14.05.2026 ⇢ The Day of the Massive Strike and Yermak's Arrest
⌨
The day began with coverage of the Trump-Xi summit in Beijing, where Xi warned Trump over Taiwan. By mid-morning, the focus shifted to a massive Russian strike on Ukraine, with state-aligned outlets reporting hits on military targets and the liberation of Nikolaevka in the DPR, while independent Meduza and The Moscow Times reported a residential building hit in Kyiv, with casualties rising to 12 by evening. In parallel, the arrest of former Zelensky aide Andriy Yermak on corruption charges dominated independent and some state outlets, with Lenta.ru calling him the 'gray cardinal' of Ukraine. In the afternoon, the State Duma appointed Yana Lantratova as human rights ombudsman, and Putin replaced the governors of Belgorod and Bryansk regions, a story that continued from previous days. The Moscow Times noted an economic downturn as major Russian firms saw profit collapse.
