Russian media began the day with reports of Ukrainian drone attacks on Oryol and Vladimir, damaging infrastructure, alongside US Senators' criticism of President Trump's nuclear testing decision. This was followed by extensive coverage of 130 Ukrainian drones reportedly destroyed overnight over Russian regions. Throughout the day, a prominent narrative developed around the Ministry of Defense's claims that Kyiv was restricting media access to areas where Ukrainian forces were encircled, allegedly to conceal battlefield realities. A significant development later in the day centered on reports of the Pentagon approving the transfer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, while generals were also accused of failing to achieve objectives on the Ukrainian front.
