22.12.2025 โข The Day of Lieutenant General Sarvarovโs Assassination
โจThe morning began with a continuation of the previous days' diplomatic optimism, as state media framed the Miami negotiations between Kirill Dmitriev and Steven Witkoff as 'constructive' and 'productive.' However, editorial focus shifted abruptly following the 7:00 AM car bombing in southern Moscow that killed Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov, the General Staff's head of operational training. By midday, both state and independent outlets prioritized the investigation, with the Kremlin formally labeling it a 'terrible murder' and security services pointing toward Ukrainian involvement.
In the afternoon, the narrative branched into geopolitical posturing. State editors highlighted the CIS summit at the Hermitage, specifically the deployment of ten Oreshnik missile systems to Belarus and Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkovโs warnings of reciprocal nuclear testing. Simultaneously, domestic headlines focused on digital tightening, reporting an 80% slowdown of WhatsApp by Roskomnadzor, while economic reports noted increasing pressure on Russian oil prices due to deepening market discounts.
