12.10.2025 ⇢ The Day US Aid to Ukraine's Strikes Deepened
⌨
Russian media on October 12, 2025, focused on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and revelations regarding US involvement. Early reports mentioned Iran freezing its IAEA agreement and Pakistan seizing Afghan border posts, while Russia's Ministry of Defense announced 32 Ukrainian drones were destroyed overnight. Morning coverage then highlighted Russian strikes on Ukrainian logistics in Sumy Oblast and China's warning of retaliation against US flight bans and tariffs. The most significant development, starting in the late morning, involved multiple Russian outlets reporting that the US had been assisting Ukraine with strikes deep into Russia, including attacks on energy infrastructure, for several months. This was followed by Kremlin concerns over potential Tomahawk missile supplies to Ukraine. Later in the day, President Putin introduced a moratorium on the fuel damper, and the Central Bank cancelled the vote for the 500-ruble banknote's symbol due to manipulation. The expected release of Hamas hostages also received coverage.
