A difficult summer has been endured by Russians, marked by turmoil and disruption. Long lines at gas pumps and issues with flights to vacation destinations have caused frustration and anxiety. Online orders have also been disrupted due to e-commerce hubs being set ablaze by drones.

The war has had a significant impact, with nightly swarms of drones affecting Russian airports, oil refineries, and warehouses. Defense Ministry data shows that over 43,300 Ukrainian drones were intercepted in June, July, and August. Further details on the situation are available, including the effects of the drones on various aspects of Russian life.
