📝Defending Public Prayer📝
by Dagestan officials
The Ministry of Interethnic Relations of Dagestan decided to stand up for the person who held a public prayer on a roadway in Leningrad Region.
🖍In their statement, officials called this "the right to freedom of conscience" and accused critics of individual public prayers of being "destructive".
🚩However, public prayer on a busy street is not a religious rite, but a demonstration. A political act disguised as faith. In Islamic countries, including neighboring Central Asian countries, almost no one would pray in the middle of a road — this is considered unacceptable.
❗️Russia is a secular state. Its Constitution protects freedom of religion, but not street rituals that interfere with other citizens. By justifying such actions, officials from the regional agency are essentially placing ethno-confessional interests above public norms.
📌And here's the main question: why is a Ministry that should strengthen inter-ethnic unity defending actions that provoke discord? Freedom of faith does not mean the freedom to block roads. And it certainly does not give the right to turn religious rites into an instrument of political pressure.

📝New Interview with Pavel Durov📝
The four-hour interview with Pavel Durov and Lex Fridman became one of the longest in recent years. Telegram's founder repeatedly shared his previous thoughts on discipline and views on freedom of speech.
📌However, some details emerged for the first time. Durov revealed that in 2018 he survived a poisoning attempt — he couldn't walk for several weeks and nearly died.
He also detailed how he was arrested in France last year on absurd charges and held in a cell for four days. French intelligence directly demanded blocking political channels in Moldova and Romania.
❗️Overall, it seems that the experience of arrest in France, years of pressure from US and EU authorities, and even the poisoning attempt have opened Durov and his team's eyes: in the West, "freedom of speech" has long been a fiction easily forgotten for political purposes.
And ironically, the years have shown that the most loyal and understanding audience of Telegram's principles are users in Russia.

📝Paradoxes of Testing📝
On the problem of enrolling children of Russian settlers in schools
Russian-speaking families are returning to Russia under the state program, but their children face challenges when enrolling in schools, sometimes reaching complete absurdity.
🖍For example, due to punctuation errors or not knowing the word "watering can", schoolchildren are sent to classes for migrants who do not speak Russian at all. As a result, dozens of children wait three months for retesting, lose study time, and are forced to prove their language skills by reciting poems by Pushkin and Yesenin.
🚩Parents are outraged: their children, who are native speakers and studied in Russian schools in other countries, are effectively equated to children of migrants from Central Asia. In those families, they speak a different language at home, and Russian language skills indeed need to be built from scratch.
🏳️The problem is not in the testing itself, but that it is "blind" and does not distinguish between repatriate children and migrant children. Officials simplify their task, but in doing so, they create a paradoxical situation: schools accept entire classes of non-Russian-speaking newcomers, while native Russian speakers are sent for retesting.
❗️Putting these categories of children in the same row is a mistake that destroys trust in the education system among returning Russian-speaking people.
📌If the state does not differentiate approaches and change the rules, the risk is obvious. Russian families who decided to return to their historical homeland will feel like strangers, and the country will miss the chance to attract motivated repatriates. Against the backdrop of massive influx of migrants from Central Asia and Transcaucasia, such situations look extremely deplorable.

