26.12.2025The Day of the Miami Channel Confirmation
Editorial priority on December 26 centered on the formalization of back-channel diplomacy between the Kremlin and the Trump administration. Following reports of a 'Miami mission' earlier in the week, state-aligned media confirmed high-level contacts between Yuri Ushakov and the White House, while President Putin briefed Russian billionaires on his specific territorial demands for the Donbas. By midday, editors framed these diplomatic movements alongside a reported 90% consensus on a U.S.-Ukraine peace plan, including discussions of a ceasefire for potential referendums.
Internal security narratives intensified throughout the afternoon. State outlets highlighted the 12-year sentencing of a former Foreign Ministry official for treason and the mass detention of a religious group in St. Petersburg accused of supporting Ukraine. Simultaneously, military reporting focused on the capture of the village of Kosovtsevo, which TASS presented as a strategic bridgehead for further advances, while independent sources focused on the five-year sentencing of Meduza publisher Galina Timchenko.
