29.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Putin Warned Europe of a Winnerless War
⌨
Overnight front pages tracked a mass drone raid, with counts rising from dozens to 613 aircraft headed toward Moscow, 231 reported downed near the capital and over 1,200 nationwide. Airports restricted operations and more than 400 flights were cancelled in Moscow and St Petersburg, while outlets reported damage to industrial sites in Bashkiria and casualties in Leningrad region.
By morning attention moved to the second day of the Russia-Africa summit in the Kremlin, where Putin spoke of multipolarity, rejection of colonial practices and ruble settlements, and announced an action plan to 2029.
Evening coverage centered on Putin's remarks on war with Europe, quoted as ready by 2030 but unwanted and winnerless, alongside warnings over Baltic tankers. Parallel wires noted Abu Dhabi talks after November 4 without Europe, progress on the Aleshki humanitarian corridor, passage of the 2027-2029 budget in first reading and the crash of a Russkiye Vityazi Su-30SM.