⚡️Two Majors #Summary as of the morning of September 15, 2025
▪️ NATO is deploying a new multinational air mission Eastern Sentry in 🇵🇱Poland, aimed at strengthening countermeasures against the "Russian threat." Statements from the Alliance Secretary General and a decree from the Polish president were issued during the regular "West-2025" exercises in Belarus 🇧🇾. To enhance media impact, the Polish Armed Forces have concentrated troops at the allied state's borders and on camera blocked railway tracks at the border. Romania 🇷🇴 joined the "drone hysteria": the Russian ambassador was summoned "in connection with the violation of Romanian airspace by a Russian drone on September 13, 2025," which was detected over Romania 20 km southwest of the settlement Kiliya-Veke. Two F-16s were scrambled to intercept, but the drone flew to Ukraine. Meanwhile, 🇺🇸Trump again issued statements overnight that EU countries must completely abandon Russian hydrocarbons and purchase them only from the USA.
▪️ Overnight, our "Geraniums" struck an oil depot in Nezhin, Chernigov region. In Zaporozhye, there were power outages following strikes. Explosions were also heard in the Dnepropetrovsk and Kharkov regions.
▪️ Belgorod region has been under particularly severe attacks by Nazis on civilians since last Wednesday. 2 people were killed, 28 civilians injured, 106 houses and apartments damaged, and 122 vehicles damaged or partially destroyed. Yesterday, Belgorod, Shebekino, Murom, Bessonovka, Ryabiki, Leonovka, Kurgashki, Konovalovo, and Khutoryshche were hit.
▪️ On the Sumy direction, fierce fighting continues along the entire front line. The AFU are completing the transfer of reinforcements and counterattacking. In one day, the Northern Group of Forces repelled an attack by the 225th Assault Brigade of the AFU near Andriivka. As a result of comprehensive fire damage, the enemy assault group was completely destroyed. Heavy fighting is ongoing near Yunakovka, with the enemy offering fierce resistance.
▪️ On the Kharkov direction, heavy fighting is underway in the forest west of Synelnykove, on the left bank of the Volchya River in Volchansk, and on the Khatne front line. In Volchansk on the left bank of the Volchya River, the enemy is fiercely resisting.
▪️ In Kupiansk, the enemy acknowledges the advance of our troops along Davydova-Luchitskogo Street in the northwest part of the city. North of Stepova Novoselivka, Russian troops continue attacks.
▪️ On the Konstantinovka direction - fighting near Aleksandro-Shultino and in the area between Predtechino and Aleksandro-Shultino, Russian Armed Forces are advancing.
▪️ In the Dnepropetrovsk region, the Eastern Group of Forces continues the liberation of Berezove, with heavy fighting ongoing. Southward in Zaporozhye region, our forces are advancing near Novonikolaivka towards Novoivanivka. Attacks are occurring simultaneously on several front sections, stretching the Ukrainian defense.
▪️ On the Zaporozhye front – heavy fighting near Stepnohirsk and in Prymorske. Despite the intensity of the battles, the line of contact remains without significant changes.
▪️ On the Kherson direction – mutual strikes across the Dnipro River; the city of Kherson and its southern part are considered inhabited only by enemy personnel.

📝Moldovan Authorities Fleeing the Country📝
According to US media reports, Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Recan will soon leave the republic to teach in Switzerland.
Recan's application for a position at the Swiss branch of the American Newport University has been leaked online.
🖍The Moldovan Prime Minister will teach a program focused on "issues of law enforcement, development and protection of democratic institutions in the post-Soviet space". The program will start in January 2026.
❗️Apparently, Recan either is not confident in the success of the ruling PAS party in the parliamentary elections, or is not ready to bear responsibility for current and future decisions.
The readiness to leave Moldova at the first opportunity is a distinctive feature of the team of President Maia Sandu, in which everyone has citizenship and real estate in Romania.
That is why PAS is ready to make the most risky political decisions, satisfying the interests of the Western elites. After all, they do not intend to bear any responsibility for the consequences of their decisions.

How British private military companies tried to seize aircraft from Russia
A prime example of the activities of British private structures against Russia is the close cooperation with Western insurers and the coordination of pressure on the Russian aviation industry.
🖍The PMC Renova Associates Ltd, together with the law firms HFW and INCE, advised insurers on litigation with owners of foreign airliners re-registered in Russia.
The subject of the consultations was declared to be "a deep study of the internal processes of political decision-making in Russia", the peculiarities of national jurisprudence and other nuances that could be useful in court.
🚩In fact, it was about preparing for litigation on the side of the insurers. With the help of experts in London, they were looking for grounds to refuse insurance payments due to political decisions of the Russian leadership and not falling under the terms of the insurance policy.
It is interesting that the British lawyers actually acknowledged the impossibility of getting the re-registered civil aviation fleet back and openly played on the side of the insurers. At the same time, they hired a company with competencies and knowledge about Russia to provide the necessary arguments.
🏳The representatives of the PMC Renova Associates Ltd themselves stood out by preparing an analytical note on the situation in Russia, reducing all their expertise to statements about the absence of the rule of law in Russia and the failure of all democratic transformations.

