Russian-Ukrainian War (as of morning 29.08.2026):
- The Russians continued the mass air run against the back of Ukraine, especially the Kiev circuit. It was the second day of intense raids on the region. Residential buildings, warehouses, cars and infrastructure were damaged. It is peculiarly crucial that Russian attacks increasingly include civilian logistics — warehouses and distribution centres. According to the Ukrainian Minister of Agriculture, Russian strikes were already expected to destruct about 90% of the logistics infrastructure utilized by large commercial networks, although this does not mean a direct threat of food shortage,
- At least six people were injured in Friday's Russian attack on an enterprise in the village of Mila in the Buchen area west of Kiev. There was a fire at the scene, explosions were heard. Interestingly, an investigation has been made into the legality of the retention of explosives there. most likely stolen from the military,
- Intensified Russian attacks practically paralyzed shipping in the main ports of Ukraine — Odessa, Black Sea and Piwdenna. The export scale of grain was to fall from about 6 million tonnes per period to about 500 000 tonnes. If the situation persists for a long time, Ukraine may have a problem not only with exports but besides with the retention of this year's harvest,
- Ukraine corresponds to the escalation of long-range attacks. Volodymyr Zelenski ordered an increase in the number of Ukrainian drone attacks in Russia to around 1000 daily, compared to over 300 today. This is simply a marked change in the scale of the Ukrainian Deep Strike Campaign. The main nonsubjective is the Russian fuel, energy, logistics and military infrastructure. In fresh days, Ukrainians have hit refineries and another oil manufacture facilities, among others,
- A peculiarly crucial Ukrainian success remains the attack on the Engels-2 base in the Sarat region, where according to the ISW a strategical Tu-95MS bomber was hit. This is crucial due to the fact that Tu-95MS are utilized by Russia to launch missiles maneuvering against Ukraine. The very fact of effective impact on specified a heavy protected facility indicates the further improvement of Ukrainian capabilities to penetrate Russian air defence and to destruct strategical goals far behind the front line,
- The IAEA reported further incidents with Ukrainian drones in Russia's occupied atomic power plant in Enerhodar. Earlier this year's incidents included impacts close the cooling pool and dry retention area of spent fuel. According to the IAEA, radiation levels stay normal, so there is presently no information about the radiological failure, but repeated incidents around atomic infrastructure increase the hazard of accidental escalation. The question of whether Kiev decides to lead to atomic disaster remains open,
- Russian attacks of Ukrainian positions in Orichów continue. On land, however, the most crucial area of combat remains the Pokrowsk-Constantinówka belt and the approach to the Ukrainian "Pasa Fortress". The Russians are trying to increase force at the same time from Pokrovska side and from southeastern approaches to Constantinówka, which is to gradually force the Ukrainians to decision the debris. In fresh days, Russian activities have besides focused on preparing more convenient positions to the east and southeast of Slavic,
- Head of the Ukrainian President's Office Kyrylo Budanow confessed that it would take at least 30,000 fresh soldiers each period to keep the situation on the front. – This is the minimum number essential to keep what is – he explained. erstwhile asked if changing the Minister of Defence would help, he replied that the scale of the problems was unfortunately besides large,
- The Russian fuel situation is becoming an increasingly serious strategical problem. According to the information cited by Reuters, Russian gasoline production decreased in late August to around 70% of national demand, after a series of Ukrainian attacks on refineries. The problems were affected, among others, by bets in Perma, Nizhny Novgorod and Jarosław. This means that the Ukrainian run against the Russian oil sector is beginning to have a measurable economical effect, although this should not yet be identified with a fuel crisis that could paralyze the Russian economy.
