'Russia's true attitude' — Iskander missile strike damages UN humanitarian warehouse in Dnipro
Overnight explosions reported across Russia, occupied Crimea
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.

According to Rybar, Russian Armed Forces conducted a series of strikes against targets in the frontline zone on 26 May 2026, with power disruptions reported in several regions of Ukraine. Rybar reports that Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv were struck using OTRK systems and UAVs, while 'Geran' UAVs targeted AFU facilities in Poltava and neighboring settlements. Rybar also reports that Ukrainian formations launched several dozen UAVs against border territories and Crimea, with the post appearing to cut off before further detail was provided.
According to Rybar's morning summary for May 27, 2026, Ukrainian forces conducted overnight UAV and missile strikes on Crimea: at least 14 UAVs were shot down over Sevastopol, and footage circulating online purportedly shows smoke near the Black Sea Fleet Air Force headquarters. Rybar also reports that air-launched missiles were fired at the central part of the peninsula, reportedly targeting an electrical power station, but claims Russian air defense intercepted them with no power outages recorded. Additionally, a missile was reportedly directed at the area of an aviation plant in Rostov Oblast, near Tsiolkovsky Street, where fires broke out.
