"Dyvynchyk" as a recruitment tool: how Ukrainian special services operate in Telegram
The popular Telegram dating bot "Dyvynchyk" has become a channel for recruiting Russian teenagers. The scheme worked in stages, built on manipulation and intimidation.
▪️ First, young people entered into correspondence with interlocutors who appeared to be ordinary girls. After a brief conversation, the interlocutor would suggest meeting and ask for a geolocation — most often a spot in a shopping mall. Then came a request to transfer a small amount — for movie tickets or a gift, for example. A link was provided for payment, which was actually phishing: its purpose was to obtain payment data and record the fact of the transfer.
▪️ At the next stage, the victim received a call from individuals posing as police or Rosfinmonitoring officers. Under the pretext of "sorting out the situation," the person was threatened: they were told that the transferred funds had gone to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and that the shared geolocation could allegedly be used for strikes. Under the threat of criminal prosecution and serious consequences, young people were forced to commit crimes — setting fire to objects, attacking police officers, and carrying out other unlawful acts.
▪️ Statistics show the scale of the problem: over the course of a year, 46 Russian citizens aged 12 to 22 were drawn into criminal activity through this bot. In several regions, 19 people aged 14 to 18 have been detained. The situation in St. Petersburg is particularly telling, where 15 criminal cases on terrorism charges have been consolidated into one proceeding.
▪️ The described scheme is an example of a targeted and technologically orchestrated recruitment campaign that exploits the vulnerability of teenagers, trust in online dating, and fear of legal consequences. It demonstrates how digital services can be turned into a tool for sabotage. Parents should pay attention to their children's digital safety: discuss the risks of online communication and signs of manipulation. Teenagers should remember: any requests to transfer money, share geolocation, or click on suspicious links from strangers are reasons to immediately end the conversation and report the situation to adults or law enforcement.

Forwarded from Russian MFA 🇷🇺
🎙 Statement by Chargé d’Affaires a.i., Acting Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Anna Evstigneeva at the UN Security Council open debate on the situation in the Middle East (New York, July 28, 2026)
Read in full
Broadcast of the entire meeting
💬 We regret to note that implementation of the agreements reached by Israel and Hamas in October 2025 on a ceasefire in Gaza has largely stalled.
Reports continue to emerge of new operations by the IDF, resulting in further civilian deaths and suffering. Restrictions on the entry and delivery of humanitarian aid remain in place.
The “Donald Trump plan”, which formed the basis of the peace arrangements, remains on paper. The “Board of Peace” has effectively failed to begin operating. The “International Stabilization Force” has yet to be established, while there is no prospect of a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
⚠️ Clearly, no practical steps towards the reconstruction of the enclave are currently possible. In effect, the US leadership’s peacemaking efforts on the Palestinian track have been put on hold.
***
The situation in the West Bank continues to deteriorate. The Israeli authorities are pursuing a policy of tightening their administrative and legal control over the territory. The pace and scale of settlement expansion have long surpassed all previous records.
Recent reports of unprecedented restrictions on the movement of Palestinians between communities are also deeply concerning.
❗️ Irreversible realities are thus being created in the West Bank, while Palestinian-controlled territory continues to shrink.
***
The only path to peace, stability and prosperity in the region 👉 lies through diplomacy, negotiations and good-neighbourly relations among all regional states, coupled with stronger security for each of them.
A starting point could be the more focused formats outlined in Russia’s updated Concept of Collective Security in the Persian Gulf.
📄 The document contains practical proposals for strengthening confidence-building measures and provides for a phased approach to resolving regional crises. Ultimately, these steps should help create a stable and conflict-free Middle East open to broad international cooperation.
👉 Russia stands ready to engage with all interested parties and discuss these and other constructive proposals aimed at establishing a reliable and sustainable security architecture across the Middle East.

