Overnight Ukrainian strikes inside Russia dominated state coverage. Outlets reported a massive missile attack on Taganrog that damaged an Ozon warehouse and caused fires, a hit on the Syzran refinery, more than 220 drones intercepted, and one death in Belgorod. The Defence Ministry answered with claims of strikes on railway infrastructure in western Ukraine and sites holding foreign military cargo.
Attention then turned to the energy-strike pause claimed by Trump the previous day. The Kremlin now called the idea good, while spokesman Peskov accused Kyiv of attempting to hit a Russian energy facility. Foreign Minister Lavrov said Moscow was ready for a new trilateral round with the US and Ukraine and a meeting with Rubio at the UN General Assembly, with TASS reporting a dozen countries had offered to host talks.
Exile outlets noted fuel rationing in Leningrad region, limiting sales to 30 litres, as refinery hits continued.
