Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa

Our long-range responses had a very significant impact in the Moscow region last night. One of Russia’s key oil industry facilities and the aggressor’s logistics facility were hit. These are billions of dollars that sustain the war machine. The systems used included FP-1, RZ-100, MICH-2000, Palianytsia, Vendetta, Liutyi, Bars, Flamingo, Sichen, and Pelican. I thank our warriors for their accuracy: the Security Service of Ukraine together with the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the Foreign Intelligence Service. Sanctions were also imposed on a facility in the Voronezh region. Moscow must end its brutal war and choose peace instead of building layered rings of air defense at the expense of other regions. Steps toward de-escalation are on the table – in energy and food security. What is needed is political will. I thank everyone who is strengthening Ukraine’s long-range capabilities. I am grateful to everyone who complements our long-range responses with responses through sanctions. Glory to Ukraine!

Ukraine confirms a major drone strike on a Moscow oil refinery, defying recent claims of a mutual halt to energy infrastructure attacks.

KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS (Eng) @KojiPro2015_EN

You may have seen a recent article that mentions KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS, speculating on the reasons for the change in publishing partners for PHYSINT. Normally, we would not comment on unsubstantiated speculation on the internet, but these aspersions around our relationship with PlayStation, the commercial performance of the DEATH STRANDING franchise, and the broader production planning and investment for PHYSINT, have reached beyond the studio and have touched our fans, our creative partners, and colleagues we have worked alongside with for three decades. None of the claims written came from any official or on-the-record source and as such we encourage you to take them with a dose of scepticism. Make no mistake, this was a serious situation for the studio with a range of potentially significant implications. While we recognise that the article may have caused alarm, we want to reassure you all, for the record: that the studio is in a healthy, profitable state, development for PHYSINT continues to move forward with XBOX, and our relationship with PlayStation remains strong. Thank you for your continued support, KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS

Kojima Productions denies a report that Sony canceled its upcoming espionage game over a Zoom call, calling the claims unsubstantiated.

I asked Hideo Kojima what happened. Sony canceled Physint over a Zoom call. https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/2026/09/20/hideo-kojima-explains-surprise-physint-split-with-sony/

The Washington Post reports that Sony abruptly dropped Hideo Kojima's next major title, sparking a rare public dispute with the studio.

Shameful and disgusting! Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party have stooped to an absolute nadir of moral bankruptcy. Weaponising a student interaction to mock and insult the late mother of PM Shri @narendramodi ji reveals a shocking lack of basic human empathy and political culture. Political opposition should not be reduced to such theatrics or to trading insults against elders and parents. That is not the Indian way. The Leader of Opposition’s position comes with responsibility, yet Rahul Gandhi continues to falter in upholding the dignity of the office and, in the process, brings disrepute to the country. Political battles should be fought on policy and vision, but launching vile personal attacks is not politics. This toxic and abusive mentality is precisely why the public has repeatedly rejected the Congress.

India's ruling party condemns the opposition leader for allegedly mocking the Prime Minister's late mother during a student interaction.

The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter

BREAKING: Ukrainian drones have just struck Russia's Kapotnya oil refinery in Moscow, the city's only refinery with a capacity of around 280,000 barrels per day, in a raid on the capital this morning. This comes only six days after Trump claimed that Ukraine had agreed to stop hitting Russian energy targets, that Russia had agreed likewise, and that the world's diesel price rise "is mostly caused by the Russia/Ukraine War, not Iran."

A Ukrainian strike on a major Moscow oil refinery contradicts Donald Trump's recent claim that both sides agreed to stop targeting energy.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa

Every day and every night, we defend ourselves against Russian strikes. Yesterday, in the Kherson region, the Russians struck a monastery with an FPV drone. Tragically, one member of the monastery clergy was killed and four others were wounded. My condolences to the family and loved ones. There were strikes on critical and civilian infrastructure in the Kharkiv, Sumy, and Odesa regions. In the Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia regions, residential buildings were hit. Since the evening, the Vinnytsia, Kyiv, Zhytomyr, and Cherkasy regions have also come under attack. This week alone, Russia has launched more than 2,000 attack drones against us, most of them jet-powered, as well as 1,700 aerial bombs and 19 missiles of various types. Ukraine is constantly looking for and finding ways to defend itself and respond to these attacks on life. It is important that our partners also look for and find ways to make Russia feel its war. Now is the right moment to take new sanctions steps against the aggressor and force peace through strength. The United States has the means to do this, Europe has them, and so does every G7 country. We are counting on new, strong steps. Thank you to everyone who is helping.

1/ Jev, a decision model by @typesafeai, sparked a burst of projects and discussion. We tested it using Ori Eval against popular LLMs on OpenRouter at judging. Jev was >5x faster than the next fastest model, and even its slowest requests beat every other model's median.

A new decision-making AI model dramatically outperforms competitors in speed, opening the door to faster and more reliable agentic workflows.