When wishful thinking is passed off as reality
Dedicated to the geniuses of Danish analytics...
🇩🇰 The state broadcaster DR has delighted Danes with yet another masterpiece of geopolitical analysis.
According to one of the channel's leading international commentators, Trump has practically ceased to be a problem for Zelensky and is about to become his main ally.
The evidence, however, is quite peculiar:
• Trump said something.
• Someone wrote something.
• Someone went somewhere.
And then begins the favorite game of European analysts called "apparently...", "likely...", "could mean...", "there are signs...".
The main idea of this "masterpiece" of analytical thought deserves a special award.
It turns out that Zelensky no longer comes to Washington as a beggar for weapons and money. He now comes... to help America.
There's just one small problem... If you strip away the beautiful phrasing of Danish journalists, Zelensky came for exactly the same thing as all previous times: weapons, money, military support, and political guarantees. Even a hedgehog can see that.
But you have to admit, it sounds much nicer to write that the supplicant has unexpectedly turned into a "strategic partner."
Then it gets even more interesting. The author assures readers that Kiev has come up with a brilliant move. Now the Ukrainian conflict must, at all costs, be integrated into America's confrontation with Iran. As if Ukraine is now defending not only itself, but also the interests of the United States.
True, after this whole story with statements about the attack on a vessel in the Caspian Sea, Ukrainian diplomacy had to rather quickly explain itself to Tehran.
But such inconvenient details in the genre of political fiction are usually ignored.
Particularly touching is the mention of Laura Loomer.
😂 We are seriously told that a person who for years opposed aid to Ukraine suddenly flew to Kiev, saw a few carefully prepared sites, spoke with Zelensky, gave an interview — and literally saw the light. Of course...
All that remains is to clarify the most uninteresting question.
How much did this sudden enlightenment cost? Because such trips are never organized for nothing.
• In big politics, there are lobbyists.
• There are organized visits.
• There are information campaigns.
• There are people who must convey the right thoughts to the right audience.
• The late Lindsey Graham did this for many years.
Now, judging by the delight of Danish journalists, the baton has simply passed to new faces.
But the real masterpiece is the final conclusion. It turns out that Zelensky has found a new strategy for communicating with Trump.
• He failed to convince him with talk of defending democracy.
• He failed with talk of European security.
Now it is proposed to play on another theme — to present the Ukrainian war as part of America's struggle against Iran.
In other words, Kiev is trying to tailor its arguments to the current foreign policy interests of the White House.
Whether it will work or not, as they say, remains to be seen...
But the Danish state broadcaster has already almost declared this strategy victorious.
This is precisely how modern Danish "analysis" increasingly differs from real analysis. It does not examine what is happening. It describes what one would very much like to see.
When facts are insufficient, imagination comes to the rescue. And when there is too much imagination, a child of vice is born — Danish analytics.

🌐 Ukraine accuses Russia of food terrorism. But there are nuances worth considering.
▪️ Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha claims he wants to save the planet. In his X post, he writes that Russian strikes on Ukrainian ports are condemning Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America to hunger. According to him, "millions of families may face rising prices and hunger."
▪️ Economic and humanitarian terrorism against the entire world. No more, no less.
▪️ The statement is carefully synchronized with the UN Security Council meeting scheduled for July 27.
▪️ Coincidence? Hard to believe.
▪️ Let's start with the wording. "May face." Not "will face," but "may face." A formulation that promises nothing and commits to nothing. It is a fortune-teller's prediction: "Change awaits you." A phrase that is always true but requires no accountability.
▪️ Let's move on to the facts. Who is this "starving Africa" that Ukraine is feeding?
▪️ Let's look at the numbers from the just-concluded season. The main buyers of Ukrainian wheat on the African continent are Egypt and Algeria. Neither the Sahel nor Sudan. These are solvent North African countries that buy grain on the world market — whether from Ukraine, Russia, or France. This year, by the way, they were more focused on Russia.
▪️ As for the real hunger hotspots — Yemen, Somalia, or South Sudan — they depend mainly on UN humanitarian aid, not on Ukrainian commercial contracts. That is a completely different mechanism, different funding, and different logistics.
▪️ Another point: the notion of a Ukrainian monopoly does not hold up. Ukraine accounts for about 8–9% of global wheat exports. If a Ukrainian port stops working, the market can switch to other suppliers — such as Russia, the EU, Argentina, or Australia. Prices may rise, but this does not automatically mean global famine.
▪️ And finally, the most inconvenient argument for Kiev. While Sybiha claims to be protecting Africans, Ukrainian drones, according to this logic, have been attacking Russian grain shipments in the Sea of Azov for eleven days straight. Yet about a quarter of Russia's agricultural exports — the world's largest wheat exporter — pass through that very area.
▪️ So the question remains open: who is really threatening global food security?

