The Carpathian Initiative Is About the Future and Development, and Its Youth Dimension Is an Important Part of It – The President at the Carpathian Initiative Youth Congress

19 September 2026 – 22:05

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with participants of the Youth Congress of the Carpathian Integration Initiative (CII), held today in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. Around 250 young people from the Carpathian regions of Ukraine, Romania, Hungary, Czechia, Slovakia, Poland, and Austria took part in the event.

“I’m very glad that we have this kind of youth engagement, because the Carpathian Initiative is about the future and development. And development is first and foremost about strong, vibrant, energetic people – our young people. So it is clear that youth is an important part of the Carpathian Initiative,” the Head of State said.

During the conversation, the President spoke about Ukraine’s relations with its neighbors, particularly Poland and Hungary. The Head of State emphasized that Ukraine and Poland are friends because, above all, they share common values. According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, developing joint production, making mutual investments, and taking part in Ukraine’s post-war recovery will bring the two countries even closer. In the President’s view, it is important to build as many bridges as possible with Hungary to bring our countries closer, both at the political level and at the level of people-to-people ties.

The participants also discussed national communities and issues relevant to all countries of the Carpathian region. The Head of State believes that people should be proud that their country is home to many different communities, each of which makes its own cultural, historical, and linguistic contribution.

“We need to work to ensure that there are no problems for national minorities in Ukraine or for Ukrainians who are now minorities in other countries, in our neighboring countries. Because these are the same challenges, the same issues,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.

The participants also discussed the return home of young Ukrainians who left the country because of the war. Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that whether to return or not is a personal choice for each individual. But, in the President’s view, the opportunity to return will depend on security, the economy, and love for Ukraine.

“Security and the economy are priorities. When the war ends, I’m confident that people will return. It will depend on how they were raised, on parents who made sure their children did not forget Ukraine. And, of course, it will depend on rebuilding the country, the conditions for doing business, and jobs – on whether people can find themselves, find a place for themselves. The war came, and everyone made their own choice. This was especially true in the first days of the war. And I think each person will likewise make their own choice in the first days after the war ends. Everyone needs to work to bring the war to an end,” the Head of State said.

The participants also discussed favorable government programs that help young people purchase their own homes. According to the President, Ukraine has many such programs for students, young families, Ukraine’s defenders and veterans, and their families. It is important for the Cabinet of Ministers to communicate more actively about these programs. Work is also underway to increase the number of places in student dormitories and improve living conditions there. The Government has already adopted a program to restore student dormitories, and the Ministry of Education and Science must now work with local communities to implement it.

From UAWire:

On September 17, 2026, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk addressed the Sejm, warning of escalating hybrid threats from Russia and a sharp increase in Ukrainian losses due to new Russian strike tactics. According to Tusk, Ukraine is reportedly losing 27,000 soldiers per month—a figure he called a “grim record.” His comments came a day after a Russian drone struck a train just two kilometers from the border. The full video and transcript of Tusk’s remarks on the war in Ukraine were posted on the Polish parliament’s portal.

Tusk said he received the casualty data directly from Ukrainian officials. He attributed the rising losses to the deployment of new rocket-powered drones by the Russian armed forces and their increasingly active use. “The new Russian strategy—above all, new technical capabilities, in other words, kamikaze drones—means significantly higher losses for the Ukrainians,” Tusk said. “Our Ukrainian partners informed me that recently 27,000 people have died every month, which is, unfortunately, an all-time record in this war in the saddest possible sense.”

Tusk’s speech also addressed broader Russian threats to Ukraine, Poland, and the rest of Europe. He said the information on Ukrainian losses was based on intelligence reports. The coming late autumn and winter of 2026-2027 will be a “critical period for the entire Russian-Ukrainian war,” he said. The main threat will come from rocket-powered drones—which he described as faster and flying at higher altitudes—as well as ballistic missile attacks. In response to the missile threat, Poland is joining the Anti-Ballistic Coalition.

According to Tusk, the Kremlin will focus strikes on six major Ukrainian cities, though he did not specify which, and will target railways—an estimated 300 locomotives have reportedly been destroyed in recent weeks—and warehouses holding critical defense supplies. Tusk said Russia’s aim is “to block supply lines, destroy road and rail crossings, and disrupt border operations.” He added that Moscow is also conducting “chaotic” hybrid attacks in Europe “to undermine NATO and cast doubt on the reliability of protection under Article 5.”

On September 16, Polish media reported that the Polish government held a meeting in response to a heightened threat of attack from Russia.

