03:14EU 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).

09:30The 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).
