Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik said that over the past week Kyiv has attacked Russia almost nine thousand times, including the days of the State Duma elections, trying to prevent voting by striking civilian targets.

On a single voting day, September 20, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched almost two thousand drones across Russia, of which 1,951 attack drones and nine cruise missiles aimed at Moscow and the Moscow region were destroyed. As a result of the attacks, people were killed and injured, residential buildings, industrial and logistics infrastructure, as well as social and administrative buildings, including polling stations in new regions, were damaged.

US President Donald Trump said he does not expect a direct military conflict between the UK and Russia, despite Russia's protest to the UK's charge d'affaires in Russia over the supply of UAVs and weapons to Ukraine, which Moscow considers to involve NATO in the conflict and an obstacle to a settlement.

Iran says it is ready to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the United States eases military pressure and lifts its blockade of Iranian ports, according to a Reuters report citing a senior Iranian official. To do this, the United States must officially declare its readiness for a diplomatic settlement.

Ukrainian President Zelensky stated he received no concrete response from US President Trump regarding a request for Patriot missile supplies, noting a shortage. EU countries approved an exception allowing Ukraine to buy missiles using EU funds, and the UK pledged £100 million for US-made Patriot missiles. Russia claims Western arms prolong the conflict without changing battlefield dynamics.

From September 14 to 20, attacks by Ukrainian drones and missiles were recorded over almost 20 regions of Russia outside the Donbass, including Voronezh, Ulyanovsk, Volgograd and other regions, as well as the Krasnodar Territory and the republics of Adygea, Tatarstan and Bashkortostan. Aircraft-type UAVs were used to strike remote regions.