Here’s the full video of Tusk’s address to the Sejm:

From The Department of Justice’s Office of Public Affairs:

Members of Russian Intelligence Services Network Charged with Conspiring to Finance Terrorism and Commit Murder for Hire in the United States

Tuesday, September 15, 2026

The Department of Justice announced today the unsealing of charges against five individuals working for the intelligence services of the Russian Federation to conduct attacks and murders around the world, including in the United States. As detailed in the unsealed indictment, the network is alleged to have, among other things, paid and attempted to pay individuals within the United States and elsewhere to conduct pre-operational surveillance and carry out targeted killings, and commissioned associates to commit and attempt to commit acts of terrorism against civilian and military infrastructure in European countries that are aligned, or perceived to be aligned, with Ukraine. The defendants remain at large.

“It is our job to stop America’s adversaries from unleashing violence and terror on American soil,” said Attorney General Todd Blanche. “And that’s precisely what we are doing thanks to the work of the FBI and our Justice Department prosecutors.”

“The charges announced reveal an alleged plot by the Russian intelligence services to murder a dissident on U.S. soil for daring to speak out against the Russian government,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “As alleged in the indictment, this plot exposes the lengths to which our adversaries will go to silence its critics and illustrates the grave threat transnational repression poses to the lives and freedoms of all who challenge authoritarian regimes. The FBI is committed to defending the free speech of everyone within our homeland and will not tolerate any attempts by foreign governments to violate our laws and threaten our freedoms.”

“These defendants allegedly operated as part of a global assassination network that reached into the United States, attempting to recruit U.S. citizens and foreigners to carry out killings at the behest of the Kremlin,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg. “Actions like these represent a gross violation of our sovereignty and a threat to our national security. We will stamp out any foreign intelligence services’ attempt to operate freely in our great Nation, and we will not rest until they and their enablers suffer the most severe consequences that federal law can levy.”

“We will not tolerate efforts to finance terrorist activities and engage in acts of violence — particularly when these activities are commissioned by state actors and touch American soil,” said U.S. Attorney Jamie McDonald for the Southern District of New York. “As alleged, the defendants, working for the intelligence services of Russia, conspired to cause destruction and mayhem around the world, including right here in the United States. The Russian-led network charged in today’s indictment is brazen, aggressive, and far-reaching, and the charges levied against the defendants should send a clear message: no matter where you are, and no matter who you work for, we will investigate and prosecute you for your crimes. I thank our partners at the FBI who work tirelessly to protect our communities and am grateful that our law enforcement partners neutralized this deadly and outrageous threat.”

“As alleged in this indictment, members of the Russian Intelligence Services and their affiliates conspired to intimidate, threaten, or murder people on U.S. soil and around the world,” said Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI New York Field Office James C. Barnacle Jr. “The FBI disrupted this operation through relentless work and rock-solid partnership. The FBI is committed to confronting transnational repression wherever it occurs and protecting those targeted for exercising their fundamental rights. We thank the multiple FBI Field Offices and the U.S. Attorney’s Office whose coordination and commitment made this disruption possible.”

“The charges announced today represent the culmination of extraordinary work by multiple FBI field offices, components, and partner agencies that collectively disrupted Russia’s attempts to conduct violent acts in our nation’s capital and throughout the United States,” said Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI Washington Field Office Darren B. Cox. “When this threat was identified, the Washington Field Office and our partners moved quickly to disrupt the plot and hold the Russian government accountable for its actions. Our message is clear: any foreign intelligence service that attempts to direct violence inside the United States will face an unrelenting and coordinated response from the FBI and our partners to protect the homeland.”

As reflected in the indictment unsealed today:

Since at least 2024, a network of individuals working for the intelligence services of the Russian Federation (the “RIS Network”) has conspired to conduct and conducted attacks and murders around the world, including within the United States. The RIS Network is one arm of the Russian Federation’s apparatus to carry out external attacks, including murder, and has focused on Russian dissidents and defectors and, most recently, on nations perceived as allies of Ukraine. Most recently, members of the RIS Network have attempted to recruit multiple individuals within the United States to carry out pre-operational surveillance and murder within this country.

Three of the defendants are high-ranking members of the RIS Network. Those three defendants are: Yuri Khrameev, also known as “Colonel Yuri,” 63, of Russia, a former colonel in the Russian intelligence services who has participated in the recruitment of multiple individuals to commit murder against perceived Russian dissidents; Kirill Khrameev, 27, of Russia, an officer in the Federal Security Service of Russia (FSB) and Yuri Khrameev’s son; and Oemis Romagoza Durruthy, 35, a Cuban national who is an influential member of the Cuban diaspora living in Russia who has coordinated attacks for the RIS Network. Two additional members of the RIS Network who are charged in the indictment are Yaidel Delgado Suarez, also known as “Viking,” 35, of Cuba, who is a prolific recruiter for the RIS Network and who has recruited or attempted to recruit multiple individuals in the United States; and Angel Eduardo Castro, 22, of Venezuela, who participated with Suarez in the recruitment of U.S.-based individuals to surveil and attempt to murder a prominent U.S.-based Russian dissident (Victim-1).

