Russian media's primary focus remained President Putin's extensive SCO summit participation in China, extending from the previous day. Reports highlighted bilateral meetings with leaders from Turkey, India, Iran, Vietnam, and Central Asian states, reinforcing the narrative of a new multipolar world order and a strong signal to the West. A significant new development emerged with the Russian General Staff publicly displaying maps depicting Ukraine without sea access, including Odesa and Mykolaiv as Russian territory, and announcing plans to continue the conflict. Putin outlined conditions for Ukraine's resolution, attributing the crisis to a Western-provoked coup and expressing hope for peace via discussions, potentially involving President Trump and 'understandings' from Alaska. Foreign Minister Lavrov accused the West of blackmail to impede multipolarity. Concurrently, a key Chinese bank halted operations with Russia due to EU sanctions, and domestic economic forecasts worsened. Putin's arrival in Beijing for further talks underscored ongoing high-level diplomatic engagement.
