According to Rybar, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the start of systematic bombardments of Kyiv as of the morning of May 26, 2026. Rybar also reports that the preceding night saw reduced Russian Armed Forces strike UAV activity over Ukrainian territory compared to typical nights, and that Ukrainian-affiliated sources have officially acknowledged a shortage of air defense missiles, with Kyiv reportedly requesting 5–10 missiles in negotiations due to shortages following the U.S.–Iran war. Additionally, Rybar reports that AFU conducted a massed MLRS 'Grad' strike on Bryansk Oblast on the morning of May 25, though the source text is incomplete.
