26.08.2025 ⇢ The day of Dnipropetrovsk occupation denial
⌨The day's editorial focus initially centered on reports from DeepState indicating Russian occupation of two villages in Dnipropetrovsk. This development quickly became a point of contention, with the General Staff later refuting full occupation, confirming ongoing battles in the area while asserting Ukrainian control over at least one settlement. Concurrently, intense combat continued along the front, particularly in the Pokrovsk sector, with Ukrainian forces reporting successful counterattacks and hitting Russian logistics in Crimea. International diplomatic efforts persisted, with discussions around security guarantees and a US envoy expressing hope for war resolution by year-end. President Trump also featured in headlines, reportedly discussing nuclear disarmament with Putin, but later warning of potential sanctions against Ukraine and an "economic war" against Russia if negotiations were avoided. Domestically, new government rules allowed men aged 18-22 to cross the border.
