21.12.2025 ⇢ The Day of the Miami Peace Overture
⌨Russian editorial priorities on December 21 centered on the progression of talks in Miami between Kirill Dmitriev and Trump administration officials. Following Dmitriev's arrival the previous day, state outlets shifted from logistics to framing the discussions as 'constructive,' while highlighting Dmitriev's warnings against Western 'warmongers' attempting to sabotage the process. This diplomatic optimism was reinforced by morning reports of a potential phone call between Putin and President Trump before year-end and a conditional readiness to resume dialogue with French President Emmanuel Macron.
By afternoon, domestic and military reporting balanced the diplomatic narrative. State media highlighted the 'cleansing' of the Krasnoarmeysk-Dimitrov area and the capture of Svetloe, while dismissing European and Ukrainian peace plan amendments as obstacles to stability. The evening's focus turned to a spike in kinetic activity, with headlines dominated by the interception of 35 Ukrainian drones over the Black Sea and southern Russian regions, alongside the return of a group of Russian citizens from Ukrainian custody.