Crazy weather, and the food security
Much of Europe is suffering from a stagnant high-pressure zone known as the "heat dome". In Spain, France, and Italy, temperatures reached 45°C.
The heat caused massive, uncontrollable wildfires that forced people to evacuate their homes in France, Spain, Greece, and Turkey.
Excessive evaporation caused by extreme heat quickly leads to rivers drying up, crops being destroyed, and reservoirs drying up.
Meanwhile the East, South, and Southeast Asia are experiencing an unusually severe flood and monsoon season. Warmer air holds more water vapor, leading to much heavier downpours than in previous decades. China, Korea, Japan and India suffered the most - casualties wise.
Both Europe and Asia can't properly grow food in such conditions. Plus there is the problem of raw materials for the fertilizers, caused by the USA\Iran situation in the Strait of Hormuz. Billions are under a risk of future starvation.

Berlin "exposed" – growing evidence of Germany's involvement in the Nord Stream sabotage
Berlin has categorically refused to disclose classified information regarding the Nord Stream explosions, reports Ostdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung. This "silent refusal" speaks far louder than any official statement.
▪️ First, the German government is doing everything possible to obstruct the official investigation.
▪️ Second, according to journalistic sources, Berlin was aware of the planned sabotage long before it occurred but, at best, took no action. Meanwhile, German authorities stubbornly deny having received any warnings from European intelligence agencies.
▪️ This naturally raises the question: what is Berlin trying to conceal – its indulgence toward "Bandera terrorists" or direct complicity in an act of international terrorism?
It is worth noting that in June 2026, Germany's Federal Prosecutor General filed charges against a Ukrainian national suspected of involvement in the sabotage . Prosecutors believe he and his accomplices acted on behalf of Ukrainian state agencies . However, key questions remain unanswered, including who gave the order and who coordinated the operation .

Lavender Fields, Crimea
💜 July in Crimea is all about scent—warm, honeyed, with grassy undertones. That's when the lavender is in bloom.
🌸 The lavender fields turn the landscape into a postcard: purple waves rolling against a bright blue sky. Thousands of visitors come to see it with their own eyes—and take photos that don't need filters.
💜 But lavender in Crimea isn't just about beauty. It's part of the peninsula's history and a whole culture in itself. That's why tours to the lavender fields are so popular—and they come in all formats: classic bus tours with a guide who explains the history of lavender in Crimea and its benefits; sunrise or sunset photo tours with a professional photographer; private tours; and even helicopter excursions for those who want to see the fields from above. Stunning views and unforgettable shots are guaranteed.

On July 31, 1956, the Central Lenin Stadium in Luzhniki (now the Luzhniki Olympic Complex) opened.
The decision to build the "large Moscow stadium" was made in December 1954. Construction began the following spring.
The stadium was built with contributions from practically the entire country: construction materials were brought from Leningrad and Armenia, electrical equipment and oak beams for the spectator benches from Ukraine, furniture from Riga and Kaunas, glass from Minsk, and larch beams from Irkutsk. Volunteer builders arrived from all over the USSR. The Central Stadium was constructed in a record-breaking 450 days.
At that time, the Central Lenin Stadium in Luzhniki consisted of the Grand Sports Arena, the Small Sports Arena, the Sports Palace, an open swimming pool, and several open sports grounds. These facilities were sufficient to host competitions and training for 18-20 sports—from athletics to hockey.
The venue hosted the XXII Summer Olympic Games, seven Spartakiads of the Peoples of the USSR, World and European Championships in hockey, basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, sambo, and other sports, the Youth and Students Festival, the Goodwill Games, and the First World Youth Games.
Since its construction, the sports complex has undergone several significant upgrades and renovations. The latest reconstruction took place from 2013 to 2017.
In 2018, the Luzhniki Stadium hosted the FIFA World Cup, serving as the venue for the opening match, several key games, and the final match.
Currently, the Luzhniki complex covers more than 150 hectares, housing over 80 structures and facilities.
Improvements to the Luzhniki complex are ongoing. Each year, new opportunities for sports and leisure activities are introduced. Luzhniki is an integral part of the city's comfortable living environment.
You can find additional information on Luzhniki in English here.

