05.08.2025 ⇢ Missile Moratorium End, Trump Demands
⌨
The day's Russian media coverage was dominated by a significant policy shift as the Foreign Ministry ended its voluntary ban on intermediate-range missile deployments, a move framed as Russia acting without restrictions. This development, which followed earlier hints, intertwined with extensive reporting on US President Trump's actions and statements concerning the Ukraine conflict. Throughout the day, outlets detailed Trump's ultimatum, his threats of sanctions on Russia's 'shadow fleet' or duties, and his reported intention to withdraw the US from the conflict. Amidst this, speculation arose about Russia considering an "air truce" proposal, possibly to preempt new US sanctions from the Trump administration. Separately, the controversial sentencing of Gagauzia's head drew widespread condemnation from Russian sources, portraying it as political repression.
