05.04.2025 ⇢ Day Ovechkin's Record Overshadowed Markets Crash While Chubais Faced Justice
⌨
Ovechkin's matching of Gretzky's NHL record dominated morning coverage, with multiple outlets reporting he achieved this milestone in one fewer game than the Canadian legend. Simultaneously, Russian markets crashed following Trump's tariffs and oil price collapse, with shares reportedly losing 2 trillion rubles in two days.
Military operations continued with extensive reporting on Ukrainian drone attacks, with Russia claiming to have intercepted 49 UAVs overnight across multiple regions. A facility in Mordovia was specifically targeted, later identified by Moscow Times as Russia's only manufacturer of optical fiber for drones.
The afternoon brought news of Russian gymnasts refusing to compete under neutral status and a State Duma proposal to ban weekend alcohol sales nationwide. By evening, a significant legal development emerged as Rosnano filed a 5.6 billion ruble lawsuit against former CEO Anatoly Chubais, with the court freezing his assets and those of seven other former executives.
