One Russian paper today concludes that the war in Ukraine has reached “a fork in the road: either real peace talks on the entire range of issues, or the next level of escalation.” What the Russian press is saying about the prospects for peace. #ReadingRussia

@paddyney Thank you Patrick.

Steve Witkoff's in St Petersburg to meet President Putin: what are this morning’s Russian newspapers saying about the visit? Plus, an interesting editorial…with a warning for the Russian authorities. #ReadingRussia

Donald Trump says the Russian sanctions waiver is to help negotiate peace. But one Russian paper today writes: “We will make a deal with Ukraine entirely on our terms.” Another paper: “Russia’s borders, as we know, do not end anywhere.” #ReadingRussia

@RosaPetrovna Thank you so much. I’m glad you liked it and found it interesting.

“A beautiful deal”, "a rotten fish" and a very long journey back to Russia. My reflections on a dramatic week. And Valentina has sent me a present. #ReadingRussia

@red_loeb Door to door, yes.

@red_loeb Thank you very much. It took a while, but I got back.

When flying from Moscow these days, you can never be sure your flight will depart until you actually take off. We’ve been asked to leave the plane & return to the terminal. “Closure of air space for security reasons” is the announcement.

"In this building lived and worked journalist Anna Politkovskaya. Killed 7 October 2006"

[Steve Rosenberg @BBCSteveR]

20 years ago today Anna Politkovskaya, one of Russia’s most prominent investigative journalists, was murdered. I found no mention of the anniversary in today's Russian newspapers. #ReadingRussia

What’s top story today on Irkutsk TV?
Not the death of a Russian plague researcher.

I watch the local TV news bulletin and take a look at today’s Russian newspapers. #ReadingRussia

[Steve Rosenberg @BBCSteveR]

Today one Russian paper claims “Russia’s military has been given political blank cheque to carry out full demilitarisation & deindustrialisation of Ukraine.” But nothing in the papers from Irkutsk, where there have been reports of a potentially “dangerous infection.” #ReadingRussia
