28.08.2026 ⇢ The Day of the Drone Barrage
⌨
The day was dominated by a massive Ukrainian drone attack on multiple Russian regions. State-aligned outlets (TASS, RIA Novosti, NTV) led with the downing of over 500 drones and strikes on residential buildings in Sevastopol and Yaroslavl, while independent media (Meduza, The Moscow Times) focused on casualties and damage. The attack occurred amid ongoing tensions, with Lavrov denying an ultimatum to Washington and the CIA director's visit still under discussion. In the evening, reports emerged of a drone strike on a bus in Belgorod, killing two, and a blackout in Kherson. Meanwhile, Putin visited Nizhny Novgorod and Medvedev denied mobilization plans.
