29.01.2025 ⇢ The Day of Hundred Drones Above Nuclear Plants
⌨
Morning reports focused on a mass drone attack targeting strategic infrastructure, including Smolensk Nuclear Plant and Sibur facilities, with Russian media claiming over 100 UAVs were intercepted. The events prompted flight restrictions at Pulkovo airport.
By midday, attention shifted to Tucker Carlson's claims about US plans to assassinate Putin, which the Kremlin dismissed as unsubstantiated while the Duma called for international investigation. The narrative merged with Putin's continued refusal to negotiate with Zelensky, deemed "illegitimate."
Afternoon coverage documented a Dubai-Moscow flight's emergency landing in Astrakhan, while economic headlines revealed a 27% increase in bread prices and potential nationalization of Domodedovo Airport. Evening reports highlighted new developments in Syria, where the new leadership announced the dissolution of the constitution and security apparatus, while requesting compensation from Russia for "past mistakes."
