31.03.2025 ⇢ Day Trump Set Psychological Deadline While Record Conscription Announced
⌨Russian media focused on Trump's "psychological deadline" for Russia to reach a Ukraine ceasefire agreement, with explicit threats of "big problems" for Zelensky if he rejects proposed deals. This represents an escalation from yesterday's reporting of Trump's anger at Putin.
By mid-morning, reports emerged of US-Russia rare earth minerals negotiations beginning, while Ukrainian forces allegedly retreated from positions in Kursk's Guevo village.
The afternoon was dominated by Putin signing a decree for spring conscription of 160,000 people—the largest draft in 14 years according to Moscow Times. Defense officials repeatedly stressed conscripts would not serve in conflict zones.
Other significant developments included the Prosecutor General requesting suspension of the Taliban's terrorist organization status in Russia, Marine Le Pen's four-year prison sentence in France (framed as political elimination), and Moldova expelling three Russian diplomats, prompting threats of retaliation.
