03.12.2025 ⇢ The Day Russia Denied Rejecting US Peace Plan
⌨
UK media initially focused on reports that Putin had rejected a US peace deal for Ukraine after meeting Trump's envoy in Moscow, stating Russia was 'ready for war' with Europe. These reports emerged early in the morning and continued through the early afternoon, with NATO foreign ministers meeting to discuss the situation. However, the narrative shifted significantly by mid-morning and into the afternoon, as the Kremlin issued denials, claiming it was incorrect to say Putin rejected the entire US peace plan, and that parts of it were 'acceptable'. This evolving diplomatic stance became the central focus of the day's coverage.
Separately, new and disturbing images from Jeffrey Epstein's private Caribbean island were released in the evening, gaining significant media attention.