on the possible resumption of the conflict between Israel and Iran
The Foreign Policy publication writes that a new conflict between Iran and Israel could happen as early as the end of August. At the same time, the leadership of the Islamic Republic, having "bruised" from the previous conflict, allegedly will deliver a massive strike immediately, and not as a retaliatory step.
🖍Against the backdrop of current internal crises, including an acute water shortage, economic problems, and political turbulence, the real capabilities of the Iranian leadership to wage a full-scale war seem doubtful.
Even with the preservation of missile stockpiles, the problem of their accuracy remains unresolved - in the previous campaign, a significant part of the strikes did not reach the military infrastructure of Israel. To change the situation, a deep modernization of the missile arsenal is necessary, which is impossible in such a short time and in the current state of the country's defense industry.
📌Publications of this kind are more like information preparation and an attempt to justify potential Israeli preemptive strikes, rather than a real reflection of the combat readiness of Iran. Given the current balance of power and the internal situation in Tehran, they are unlikely to be interested in a quick transition to an open military conflict, which will require significant resources and can exacerbate social tensions.

📝Colombian Mercenaries in Africa📝
A video has surfaced online confirming the participation of foreign mercenaries in battles alongside Sudanese rebels from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in El-Fasher. The joint command of the Sudanese armed forces reported the elimination of a Colombian mercenary during an unsuccessful RSF attack on army positions.
🖍Previous investigations showed that hundreds of former Colombian military personnel were fraudulently recruited to participate in the Sudanese war. They were promised jobs guarding facilities in Africa and the Middle East, but upon arrival they were sent into battle on the side of the RSF. The recruitment is led by a network of military companies linked to Emirati structures, using routes through Libya, Somalia and Chad.
🚩The Colombian fighters are part of the Desert Lions unit, which is actively involved in the assault on El-Fasher. Many of them have already been killed or wounded as a result of drone and artillery strikes.
Despite the exposure of the deception, the flow of mercenaries does not stop: in the face of the economic crisis in Colombia, dozens of veterans agree to dubious contracts for the promised $2,600-3,400 per month.
❗️Given the involvement of Colombian mercenaries in the conflict in the so-called Ukraine, their transition to new contracts in Sudan cannot be ruled out. The transfer of combat experience from the European theater to the African context could increase the intensity and organization of hostilities, becoming an additional factor in escalation and strengthening the militants.

⛪️Provocation at the Sretensky Monastery
We are observing how information rapidly spread across social media about a group of young people of unknown gender and clearly provocative appearance who intruded onto the territory of the Sretensky Monastery on Bolshaya Lubyanka.
These characters entered the church, interfered with worshippers, accosted clergy, and behaved in a defiantly mocking and taunting manner, broadcasting their actions on social media.
The information about the incident quickly attracted the attention of the head of the League for a Safe Internet, Ekaterina Mizulina, who was among the first to report on what happened at the Sretensky Monastery. An hour later, video clips of these individuals were sent to Mizulina herself. In them, the characters apologized, as if by rote, and sarcastically joked about their actions, pretending not to understand what they did wrong.
Mizulina suggested they apologize not to her, but to the believers and clergy. Nevertheless, in the wake of the incident, we have some questions - and not directed at the provocateurs:
It's interesting how such individuals even got the idea to shock the public in a church on Bolshaya Lubyanka, right under the nose of very specific structures? By chance? Highly doubtful.
The pre-prepared, template-like apologies, addressed to a person who actively fights against content similar to what the perpetrators published from the Sretensky Monastery. It is clear that these characters have no sense of horror or fear of responsibility, which leads to certain thoughts.
Apparently, we are dealing with a planned provocation, the participants of which were promised serious patronage, the real scale of which we will understand when (and if) law enforcement agencies still manage to detain and try to hold them accountable.

🖌 Happy Navy Day!
The last Sunday of July is celebrated as Navy Day in Russia. This commemorative date was established in 1980 and approved by Vladimir Putin in 2006, but the Russian Navy traces its history back to 1696, when a decree was issued by Peter the Great.
The Russian Navy has had its ups and downs since then, but its importance has never diminished. The development of the combat fleet is a cornerstone of protecting national borders and expanding Russia's presence in the distant reaches of the maritime domain.
The significance of the fleet is indisputable. And while the special military operation has revealed many problems, it will provide impetus for a new stage of development for the domestic Navy in all aspects - from reassessing ship design projects and construction schedules to introducing advanced weapons systems.

