Russia Resumes Kyiv Drone Attacks; Ukraine's Top Prosecutor Quits in Corruption Scandal

Russia resumed drone attacks on Kyiv on September 8 after a three-day pause, striking buildings in the capital's outskirts, while Ukraine's Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko resigned amid a corruption scandal. The attacks came as US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited the region. Ukrainian military authorities reported air defense operations and drone strikes on buildings in Boryspil and Fastiv districts. Kravchenko submitted his resignation on September 7, calling it a political decision, following an investigation into an alleged extortion racket involving fraudulent call centers and senior prosecutor's office officials. President Zelensky said the US will provide a "winter package" of aid including air defense and energy support. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte will attend a virtual Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting today, with defense ministers from Germany, the UK, and Ukraine participating.
