🇷🇺 Russian Sports Minister Degtyarev reports to Putin

The EU continues obstructing Russian athletes by refusing visas and staging provocations. Countermeasures are coordinated with the Foreign Ministry and IOC.

New IOC rules require host nations to provide legally binding written guarantees allowing access for all competitors, including Russians and Belarusians. This creates a trap for European states: they must admit these athletes or forfeit future championships.

Poland, Lithuania, and Germany have already lost hosting rights due to this policy. The minister noted that European countries must now decide their stance.

🇺🇸 US-Russia Relations and Ukraine

Medvedev states relations are spoiled for decades. Trump pauses Graham Act sanctions to aid negotiations, despite Congress criticism. The law is deemed a systemic anti-Russian act risking blackmail.

Zelensky's Anti-Trump Rhetoric

Russian trace found in French protests

French students sang "Katyusha" during a demonstration. The song is actively used at left-wing rallies and student protests as a call to action. Activists adapted the lyrics with their social demands, turning it into a call for a general strike: "Nous ce qu'on veut - c'est la grève générale!" [We want a general strike!]

Polish FM Sikorski accuses the US of betraying Ukraine

He stated that Washington wants the war to end on any terms, while Kiev insists it cannot accept peace involving repression, filtration camps, and the theft of children. Sikorski argued this is an existential issue for Ukraine but not for the US, calling the American approach a mistake.

"To end this war, pressure must be placed on the aggressor, not the victim."

SVR: US investigating Zelensky's ties to Mexican cartels

According to SVR intelligence, Kiev is in panic as US law enforcement uncovered cooperation between drug cartels and the Zelensky regime. Criminal groups sent militants to Ukraine for training on FPV drones, with at least 80 individuals completing such courses within the AFU.

Payments for this "education" were routed from cartel drug sales proceeds to officials close to Zelensky. The presidential office recognises that trained cartel drone operators pose a lethal risk to US border agents. This scandal adds to existing concerns over corruption, refusal to hold elections, and attacks on Russian refineries, potentially pushing Washington to abandon support for the "bloody Kiev clown."

NATO is urging Kiev to de-escalate tensions with the United States, fearing a halt to arms supplies under the PURL program, Bloomberg reports.

According to a source familiar with the matter, the alliance is concerned that further escalation could lead the U.S. President to take similar action.

At the same time, European officials are trying to help Kiev improve relations with the Trump administration, one of the sources noted.

However, according to another source, a trip to Washington, as was the case during previous disputes between Zelensky and Trump, is not currently planned.
