German authorities have identified two suspects — a Latvian citizen and a Russian citizen from Belarus — in the attempted drone attack on Leipzig/Halle airport that Germany has formally attributed to Russia.

On 3 September, US President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social claiming the United States has practically unlimited medium- and high-class ammunition stockpiles and is producing at record volumes. He said the US is currently keeping munitions for itself but will resume sales to allies soon, accused the Biden administration of having given Ukraine more ammunition than the US used in Iran, and said the US will demand reimbursement from Europe for hundreds of billions of dollars previously provided free of charge to Ukraine and NATO. The post also attacked media coverage of US ammunition shortages during the Iran war.

Trump says ready to meet Putin, but only when Russia and Ukraine are ready to conclude a peace deal
On 2 September 2025, US President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House that he is willing to hold a new summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but only once Russia and Ukraine are ready to conclude a peace agreement. He said he could organise the meeting "immediately" but wants to wait, and again blamed personal hostility between Presidents Zelensky and Putin as the main obstacle to a deal. The remarks came amid a broader US push that included CIA Director John Ratcliffe's late-August trip to Moscow and a G20 meeting between US and Russian finance ministers.
