Moscow would need to commit ‘honestly and on a long-term basis’ to peace before Kyiv would de-escalate. What we know on day 1,665Ukraine will only halt attacks on Russian energy targets if the enemy does likewise and the US guarantees it, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. The announcement came after Donald Trump’s uncorroborated claim that both sides have agreed to such a ceasefire. Neither Ukraine nor Russia had said so at time of writing. The US president regularly claims to have brokered what turn out to be nonexistent or extremely shortlived deals between foreign adversaries or with his own overseas enemies, such as Iran.Ukraine’s president said: “So far, no one has seen any genuine willingness on Russia’s part to bring the war to an end. But if our American partners can secure Russia’s genuine readiness to end the war aimed at destroying lives, and to do so honestly and on a long-term basis, Ukraine will take its own de-escalatory steps.” Russia would need to stop attacking Ukraine’s critical infrastructure for its intentions to be taken seriously, Zelenskyy suggested.It comes after Trump tried to blame diesel shortages and high prices on Ukraine’s strikes on Russian oil refineries. The main cause is Trump’s own war on Iran – the retaliation for which has crippled the trade in Middle East oil. Russia has banned diesel exports to address dire shortages at home caused by Ukraine’s attacks. But those exports comprise only a fraction of global supply, and the situation most directly affects neighbouring countries such as those in central Asia like Mongolia that rely heavily on supplies from Russian producers.A Nato fighter jet shot down a drone in Lithuania shortly after midnight on Tuesday, the national crisis management centre said. The drone, which likely entered from Belarus, was shot down near Pratkunai village in southern Lithuania, near Kaunas, the second-largest city, the centre’s spokesperson said. Its origin was yet to be determined at time of writing. A drone alert was issued earlier in the capital, Vilnius, and surrounding region.A Russian attack on a farming warehouse killed three people in the town of Pryluky in Ukraine’s northern Chernihiv region, regional police said. Seven others were injured.Prosecutors in Germany have charged a German-Ukrainian woman with acting on behalf of Russian intelligence. The woman, identified as Ilona W in line with German privacy rules, is accused of being in contact with an intelligence officer at the Russian embassy in Berlin since at least October 2023. The defendant ran a marketing agency in Berlin and chaired a lobbying group, using these networks to get the intelligence officer into high-profile events, and to try to recruit German defence officials and industry figures.A member of the UK armed forces was killed in a crash in Ukraine on Saturday, Britain’s defence ministry said. It is understood the incident was not a result of hostile action, writes Priya Bharadia. A small number of British personnel in Ukraine provide security to diplomats and support the Ukrainian armed forces.Volodymyr Zelenskyy has formally dismissed Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Ruslan Kravchenko, whose office is embroiled in a bribery scandal. Zelenskyy announced the sacking in a government decree. Kravchenko – who has denied the allegations, but resigned on 7 September – posted that he is now outside Ukraine and has started legal action against the head of the national anti-corruption bureau, Nabu, accusing him of “falsifying official documents”. Nabu investigators raided the prosecutor general’s offices and said they had uncovered a network that made payments in return for protecting fraudulent call centres that had “laundered fortunes”.

WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said Monday it is repealing rules that limit planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants fueled by coal and natural gas and announced it is taking a separate but related step to prevent future administrations from regulating climate pollution from power plants. The rule change, first proposed last year, represents a fundamental shift from efforts by Democratic Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama to address climate change and regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that trap the sun’s heat. Environmental groups decried the change, saying it would come at a cost to Americans' health and further degrade the environment. Revoking the Biden-era power plant rule would save industry more than $300 billion in costs and help “unleash” American energy, the EPA said. The change will allow utilities to “make the best decision for the ratepayers based on cost and cost savings, instead of being required to shut down facilities,'' said EPA Assistant Administrator Aaron Szabo. The power plant rule, to take effect
The Central Electricity Authority estimates that India will need ₹7.36 trillion to develop 122.77GW of pumped storage capacity over 87 projects. This investment is crucial for achieving 500GW of non-fossil fuel power by 2030 and enhancing grid stability as renewable energy sources grow.
President Trump recently blamed Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries for causing a spike in diesel prices, but analysts say the Iran war is probably a bigger factor.

NEW YORK — A selloff in U.S. government bonds is pushing up borrowing costs, which could squeeze households, companies, financial markets and the federal budget alike. Here is a look at what has driven this trend, and its impact on consumers, companies, the U.S. government and global markets. Why have yields been rising? Investors point to several forces behind the move, which has sent the 30-year yield to its highest mark in nearly two decades: mounting government borrowing that markets must absorb, resilient economic growth, inflation risks from Middle East energy disruptions and the potential for the U.S. Federal Reserve to keep interest rates higher. There are also growing questions about foreign appetite for U.S. debt, with some foreign investors showing signs of diversifying away from Treasuries. Heavy corporate borrowing for data centers and AI-related investment has increased competition for investor capital. Some also see a potential "bond vigilante" moment in which investors sell Treasuries to push back against fiscal or monetary policy, though skeptics say today's bond market

Green Mountain employs natural cooling at Norwegian data centres, using cold fjord water and ambient air. This approach significantly reduces the energy needed for server cooling operations. At one site, 8°C fjord water cools equipment through a heat exchanger. Another facility uses outside air for cooling, achieving 330 days of free cooling annually. These methods improve energy efficiency and lower the overall power usage effectiveness.

explicare.deWASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that Ukraine and Russia had agreed not to target each other's energy facilities, a day after he chastised Kyiv for hitting Russian oil refineries. "Ukraine has agreed not to hit Russian Energy targets. Russia has agreed to do, likewise!" Trump said on his Truth Social network. "The World's Diesel price rise is mostly caused by the Russia/Ukraine War, not Iran." There was no immediate confirmation from Kyiv or Moscow of any deal. Trump's claim comes as oil prices continue to soar in the seventh month of the Iran war, raising American fuel costs and inflation just weeks before crunch U.S. midterm elections. The U.S. leader has insisted that the Iran war will finish immediately after the midterms and gas prices will drop — but has in the meantime apparently found a new target to blame for the cost at the pump. Trump had lashed out at Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky during a trip to Ireland on Sunday, saying he had to do "one thing" and "stop knocking out diesel fuel" refineries in Russia due to growing shortages. "Let him go afte
