Discussions detail the "Alaska formula" for the meeting and its implications, particularly concerns over Ukraine's potential exclusion (Komsomolskaya Pravda, The Moscow Times English). Additionally, the EU's allocation of funds to Ukraine from frozen Russian assets is noted (NTV.ru), alongside ongoing reports of internal digital control exercises targeting messenger calls (Kommersant, The Moscow Times).
