Zelenskyy tells Finnish prime minister about Drone Line project
Source: Zelenskyy on X, as reported by European Pravda
Details: During the meeting, they discussed defence support for Ukraine, cooperation within the shelter coalition and EU membership.
"The most important thing is investment in Ukrainian weapons production and co-production. I told him about our Drone Line project, which has already proven its effectiveness. We discussed how it could be scaled up," Zelenskyy said.
He also told the Finnish prime minister about his expectations from the meeting with the Russian delegation taking place in Istanbul.
"We expect real results from today's meeting in Istanbul: a ceasefire, a prisoner exchange, the return of children and a meeting at the leadership level," Zelenskyy emphasised.
Background:
In the spring of this year, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a large-scale project called Drone Line, initiated by the Ukrainian president. Its goal is to develop the best unmanned systems units and scale their combat experience in the defence forces.
The project involves creating a network of specialised units that will receive modern equipment, necessary resources and specialists.
Zelensky is participating in the Bucharest Nine summit in Vilnius.
During the summit, Zelenskyy told his colleagues that the Security Service of Ukraine's Spider Web operation demonstrated that Ukraine is capable of effective tactical decisions in the war with Russia and is capable of inflicting significant losses on the Russian Armed Forces, forcing it to consider diplomacy.

Comey's ex-media whisperer can't remember if he leaked classified info to shape Russiagate narrative
A 'close friend' of former FBI Director James Comey, who served as his de facto media whisperer to help shape media narratives during Russiagate, said he couldn't be completely sure he didn't leak classified intelligence to the press, new documents show. Daniel Richman, who is now a Columbia University law professor, fessed up to repeatedly talking to journalists, seeking 'to correct stories critical of Comey, the FBI and to shape future press coverage,' he told the FBI in 2019. Richman, who became friends with Comey during their time working together in the Southern District of New York, admitted to speaking with New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt, in particular. Advertisement At one point in early 2017, Richman had a discussion with Schmidt, who mentioned unspecified classified information and 'knew more about it than he did,' an FBI memo obtained by The Post said. 'Richman was pretty sure he did not confirm the Classified Information. However, Richman told the interviewing agents he was sure 'with a discount' that he did not tell Schmidt about the Classified Information. Richman did not know who gave Schmidt the Classified Information.' 4 Daniel Richman cautiously downplayed concerns that he may have confirmed classified intelligence to a NYT reporter. Bloomberg via Getty Images Advertisement 4 The tranche of FBI documents reveals how James Comey's allies quietly worked to shape media narratives during Russiagate. Getty Images While the memo, first reported by Just the News, didn't specify the classified information discussed, it previously said Comey mentioned to Richman that the bureau had 'weird classified material related' to then-US Attorney General Lorretta Lynch. Lynch infamously met with Bill Clinton on the tarmac in 2016, just over a week before Comey announced he wasn't recommending charges against Hillary Clinton. 'Richman understood the information could be used to suggest Lynch might not be impartial with regards of the conclusion of the Midyear Exam investigation,' the FBI memo said before describing Richman's talk with Schmidt. Advertisement 'Richman understood the information about Lynch was highly classified and it should be protected.' The FBI memo in question comes from the bureau's 'Arctic Haze' investigation, a probe into the leaking of classified information that began in August 2017 in response to the 'unauthorized disclosure of classified information in eight articles published between April and June 2017.' Arctic Haze dealt with four of those stories specifically. The FBI memos on Arctic Haze were among the tranche of documents Director Kash Patel's team delivered to Congress earlier this week. One of Schmidt's articles cited by the FBI in its Arctic Haze probe was a piece that pointed to the existence of a document that seemed to 'raise questions about her [Lynch's] independence.' Advertisement That document, which was reportedly obtained in the aftermath of Russian hacking, revealed that a Democratic operative was remarkably confident Lynch wouldn't let the probe into Hillary Clinton go too far. The FBI files did not make it clear whether the document regarding Lynch was the classified information discussed between Richman and Schmidt referenced during his questioning. Schmidt had used Richman as a source for stories since at least 2008 and even visited his house on multiple occasions, the memo said. Richman was quoted in some stories during the height of Russiagate, but the FBI memo made clear he fed even more information to reporters anonymously. 