25.05.2026 ⇢ The Day Systematic Strikes on Kyiv Were Announced
⌨

The day was defined by Russia's Foreign Ministry announcement of systematic strikes on Kyiv's defense industry and decision-making centers, framed as retaliation for Ukrainian attacks on civilians, particularly the Starobilsk dormitory strike. State-aligned outlets (TASS, RIA Novosti, Lenta.ru, Komsomolskaya Pravda, NTV, Kommersant) led with this threat, with Lavrov informing Rubio. Earlier, coverage focused on the aftermath of a mined gas carrier from Europe, the liberation of Dobropasovo, and foreign journalists visiting Starobilsk. Independent Meduza and The Moscow Times reported the same threat but noted mobilization warnings and Zvyagintsev's Cannes plea. The day also saw Putin signing a law on using the military to protect Russians abroad, and the US-Iran deal progressing.
