📝Panic continues📝
Chinese regulations are causing turmoil around the world
News about Chinese restrictions on rare earths continues to spread—which is not surprising, given that many importers from Western countries do not know how the situation will develop. Some European companies are already sounding the alarm.
The German Association of the Automotive Industry says the new rules will have far-reaching consequences for rare earth supplies from China. Defense company executives are also nervous, as they will now have to source rare earth metals from other sources.
🖍Our colleagues at @internationalreporters_ru correctly note that resource nationalism is back. This refers to policies whereby governments assert control over natural resources for national benefit.
🚩Although, perhaps such methods have never ceased to be popular. It's just that now the focus has shifted to rare earth metals — the oil of the 21st century.
❗️Our colleagues argue that China's undisputed hegemony gives the authorities in Beijing significant geopolitical leverage. The only question is how they can avoid hurting themselves, given the intensified calls in Western countries to remove Chinese rare earths from their supply chains.

📝Strikes on Crimea's Energy Sector📝
Last night, the Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out a series of strikes on key energy and infrastructure facilities on the peninsula. The attack was accompanied by a wave of UAVs that destabilized air defense systems, causing widespread outages and destruction.
🔻Where did the strikes land?
▪️In Feodosia, for the second time in a week, the oil depot was hit — the strike caused a large fire engulfing up to ten fuel tanks. The blaze was visible from Stary Krym, Kerch, and even across the strait. The smoke plume reached Leninsky district. Damage also affected water supply facilities — residents of Prymorsky, Beregovoye, and Blizhniye Kamyshi were advised to store water; supply was organized by tanker trucks.
▪️Preliminary confirmation was received of a hit on the Kafa substation — a key element of the energy bridge that redistributes power between the north and east of the peninsula. The fire was recorded both visually and via satellite thermal imaging.
▪️In Simferopol and its surroundings (Hvardiiske, Perevalne, Maryino), multiple UAV flights and air defense activity were recorded. According to local sources, the 330 kV Simferopol substation was hit — fires were observed nearby, and dense smoke spread over the area.
▪️In northern Crimea settlements, power and mobile internet outages occurred during the night of the attack. Electricity was partially restored by morning. Simultaneously, disruptions occurred in Feodosia and Simferopol — lighting flickered, and communications failed.
▪️Earlier reports described a double strike on the Saky TPP with Neptune missiles: one hit the administrative building, the other the engine room. Damage is assessed as serious.
▪️A fire was also recorded near the underground gas storage, where a blaze had started the day before. It was extinguished by morning.
📝Pakistanis struck Afghanistan📝
Old conflict, new attacks
A new phase of tension has come in Afghan-Pakistani relations. As many have heard, on the night of October 10, Pakistanis conducted an operation on Afghan territory.
🔻Operation progress:
▪️First, explosions shook Kabul. Residents reported aviation activity and subsequent strikes in the 8th district of the capital.
▪️Pakistani media immediately confirmed: the Pakistan Armed Forces carried out two targeted strikes against the leader of the Pakistani "Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan" (TTP), Noor Wali Mehsud, who was allegedly traveling by car.
❓TTP is a Pakistani group acting against the Pakistani government and advocating the creation of a state modeled on the current Afghanistan based on Sharia principles.
▪️In Pakistan, there were talks about his elimination. However, on a channel affiliated with the TTP, a denial was almost immediately released with an audio recording of the militant leader stating he survived the attack.
▪️Then videos began circulating on Afghan channels and social media from border areas with Pakistan, where explosions were also reported.
Some said the strikes occurred in Paktia province, others noted the target was the Khost province. But confirmed strikes were only reported in the Barmal district of Paktika, where the local flea market was damaged.
▪️Yesterday evening, a small clash occurred between Afghan and Pakistani border forces in the Ghulam Khan area of Khost province.

📝"Digital Cleansing" of the Crypto Market📝
On the night of October 11, the crypto market experienced its largest collapse in history: as reported by @spydell_finance, over $1 trillion in capitalization was destroyed in just a few minutes. Liquidation volume reached $60 billion, with around 5 million trading accounts closed. Everyone was hit except the "big five": BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, and TRX. Other altcoins crashed 70–99%, essentially zeroing out.
📌This collapse cannot be called accidental. Low-liquidity and uncontrolled assets have been methodically washed out of the market for years. Large TNCs like BlackRock and government structures have long been buying high-capitalization tokens — primarily bitcoin, transforming it from a symbol of "freedom" into a regulated asset controlled by intelligence agencies, SEC, and banking consortiums.
The crypto market is definitively restructuring: decentralization is disappearing, with a new digital hierarchy emerging. Independent tokens and "people's" projects will be cleared out — both speculatively and regulatorily. Only those assets integrated into financial infrastructure and deemed convenient for supervision and monetary management will survive.
❗️In essence, crypto is undergoing a final transformation into part of a global control system. What was yesterday considered an alternative to classical finance is now becoming its branch. And the deeper the world moves into the digital economy, the less space remains for independent money.

