24.08.2025 ⇢ The Day of Widespread Strikes and Diplomatic Terms
⌨
Russian media extensively covered widespread Ukrainian drone attacks throughout the day, starting with incidents near the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant and an escalating fire at the NOVATEK terminal in Ust-Luga. Mid-morning saw significant domestic attention shift to an explosion at the Central Children's World in Moscow, later confirmed as a helium cylinder detonation with casualties. Early afternoon brought prominent reports of a large-scale prisoner exchange with Ukraine, involving 146 individuals on each side. Subsequently, Foreign Minister Lavrov's statements dominated, affirming Russia's "de facto" recognition of Zelensky while asserting Ukraine's right to exist is conditional on fulfilling President Putin's terms, and portraying the US and EU with differing diplomatic approaches.

This unfolds as earlier reports noted Ukraine's readiness to discuss territorial issues with President Putin (Kommersant) and a recent drone interception near Moscow (Interfax.ru, Izvestia).