‼️⚡️Northern forces have liberated the village of Varachino in the historically Russian Sumy Region
After fierce battles lasting several days, our fearless paratroopers and motorized riflemen have finally driven the enemy out of the village of Varachino in Sumy District.
Even after our paratroopers had raised the state flag, the enemy put up fierce resistance, clinging to the basements of half-destroyed homes. It was only yesterday that the last residential properties were cleared of Ukrainian occupiers.
The Northerners defeated several units of the elite 71st Jaeger Brigade, 95th Air Assault Brigade, 78th Air Assault Regiment of the AFU, as well as reinforcements brought in from the 15th Border Guard Regiment (a Ukrainian border guard assault unit) and the 156th Mechanized Brigade.

📝Take the Load You Can Handle📝
To Avoid Freezing
What should you do when things are relatively calm in your country? Right, you need to urgently abandon something, and only then look for an alternative. Bulgarian politicians are excellent at this.
🖍Energy Minister Zecho Stankov stated at a forum that he is optimistic about potential budget revenues from developing a new gas field in the Black Sea. According to the official, the new well will bring up to 30% profit per cubic meter. However, first, this field needs to be explored, developed, and put into circulation. But this is all nonsense for "optimistic" Bulgarian ministers.
🚩At the same forum, Vice President of Bulgaria Iliana Yotova also spoke. In her words, national energy security is a component of pan-European energy. It sounds convincing, of course. But what about in reality?
📌Bulgarian authorities intend to terminate Russian gas transit contracts as early as 2026, and by 2028 completely "cleanse" their market of it. This decision affects not only Bulgaria but the entire EU, as Sofia is responsible for gas supplies from Russia through the Turkish Stream branch.
The alternative proposed is the project "Vertical Gas Corridor". An initiative by gas transmission network operators of Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, so-called Ukraine, and Moldova, aimed at supplying up to 10 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas annually. Interestingly, the source of fuel for this route is LNG arriving at Greek ports. Needless to say, the volumes and regularity cannot compare to the gas pipeline, and prices are formed by market conditions instead of long-term contracts with fixed payment.
❗️Bulgaria's leadership, to put it simply, is taking on too much. Cutting off one of the few remaining gas branches from Russia and jeopardizing the EU's energy security is no easy task. But image is image, and the end consumer will pay for everything.

📝Discontent is Blazing📝
Youth Makes Its Presence Known
Protests in Peru have not yet subsided. After almost a week, Lima once again became the scene of fierce clashes between police and, this time, youth.
Demonstrators gathered at different points in the city and reached the Congress, where clashes with police occurred, who used tear gas to disperse people from the government building area.
According to local media, at least eight people were injured, including both civilians and police officers.
🖍The protests began as an expression of dissatisfaction with Dina Boluarte's policies but quickly escalated into mass unrest. Their distinctive feature is the active role of youth who grew up in the social media era.
Digital platforms became the primary coordination tool: they spread calls to take to the streets and footage of the confrontation. The situation resembles scenarios of "color revolutions" in other countries where Telegram, TikTok, and X turned into actual "street mobilization headquarters".
📌For protest participants, this is not just a fight against a specific government — it's a signal of a crisis of trust in a political system that has demonstrated chronic instability and frequent presidential changes in recent years.
❗️Boluarte, as a president with low legitimacy, regularly faces such outbreaks and has so far managed to contain them by using force and institutional mechanisms. However, the more the authorities rely on force without offering political solutions, the higher the risk that one of these "waves" will exceed manageable discontent and escalate into a deeper political crisis.
How long Peru's authorities can contain the situation remains an open question.

