The morning saw extensive coverage of Putin's temporary administration proposal for Ukraine gaining momentum, with the Foreign Ministry explaining implementation mechanisms. By midday, however, Russian media revealed Trump was "furious" and "very angry" about Putin's statements on Zelensky, threatening Russia with oil tariffs if no Ukraine agreement is reached. This represented a significant shift from previous days' narrative of Russia-US alignment.
Military developments included Russia claiming to capture the village of Zaporozhye in DPR, while outlets reported fierce fighting in Kursk region. The NYT investigation into US military involvement in Ukraine received significant coverage, with claims American personnel coordinated "almost all" HIMARS strikes from a secret center in Wiesbaden, Germany.
Late evening coverage focused on a rooftop shooter in Murmansk who wounded several people before being neutralized by special forces. The Myanmar earthquake continued receiving attention with the death toll reaching 1,700.
