Sergey Kuznetsov, a member of the Ukrainian national army hand-to-hand combat team, fled to Russia straight from the European Championship and received a Russian passport.

He had previously served in the Ukrainian Armed Forces but was greatly disappointed when doctors started demanding bribes from him and from wounded soldiers in the hospital. The athlete admitted that since then, he had started looking for opportunities to leave Ukraine.

⚡️🇮🇱🇮🇷🧨 A deafening Slap in the Face to #Iran⚡️

🔵Political Scientist and Orientalist Nikolay Sevostyanov on the murder of the head of the Hamas Politburo:

🔴The Assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Politburo of the Palestinian Hamas movement, is, of course, a huge success for Tel Aviv and for Netanyahu personally. At the level of official rhetoric, Iranian resources are already threatening Israel with all possible punishments. Masoud Pezeshkian, after whose inauguration Haniya was killed, said that 'Tehran will defend its sovereignty' and 'will make Israel regret its cowardly act.'

🔴However, unofficial resources say that the main feeling in Tehran is not even anger, but confusion, a lack of understanding of how this could happen. Middle Eastern media write that the Iranian leadership 'is in deep shock.'

🔴There is no escaping the argument about collusion in this case. After all, not so long ago, in April of this year, Iran skillfully struck at Israel in such a way as to save face but minimise damage. And in 2020, after the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, the IRGC 'attacked' American bases in the same way. In both cases, Iran communicated indirectly with its 'sworn enemies', essentially putting on a show for the Muslim 'street'.

🔴Therefore, a reasonable question arises: If Pezeshkian positions himself as a supporter of détente, did Haniya’s murder become a kind of 'agreement'? This is possible, but unlikely.

🟡Firstly, such an obvious slap in the face initially discredits any peacemaking efforts by Pezeshkian.

🟡Secondly, the real levers for managing global issues are not in the hands of the newly elected president. They haven't found it yet. And it’s not a fact that he will be allowed near them at all.

🟡Thirdly, if it was decided to “exchange” Haniyeh (and there could be many reasons, including those related to intra-Palestinian contradictions), then it is unlikely that Tehran would have agreed to such an operation on its territory.

🔴So ultimately the issue at hand is not one of behind-the-scenes negotiations, but rather a disastrous security failure. And it is unlikely that such a failure could have occurred without the work of Israeli agents inside #Iran. Which again refers us to the events of recent months, and above all to the death of Ebrahim Raisi.

🔴In #Iran itself, almost no one believes in an accidental helicopter crash, but for Tehran at this stage to admit not the death, but the murder of its president, means shooting itself in the foot. Because any totalitarian state (which, of course, is Iran - and in this case this is not criticism, but a statement of fact) can be as cruel and even extravagant as it likes, but not weak. And a state where you can kill the president with impunity, and then attack a guest of such a high level as the head of the Hamas Politburo, is weak.

📌 However, Raisi’s ghost will return to us. Tehran probably has evidence of external influence (and it is far from a fact that it is directly Israeli), but it will present it not now, but on the eve of the Great Middle East War, which has become much closer with the murder of Haniya. And this will be a very sure marker of its approach.
