22.10.2026 ⇢ The Day 630 Drones Flew Toward Moscow
⌨
Overnight editors counted an escalating Ukrainian drone raid toward Moscow, revising figures upward through the night from dozens to 630, with damage reported in Lipetsk, Tula and the Moscow region and two injured. State wires paired it with a Russian mass strike on military-industrial and energy targets in Kyiv, which independent outlets framed as a demonstrative blow hours after the Putin-Witkoff meeting that left one dead and more than 20 wounded.
By morning attention shifted to the cabinet overhaul approved October 19, with Putin naming Siluanov and Nikitin deputy premiers and a new transport minister, a move Mishustin then formalized.
In the evening coverage returned to diplomacy, carrying Putin's statements that Moscow was ready to resume trilateral talks, that agreement with Kyiv remained possible and that defeat of Russia on the battlefield was impossible, alongside Trump's claim settlement was closer than ever.