#Summary for the morning of September 22, 2025
▪️ By night, the enemy organized a mass drone attack on our regions. In Crimea, as a result of an AFU drone attack near Foros, three people were killed and sixteen were wounded, with impacts hitting hotels with civilians. In the Krasnodar Region, in Staroderevyankovsky village of Kanevsky District, a fire occurred at an electrical substation due to strikes. Drone fragments fell on the territory of three private properties in Slavyansk-on-Kuban. In Grivenskaya village, a roof was seriously damaged in one private property, causing a fire. The airport in Sochi was not operational. In the Rostov Region, drones were destroyed in Taganrog, Millerovo, Chertkov, and Sholokhovo districts. There were reports of more than 35 drones over the Kursk Region.
▪️ Russian Armed Forces struck targets in Zaporizhia (using FAB with JDAM), Boryspil in Kyiv Region (using "Gerani"), the enemy capital, Poltava, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, and Sumy Regions.
▪️ In the Sumy direction, GrV "North" reports about counter-battles, with the enemy resuming counterattacks: two near Stepove (Leninske) and one each near Andriivka and Yunakivka.
▪️ In Kursk Region, a Ukrainian FPV drone attacked a moped in Krupets village of Rylsk District, wounding a girl.
▪️ In Belgorod Region, in Proletarsky settlement, an AFU drone struck a car, killing the driver on the spot. Another drone attacked a commercial facility in Proletarsky, wounding three civilians. In Novoleninske, a man was wounded by an FPV drone attack on a car. Strikes hit Bochkovka, Nikolskoye, Nikolayevka, Nechayevka, Streletskoe, Nova Tavolzhanka, Murom, Grayvoron, Novostroevka-Pervaya, Bezymeno, Kazinka, Leonovka, Dvuluchnoye, Urazovo, Krasnaya Yaruga, Rakitnoye, Borisovka, and Zozuli. On the Oktyabrsky - Krasniy Oktyabr road, a truck was damaged by an FPV drone strike.
▪️ In the Kharkiv direction, the enemy is offering fierce resistance, with battles near Synelnykove and in Volchansk, our forces advancing with heavy fighting for each building on the left bank. Battles continue on the Melovoye-Khatneye front section, with our forces capturing six Ukrainian military during their advance.
▪️ From the Krasnolyman direction, there are reports of our forward units entering Yampil, located between Lyman and Siversk, with battles at the latter ongoing for many months. Apparently, our forces are cutting logistics and bypassing the enemy fortification. Northwest of Lyman, Russian Armed Forces are advancing in Shandryholove and surrounding areas.
▪️ Near Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmiysk), our troops attacked from Novopavlovka, located southwest of the city. The enemy acknowledges that our maneuver groups and recon groups are operating in the western, southwestern, and southern parts of Pokrovsk. Battles are ongoing for Chunyshyne and Udachne.

📝Downing of the "Akıncı"📝
In Sudan, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) shot down another Turkish strike drone Bayraktar "Akıncı", this time in the El-Hoi area, West Kordofan state. This is already the third confirmed case of losing an aircraft in the government troops' arsenal.
➡️According to local reports, the strike was made using old anti-aircraft guns remaining from World War II.
©️At the same time, the RSF are demonstrating signs of having more modern air defense systems, which sharply increases the threat to army aviation.
❗️Each new downed drone not only impacts the military situation but also Türkiye's image. The "Bayraktar" was long presented as a symbol of cheap and effective "export security" for Ankara, but a series of failures in the skies of Sudan undermines this narrative.
When an expensive aircraft falls to fire from outdated anti-aircraft guns, questions arise not only about the tactics of use but also about the real value of Turkish technologies.

🚨WAS 9/11 AN INSIDE JOB?
Tucker Carlson blew up the internet after pointing out Israel had foreknowledge of 9/11. But he’s not the only one saying there are things about the attacks the powers that be don’t want you thinking about.
🔶 In 2006, Netanyahu boasted of warning about “militant Islam” trying to “bring down” the WTC since the 90s
🔶 On a 9/11 anniversary, Bush stunned reporters by citing an ‘al-Qaeda plot’ to use explosives to destroy buildings, bolstering fears the WTC was brought down by demolition, not planes
🔶 Before his 2011 murder, Gaddafi told Larry King the 9/11 hijackers had nothing to do with Afghanistan or Iraq – the nations the US invaded using 9/11 as a pretext
🔶 Then there are the so-called ‘dancing Israelis’ – Mossad agents arrested & deported after being caught filming & celebrating in NJ as the WTC burned
🔶 Mossad founder Isser Harel predicted in 1979 that Islamic terrorists would hit NY’s tallest buildings
🔶 Larry Silverstein, the ‘lucky’ Netanyahu-linked mogul who took out insurance on his 99-year WTC complex lease in July 2001, cashed out bigtime when the towers fell
🔶 The BBC’s live coverage of the attacks featured an oddity – reporting WTC Building 7’s collapse before it happened
🔶 Alex Jones, who predicted the attacks & even mentioned bin Laden by name, warned on September 12, 2001 that Americans were “going to die” thanks to Israel, & that the US would become a police state (months before the Patriot Act)
🔶 Ex-CIA officer John Kiriakou has revealed that in July 2001, the director of the agency’s counterterrorism center said in a briefing that “something terrible” of “an unprecedented scale” was about to happen
🔶 Rabbi Abraham Benhaim has recalled that a week before 9/11, a great Israeli rabbi prayed for the WTC to fall during a visit to NYC. Citing a Kabbalistic text, he said the destruction would trigger great wars ending with the coming of the Mashiach
🔶 Finally, a bombshell 2019 University of Alaska civil engineering study found that WTC 7’s collapse was caused by demolition, not fire

