Russian media began the day reporting on a large-scale Ukrainian drone attack across Russian regions and Donald Trump's anticipated call with President Putin. Soon after, the incident of drones entering Polish airspace emerged as a primary focus. Poland responded by closing airports, scrambling jets, and reportedly invoking NATO's Article 4, while Russian and Belarusian outlets largely dismissed these as "lost" drones, not an attack, with Moscow offering consultations. This diplomatic-military exchange remained a central theme, with the Russian Ministry of Defense providing technical counter-arguments regarding drone range, and the Russian embassy rejecting Warsaw's "baseless accusations." However, in the evening, the narrative significantly shifted to the attempted assassination and subsequent death of Donald Trump's ally, Charlie Kirk. Russian sources prominently covered his death, emphasizing his opposition to aid for Ukraine and advocacy for dialogue with Russia, ultimately making it the day's dominant story. The alleged Israeli strikes in Doha also continued as a persistent background theme.
