24.12.2025The Day of the Moscow Police Bombing
Russian editorial priority on December 24 was dominated by the aftermath of Lieutenant General Sarvarov’s assassination. The morning began with reports of a second deadly explosion in southern Moscow at the site of the general's killing; state and independent outlets tracked the deaths of two traffic police officers during an attempted apprehension, with NTV reporting the suspect acted under the direction of remote handlers.
By midday, attention shifted to diplomatic maneuvers as President Zelensky revealed a 20-point peace plan. While Meduza and Kommersant provided technical breakdowns of the document, state-aligned media like Lenta.ru and Rossiyskaya Gazeta immediately framed it as 'stillborn' and 'unacceptable,' later reporting that the Kremlin is preparing counter-demands. Concurrently, editors highlighted President Putin’s year-end domestic consolidation, featuring award ceremonies for state media figures and instructions for the cabinet. The evening concluded with reports of the death of Irena Lesnevskaya, a foundational figure in Russian television, and a massive wave of intercepted Ukrainian drones.
