06.02.2026 ⇢ The Day of the Alekseyev Assassination Attempt
⌨
The early morning news was dominated by a retaliatory strike on Belgorod and the arrival of prisoners from the Abu Dhabi exchange. However, editorial focus shifted abruptly at 07:38 AM following a coordinated report of an assassination attempt on Lieutenant General Vladimir Alekseyev, deputy head of the GRU, in Moscow. State and independent media prioritized details of the general’s survival against a "female hitman," while the Kremlin confirmed President Putin was being briefed. By early afternoon, editors balanced the security breach with diplomatic messaging. State outlets framed the ongoing Abu Dhabi talks as "constructive yet difficult" and signaled openness to the "Trump Route" infrastructure plan. This narrative competed with reports of a 2-trillion-ruble budget deficit and the announcement of the EU’s 20th sanctions package targeting the "shadow fleet." By evening, the focus transitioned toward state-led nationalization of the Leonardo booking system and dismissals of Western skepticism regarding the Alekseyev attack.
