15.01.2026 ⇢ The Day of the British Diplomat Expulsion
⌨On January 15, Russian editorial priorities shifted from overnight anxieties regarding a potential U.S. strike on Iran toward a high-profile espionage scandal. Morning headlines across state and independent outlets were dominated by the FSB’s unmasking of a British diplomat allegedly working for intelligence services, leading to his immediate expulsion and a formal protest from the Foreign Ministry. This development overshadowed early reports of a carrier strike group moving toward Iran and the arrival of European troops in Greenland to counter U.S. territorial interests.
By midday, focus expanded to domestic security after a grenade explosion at a police training center in Syktyvkar left eighteen people injured. Concurrently, state media amplified President Putin’s address to foreign ambassadors, where he framed the Ukraine conflict as a direct consequence of Western disregard for Russian security. Late evening reporting highlighted an unusual legal escalation as a U.S. investment fund sued Russia for $225 billion in Tsarist-era debts, alongside Trump's public pivot blaming Volodymyr Zelensky for obstructing peace efforts.
