05.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Russia Accused Ukraine of Striking Zaporizhzhia
⌨

Coverage opened with Brazil's first round, reporting Flavio Bolsonaro leading Lula into a runoff, with discussion of implications for BRICS and Ukraine.

Focus then shifted to Ukraine as state agencies claimed hits on the Kochetok substation, energy sites and a cargo ship in Yuzhny port, alongside explosions in Kyiv. Independent outlets reported a residential strike in Kharkiv killing three and wounding dozens, while the Defence Ministry claimed capture of Samoilovka in Zaporizhzhia region.

The same region produced a separate claim that Ukrainian fire hit a radioactive waste facility 200 meters from Zaporizhzhia's units, with Rosatom and the Foreign Ministry warning of nuclear accident risk.

At home, Teacher's Day events with Putin competed with official reassurances after an anti-plague worker's death in Irkutsk, which the Kremlin called rumors and Washington said it was monitoring, alongside approval of UniCredit's asset sale and appointment of Shokhin as business ombudsman.
