Russians experience a turbulent summer as the war in Ukraine increasingly affects life inside Russia. Reports describe disruptions tied to the energy system and increased exposure to drone strikes, with multiple regions facing spillover impacts from the conflict.
The outlets agree that gas supply problems and drone activity are major elements of the unrest.
