The day was dominated by Vladimir Putin's keynote address at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. State-aligned outlets (TASS, RIA Novosti, Lenta.ru) led with his dismissal of mobilization rumors as an 'information attack' and his assertion that volunteers suffice for the war effort. He also announced a unified preferential regime for the Far East and Arctic, and claimed victory over hyperinflation. Meanwhile, independent media (Meduza, The Moscow Times) focused on the fallout from Ukraine's drone campaign: a general was shot and wounded in Saratov, and a drone hit a residential building in the Moscow region. The arrest of the Russian vessel 'Professor Molchanov' by Norway at Ukraine's request also drew attention, with Moscow summoning the Norwegian ambassador. In the evening, Trump's statement about wanting to end the conflict and his openness to a new summit with Putin were covered, but the forum's economic messaging remained the central editorial priority.
