18.02.2026 ⇢ The Day of the Medinsky Sideline Meeting
⌨Morning editorial coverage focused on the conclusion of the Geneva trilateral talks, which ended after a brief 90-minute session. Ukrainian outlets highlighted President Zelenskyy’s assessment of "military track" progress regarding the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and ceasefire monitoring, while noting a persistent deadlock over territorial sovereignty. Simultaneously, media reported a tactical shift in the air war, documenting the first use of Russian "mothership" drones carrying FPV strike assets.
By afternoon, attention shifted to a leaked interview with Valerii Zaluzhnyi, who addressed his rift with Zelenskyy and the 2023 counteroffensive failure. However, the day’s primary narrative emerged in the evening: reports of a private, 90-minute meeting between the Ukrainian delegation and Putin’s aide Vladimir Medinsky held without U.S. observers. While Kyiv downplayed the encounter as "nothing special," the New York Times revealed discussions concerning a Donbas demilitarized zone, marking a shift from formal trilateral diplomacy to direct, localized negotiations.
