23.12.2025 ⇢ The Day of the Seversk Withdrawal
⌨The morning began with editors emphasizing military escalation following President Zelensky's warnings of Christmas strikes. State media prioritized reports of massive Russian 'Kinzhal' missile hits on Ukrainian energy and defense infrastructure, leading to widespread blackouts. Simultaneously, headlines tracked Donald Trump’s announcement of a U.S. naval expansion, framed by Russian outlets as a sign of American strategic ambition for 'steel leviathans.'
By afternoon, editorial focus shifted to the domestic 'Digital Iron Curtain.' State and independent sources reported a deepening conflict between regulators and the public, as WhatsApp and Telegram faced systemic restrictions while the Central Bank proposed new cryptocurrency regulations. The evening was dominated by the tactical collapse of the Ukrainian stronghold in Seversk, with state media highlighting the Ukrainian General Staff’s admission of retreat. This territorial focus was only interrupted by late reports of the death of Libya’s Chief of General Staff in a plane crash in Turkey and leaked DOJ documents regarding Trump’s past associations.
