29.12.2024The Day Two Planes Fell
Morning coverage focused on the Jeju Air crash in South Korea, with casualty numbers rising throughout the day from 28 to 179 confirmed deaths.

By afternoon, Azerbaijan announced suspension of flights to ten Russian cities and tightened regulations for Russian citizens' stay in the country. Kazakhstan revealed plans to send the AZAL crash black boxes to Brazil for analysis, marking a significant departure from Russian involvement in the investigation.

Evening brought news of Moscow's rejection of Trump's proposal to delay Ukraine's NATO membership by 20 years, while Russian media faced new Telegram channel blocks in EU countries, prompting threats of reciprocal measures from the Foreign Ministry.
