28.12.2025 ⇢ The Day of the Direct Phone Conversation
⌨Russian editorial priorities on December 28 focused on a direct telephone conversation between Presidents Putin and Trump, positioned by state media as a strategic precursor to Trump's meeting with Zelensky in Florida. Throughout the morning, outlets amplified Foreign Minister Lavrov’s aggressive rhetoric, which labeled the EU the primary obstacle to peace and warned of a 'crushing response' to Western threats. This narrative was synchronized with reports of rapid territorial gains, specifically the capture of Dimitrov and Gulyaypole, which editors framed as a decisive blow to Kiev’s negotiating leverage.
By early afternoon, media attention briefly pivoted to the death of cultural icon Brigitte Bardot and President Putin’s signing of laws exempting officials from income declarations. However, the evening was dominated by the Trump-Putin call. State-aligned sources emphasized Trump’s description of the talk as 'productive' and focused on the Kremlin’s demand for a long-term settlement over a temporary ceasefire, while portraying a 'subdued' Zelensky arriving in Mar-a-Lago amidst ongoing Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian infrastructure.