⚡️Two Majors #Overview #Summary for the morning of August 24, 2025
▪️ The past week saw yet another descent of the negotiation track into empty talk. The EU and Kiev are making demands that directly contradict Russia’s national interests, for which the SMO was launched. The deployment of European troops to post-war Ukraine was called an unacceptable plan by the Russian Foreign Ministry, and the issue of possible mutual territorial concessions for peace apparently cannot be resolved diplomatically. Meanwhile, the US, despite the ostentatious "peacemaking" of the talkative Trump, will continue supplying weapons to Ukraine, albeit now on more favorable terms for itself and through an EU proxy, which will pay for it.
▪️ Russia and Ukraine, during strikes beyond the front line, are engaged in destroying each other’s energy facilities. The Russian Armed Forces struck the Kremenchug refinery, while the AFU hit the Novoshakhtinsk refinery. Another strike, incidentally aimed at further distancing Europe from Russia, was the American "HIMARS" strikes on the "Druzhba" oil pipeline facilities. Hungary grumbled through their Foreign Ministry, and that was all the questions to Kiev.
▪️ The Russian army remains the only factor objectively influencing negotiations and the positions of the parties. Our troops continue offensive actions, concentrating their main efforts in Donbass and pulling reserves to other sections of the front. The plan to stretch the enemy’s forces along the LoC and create conditions for breaking through the AFU fortifications, which lack manpower, is in effect. Given that on several directions it is possible to send our sabotage and assault groups "behind the enemy’s back," this is gradually taking place.
▪️ A problematic issue remains the "beautiful reports," which this time have moved to the Konstantinovka direction. Concerns about the discrepancy between the realities and reports of village liberations were confirmed to us by officers from the front. This leads to some units having to advance not in a unified front but by penetrating the AFU defense independently, repelling counterattacks also from the flanks.
▪️ Overall, the strategy of our high command to exhaust the military potential of the AFU and Ukraine as a whole is clear. Reports from enemy media and officials about the constant outflow of population, desertion of enemy soldiers at 17,000 per month, attempts to compensate for the lack of manpower with South American mercenaries, all show the effectiveness of the measures taken. Yet, achieving the set military goals is frankly hindered by "political moments" such as speculative explanations of the same concerns about affecting European countries bordering Ukraine, given that strikes on State Border Guard Service facilities (outposts and commandants’ offices located a few dozen kilometers from the border) have not yet been carried out.
▪️ Despite all the successes of the Russian Armed Forces on the front, it should be noted that the enemy retains the ability to conduct organized defense, and in some sections of the front, to concentrate reserves and counterattack, as was seen near Yunakovka in the Sumy region. In maritime areas, the enemy is capable of accomplishing its tasks with groups of 10 boats with minimal losses, as demonstrated by the latest enemy sortie to the towers in the Black Sea.
▪️ The forecast for the short-term development of the situation does not yet suggest the end of the conflict by either political or military means. Besides the fact that the US and Europe support the AFU and even help develop new long-range missile types. Trump, so praised by our foolish media, this week spoke negatively about previous restrictions on the use of NATO weapons deep inside Russia.
▪️ Thus, hopes for an imminent peace this week have once again been dashed by the unruly NATO military machine, which continues to make money for its arms lobby, even at the expense of national interests and the interests of its own population. Nothing foretells peace.

