Ukraine: at least 11 dead in Russian attacks; Kyiv strikes "shadow fleet"

Euronews Portugal12 September 2026 at 11:51

At least 11 people died in Russian attacks against Ukraine, which hit several regions of the country. Odessa was particularly affected by the bombings, suffering major impacts.

In parallel, Ukrainian forces continue their operation against the Russian so-called "shadow fleet," a network of ships that transports oil and goods, bypassing international sanctions imposed on the Kremlin.

The main objective of this operation is to reduce one of the main sources of funding for Moscow's war against Ukraine, thereby weakening Russian military capacity.

Ukrainian authorities did not specify exactly how they are targeting this fleet, but the operation is part of a broader strategy to cut off funding for the Russian war effort.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal and Europe are directly affected by the continuation of the conflict, both by the growing humanitarian impact and by the threat of escalation in geopolitical tensions. Kyiv's operation against the shadow fleet may have consequences for energy prices and the stability of international markets.

"Guardians of the Lord of Patience"

The Feast of the Lord of Patience takes place this Sunday, September 13, at the Monastery of Santo António, in Lombo dos Aguiares, Madeira, with the solemn Eucharist at 5:00 PM presided by D. Nuno Brás, bishop of Funchal, followed by a procession. The Poor Clares have kept this devotion alive for more than half a century, linked to the memory of the Servant of God Mother Virginia Brites da Paixão, defining themselves as "guardians of the Lord of Patience." This year marks the debut of a new hymn dedicated to the Lord of Patience, with lyrics by Sister Maria da Cruz and music by Fr. Ignácio Rodrigues, an initiative of Fr. André Pinheiro that involved the parishes of Visitação and Graça in organizing the celebrations.
