29.06.2026 ⇢ The Day Putin Rejected the Strike Limit Proposal
⌨
Editors opened with overnight US-Iran ceasefire and negotiation agreements, but quickly pivoted to the Kremlin's rejection of a proposal to limit long-range strikes, framing it as a hardening of Russia's position. Morning coverage centered on a deadly Russian missile strike on Dnipro, with casualty counts rising throughout the day to six dead, and a drone attack on a minibus in Zaporizhzhia. By afternoon, attention shifted to President Zelensky's statement that Russia aims to capture Donbas by December 31, while the General Staff reported 184 combat clashes, hottest near Pokrovsk and Huliaipole. Evening reports highlighted power outage schedules returning nationwide due to heat, and a severe storm in Lviv causing damage.
