12.09.2025 โ‡ข The day of Charlie Kirk's killer arrest
โŒจThe aftermath of conservative US activist Charlie Kirk's assassination continued to dominate headlines in the morning, with Russia's drone activities over Poland also drawing attention, highlighting NATO's air defense gaps. By early afternoon, the narrative shifted significantly as Donald Trump announced the arrest of a suspect in Kirk's murder, identified later as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who allegedly wrote a provocative message on a bullet casing. This development became the primary international focus, with domestic news shifting to the leaked national budget outlining a slight increase in purchasing power and extended fuel excise duty discounts. NATO's increased defense at its eastern border in response to Russian drone flights also received attention, continuing the earlier international security concerns.
