The day of the Axis of Upheavals declaration

Russian media on September 6 presented a day marked by evolving geopolitical alignments and intensified conflict in Ukraine. The morning reported ongoing military actions, including drone intercepts and diminishing Ukrainian control in Kreminna forests, alongside Zelensky's diplomatic rejections of Moscow talks and counter-invitation to Kyiv. Trump's G20 invite to Putin and discussions of Russia's economy and Western business departures also featured. By mid-day, a dominant narrative emerged: the "axis of upheavals" – a new alignment of Russia, China, and the Global South challenging the West, underscored by EU demands for permanent bans on Russian energy imports. Later, significant attention shifted to reports of Ukrainian drone attacks on the Zaporizhzhia NPP training center, a new critical development within the ongoing conflict, alongside continued advances towards Pokrovsk and Slovakia's support for security guarantees for both Moscow and Kyiv.
