12.04.2025 ⇢ Kellogg Division Proposal Echoes Through Diplomatic Channels
⌨Trump's envoy Keith Kellogg's proposal to divide Ukraine "like Berlin" dominated Russian media following yesterday's St. Petersburg talks. Russia transferred data to US officials about Ukraine's alleged violations of energy infrastructure moratorium, presenting this as evidence of Kyiv's unreliability. Foreign Minister Lavrov, prominent at Turkey's Antalya Forum, claimed the US now acknowledges territorial questions must be addressed in Ukraine.
Russian military reporting claimed Ukrainian forces lost an F-16 fighter jet, with suggestions it might have been shot down by Ukraine's own air defense. Meanwhile, Russian troops reportedly entered Gornal in Kursk region.
Trump extended Russia sanctions initially imposed by Biden while simultaneously exempting electronics from his global tariff regime. The emerging narrative across Russian media frames current discussions as centered on territorial concessions rather than ceasefire arrangements, reflecting a shift from earlier negotiation parameters.
