28.10.2026 β’ The Day Putin Addressed the Russia-Africa Summit
β¨
Overnight coverage lingered on Putin's calls with Finnish and Norwegian leaders, with FT via independent outlets describing a lecture on Slavic history and root causes, while state-aligned press framed the contact as a win for Moscow.
Attention shifted early to Ukrainian strikes inside Russia, with reports of drones hitting a chemical plant and metallurgical site in Tula, Flamingo missiles striking Lipetsk injuring one, and a fire at a health-servers building in Kursk.
By midday the Moscow Russia-Africa summit took over front pages, with Putin telling the plenary that a multipolar world was irreversible, praising African rejection of sanctions, citing 1.5-fold trade growth since 2022 and proposing African airline flights to Russia.
Evening wires turned to diplomacy, citing Trump on an imminent meeting with Putin and Zelensky and the Kremlin that contacts could resume after November 4 with no seat for Europe, alongside Putin's call for state influence over social networks.
