24.04.2025 ⇢ Day Trump Demands Putin Stop Kyiv Strikes While Shoigu Threatens Nuclear Response
⌨
Russian media extensively covered a massive missile strike on Kyiv that killed at least 8-12 people, prompting an unusually direct rebuke from Trump, who told Putin "Vladimir, stop!" and called the timing "very bad" for peace efforts. This contrasted with yesterday's collapsed London talks.
By midday, outlets reported General Ivan Popov's sentencing to five years in prison on fraud charges, with military correspondents portraying him as "a winner" despite his conviction.
Throughout the day, Russia maintained contradictory messaging: Defense Minister Shoigu threatened nuclear weapon use against Western aggression while claiming the US understood Russia's ceasefire position. Multiple outlets covered Politico's report that the White House might lift Nord Stream 2 sanctions.
The FSB's alleged foiling of a drone terror plot in Nizhny Novgorod featured prominently, while by evening, Russian media highlighted Trump's comments that Ukraine would find it "difficult" to reclaim Crimea and that Russia made "significant concessions" by not claiming all of Ukraine.
