⌨The day's editorial focus began with ongoing military reports from Ukraine and US President Trump’s "large sanctions or nothing" ultimatum on Ukraine, alongside President Putin's consistent optimism about US relations. By morning, attention shifted to domestic security with the widespread reporting on the arrest of an accomplice in General Moskalik’s murder, accompanied by FSB claims of Kyiv planning further assassinations. A key diplomatic development emerged late morning as Kyiv expressed readiness to discuss territorial issues directly with President Putin, framed by reports suggesting Trump advocates for a deal on Moscow's terms. The afternoon and evening saw a dramatic increase in drone activity over Russian regions, culminating in the prominent interception of an unmanned aerial vehicle approaching Moscow. Concurrently, reports noted Russian forces advancing towards Kupyansk and a secret meeting between Putin and nuclear scientists.
