20.01.2026 ⇢ The Day Lavrov Buried the Old World Order
⌨Morning coverage focused on the intensifying diplomatic and military fracture between the West and Russia, with state media highlighting Danish military mobilization in Greenland and Lavrov’s assertions that European leaders remain obsessed with Russia’s defeat. Editors transitioned focus toward a domestic military shift, reporting the official creation of specialized drone units and the deployment of students into these forces.
By afternoon, editorial priority centered on Foreign Minister Lavrov’s expansive press conference, where he framed the international legal system as defunct and compared the Greenland crisis to the status of Crimea. Concurrently, independent and business outlets reported on the depletion of national gold reserves and the widespread blocking of citizen bank accounts.
The evening was dominated by the Davos summit, specifically the direct negotiations between Kirill Dmitriev and Donald Trump’s envoys. While state outlets amplified the 'positive' nature of these talks and Trump’s rhetoric against NATO and the UN, independent media highlighted the cancellation of a $800 billion Ukraine aid package as evidence of a total shift in American priorities.
