12.11.2025The Day Ukraine Halted Peace Talks
Russian media today focused initially on a tragic incident where a child was injured by an explosive device disguised as money, alongside reports of ongoing Ukrainian drone attacks and Russia selling oil at discounted rates due to sanctions. By late morning, the narrative shifted dramatically to claims of a thwarted Ukrainian plot to assassinate Metropolitan Tikhon, allegedly aimed at disrupting Russia-US negotiations. The afternoon was dominated by Russia's diplomatic engagements, specifically a confirmed but reportedly unsuccessful backchannel contact with the UK and a meeting between Putin and Tokayev. The most significant development emerged in the late afternoon and evening, with Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announcing the suspension of peace talks with Russia, a decision widely reported and commented on by Russian officials as an indication of Ukraine's lack of desire for peace.
