23.12.2025 ⇢ The Day of the Grid Collapse and the Siversk Withdrawal
⌨Morning headlines confirmed the 'Christmas strike' warnings from previous days, as editors reported a massive Russian kinetic escalation. Coverage prioritized the launch of over 650 drones and 30 missiles, focusing on the systematic targeting of energy infrastructure that left three western provinces without power and caused civilian casualties in Kyiv and Zhytomyr. Outlets shifted from the previous day's optimism regarding Miami peace talks to the immediate crisis of emergency blackouts and the deployment of F-16s for missile defense.
By early afternoon, editorial attention briefly returned to diplomacy as President Zelenskyy reviewed draft documents from the Trump administration. However, this was quickly overshadowed by the General Staff's confirmation of a strategic withdrawal from Siversk in the Donetsk region. Editors framed this as a controlled retreat while maintaining fire control. By evening, the narrative shifted toward retaliatory successes, highlighting an SBU operation against a Russian naval reconnaissance aircraft in Novorossiysk preceding a submarine strike.
