Putin arrives on the day of the Navy in St. Petersburg during the largest attack of drones on the Leningrad region

Vladimir Putin on the day of the Navy on July 27 arrived in St. Petersburg and arrived at the Main Admiralty to verify the operational exercises of the July Storm Navy, which took place from July 23 to 27, the Kremlin said.

The Navy Day is traditionally accompanied by the main naval parade, which takes place in St. Petersburg on the last Sunday of July. However, this year he was canceled. In early July, Fontanka announced its cancellation with reference to sources, and on July 25, this was confirmed by the city committee on transport. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov explained the abolition of the parade “General situation” and “Security Considerations”.

On the same day in the morning in the Leningrad Region, a threat of drone attack was declared. About 10 in the morning, the regional governor Alexander Drozdenko said that more than a dozen drones were destroyed. The wreckage fell in Gatchina, Kingisepp and Lomonosovsky districts, the military settlement and on the territory of the industrial zone in Primorsk. In the Lomonosovsky district, as a result of the attack, according to Drozdenko, a woman suffered.

The governor also warned that a partial decrease in the mobile Internet signal is possible. Starting in spring, different regions of Russia regularly encounter mobile communication off due to attacks of Ukrainian drones. The authorities explain this to security considerations.

In addition, due to the attacks of seedlings, restrictions were introduced at Pulkovo Airport, which operated for more than five hours. More than 50 flights were delayed, another 22 went to spare airfields, said in Pulkovo.

At about 12 o’clock in the afternoon, the danger of an attack of drones was removed. The agency notes that before that the Leningrad Region did not encounter air attacks of such intensity and calls it the largest over the entire time of the war. The 47news publication also writes that the number of drones who attacked the Leningrad region in one day became a record. The previous record was recorded in January - then the region was attacked by four drones.

Trump loses patience. The Kremlin insists that it is necessary to fix the fulfillment of the tasks that "stood before his"

Donald Trump is focused on peace in Ukraine, but “loses patience” due to the fact that conversations with Vladimir Putin do not lead to the end of the war, said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in an interview with Fox News.

“I think he is increasingly annoyed by the fact that, despite very good contacts with Vladimir Putin and telephone conversations, this never leads to anything, so the time has come for some action. And I think the president made it clear. He loses patience, loses his readiness to continue to wait until the Russian side does something to put an end to this war, ”Rubio said .

Meanwhile, the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov again said that it was necessary to solve the tasks “who stood before his”. Answering TASS's question about the possible relations of Russia and Ukraine after the war, Peskov (he said, on board the aircraft) said that “first we need to resolve the problem” “We need to fix the fulfillment of the tasks that stood before his. We have repeatedly said that it is preferable for us to do this with political and diplomatic means, and continues in conditions when these funds became impossible when all the proposals were rejected-both Ukraine itself and Westerners. <...> First you need to resolve the situation, and then think about how relations will be built, ”said the Kremlin press secretary.

War through the eyes of readers "Medusa"

Michael (Moscow). Recently, the feeling that people are on the verge has been growing stronger. It seems that the war is far away, it seems that we all somehow learned to live with her, someone is trying not to read the news and not in contact-but it seems that subconsciously the war poisons even those who prefer to ignore it. In ordinary communication, this is almost imperceptible, but begins to manifest itself strongly in work.

I have several areas of activity, I contact them with completely different people, but more and more I see the same thing: they end with strength. What used to be made easily and clearly is now resting against a lack of concentration, motivation, perseverance. Monitories and deadlines are broken, quality falls, sometimes people simply do not get in touch for a day or two.

I myself became like that, although I try to not give in in every way. I thought, personal troubles, fatigue, overstrain - and now I understand that this applies to many. Moreover, we are talking about the prosperous Moscow, in which the authorities do everything so that no one remembers the war. And what about the front -line regions? And somewhere in a small Siberian town, from which a noticeable part of men went to war-and many will not return?

The war is irradiated every day. News reports, inhibiting the Internet, blocked sites, chaos at airports, endless prohibitions of one, second and third, some kind of abrasion madness in what was recently called mass culture. And it is already impossible to protect against this radiation, unless you go to live in the cave.

Yes, this cannot be compared close to what Ukrainians feel, but still the war concerns everyone. Whether he wants it or not, whether he notes it or not. And judging by what I see, to the limit, to the point of boiling the society remains very little. The question is - what will happen behind this point.
