The report focused on President Vladimir Putin's meeting on the development of the Kaliningrad region, which borders Lithuania and Poland. The mix-up occurred as drone footage showed Elblag, located less than 50 kilometers southwest of the Kaliningrad border. Earlier this year, Poland's decision to rename the Kaliningrad region to Krolewiec in government documents sparked criticism from the Kremlin.

The fate and location of the Wagner Group, the mercenary force involved in the rebellion, remain unknown. Meanwhile, the World Bank has approved a $1.5 billion loan to Ukraine for recovery efforts, and President Putin has been making public appearances to project an image of stability and control.