The RIS Network has allegedly carried out or conspired to carry out multiple schemes around the world. Most recently, this summer, the RIS Network recruited an individual based in the United States (U.S. Resident-1) to surveil and murder a prominent Russian dissident they believed to be residing in the United States. Among other things, Suarez sent U.S. Resident-1 two locations associated with Victim-1 to surveil; provided U.S. Resident-1 with explicit instructions on how to conduct surveillance; and promised U.S. Resident-1 between $1,000 and $1,500 dollars to carry out the pre-operational surveillance. In turn, U.S. Resident-1 conducted the requested surveillance and passed back to Suarez multiple photographs and videos of locations associated with Victim-1. Suarez and Castro further offered U.S. Resident-1 $40,000 to “eliminate” or “disappear” Victim-1 and, when U.S. Resident-1told them that he did not want to carry out the murder by his own hand, asked U.S. Resident-1 if he knew “someone [who] can do the work.” Suarez also told U.S. Resident-1 that he had “people in Mexico” who could otherwise carry out the murder, but they were delayed in doing so. In addition, Suarez attempted to recruit multiple other individuals within the United States to conduct pre-operational surveillance and murder Victim-1 and other potential targets within the United States and offered them substantial sums of money to carry out the targeting of the U.S. based victims.

The alleged attempted murder of Victim-1 is the latest in the RIS Network’s efforts. Last year, as alleged in the indictment, the RIS Network solicited a U.S. Citizen (U.S. Citizen-1) to surveil and murder an individual located in Lithuania (Victim-2) who the RIS Network described as a “bad guy” who was “telling lies about Russia.” Kirill Khrameev first recruited U.S. Citizen-1 to travel to Victim-2’s purported address and take pictures. After U.S. Citizen-1 accepted and completed the assignment in exchange for a promise of $200, Kirill Khrameev introduced U.S. Citizen-1 to someone he described as his “boss” and a “colonel,” later identified as Yuri Khrameev. Yuri Khrameev then offered U.S. Citizen-1 approximately $25,000 to “kill him” — that is, Victim-2. Yuri Khrameev further told U.S. Citizen-1 that they wanted Victim-2 dead because he was “spreading dirt about my country” and “distorting history.” Yuri Khrameev then sent U.S. Citizen-1 a photograph of Victim-2 and described that he could be murdered by “throwing a bottle of gasoline” or “sticking a knife” in him. After U.S. Citizen-1 declined to carry out the murder, Yuri Khrameev offered to give him a “simpler job” which could include “set[ting] fire to a warehouse of property or food” or “throw[ing] a bottle of gasoline at an electrical substation.” Yuri Khrameev made clear to U.S. Citizen-1 that the purpose was to target “all the countries that are helping Ukraine” and that he was offering “serious money for serious work.” Finally, Yuri Khrameev confirmed that he was a “colonel of Russian intelligence agencies.”

The RIS Network has also allegedly recruited others to carry out acts of terrorism overseas. Oemis Romagoza Durruthy coordinated travel and logistics for the network. In or about June 2024, Durruthy coordinated an attack in Prague, Czechia, including by sending another participant potential attack sites and facilitating that participant’s travel. In or about September 2024, Durruthy coordinated another attack in Lithuania in which he booked travel reservations for another individual involved in the attack and had frequent and ongoing communications with an individual involved in the attack. Durruthy also communicated with Yuri Khrameev in or about November 2025, during which Durruthy obtained media of one of Victim-1’s dwellings, which was ultimately surveilled by U.S. Resident-1 this year.

Yuri Khrameev, Kirill Khrameev, Oemis Romagoza Durruthy, Yaidel Delgado Suarez, and Angel Eduardo Castro are all charged with participating in a conspiracy to finance terrorism (Count One), which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. Yuri Khrameev, Suarez, and Castro are also charged with participating in a conspiracy to commit murder for hire (Count Two), which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

The Counterintelligence Division of the FBI New York Field Office investigated the case, with the significant assistance of the Washington Field Office and Homeland Security Investigations.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jeffrey Coyle, Kaylan E. Lasky, Adam Margulies, and Jason A. Richman for the Southern District of New York are prosecuting the case, with assistance from Trial Attorney Andrew Briggs of the Counterterrorism Section of the Justice Department’s National Security Division and Trial Attorney Yifei Zheng of the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section of the Justice Department’s National Security Division.

An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
