Russian forces have taken control of the town of Shandrigolovo in eastern Ukraine, while the Kremlin stated that supplying Ukraine with long-range American missiles “will not change the reality on the ground, nor save Kyiv,” following U.S. statements that Washington will sell missiles to Europe to provide to Kyiv. The Ukrainian president called for building a joint air defense shield with European allies.

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced control over Shandrigolovo in Donetsk, inflicting 1,560 casualties on the enemy and continuing advances on all fronts within 24 hours, along with destroying a drone maintenance site.

Authorities in the Russian Belgorod region are restoring electricity and hot water after Ukrainian strikes caused widespread outages. A drone attack caused a fire in a town near Moscow, killing a child and his grandmother.

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance said the administration is considering supplying NATO countries with “Tomahawk” missiles to then transfer to Kyiv, noting the final decision rests with President Trump. U.S. envoy to Ukraine Keith Kellogg told Fox News that Ukraine striking deep into Russian territory with American weapons is a “possible scenario.”

The range of Tomahawk cruise missiles is 2,500 kilometers, capable of carrying up to 450 kilograms of explosives, with each missile costing about two million dollars.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Russia is carefully analyzing these statements, adding that no magic weapon can change the frontline situation in Kyiv’s favor now, whether Tomahawks or other missiles.

The Ukrainian president, speaking via video at the Warsaw Security Forum, expressed Kyiv’s desire to build a joint air defense shield in cooperation with European partners to protect against Russian threats.

France joined other European countries in sending anti-drone equipment to Denmark to ensure the security of the EU summit held amid mysterious drone flights.

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on Monday that Russia likely sent the drones detected over several Scandinavian airports, ahead of the EU summit in Copenhagen. He told TV4: “The possibility that this is related to Russia wanting to send a message to countries supporting Ukraine is very high,” but added, “No one really knows.” He confirmed that drones entering Polish airspace earlier in September were Russian. “Everything points to Russia,” he said, but countries are cautious about blaming without certainty. Poland confirmed the incident.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán downplayed the significance of Hungarian drones flying over Ukrainian airspace, while affirming that Ukraine lacks full sovereignty due to its dependence on the West.
