26.12.2024The Day The Plane Truth Emerged
Morning reports revealed emergency services evacuated surviving passengers from the Baku-Grozny crash to Moscow, while FSB claimed prevention of assassination plots against military officials. By midday, Azerbaijan government sources confirmed through Euronews that their passenger plane was hit by a Russian missile system, contradicting earlier technical malfunction theories.

A federal emergency was declared for the Krasnodar region oil spill, with cleanup operations expanding. Moscow airports implemented temporary "Plan Kover" restrictions, then resumed operations. Finland detained a Russian tanker over Baltic cable damage.

Evening brought Putin's press conference, where he discussed potential peace talks in Slovakia, ruled out extending Ukraine gas transit contracts, and responded to Lukashenko's request for ten "Oreshnik" systems. Azerbaijan's parliament formally demanded Russian apologies for the plane incident, marking a shift from previous diplomatic restraint.