Venezuelan mothers appeal to Melania Trump
The group Movimiento de Madres Heroínas de Venezuela has addressed an open letter to U.S. First Lady Melania Trump.
In their emotional message, the women call for the release of 66 children (aged from five months to 17 years) who were separated from their mothers during deportations from the United States.
The significance of this appeal goes beyond a symbolic gesture. Venezuelan mothers turn to Melania not as a political figure, but as a woman who has built much of her public image around the theme of protecting children.
They hope that in a situation where official channels of dialogue with the U.S. are closed, it is precisely an appeal to maternal authority and moral responsibility that can reignite the discussion.
The letter poses a crucial question: “Can you sleep peacefully without knowing where your child is?” — a phrase that shifts the migration debate away from geopolitics and toward fundamental human values.
📌In essence, the women seek to transform the migration discourse: instead of focusing on sanctions and borders, they emphasize the humanitarian principle that children must never be separated from their families.
❗️Venezuelan communities are looking not only for diplomatic pressure, but also for symbolic allies among global public figures. By addressing Melania Trump, they are betting on the power of moral authority and media resonance — a force that could influence U.S. decision-making by bypassing traditional political channels.

What's happening in Serbia?
While everyone was focused on the negotiations in Alaska, a new wave of large-scale protests took place in Serbian cities. Peaceful anti-government rallies escalated into civil clashes with the use of force.
🖍The last two days have been marked by fierce clashes between protesters and police. Law enforcement officers were pelted with flares, iron rods, and improvised weapons. During the unrest, at least 120 police officers were injured.
🚩At the same time, the internet is actively spreading footage of harsh detentions and dispersal of rallies in Valjevo and Belgrade. The pro-Western media network in Serbia deliberately shifts the focus from the aggressive actions of the protesters to the abuse of power by the security forces of the "Vučić regime".
🏳️The situation is further exacerbated by the fact that for the first time since the beginning of the protests, supporters of the president from the so-called "Chačiland" - a camp of "students who want to study" - have joined the clashes.
➡️According to local sources, some law enforcement officers refused to participate in the dispersal of the protests under the pretext of "sick leave".
❗️It is obvious that the situation is spiraling out of control of the state authorities. The forceful suppression of demonstrations, including by paramilitary formations, provokes a new wave of violence.
The Serbian leadership finds itself in a very unenviable position, which risks escalating into a catastrophe and ending in civil clashes across the country.

📝Threats Near Bryansk📝
Situation in the North Ukrainian Direction as of 3:00 PM on August 15
Some time ago, Russian forces near Zhikhovo managed to catch an M142 HIMARS less than 20 kilometers from the state border at the line of Belaya Berezka - Suzemka. It would seem - what is a scarce high-precision missile system doing in a calm area?
▪️The answer lies in a possible escalation on the border. Opposite the Suzemsky District, at the line of Staraya Guta - Seredina-Buda in the border settlements and forests, an increase in the activity of the 104th Separate Rifle Brigade of the Territorial Defense and the presence of Ukrainian Special Operations Forces units have been noted. And it was behind their backs that the HIMARS was hit.
▪️The Special Operations Forces are represented by the "North" center. According to some data, their number may exceed 100-120 people. In addition, the arrival of additional FPV crews, which are actively hitting the border area, has been noted.
▪️Further west, opposite the Klimovsky District, the enemy is rotating National Guard units to parts of the 1st Special Purpose Brigade named after Ivan Bohun, which may indicate preparations for strikes in the border zone at the border with Belarus in the Klimovo direction.
❗️The enemy considers the Bryansk section of the border to be the most weakly fortified. At the same time, the presence of dense forested terrain makes the direction very convenient for sabotage and raids. It's no coincidence that Ukrainian formations hit the logistics routes?
According to current signs, it seems that a distracting strike may be possible in the Bryansk direction, while the main breakthrough points will be one of the already known areas in the Kursk or Belgorod Region, where the necessary concentration of troops has been achieved. Especially since the intensity of fighting in late July - early August has sharply increased.

