25.12.2025 ⇢ The Day of the Trump Peace Envoys Meeting
⌨Editorial priority on Christmas morning centered on a massive SBU and drone offensive against Russian energy infrastructure. Editors synchronized reports of strikes on the Temryuk port and the Orenburg gas plant, followed by early afternoon confirmation of Storm Shadow missile strikes on the Novoshakhtinsk refinery. These operations were framed as a direct response to the Russian 'Christmas strike' predicted in previous days, which manifested in lethal attacks on Odesa’s port and a residential building in Chernihiv.
By late afternoon, the narrative shifted from kinetic retaliation to high-stakes diplomacy. Media outlets transitioned to heavy coverage of President Zelenskyy’s meeting with Donald Trump’s envoys, Howard Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Editors highlighted Zelenskyy’s endorsement of specific 'good ideas' within the emerging peace framework, evolving the 'Twenty-Point' disclosure from the previous day into a tangible negotiating process. This diplomatic optimism was balanced against the General Staff’s reports of intensified Russian pressure near Pokrovsk and the liberation of five villages in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
