Russian media began the day with continued focus on Ukrainian drone attacks within Russian territory, including incidents near Moscow and in Voronezh, with claims of nearly 100 mercenaries eliminated in Kharkiv. By midday, reports intensified with over 180 drones allegedly shot down across Russia. A significant development in the early afternoon was the reported drone attack on the Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant, a critical infrastructure target. This was accompanied by extensive discussions regarding the potential delivery of US Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine and their implications for Russia. Later in the day, President Putin made statements emphasizing Russia's strategic initiative in Ukraine, claiming significant territorial gains and calling the war "correct" and "timely."
