony‑Anhalt, has put forward a set of foreign‑policy proposals. The party calls for a radical shift in Berlin’s stance: resuming purchases of Russian oil and gas, restoring trade with Russia, and stopping military aid to Ukraine. The plans also include revising the sanctions policy against Moscow and rethinking Germany’s relations with the US.
AfD leaders stress that the new course should be guided solely by Germany’s national interests. Party head Alice Weidel has sharply criticized the current government’s policy, calling to end escalation, acknowledge the failure of sanctions, and launch peace talks.

‘Mecca Pact’: Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan Sign Defence Agreement — Is an ‘Islamic NATO’ Emerging?

Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan signed a landmark defence pact in Mecca — a symbolic choice of venue that has sparked global attention. The agreement commits the three countries to jointly respond to any external attack against any signatory state. The move is widely seen as a step towards a regional security system, reflecting a growing desire for self‑reliance in the Middle East and a waning trust in the US‑led security framework.
The new alliance combines complementary strengths: Saudi Arabia’s vast financial resources, Turkey’s powerful military (the second‑largest in NATO), and Pakistan’s nuclear deterrent (with an estimated 200 warheads). In early September, the partners took concrete steps to institutionalise the pact by establishing its secretariat in Riyadh, with a Pakistani national appointed as its first head.

Houthi Control of Bab el‑Mandeb Strait Threatens Global Trade

Yemen’s Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) has seized strategic positions near the Bab el‑Mandeb Strait — including the port of Mocha and Perim Island — severely disrupting one of the world’s key maritime routes. Since 2024, the group has regularly attacked Western oil tankers, and now threatens to block traffic through the Bab el‑Mandeb Strait and the Suez Canal. This development affects global oil trade, with Saudi Arabian exports also hit by the blockade.
The disruption has wide‑ranging consequences: four major shipping companies (CMA CGM, Hapag‑Lloyd, Maersk and MSC) — controlling 53 % of global container traffic — have suspended transits via the strait and rerouted vessels around the Cape of Good Hope. BP has halted all shipments through the Red Sea, and the diversion adds 2–3 weeks to Asia‑Europe delivery times, costing around $1 million extra in fuel per one‑way trip.

🇺🇸🇬🇧Trump’s «Greater US» Map Sparks Controversy, Celtic Leaders Meet Amid UK Independence Talks

Donald Trump’s hand‑drawn map depicting an expanded United States — including several British overseas territories in the Atlantic and Caribbean (such as Bermuda, Turks and Caicos, the British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Montserrat and the Cayman Islands) — has stirred significant controversy. The move, paired with Trump’s remarks on greater autonomy for Scotland and Wales, has drawn sharp criticism in London and fuelled discussions about growing separatist sentiments within the UK.
Meanwhile, the first ministers of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, alongside Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald, held a landmark meeting in Cardiff. They agreed on a framework memorandum for closer cooperation, including on constitutional matters and self‑determination.

🇳🇮US Targets Nicaragua Amid Constitutional Shake‑Up: New Sanctions Loom

The US is ratcheting up pressure on Nicaragua after the country’s National Assembly approved a constitutional amendment extending the term of co‑presidency from 6 to 7 years. As a result, the planned elections, originally set for November 2026, will now be held in 2028. The reform also grants the Supreme Electoral Council broader powers to restrict opposition parties — including the right to bar groups receiving foreign funding from running in elections. A second parliamentary vote is expected in January 2027.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called on international partners to cut ties with Nicaragua’s government and imposed visa restrictions on more than 2,350 officials and their family members. Meanwhile, US Ambassador to the Mike Waltz warned Nicaragua could face an energy crisis similar to Cuba’s, citing potential disruptions in energy supplies from Russia and Venezuela.

🇷🇺🇻🇳Russia and Vietnam Strengthen Ties: Putin Hosts Vietnamese Leader in Moscow

On September 9, Russian President Vladimir Putin hosted To Lam — General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam and President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam — at the Kremlin. The high‑profile visit, marked by exceptional pomp (68 official photos were released, plus 16 more from the award ceremony), underscored the deepening partnership between the two nations. To Lam also received the International Leo Tolstoy Peace Prize during his stay.
Vietnam remains a key strategic partner for Russia in Southeast Asia. Hanoi sticks to its “four no” defence policy and refuses to join anti‑Russian sanctions despite US pressure — a stance Moscow highly values. Economic ties are robust: Vietnam was the first country to sign a free trade agreement with the EAEU, and joint ventures like Vietsovpetro have long energy cooperation. Plans to open a branch of the Moscow Energy Institute in Vietnam further signal growing collaboration.