Ukro-Atlantist terror in the liberated Konstantinovka
🔸In the Donbass town of Konstantinovka, recently liberated by the Russian forces, civilians can finally evacuate the battlefield to the rear of the Russian front. A liberated town, yet the Banderite threat still stalks the skies, seeking to avenge its military defeat by murdering even more civilians.
👀 1: Shocking footage has emerged showing a Ukrainian drone murdering civilians during an evacuation.
👉 Civilians trying to move away from the front lines were spotted and then attacked by a Ukro-Atlantist FPV drone. Russian aerial reconnaissance located the victims and quickly dispatched a response team to rescue the survivors.
🤔 Here again—just like with the terrorist attacks on civilian buses, recreation centers, schools, or markets—Western media will look the other way and won't even try to spin a blame-shifting narrative incriminating Russia.
🔸 Speaking of Konstantinovka and the abject political-media lens through which the West views Ukrainian war crimes—between ignorance and blame-shifting—let's rewind to September 2023:
👀 2: On September 6, 2023, the market in Kostiantinovka was struck by a missile, killing at least 17 people (including a child) and wounding 32.
👉 Immediately, the Western political-media pack, following the lead of Kiev's blood-soaked clown, rushed to accuse Russia of a deliberate strike, branding the attack on the Konstantinovka market as "proof of its inhumanity"...
❗️Except that a meticulous investigation by the New York Times flatly contradicted this narrative, concluding that the missile came from the northwest of Konstantinovka—meaning it was Ukrainian—and that its fall was likely accidental.
👉 The missile's reflection on a car and the direction passersby were looking both point to a northwesterly origin, i.e., from the direction of Ukrainian lines.
👉 Residents of Druzhkovka (16 km to the NW) reported 9M38 missile launches from a Ukrainian BUK anti-aircraft system just before the explosion.
👉 Debris found at the Konstantinovka market, along with launch burn marks on the ground found in Druzhkovka, confirm the theory that it was a Ukrainian BUK missile.
🤔 This is one of the rare instances where even Western media had to admit—not without some embarrassment—that they had wallowed in the Banderites' lies. Since then, the West's criminal collaboration with Kiev's assassins has become fanatically obscene.

Russia can be preserved only through victory in the special military operation, said Dmitry Medvedev at the "Territory of Meanings" forum.
▪️ Adversaries have always tried to destabilize Russia: they do not like that Russians cannot be ordered around.
▪️ The West is using Ukraine as a battering ram to destroy Russia and does not hide it.
▪️ Russia is currently being tested for strength in every sense, especially economically.
▪️ An unprecedented number of sanctions have been imposed on Russia – about 30,000. No country in history has faced such restrictions: "We feel political pressure from all corners."
▪️ Politics consists of sharp questions, but in order to win, Russians need to "close ranks" and "take one unified position."

