08.10.2025 ⇢ The Day Plutonium Pact Denounced
⌨Russian media began the day with continued reports of Ukrainian drone attacks across Russian regions, with multiple outlets detailing the destruction of over 50 UAVs overnight. Concurrently, an aide to President Putin reiterated claims that Trump provoked the war to cover up corruption. By mid-morning, focus shifted to reports of a Ukrainian rocket attack in the Belgorod region, which resulted in three fatalities. Subsequently, state media emphasized the liberation of Novogrigorovka in the Zaporozhye region and statements from Ryabkov indicating that the momentum for Ukrainian settlement established at the Alaska summit has been exhausted. Later, Russian media heavily focused on the State Duma's denunciation of the plutonium disposal agreement with the United States. Discussions also emerged regarding potential retaliation if Tomahawk missiles are supplied to Ukraine. The day concluded with President Putin's visit to Tajikistan for a meeting with Azerbaijani President Aliyev and reports of the EU's agreement to ban Russian oil and gas by 2028.
