⌨Ukrainian media on August 2 opened with extensive coverage of renewed massive drone attacks deep within Russian territory, impacting oil refineries, airfields, and defense facilities. Concurrently, US President Trump's evolving diplomatic statements, from nuclear warnings to potential negotiations with Russia, held significant attention. By early afternoon, editorial focus shifted markedly to a major domestic corruption scandal. Reports highlighted NABU and SAP detentions of a Member of Parliament and former Luhansk region head Serhiy Haidai, implicated in large-scale bribery concerning drone and REB procurements. This exposure, building on earlier institutional reforms, dominated news cycles. Simultaneously, a major incident involving a gas pipeline shutdown in Russia following explosions, affecting military supply, also emerged prominently. President Zelensky later submitted a bill for a 100-year agreement with Britain, as intense frontline combat continued.
