16.01.2025The Day Biden Departed Without Naming Russia
Russian media's morning coverage focused intensely on Biden's farewell address, particularly his omission of Russia and warnings about domestic oligarchy. This narrative shifted by midday as new arrests emerged in General Kirillov's murder case, with three additional suspects detained.

Military reporting claimed interception of 27 Ukrainian drones overnight, while coverage continued of the Voronezh oil facility attack from previous days. The afternoon brought extensive discussion of Trump team's proposed sanctions strategy, reportedly aimed at leveraging oil restrictions for peace negotiations.

Evening coverage shifted to Putin's decree declaring 2025 the "Year of the Defender of the Fatherland" and military reserve call-ups, while international focus remained on the fragile Hamas-Israel deal. The sudden death of director David Lynch dominated late coverage across all major outlets.
