Russian media began the day reporting on new Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow and Ukrainian President Zelensky facing an investigation into military equipment procurement. Concurrently, President Putin's upcoming state visit to India and his scheduled meeting with Hungarian PM Orban were reported. By late morning, the focus shifted to the "Geneva version" of a peace plan for Ukraine, with Moscow having received its key parameters, while an anti-corruption raid targeted a top Zelensky aide. In the afternoon, reports intensified on the potential US recognition of Crimea and Russian-controlled Ukrainian territories, with mentions of Trump's proposals to Putin. The day concluded with prominent coverage of the resignation of Ukrainian President Zelensky's chief of staff, Yermak, with Russian outlets speculating on its implications for Ukraine's leadership. Separately, two "shadow fleet" tankers reportedly exploded and caught fire in the Black Sea near Turkey, and Putin signed amendments to the tax code, including a VAT increase.
