16.11.2024The Day Death Visited The Stage
Russian air defense reported intercepting 34 drones over five regions during the night. The military claimed capturing Leninskoye and Makarovka in DPR, continuing the pattern of territorial advances reported in previous days.

The cultural sphere experienced significant losses with the deaths of Mariinsky Theatre premier Vladimir Shklyarov at 39 and Soviet film icon Svetlana Svetlichnaya at 84. The coverage of these deaths dominated the afternoon news cycle, partially overshadowing the ongoing crisis in Abkhazia.

President Bzhania of Abkhazia offered to resign and hold new elections if protesters evacuated the parliament building - they refused. The evening brought reports of successful drone strikes on a UAV production facility in Mykolaiv, while New York Times revealed discussions about a Russian-born candidate for Trump's special envoy to Ukraine.
