11.08.2026 ⇢ The Day of the Unswapped Marine
⌨
The day was shaped by the unexpected release of former US Marine Robert Gilman from Russian custody without a prisoner exchange. State-aligned outlets (TASS, RIA Novosti, NTV) and commercial sources (Interfax, Kommersant) framed the move as a humanitarian gesture, with Trump confirming the release. Independent media (The Moscow Times) noted the Kremlin acted after pressure from Washington.
Earlier, the drone war continued: overnight attacks on Moscow were repelled, with 13 UAVs downed, while a strike on Voronezh warehouses killed one. State media highlighted Russian advances in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia, and Putin's visit to Novosibirsk for a science council meeting. By afternoon, the Gilman story eclipsed other developments, including a Lamborghini crash by a billionaire's son and arrests in a canned food case.
