25.08.2025 ⇢ The Day of Krasnov's Supreme Court Application
⌨The day saw significant internal judicial movement, with Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov submitting his application to become Chairman of the Supreme Court, a position for which he later emerged as the sole contender. This development, framed by some outlets as the appointment of a 'main architect of repressions,' marked a notable shift in the legal and political landscape. Concurrently, Russian media extensively covered intensified Ukrainian drone attacks, reporting 21 UAVs intercepted overnight, including two near Moscow, followed by another 37 later in the evening. In the ongoing Ukraine conflict, Russian forces were reported advancing into Konstantinovka and liberating Zaporozhskoye. Domestically, the arrest of the acting Deputy Governor of the Kursk region on theft charges and the detention of a woman for attempting to bomb an FSB building with an icon in Crimea also featured prominently. International focus centered on US President Trump's statements, including his intent to cease US spending on Ukraine, his praise for President Putin, and discussions on nuclear arms reduction with Russia and China. Investigations into gasoline price gouging were also initiated.
