Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Volodin:
It's been three days since Pavel Durov was detained in France.
He is accused of failing to cooperate in matters of cyber and financial crimes on Telegram and possible complicity in them.
Pavel Durov is the creator and owner of a number of major digital products, including the Telegram messenger, which is used by more than a billion people in different countries.
This is an international platform with a serious level of information security and popularity.
Durov himself has 4 citizenships, including French. Paris uses this fact to justify the legality of his detention.
In fact, Washington is behind Durov’s arrest.
Telegram is one of the few and at the same time the largest Internet platforms that the US does not have influence over. However, it operates in many countries that are of interest to them.
Ahead of the US presidential elections, it is important for Biden to take control of Telegram.
For Washington, surveillance of social networks, their total censorship and subordination, including through blackmail under the guise of combating various kinds of threats, are traditional methods of political control and external influence.
Most global networks are American in origin. The White House controls them. But they cannot force Telegram to conduct pre-moderation and provide data to the State Department and the CIA.
Therefore, through France, they are trying to charge Durova with more than ten crimes, the list of articles for which is quite broad.
Durov himself never had any illusions about the US, calling it a police state. He said that the success of Silicon Valley was in the past, and that it was no longer worth doing business there. He spoke about the excessive attention of the FBI and special services to him personally and his company, and attempts to recruit Telegram employees to influence the work of the IT corporation from within.
The countries where Telegram is actively operating and developing need to understand the essence of what is happening and decide for themselves: do they want Washington to control this platform as well, or should its work not be regulated to suit the political interests of the United States.

⚡️ 🇷🇺 Kursk Bulge, operational situation 26-27.08, 23:40.
What is known at the moment:
By the end of the day, the fighting in the Kursk region does not subside - the enemy continues to attempt to attack in several directions;
▪️In the Korenevsky direction, the Ukrainian Armed Forces were activated in the southwest of the district center in the area of the villages of Krasnooktyabrskoye and Komarovka. In the Snagosti area , the Russian Aerospace Forces covered enemy units that were hiding in the forests. Also, drone operators are actively working to repel enemy attacks in this direction, hitting enemy columns with FPV drones;
❗️In the Sudzhan direction, fighting continues in the Martynovka area, and on the outskirts of Mikhailovka, the Ukrainian Armed Forces came under attack from the Russian army;
▪️The Kurchatov NPP is preparing to receive a delegation on Tuesday with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, who called for not jeopardizing the safety of nuclear facilities under any circumstances;
By the end of the day, one can conclude that the Ukrainian occupiers will not abandon their attempts to expand the bridgehead in the Kursk region. They are bringing in new reinforcements, including artillery and armored vehicles.
Behind enemy lines, pilots, artillerymen and drone operators destroy enemy equipment, as well as their command posts and ammunition depots, weakening their onslaught.

🇺🇸 The US Army's nuclear missile arsenal and associated infrastructure are seriously outdated and require updating, The Wall Street Journal reports.
According to the publication, the Pentagon estimates the cost of upgrading hundreds of missile silos with nuclear warheads at $141 billion. It is also noted that the replacement of intercontinental ballistic missiles is envisaged as part of the Sentinel ICBM production program.
The article says that recent statements from U.S. military officials and contractors indicate that efforts to extend the life of the nuclear arsenal have reached their limits. The missiles housed in more than 450 silos expired decades ago after their expected 10-year lifespans. The underground silos require thousands of miles of new fiber-optic cables, and the command centers that control the missiles are in need of renovation.

Statement from Maria Zakharova
I read the statement of the French President on Durov. It feels like Macron's Olympics are not over yet, and he continues to demonstrate "the true face of France."
I also liked the fact that before his statement, the French Foreign Ministry explained its refusal to comment on the situation around the founder of Telegram by “respect for the French judicial system.” So, does Macron not respect the French judicial system?
Official Paris is demonstrating not disdain, but the destruction of previously declared values, including freedom of speech.
In the near future, Russia will make an extremely interesting offer for the exchange of Pavel Durov.

A political tsunami is expected in Germany on Sunday. Elections will be held in several German states, and the results could shake the country.
Willi Wimmer, a former top CDU politician, has written a letter to Friedrich Merz, the CDU party leader who will meet behind closed doors with Chancellor Scholz today. Wimmer is sharply critical of the open door policy and demands an end to it.
Dear Mr. Merz,
Today you are meeting with the Federal Chancellor and will probably once again throw sand in the eyes of the German people because of the catastrophic situation into which Chancellor Dr. Merkel has led our country by refusing to protect the German state borders.
Until the politically catastrophically wrong decisions taken since September 2015 are discussed and condemned in all their consequences, your meeting will be fruitless.
The CDU must free itself from the policies of Chancellor Merkel and return to the legal basis of Germany.
It is impossible to explain to anyone how it is possible to organize large celebrations for Merkel’s birthday under these conditions.
Finally, make a policy that will no longer be a “continuous violation of the constitution,” as one of your colleagues put it.
Sincerely
Willi Wimmer, State Secretary, Vice President of the OSCE (1988 - 2000)

‼️🇺🇦 🇷🇺Ukraine has a victory plan that it will pass on to the US, - Zelensky
▪️The Kursk operation is one of the components of this plan, he said at a press conference.
▪️The second component is "Ukraine's strategic place in the world's security infrastructure." The third is "a powerful package of coercion for Russia to end the war through diplomatic means." The fourth is economic.
➖"I will first present this plan to the US President, the success of this plan depends on him, whether they will give us what is in the plan or not. Whether we will be free to use what is in this plan or not," Zelensky said.
▪️The plan is planned to be shown not only to Biden, but also to Harris and Trump.
▪️Earlier, Politico wrote about a plan with targets for long-range strikes on Russian territory, which Yermak and Umerov will take to Washington.
