  • Ukrainian officials said US envoys brought more effective proposals to Kyiv, but the talks produced no announced breakthrough and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the war could continue through winter.
  • Iran will double the highest gasoline price tier from September 8 and plans to establish a restricted zone near the Strait of Hormuz.
  • An Amazon cargo plane reportedly overshot the runway after landing at Miami International Airport, killing at least five people.

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner left Kyiv on September 7 after talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. They had arrived a day after meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.

More effective proposals are in place now. They are still negotiating. That is truly the most important thing.

· Senior Ukrainian officialThe official described the proposals brought by US envoys to Kyiv as different from earlier efforts.

A senior Ukrainian official told AFP that the envoys brought new proposals aimed at ending the war with Russia. The official described them as “more effective,” while stressing that discussions were still continuing. Zelenskyy, Witkoff and Kushner all gave positive assessments of the exchanges, but none announced a breakthrough.

Zelenskyy said the war could well continue through the winter. He also argued that territorial questions could only be settled at the highest level. “I want to maintain the position that such complicated issues can only be resolved at the level of leaders,” he said, repeating his calls for a meeting with Putin.

Iran, meanwhile, announced a higher gasoline price for heavy consumers as the United States increases economic pressure on the country. Under the quota system, the first 60 liters per month cost 1,500 toman per liter, the next 50 liters cost 3,000 toman, and fuel beyond that threshold costs 5,000 toman. Government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani said the top tier would double to 10,000 toman, about $0.045, from the morning of September 8.

Separately, AFP reported that at least five people died when an Amazon cargo plane overshot the runway after landing at Miami International Airport in Florida.

In the coming days, a restricted zone will be announced outside the Strait of Hormuz.
