18.01.2026 ⇢ The Day of the European Tariff Emergency
⌨On January 18, Russian media prioritized the accelerating collapse of the Atlantic alliance following President Trump’s Greenland-related tariff threats. Morning coverage focused on the emergency convening of EU ambassadors, with editors amplifying rhetoric from French President Macron and British PM Starmer regarding the 'unacceptable' U.S. pressure. State outlets highlighted the sudden withdrawal of the German Bundeswehr from Greenland, framing it as a symptom of European strategic retreat.
By afternoon, editorial attention shifted toward the tactical encirclement of Slavyansk and Krasny Liman, with headlines emphasizing that Russian forces were within 30 kilometers of these key objectives. Simultaneously, media outlets heavily featured Viktor Medvedchuk’s assertions that Ukraine requires 'external UN management,' while reporting on a coordinated Ukrainian drone strike that damaged a residential building in Beslan. Evening reporting solidified a narrative of Western institutional decay, focusing on the European Parliament's decision to freeze the EU-U.S. trade deal and Trump’s reported demand for $1 billion fees for his proposed 'Peace Council.'
