02.08.2026 ⇢ The Day of the Belgorod Child Killing
⌨
The day's editorial focus shifted repeatedly, but the death of a child in a Ukrainian drone strike on Belgorod region became the dominant evening story. Morning coverage was split between the aftermath of the Moscow restaurant bombing—with Sobyanin's condolences and promises to find perpetrators—and overnight Ukrainian drone attacks on Saratov, Udmurtia, and Wildberries warehouses. By afternoon, state media highlighted drone strikes near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, while The Moscow Times reported on Belarus forming a new brigade near Ukraine. However, after 6 PM, the child's death in Belgorod unified coverage across state-aligned outlets, with TASS, RIA Novosti, Interfax, and Lenta.ru leading with the incident, framing it as a terrorist act. Independent sources continued to report on the restaurant bombing and Italy's seizure of a shadow fleet tanker.
