Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 1,291

On Sunday, September 7, 2018, this is how things are going.

Late on Saturday, Russian forces launched another large-scale drone attack on Ukraine, according to the Kyiv Independent, citing officials. Explosions were audible in cities across Ukraine, including Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Dnipro.
One person was killed and several others were hurt by a Russian attack in the Ukrainian town of Putyvl, according to regional governor Oleh Hryhorov. Among those injured was a nine-year-old child.
At least 15 people were also hurt by a separate Russian drone attack in Zaporizhia in the southeast, according to Ivan Fedorov, the head of the military in the region, which is partially occupied by Russia.
Authorities in Chernihiv, Ukraine, reported that a Russian drone dropped leaflets in the form of 100 Hryvnia bills to offer residents real money in exchange for coordinates to help Russia defeat Ukrainian forces.
No significant harm or an increase in radiation levels were caused by Ukrainian drones hitting the roof of the training facility for the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, according to the Ukraine-based government’s undersecretary. According to the statement, the strike occurred from a reactor unit about 300 meters (984 feet).

Officials from both countries were present at the burial of Poles who were killed by Ukrainian nationalist fighters during World War II, easing a remarkably difficult relationship between the two allies.
In an alleged sabotage ploy committed in December of 2024, a Georgian captain of a ship that is thought to belong to Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet” has denied intentionally dragging an anchor. In a Finnish court, Captain Davit Vadacthkoria and two senior Eagle S&nbsp officers are accused of “aggravated criminal mischief and aggravated interference with communications” in a Finnish court.

According to Belgian Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Prevot, securing Russian central bank assets from the 27-nation bloc could seriously harm Europe’s economy. After the Ukrainian invasion of 2022, the EU had frozen some 200 billion euros ($234.4 billion) of its central bank assets, the majority of which are held by Belgium’s Euroclear, a world-leading deposit company.
