27.12.2025 โ‡ข The Day of the Kyiv Power Outages
โŒจMorning coverage focused on a massive Russian aerial assault on Kyiv, with editors highlighting the scrambling of Polish jets and the resulting power outages for half a million residents. This escalation was framed as Putinโ€™s strategic response to President Zelenskyyโ€™s upcoming Florida summit with President Trump. Media attention shifted toward the diplomatic stakes as Zelenskyy moved from Canada toward the U.S., signaling a potential 60-day ceasefire proposal.
By early afternoon, editorial priority transitioned to the star-studded wedding of Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay. Tabloids focused on internal family fractures, specifically the exclusion of Peatyโ€™s parents and a reported scuffle involving Gordon Ramsay. Broadsheets simultaneously tracked political pressure on Keir Starmer regarding the EU customs union. By evening, the narrative remained split between Zelenskyyโ€™s arrival in the U.S. for peace talks and the domestic spectacle of the Ramsay-Peaty family feud, which dominated tabloid digital real estate.
