18.10.2025The Day Trump Denied Tomahawks to Zelensky
Russian media began the day with continued focus on Trump's diplomatic efforts, specifically his refusal to provide Tomahawks to Zelensky and calls for a deal to end the Ukraine conflict. This narrative persisted throughout the morning, with reports highlighting a "tense and uncomfortable discussion" during their meeting. Concurrently, successful Russian air defense operations against Ukrainian drones were noted, alongside early reports of a tunnel connecting the US and Russia. In the afternoon, the focus remained on Trump's denial of Tomahawks and the abrupt end to his meeting with Zelensky. The prospect of a Trump-Putin meeting in Hungary was framed as a "political nightmare" by the EU. Later, Russian forces reportedly liberated Pleshcheevka in the DPR and made a breakthrough in Krasny Liman. The day concluded with attention on Putin's reported demand to Trump for full control over the DPR.
