27.01.2026The Day of the Twenty-Point Separate Peace Plan
Morning coverage focused on a humanitarian crisis as 80% of Kharkiv lost power and a drone strike in Odesa left 23 injured. Editors framed these events alongside a structural reshuffle of President Zelenskyy's security cabinet, signaling a shift toward defensive attrition.
By midday, editorial focus pivoted to a reported U.S. ultimatum: security guarantees in exchange for a Ukrainian withdrawal from Donbas. This diplomatic pressure coincided with Zelenskyy’s public optimism regarding EU accession by 2027 and the restoration of ties with Georgia, creating a narrative of geopolitical realignment despite ongoing kinetic pressure on the Pokrovsk sector.
The evening was dominated by the revelation of a 20-point U.S. peace plan to be signed separately with Kyiv and Moscow. This diplomatic development emerged even as editors prioritized late reports of a lethal drone strike on a passenger train in Kharkiv, which resulted in five deaths. The day concluded with the media balancing Zelenskyy's stated readiness for direct talks with Putin against the reality of intensifying attacks on civilian transit.
