The latest developments in Russia’s war on Ukraine. All times EDT.

1:06 a.m.: Even as the war goes on, routine immunizations are needed.

12:15 a.m.: Nations bordering the Baltic Sea agreed Tuesday to increase offshore wind energy to 20 gigawatts by 2030, as Europe seeks to wean itself off Russian gas following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, Agence France-Presse reported.

Twenty gigawatts would be enough to supply electricity to 20 million households, “more than the current wind offshore capacity in the whole of the EU today,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told reporters after hosting a meeting between Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden.

Russia was the only Baltic Sea nation not in attendance at Tuesday’s meeting.

12:00 a.m.: Alexey Navalny, the imprisoned Russian opposition politician, says he has been sent to solitary confinement for the third time this month as a punishment for his political activities, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reported.

Navalny, who is being held at a facility about 260 kilometers east of Moscow, made the statement on Instagram on August 30 most likely via his team members.

“The thing is, I’m too politically active for an inmate. They are very irritated by the labor union I have created. … And what really drives the Kremlin mad is [our team’s] work on pushing the list of 6,000 oligarchs, corrupt officials, and warmongers who will be slapped with [international] sanctions,” Navalny wrote.

The punishment comes a day after Navalny’s team published its latest list of Russian officials, journalists, and celebrities, who, according to the group, are “directly responsible” for Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine launched in late February.
