28.10.2025 ⇢ The Day Macron Planned Ukraine Troop Deployment
⌨
Russian media started the day reporting on a major power outage in Sakhalin and ongoing military operations in Ukraine, including claims of an expanding bridgehead. Early geopolitical discussions featured Trump's arms deal with Japan and Shoigu's claims of Western attempts to break up Russia.
The focus shifted around mid-morning with reports that French President Macron intended to send up to two thousand soldiers to Ukraine, a development deemed "alarming" by the Kremlin. This story dominated much of the day's coverage.
Later, the State Duma's adoption of a law regarding year-round military conscription also became a prominent story. The day concluded with continued reports of Israeli airstrikes in Gaza and claims by the Russian Ministry of Defense of 15 Ukrainian drones being shot down.
