Ukrainian media on August 4 prominently featured SBU drone operations, starting with reports of five Russian fighter jets struck at Saki airfield in occupied Crimea. This deepened into coverage of successful drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, including a fuel depot at Sochi Airport and the Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery, halting its operations. These strikes continued the pattern of deep attacks on Russian territory observed in previous days. Concurrent with the offensive actions, the media tracked US President Trump's ongoing statements regarding potential US nuclear submarine deployments near Russia, and his intentions to raise tariffs on India over Russian oil resale. Later in the day, significant diplomatic developments emerged, with the Kremlin signaling Putin's conditional readiness for a meeting with President Zelensky, a topic that has seen shifts in previous days. Turkish President Erdogan's upcoming visit to Kyiv also gained attention. Reports of widespread "Kinzhal" missile attacks across Ukraine and intense frontline clashes persisted throughout the day.
