Ukraine's partners announced new air defense, drone and ammunition support. Germany will supply Patriot and F-16 interceptor missiles and buy drones. The UK pledged £100 million through PURL, 95,000 additional drones by year-end and tens of thousands of extended-range artillery shells funded by other countries. The Netherlands committed $300 million to the Drone Line and 300 anti-UAV missiles, while Poland is preparing a €50 million package including air defense. #Ukraine

NEW: Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated Russia’s unwillingness to make any meaningful compromises in the peace negotiations process to end the war in Ukraine. Putin is instead doubling down on the fictional battlefield situation that he defines as “reality” and insisting that his misrepresentation of the actual state of the war become the basis for any peace negotiations on Ukraine. Key Takeaways ⬇️

The lies and distortions of Russian military commanders at many levels are likely leading Putin to harden his perception that Russian forces can achieve his intended objectives in Donetsk Oblast by the end of 2026 and thus that he need not make any compromises in his aims.

Russia is failing to achieve its battlefield objectives in reality, however, and is specifically failing in its priority objective of seizing the remainder of Donetsk Oblast by the end of 2026.

Russian forces will not seize Donetsk Oblast until 2032 at their current rate of advance — if they can seize it at all.

ISW is not prepared to assess that Russian forces will be able to take the rest of Donetsk Oblast on any timeline, however.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and former Senior Advisor to the US President Jared Kushner in Kyiv City on September 6 and agreed on fundamental principles for ending the war in Ukraine, including security and economic guarantees for post-war Ukraine.

Putin’s demands transcend Donbas, as both his 2024 speech (to which Russian officials constantly allude) and Russia’s military operations demonstrate.

Ukrainian forces continued their long-range strike campaign against Russian oil infrastructure and the suppression and destruction of enemy air defenses (SEAD/DEAD) campaign in Rostov Oblast on the night of September 5 to 6.

❗️Ukraine has received and deployed its first RCH 155 self-propelled howitzer, according to an independent confirmation by GAU after years of delivery delays. Germany has ordered 54 RCH 155s for Ukraine in three batches of 18, worth EUR890 million. The highly automated 155mm/L52 system carries 30 rounds, can engage targets at ranges of up to about 70 km depending on ammunition and is capable of firing while moving under certain conditions. #Ukraine

🇷🇺 According to the leaks, the russian secretive Department No. 4 of Bauman University functions as a military cyber force-generation pipeline. Something like a "GRU hacker school". The curriculum combines offensive and defensive cyber.

The first three things that spring to mind:
▪️Russia appears to be training a substantial body of personnel for integrating cyber effects into military planning from the scale of the Information-Technical Effects programme. This is interesting since these are no groups of IT experts operating in isolation, struggling to integrate tactical and operational aspects.
▪️On the other hand, and from a purely academic point of view, it seems to be a good programme, with a clear progression of students into operational roles
▪️This type of structure raises dilemmas when it comes to justifying strategic fires. To what extent does the legality of war justify a UA attack on these facilities?

Russia’s state-TV “election debates” have descended into farce.

At one debate, no candidates showed up. One candidate spent his airtime in silence, while another sang songs. When a rare candidate challenged Putin’s party to a real debate, the broadcast was abruptly cut.

NEW: Russian sources falsely and baselessly claimed that Russian forces encircled 2,000 Ukrainian forces northeast of Kharkiv City.

Other Key Takeaways:

Russian forces attempted to assassinate Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) head Oleksandr Poklad with a Geran-type drone strike on September 4.

The Russian Geran drone platform adaptations are improving their ability to conduct successful high-precision strikes.

The Kremlin’s behavior indicates Russia’s unwillingness to guarantee the safety of the US delegation during their reported upcoming visit to Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin appears committed to his existing expensive and inefficient force generation mechanism through volunteer recruitment.

Russia’s expedited efforts to establish its Rassvet satellite constellation as a replacement for Starlink are facing significant challenges which may degrade the constellation’s lifespan.

Ukrainian forces continued their long-range strike campaign against Russian military, oil, and defense-industrial infrastructure on September 3 and 4. Russian forces launched one Kh-31P anti-radar missile and 121 drones against Ukraine overnight.

Ukrainian forces advanced in the Dobropillya tactical area.

Zelensky says Russia deliberately struck Kyiv and Boryspil airports overnight, calling the attacks a response to discussions about US representatives potentially flying into Ukraine. He said Ukraine recorded the move and will adjust its operation concerning Russian airspace next week, while stressing Kyiv poses no threat to diplomacy. The same overnight attack killed four people and wounded five in Kamianske, while homes and shopping centers were damaged in several regions. #Ukraine

Fighters of the 23rd Assault Regiment "R.U.H." continue to liberate territory between Dvorichne and Zapadne in the Kupyansk direction. In the video, 4 km² were liberated during the operation. Overall, the regiment's fighters have recently managed to liberate 13.5 km² of territory in this area.

Zelensky says Ukraine is accelerating development of high-speed interceptor drones designed to counter jet-powered Shaheds. Ukrainian manufacturers have developed prototypes and are working to bring the new weapons to the required level of effectiveness. Ukraine also aims to expand production of cheap missiles and involve businesses in air defense systems. Zelensky said intelligence has clear information on Russian plans and that corresponding asymmetric operations have been approved. #Ukraine

MORE 🧵(1/3) ⬇️ Putin stated during a press conference on September 1 that Russian forces are increasing the pace of their offensive in Ukraine and that the seizure of Donetsk Oblast is proceeding as planned. Putin claimed that Russian forces seized 15 settlements equal to 270 square kilometers in Donetsk Oblast in August 2026. Putin claimed that Russian forces are between one-and-a-half and four kilometers from the eastern outskirts of Slovyansk and Kramatorsk and southern Druzhkivka. Available open-source evidence does not support Putin’s claims, however. ISW has observed evidence to assess that Russian forces seized 73.14 square kilometers and advanced and infiltrated into 104.44 square kilometers of Donetsk Oblast in August 2026. ISW has observed evidence to assess that Russian forces consolidated positions in or seized only 90.35 square kilometers across the entire theater in August 2026. Putin has issued no fewer than 15 separate deadlines for Russian forces to seize the entirety of Donetsk Oblast, none of which Russian forces have met.

🇺🇸🇵🇱🇺🇦 US trains Polish military in scenarios based on Ukraine’s experience — AP.

American Green Berets have developed a new training program taking into account the challenges of modern warfare that Ukrainian military personnel face in their confrontation with Russia. Special emphasis is placed on the experience of using drones.

The program attempts to recreate the conditions and factors that Ukraine and Russia are forced to take into account on the battlefield.

This is the first time such training has been conducted by a NATO ally. The US expects that the military of most or even all 32 Alliance countries will join it.

[🪖MilitaryNewsUA🇺🇦 @front_ukrainian]

❗️Ukraine’s Defense Minister Yevhenii Khmara said the country already has four potential interceptors against Russian jet-powered Shahed-type drones. All of them have undergone field trials. The main task now is to quickly bring these solutions to the required standard and launch mass production of thousands of units, as the number of jet drones in Russian strikes continues to grow. One of the already known solutions is the jet interceptor Alexa Spatium. The existence of four field-tested systems at once shows that Ukraine is forming a distinct class of air-defense assets specifically against high-speed targets.
