Pacific Quake, Atlantic Tariffs

Russian media's editorial focus on July 30 was largely dominated by a powerful earthquake off Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands. Early reports detailed tsunami warnings, evacuations, and significant aftershocks, with the tremor described as the strongest since 1952. By early afternoon, attention shifted to the post-quake eruption of the Klyuchevskoy volcano and lava flows. Concurrently, international economic actions by US President Trump became a prominent narrative. Following earlier reports of his ultimatum to Russia, media widely covered his intent to impose 25% tariffs on India over trade with Russia, evolving later in the day to include 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods. Domestically, the blocking of Speedtest due to perceived "threats" and discussions around national messengers for digital signatures also featured.
