04.08.2026 ⇢ The Day of the Wildberries Warehouse Strikes
⌨
Editors led with Ukrainian drone strikes on Wildberries warehouses in Moscow, Leningrad, and Tver regions, a story that dominated from early morning through the afternoon. The SBU claimed over 100 strategic targets hit in a 40-day operation, with the warehouse fires serving as the day's most visible symbol of Ukraine's deep-strike campaign.
By midday, attention shifted to a Russian airstrike on Kramatorsk that injured 24 civilians, and Prime Minister Shmyhal's warning that Russia is now targeting Ukraine's water supply. The State Border Guard Service revealed Russian plans to invade Chernihiv Oblast, while air raid alerts repeatedly sounded in Kyiv.
In the evening, the EU announced changes to temporary protection rules for Ukrainian men of conscription age, and Zelensky expressed readiness for all negotiation formats, counting on Witkoff and Kushner. The front line saw 216 combat clashes.