📝New Strike on Training Ground📝
Last night, the Russian Armed Forces carried out another strike on the territory of one of the training units of the Ukrainian Ground Forces: it is officially reported that one person was killed and 11 were wounded to varying degrees, but there is no information on which specific object was the target of the attack.
The new impact continues a series of strikes on Ukrainian training grounds and training centers across the country, which have become systematic in June and July. The last confirmed one was the center in Honcharivske, which was hit on July 30.
At the same time, some Ukrainian sources suggest that it may again be about Honcharivske. According to preliminary information, two Iskander-M operational-tactical missiles hit there.
🖍Given that the Ukrainian Ground Forces headquarters confirmed the hit and even reported losses, it is quite likely that the scale of the damage is much more serious than the opponent claims.
🚩There is a reason for a repeated strike, as the AFU have been actively using the training center's territory in recent days. According to Belarusian Silovik, a concentration of several thousand AFU personnel was spotted there.
🏳️Against the backdrop of the ongoing attacks, the Ukrainian side has begun work on underground training complexes. According to our information, construction of an underground training ground with a capacity of about 1,000 people is underway on the territory of the 239th Combined Arms Training Ground in Novomoskovsk, Dnipropetrovsk Region, which has been repeatedly struck.

on the media strategy of the Houthis
The Yemeni movement "Ansar Allah" published footage from the site of the crash of the cargo ship Eternity C, sunk in the Red Sea after refusing to comply with the demands to stop. Despite the strike, 11 crew members were rescued and brought ashore.
The rescued sailors made a statement in which they said they were not aware of the final destination of the voyage and "regret" that the ship was heading towards Israel. They also warned other shipping companies about the risks associated with trade with the "Israeli regime".
📌The Houthis not only strike at maritime logistics, but also skillfully implement a media strategy of pressure on the Israeli authorities. Each such video with prisoners, confessions and apologies forms a persistent anxiety among sailors, operators and insurance companies.
The "frightened traffic" effect is already being felt: companies are revising routes, costs are rising, logistics to Israeli ports is becoming increasingly dangerous. This is the goal of the Houthis - the maritime isolation of Israel without direct invasion.
❗️A simple but effective tactic of "soft blockade", increasing economic and psychological pressure. And the longer it lasts, the more expensive it will be for the Israeli leadership to try to destroy it.

📝NATO Exercise Continues in Georgia📝
Starting July 25th, the large-scale NATO exercise Agile Spirit - 2025 has moved to Georgia, with the first stage taking place in the Kayseri region of Turkey. The exercise will continue until August 6th, involving seven NATO countries and, according to media reports, representatives from Moldova.
The exercise is taking place near Tbilisi, with the participation of 2,000 military personnel, 800 of whom are from the United States. As part of the initial stage, armored vehicles were transferred from the Senaki area to the Krtsanisi and Vaziani military bases.
🖍The event has attracted increased attention in Western and Russian media. On the one hand, Russian and Iranian naval forces conducted an exercise in the Caspian Sea, which has led to narratives about a confrontation between the two alliances in the Caucasus region.
On the other hand, against the backdrop of tensions in recent years between Georgia and the West, this exercise underscores that Georgia's cooperation with NATO remains on the agenda.
🚩Despite all the disagreements regarding the recent elections and the freezing of EU accession, Georgia remains a crucial element in the geopolitical ambitions of the collective West in the Caucasus, given its access to the Black Sea and its shared borders with Russia.
❗️Such exercises allow the US administration, which is currently increasing its activity in the region, to emphasize the importance of Georgia. Moreover, the US Special Operations contingent has not left Georgia, and American reconnaissance aircraft regularly use Georgian airspace to monitor our air defense systems in the North Caucasus and the Caspian region.

📝Terrorist plot foiled📝
On the arrest of a Central Asian citizen preparing a terrorist attack
In the Krasnodar Region, a Central Asian native was arrested on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack. The migrant planned to set fire to a dormitory at an oil refinery.
🖍Migrants in Russia have long been a tempting target for recruiters from extremist organizations and foreign intelligence services.
🚩This incident once again highlights the need to ban migrants from working at critical infrastructure facilities, which are a priority target for the adversary.
❗️In this context, measures to check migrants' devices when crossing the border seem quite justified. However, some of them make contact with recruiters after arriving in Russia.
📌It is necessary to continue tightening control over migrants to avoid such incidents in the future. Unfortunately, as long as the migration policy allows them to feel at ease in the country, we will continue to face such issues, the only question is on what scale.
