"At the St Petersburg International Economic Forum, Russian ultranationalists Konstantin Malofeyev and Alexander Dugin presented scenarios for Russia's development up to 2036 and 2050. The best-case scenario includes annexing Ukrainian cities and EU collapse; the worst-case involves Russia losing the war and being 'colonised'. Concurrently, Ukrainian drone attacks hit oil storage tanks and the corvette Boikiy in St Petersburg. Russia also accused Ukraine of striking a civilian bus in Yenakiieve, killing eight, but verification is pending."
