16.09.2025The day Israel began its ground offensive in Gaza
Russian media began the day with extensive coverage of an Israeli ground offensive in Gaza, detailing the scale and intensity of the military operation. This remained a primary focus, with reports throughout the morning and early afternoon on the expansion of the operation and an Israeli strike on the Yemeni port of Hodeida.

Concurrently, there was significant attention on Ukrainian drone attacks over Russian regions and the Black Sea, with reports of many drones intercepted. The EU's indefinite postponement of a new sanctions package against Russia also emerged as a consistent topic, alongside discussions about the proposed ban on Schengen visas for Russians, which several EU countries reportedly rejected.

By late afternoon, the media's focus shifted to President Putin's visit to the Mulino training ground for the "Zapad-2025" exercises, where he was seen in military uniform inspecting equipment. This event continued to dominate evening headlines, often alongside reports on Donald Trump's statements regarding Ukraine's need for a deal and Zelensky's readiness for unconditional meetings while also preparing for new Russian offensives.
