29.12.2025 ⇢ The Day of the Novgorod Residence Pretext
⌨Morning coverage centered on the post-summit revelations from Mar-a-Lago, with editors highlighting President Zelenskyy’s ambitious request for 30-to-50-year U.S. security guarantees ratified by Congress. The narrative shifted from general peace frameworks to specific friction points, notably the unresolved status of Donbas and the potential for a 60-day ceasefire.
By afternoon, the focus transitioned to a sharp escalation in information warfare. Media outlets prioritized the Kremlin's allegation of a Ukrainian drone attack on President Putin’s residence in Novgorod. Ukrainian editors framed this as a fabricated 'Plan B' designed by Moscow to justify imminent strikes on government buildings in Kyiv and to harden Russia's negotiating stance. Late evening reporting followed the diplomatic fallout of a subsequent Trump-Putin phone call, while domestic headlines were punctuated by the dismissal of Ukraine’s ambassador to the UK, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, and corruption charges against five members of parliament.