4 President Trump's team has begun unearthing key Russiagate documents to share with the public. Notably, Schmidt, who is married to MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace, broke the story that Comey claimed President Trump directed him to quash a probe into Michael Flynn over his lobbying deal with Turkey. That story, coupled with Trump's May 9, 2017, firing of Comey, led to the Justice Department appointing former special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate allegations of Russian collusion and whether the president obstructed justice. Richman is known to have leaked Comey's memos on his behalf about Trump's alleged instructions on the Flynn investigation. Comey later admitted he hoped that leak 'might prompt the appointment of a special counsel.' Former DOJ inspector general Michael Horowitz previously blasted the leak of the 'Comey Memos' in his scathing report of the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane inquiry into whether there were ties between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia. Advertisement 4 James Comey admitted to trying to spark the Mueller probe during the first Trump administration. Getty Images In 2015, Comey pushed the FBI to hire Richman as a special government employee and give him 'a Top Secret clearance.' 'Richman opined Comey took comfort in the fact Richman had talked to the press about his feelings regarding Comey's handling and decision-making on the Midyear Exam investigation,' the FBI memo said. 'Richman claimed Comey never asked him to talk to the media.' Advertisement Ultimately, the FBI ended its leak investigation in September 2021, and the DOJ declined to prosecute anyone over the sharing of classified information with reporters. The batch of files that Patel turned over to Congress this week also revealed the existence of other whimsically-named leak probes such as Riding Hood, Sirens Lure, Tropic Vortex, Foggy Falls, Echos Fate, and Genetic Christmas.

Trump-Putin summit spotlights Alaska's strategic importance, vulnerability
Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson is a prime midway rest stop for dignitaries on the route from Washington to eastern Asia. WASHINGTON − The summit meeting between President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin will focus on ending Putin's war in Ukraine, with Alaska's awesome beauty and vulnerabilities as its backdrop. The two world leaders will meet at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, the post that crowns Anchorage to its south. It's an installation that teems with airmen and soldiers − plenty of moose and bears, too, befitting its location on the edge of Alaska's vast stretches of black spruce-fringed wilderness. Cold, dark and snowy in the winter, the base gets near round-the-clock sun at summer's peak. It's a prime midway rest stop for dignitaries, like presidents and cabinet secretaries, on the route from Washington to eastern Asia. The flight from the East Coast to the southern coast of Alaska takes roughly eight hours, about the limit for air crews before mandated rest, and a convenient, secure location to refuel. Long before air travel and a superpower summit, U.S. and Russian leaders haggled over Alaska. In 1867, Secretary of State William Seward secretly negotiated with Russian officials to buy the territory of Alaska for $7.2 million. Derided at the time as Seward's Folly, the deal worked out for the Americans. Alaska – its people, awesome landscape and enormous natural resources – joined the union in 1959. Before statehood, the Army established the base that would become Elmendorf-Richardson in 1940 during the runup to World War II. Since then, soldiers and airmen along with smaller contingents from the Navy and Marine Corps have called the base home. In all, the joint base hosts about 30,000 service members, their family members and civilian employees. Its key location – near Russia and close to Arctic resources eyed by China – has made Elmendorf-Richardson and other Alaskan military installations increasingly valuable to the Pentagon. More personnel and money have been streaming into Alaska in recent years to bolster northern defenses. The base takes part in some of the military's most intricate annual war games, featuring sophisticated weapons like the F-22 fighter. Alaska is the land of superlatives. The state is more than twice the size of Texas; its 46,000 miles of shoreline are more than the lower 48 states combined; Denali's snow-capped peak towers over the interior at more than 20,000 feet. Brown and black bears, moose and wolves, roam tundra and black spruce forests. Temperatures routinely drop to 50 degrees below zero in the interior, where Fort Wainwright sits on the edge of Fairbanks. Dim sunlight smudges skies for only a few hours in the depth of winter. Cabin