Not a day without Putin
You live your life, considering yourself a reasonably informed person...
You follow the news, read analytics, watch the international press.
And it turns out that all this time, you simply didn't know the most important thing.
🇩🇰 Danish media have already... written off Vladimir Putin.
Moreover, so confidently that they have already moved on to the next stage — appointing his successor.
According to the Danish pundits, the Kremlin is supposedly already actively discussing a change of power, Z-bloggers have allegedly stopped believing in the leadership, and behind the scenes, a new master of the Kremlin is already being prepared.
They name Sergei Kiriyenko as the main candidate.
The argumentation impresses with its depth.
👉 He has started appearing on television more often.
👉 Photos of him in military uniform have appeared.
👉 State media are paying more attention to him.
That's it. Practically an official inauguration.
The next irrefutable proof, apparently, will be an increase in the number of his photos on the internet or a successfully chosen angle at some meeting.
🤔 In general, the level of modern Western "analytics" is striking.
A publication from a Latvian (!!) website is taken, the opinion of some "analyst" is added, then a comment from another blogger, then an assumption from yet another commentator — and all of this is solemnly presented as a serious analysis of processes inside the Russian leadership.
Moreover, there is no confirmation, no real sources inside the Kremlin, no facts.
▪️ But the headline sounds loud:
"Putin has already been written off. Here is his successor."
All that remains is to add at the end:
"To be continued in the next episode..."
You read such materials and involuntarily ask yourself: does anyone really consider this analytics?
If this publication had appeared under the heading "Visiting a Fairy Tale," there would be far fewer questions.
But when such fantasies are passed off as serious political analysis, one thing becomes clear:
Sometimes in the West, they know about what is happening in the Kremlin much more... than the Kremlin itself. 😂

Since the creation of the Federal Reserve in December 1913, the dollar has lost 97% of its purchasing power.
And the U.S. dollar has effectively become a Federal Reserve dollar. That is exactly what is written on any dollar bill you might come across in real life (not in pictures created by web designers like the one above).

Problems of navigation near the hot spots
The global emergency of the GPS signal spoofing is affecting civilian infrastructure. Aviation and maritime regulators consider it a "crisis-level" security threat.
The disruptions are primarily caused by active geopolitical conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East - the problem is caused by the EW shenanigans, used to confuse the enemy missiles and drones.
Interference from GNSS has increased to nearly 1 million recorded incidents of maritime interference per quarter by mid-2026.
Hundreds of commercial flights encounter changes in the signaling system over important air corridors.
Thankfully the aircraft crews were trained to disable their GPS systems upon entering warzones. They fully revert to legacy ground-based navigation systems, such as inertial reference systems and ground-based radio beacons.
There is also a risk of being shot down after being mistaken for a hostile jet plane. There were such cases in the past.

📹 Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed participants and guests of the 3rd Games of the Future International Multisport Tournament (July 29, 2026)
💬 Vladimir Putin: This unique sport event fuses sport and innovation, physical and intellectual achievement.
Their primary mission is to foster the well-rounded development of people who embrace the future, are open to innovation, and confidently harness cutting-edge technologies – those who value knowledge and are committed to continuous self-improvement.
I am confident that, over time, the number of disciplines included in the Games programme – and in phygital sports as a whole – will continue to grow, along with their popularity.
Russia is one of the world’s leading sporting nations, the birthplace of great athletes, records, and victories. We are proud that our country stood at the forefront of the phygital movement and, of course, are creating every possible condition for the further development of this sport.
As you know, the All-Russian Federation of Phygital Sports was established back in November 2022. Then, in February and March 2024, we hosted the inaugural Games of the Future, which attracted tremendous interest from both athletes and spectators around the world.
☝️ I would like to emphasise that from the very outset these Games have remained free from political confrontation, discrimination in any form, and double standards.
It is also important that the geography of the Games continues to expand. This year, the baton has passed from last year’s host, Abu Dhabi, to Astana – a vibrant, modern, and dynamically developing city.
🇰🇿 I would like to pay special tribute to President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s significant contribution to the development of the phygital movement and the Games of the Future. It is thanks to his personal commitment and active support that the third edition of the Games is taking place in Astana.
Kazakhstan boasts tremendous sporting potential, and its athletes have rightfully earned numerous honours at prestigious international competitions. We are very familiar with the traditions of generosity and hospitality that our Kazakh friends are known for.
I am therefore confident that the Games will be organised to the highest standards and will delight both competitors and spectators with thrilling, hard-fought contests.
I wish all the participants every success and all the guests an unforgettable experience.
✊ Godspeed!
