Biden administration races to save billions in Ukraine aid as deadline looms
The effort comes at a high-risk moment for Ukrainian forces, who are advancing into Russia's Kursk region while trying to hold off Russian forces
US President Joe Biden's administration is engaged in urgent discussions with Congress to allow it to use up $6 billion in military aid for Ukraine before a Sept. 30 deadline, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

The effort comes at a high-risk moment for Ukrainian forces, who are advancing into Russia's Kursk region while trying to hold off Russian forces threatening the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk.

The Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), a key component of a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine passed in April, allows the president to transfer defense articles and services from US stocks in response to emergencies.

Ukrainian F-16 fighter jet crashes, pilot killed
Russia launched 200 missiles and drones targeting the energy sector that day.
A Ukrainian F-16 fighter jet crashed while intercepting Russian missiles.

The incident happened on Monday, according to the military of Kiev.

This is the first such damage to Ukraine since the delivery of the US-made warplane in early August.

Ukraine's General Staff said on Facebook on Thursday that the fighter jet crashed while approaching a Russian target. F-16 fighter pilot Oleksii Mays was killed.

Reuters also reported that the F-16 fighter jets "showed high efficiency" and shot down four Russian cruise missiles.

However, a US defense official told Reuters that Monday's plane crash was likely caused by a technical fault rather than a Russian attack.

Kim witnessed the test launch of the rocket launcher
Earlier this week, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un witnessed a new 'suicide drone' test.
North Korea test-launched a new 240mm rocket launcher in the presence of leader Kim Jong-un.

North Korean media KCNA reported on Wednesday that the system proved superior in North Korea's weapon deployment and attack in tests.

Earlier this week, Kim witnessed a new 'suicide drone' test. He then encouraged researchers to develop artificial intelligence systems for unmanned vehicles.
North Korea is accused of helping Moscow with ammunition, missiles and other military equipment in the Ukraine-Russia war. South Korea and the United States have been complaining.

South Korea's Defense Minister Shin Won-sik said this month that North Korea sent more than 12,000 containers of three/four types of ammunition including rockets to Russia from last year to August 4.

Besides, they have also provided dozens of short-range missiles. Russia and North Korea have been denying these allegations. However, the two countries have pledged to deepen their military ties.

Zelensky called Putin a 'sick old man'

The President of Ukraine taunted the Russian President by commenting that a drone named 'Palyanitsya' would take the missile war back to Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has mocked Russian President Vladimir Putin as Moscow's 'sick old man from Red Square'.

Zelensky released a newly invented 'drone missile' on Saturday. Zelensky taunted Putin by commenting that the missile named 'Palyanitsya' would take the war back to Russia.

The drone missile is faster and more powerful than domestically produced drones, Zelensky said of the new weapon, marking 33 years of independence from the Soviet Union.
So far, Ukraine has hit Russian oil refineries and military airfields with domestically produced drones. New drone missiles are more effective than these.

"Our enemies will understand what kind of counter-retaliation Ukraine will have," Zelenskyy said. Ukraine's president says his country's new weapons have been used in attacks on Russian territory. But he did not say where it was used.
"A sick old man in Red Square is regularly threatening everyone to push the red button," Zelensky said in a Telegram video mocking Russia's 71-year-old president and Moscow's nuclear rhetoric. This red button of his cannot give us any more red line guidance.”

In February 2022, Russia launched an invasion of Ukraine. That battle is still going on. Russian forces are still attacking the eastern part of Ukraine and so far they have occupied 18 percent of the Ukrainian territory.