fever can be very real. In the summer, it truly is the Land of the Midnight Sun. Perpetual daylight has its downside, disrupting sleep, leading to irritability – and worse. Alaska routinely ranks among the nation's leaders in alcohol abuse and suicide. In recent years, Alaska's strategic, remote location has exposed its vulnerabilities. Suicide among soldiers spiked to alarming levels. Reporting by USA TODAY revealed a shortage of mental personnel to help them. The Army and Congress intervened, dispatching dozens of counselors and spending millions to improve living conditions for troops there. Suicide rates declined. Efforts by Chinese spies to gain access to Alaskan bases hasn't, however, USA TODAY has reported. The bases contain some of the military's top-end weaponry, sophisticated radars to track potential attacks on the homeland and missiles to intercept them. Russia, too, regularly probes America's northern flank. As recently as July, 22 the North American Aerospace Defense Command detected Russian warplanes operating in the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone. When aircraft enter the zone, they must be identified for national security purposes. The Russian planes remained in international airspace, a tactic they employ regularly. Mildly provocative, the flights are noted by NORAD but not considered a threat. Meanwhile, global warming has thawed permafrost beneath runways and rising water levels have damaged coastal facilities requiring remediation costing tens of millions of dollars. A skeptic of climate change, Trump could view for himself its effects, including cemeteries eroded by rising sea levels disgorging coffins of flu and smallpox victims from more than a century ago. The potential release of ancient pathogens from melting permafrost has captured the Pentagon's attention, too. Alas, Alaska may have been Putin's last, best choice for a summit. His brutal, unprovoked invasion of neighboring Ukraine has made him an international pariah. Denied entry into Europe, he and Trump could not repeat their summit in Helsinki, the capital of Finland that is now a member of NATO − due mainly to the invasion. Luckily for Putin and Trump, Anchorage is a delightful city, cool in midsummer and far from the death and destruction Putin he has wrought in Ukraine.

Vice President J.D. Vance met with U.S. airmen at the Royal Air Force Base Fairford on Wednesday ahead of President Donald Trump's highly anticipated meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday. According to Fox News, Vance visited the Royal Air Force Base Fairford, which houses the U.S. Air Force's 501st Combat Support Wing and the 99th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron, after holding multiple meetings with America's allies in Europe. Fox News reported that a U.S. official confirmed that the vice president met with U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy and that the meeting resulted in 'significant progress' regarding a potential end to the war in Ukraine. Addressing U.S. Airmen in the United Kingdom on Wednesday, Vance said, 'The president of the United States came in six months ago, and I just talked to him right before I came on the stage, and he said very simply that we are going to make it our mission as an administration to bring peace to Europe once again.' The vice president claimed that it is 'impossible' to achieve peace anywhere in the world unless 'the bad guys are also worried that we've got a hell of a fine Air Force and a hell of a fine military to back up the peace to begin with.'

You make it possible for us to accomplish the president's goals through negotiation,' Vance added. 'You make it possible for us to go into a room and say, yes, we want peace. Yes, we want to work together. Yes, we'd like to bring an end to this terrible conflict, but we've also got some great airmen back at Fairford and other bases. They're going to make sure that no matter what happens, the peace and the prosperity and the goals of the American people are going to be well served by what you do.' The vice president told the U.S. airmen at Fairford that the president is planning to try to bring an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine during his meeting with Putin on Friday in Anchorage, Alaska. 'You guys make that possible,' Vance said. 'You guys are the reason why we can go into a negotiation with strength. You guys are the reason why we have leverage in these conversations with world leaders, because they know that if we cut a deal, it is backed up by the finest fighting force anywhere in the world.' VP Vance speaks to US airmen in the UK following peace meetings: 'You guys are the reason why we can go into a negotiation with strength…Nothing that we do as an administration is possible without the hard work, the courage and the skill that you guys bring.' — Vice President JD Vance (@VP) August 13, 2025 In a video on X, formerly Twitter, the vice president can be seen greeting multiple airmen at the Fairford base on Wednesday.