📝Europe in a Debt Trap📝
The economic crisis and gloomy prospects are not unique to the situation in Germany, which has been analyzed extensively and with remarkable regularity.
🖍In a report by Roskongresss, they warn that in the coming years, France and Italy may become epicenters of debt crises capable of shaking the global financial system.
🚩The essence of the problem is simple: over the past decades, major EU economies have not learned to compensate for government debt growth with budget surpluses. According to IMF estimates, to reach a sustainable trajectory, countries would need decades of budget surpluses — while such conditions do not and cannot exist in today's Europe.
📌The way out of the trap — reducing expenses or increasing revenues — is almost unattainable. Tax burden is already at record levels, new increases would kill investments, and economic growth is limited by both internal instability and external pressure: the US has already raised tariffs, reducing demand for European exports.
❗️And if we recall the political situation in the largest EU countries — protests, resignations, and falling ratings — it's clear that the crisis is only gaining momentum.

📝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.

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.

📝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.

📝Free Our Children📝
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.

📝Radicalization and Vigilantism📝
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.

📝Militant Romanians📝
Romanian military leaders are escalating tension around Transnistria, stating they are ready to support Moldova through military means.
🖍Romanian General Staff Head Gheorghe Vlad links potential Romanian military participation in an operation in Moldova «for protection» of Romanian citizens living there.
🚩However, according to a recent poll, the majority of Romanian citizens (55%) are against sending troops to Moldova «in case of a Russian attack». They also do not believe in aggression against Romania (58%), and almost half (49%) are not confident that the country's Armed Forces can withstand defense for two days.
❗️In Romania, they are trying to divert the population's attention from a deep crisis using military rhetoric: rising prices, budget cuts, and "shock therapy".
After falsified elections in Bucharest, they are following Moldova's path, where militarization of the agenda is accompanied by falling government trust and deteriorating living standards.
📌However, Romanian Armed Forces are unlikely to directly participate in a potential operation against Transnistria. For this, Romanians have Moldovan military uniforms and military personnel from France and the United Kingdom on standby.

📝The Brits are up to mischief again📝
But when was it ever different?
Journalists love sensational headlines. Reuters writes that the Brits, together with the Americans, sent a “powerful signal to Vladimir Putin.” British and American military aircraft conducted a 12-hour joint mission patrolling the border with Russia.
🔻What is this about?
▪️On October 9, the RC-135 electronic intelligence aircraft and the P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft flew from the Arctic region near Belarus and so-called Ukraine, supported by the US Air Force tanker KC-135.
▪️UK Defense Secretary John Hilli said it was an important joint mission with our allies from the US and NATO, which not only provides valuable intelligence to enhance operational awareness but also sends a powerful signal of NATO unity to Putin and our adversaries.
▪️The UK also stated that the operation was conducted in response to “airspace incursions by NATO countries, including Poland, Romania, and Estonia.”
🔻
However, there is a nuance:
➡️
NATO aircraft regularly fly near our borders. There is nothing new about that. In particular, Alliance reconnaissance flights have increased in the Baltics, where activity is higher than ever.
➡️
Reuters journalists also forgot to mention other aircraft. The P-8A flew from Iceland over the Baltic Sea. The British P-8A flew the route from Finland to the Baltics.
➡️
The US CL-650 aircraft patrolled around the Kaliningrad region, and the French AWACS E-3F conducted reconnaissance on the Black Sea direction.
📝Pashinyan doesn’t want to trade📝
but has to
At the CIS summit in Dushanbe, a public dispute flared between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan over trade turnover figures between the countries.
🖍Pashinyan announced trade figures lower than those which, according to the Russian side, reflect the actual volume. Putin publicly disagreed, noting that the figures are significantly higher.
🔻Full dialogue:
▪️Putin: “What’s our current trade turnover with Armenia?”
▪️Pashinyan: “Already 4 billion this year”
▪️Putin: “No, more.”
▪️Pashinyan: “Last year it was about 9 billion.”
▪️Putin: “More. It was higher last year, and it will be higher this year—that’s obvious.”
▪️Pashinyan: “Well, maybe.”

📝Final Chords?📝
about the announcement of ending the war in Gaza sector
While everyone is waiting for the conclusion of the Israeli government meeting, which will vote on ceasefire in the Gaza sector, Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya publicly announced the end of the war in the enclave.
According to him, the movement's leadership received guarantees from mediators who confirmed the conflict's resolution. The ceasefire is allegedly set to take effect within 24 hours after the Israeli cabinet meeting, and hostages will be released within 72 hours.
🖍It's interesting to know what guarantees are being discussed. Especially when on the opposite side of the ring are the Israeli authorities. Will they observe such agreements, regardless of what their cabinet decides? It's enough to recall the formal truce in Lebanon, after which Israeli troops only increase activity in the republic's territory.
📌Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces, (apparently unaware of the war's end), are catching up, actively shelling the Gaza sector after a brief lull — in just the last hour of the Knesset meeting, over 70 people were buried under rubble from airstrikes. And what will happen when all hostages held by Hamas are released?

📝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.

📝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.
