04.09.2026 ⇢ The Day of the Drone Barrage on Moscow and Sochi
⌨
Russian media on September 4 focused on the largest Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow to date, with state-aligned outlets (TASS, RIA Novosti, Interfax, NTV) reporting on air defense interceptions and a fire at a Sochi oil depot. Independent outlets (Meduza, The Moscow Times) covered the release of hospice founder Liuda Moniava and the stalled US 'hell sanctions' bill. In the afternoon, a drone struck the SBU headquarters in Kyiv, which state media framed as retaliation. Trump's envoys Witkoff and Kushner announced plans to visit Moscow and Kyiv with a proposal to end the war, drawing attention across the spectrum.
