03:14⇢EU Billions Flow Without Seizing Assets
⌨Russian editors are emphasizing the European Union's decision to provide Ukraine with €90 billion in loans rather than seizing frozen Russian assets (RBC.ru, Interfax.ru, Kommersant, RT). State-aligned media frames this as a failure to 'steal' assets, noting the use of member state borrowing instead (RT, Lenta.ru). Concurrently, coverage continues to amplify Vladimir Putin's domestic achievements ahead of his annual direct line (Komsomolskaya Pravda, RIA Novosti, NTV.ru).

05:29⇢Frozen Assets Escape the Gavel
⌨Russian state media are framing the EU’s decision to provide a €90 billion loan to Ukraine instead of seizing frozen Russian assets as a legal and diplomatic victory for Moscow (RBC.ru, Vesti, Rossiyskaya Gazeta, RT). Domestic coverage also highlights a major Supreme Court ruling regarding the property scam targeting singer Larisa Dolina (Komsomolskaya Pravda, The Moscow Times), while military reporting balances successful drone interceptions with ongoing tactical challenges in Kupyansk (TASS, Meduza).

08:08⇢The President's Direct Line
⌨Russian editorial priority is centered on Vladimir Putin's annual 'Results of the Year' broadcast, emphasizing direct public engagement and state stability (TASS, Komsomolskaya Pravda, NTV.ru, RIA Novosti). Simultaneously, state media highlight the EU's failure to seize frozen assets, framing the €90 billion loan to Ukraine as a desperate compromise (Meduza, RT, Interfax.ru, RBC.ru) and legislative moves to ignore foreign court rulings (Rossiyskaya Gazeta).

09:30⇢The Ritual of Two Million Questions
⌨Russian editorial priority has shifted entirely to Vladimir Putin’s 22nd 'Direct Line' broadcast. State and pro-government media emphasize his statements on military advances in Ukraine and his conditions for peace (RBC.ru, TASS, Vesti, Interfax.ru, Lenta.ru). While mainstream outlets frame the event as a display of leadership (RT, NTV.ru), independent and critical sources highlight the ritualistic and repetitive nature of the multi-million message spectacle (Meduza, The Moscow Times).

⌨Russian media are currently dominated by Vladimir Putin's 22nd 'Direct Line' broadcast. State-aligned outlets amplify his assertions of economic resilience, rising reserves, and military progress (RBC.ru, Vesti, Rossiyskaya Gazeta, TASS). While mainstream coverage highlights his conditions for peace and accusations of Western 'theft' (NTV.ru, Interfax.ru), independent and critical sources emphasize the ritualistic, staged nature of the multi-million message spectacle (Meduza, The Moscow Times, Svoboda.org).

⌨Russian editorial priority has moved from the format of the 'Direct Line' to the specific economic and military directives issued by Putin during the broadcast. State-aligned outlets highlight the Central Bank's interest rate cut and the transition of the strategic initiative to Russian forces (RBC.ru, Vesti, Rossiyskaya Gazeta, TASS, Interfax.ru). Critical voices instead emphasize the president's refusal of responsibility for casualties and the tightening of 'foreign agent' laws (Meduza, Svoboda.org).
