14.09.2025The day of the Russian Unified Voting Day elections
Russian media began the day with significant coverage of the Unified Voting Day, highlighting its commencement and ongoing reports throughout the day regarding voter turnout, with over 16 million people reportedly participating in various elections. The Central Election Commission (CEC) reported 290,000 cyberattacks on its portal, later specifying 15.3 million since June, though it stated these did not impact remote voting. Initial results and the closure of polling stations were key topics in the evening.

Concurrently, there was continued focus on Ukrainian drone attacks, particularly one in the Oryol region that caused an explosion on railway tracks, killing Rosgvardia employees, and another that led to an oil refinery fire in the Leningrad region. Reports also noted the destruction of 80 Ukrainian drones over Russian regions and the Azov Sea. International discussions included Poland's unwillingness to consult with Russia on a UAV incident and Poland agreeing to NATO troop presence in the country.
