G20 summit: China remains a hurdle in path of communique
Saturday, 9 September 2023 With China blocking condemnation of Russia for the war in Ukraine, US NSA Jake Sullivan said there was still some distance to travel for a final communique that all leaders could agree to. This was confirmed by UK PM Rishi Sunak, who said on his way to India that there was no joint statement yet because of objections raised by China on issues related to the Ukraine war and climate.
Ukraine’s top commander, Aleksandr Syrsky, is reportedly ready to lay down arms and capitulate to Russia, according to a claim made by a lawmaker from President Vladimir Zelensky’s party. The claim was made by MP Mariana Bezuglaya from the ‘Servant of the People’ party, who is also the deputy chair of the National Security, Defense, and Intelligence Committee.
Syrsky, who became Ukraine’s highest-ranking general in early February, succeeded Valery Zaluzhny, the former general who oversaw last year’s unsuccessful attempts to repel Russian forces. Bezuglaya accused Syrsky and Zaluzhny of secretly colluding to prevent a Ukrainian victory, stating that the two generals belong to a “generals’ mafia” that is more interested in protecting their own privileges than in defeating Russia.

US Water System May Be , Vulnerable to Cyberattack, by China, Russia and Iran.
CNBC reports that the United States
water system has been the target of a series
of cyberattacks over the past few years. .
In response, the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has been forced to issue an alert warning
that 70% of water systems do not comply
with the Safe Drinking Water Act.
According to the EPA, some have “alarming
cybersecurity vulnerabilities,” including
unchanged default passwords and former
employees who retain access to vital systems.
In February, the FBI issued a warning to
Congress that Chinese hackers have embedded
themselves into the U.S. cyber infrastructure. .
Those hackers have targeted water treatment
plants, the electrical grid, transportation
systems and other vital infrastructure.

Stuart Madnick, an MIT professor of engineering
systems and co-founder of Cybersecurity at
MIT Sloan, warns that an attack that shuts off
water to the population is the main concern.
We have demonstrated in our
lab how operations, such as
a water plant, could be shut
down not just for hours or
days, but for weeks, Adam Isles, head of cybersecurity

Recently, EPA Administrator Michael Regan and
National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan sent a letter
to governors stressing the urgency of the threat. .

The U.S. has expanded permission for Ukraine to use American-made weapons against targets in Russia, not limited to the Kharkiv region. This doesn't represent a policy change, as Biden previously allowed strikes near the border. However, long-range attacks deep into Russia remain prohibited. U.S. officials confirm this aligns with National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan's statement about Ukraine's right to defend against cross-border attacks.
