❗️The U.S. and Venezuela are in talks over a "massive" deal that would give the U.S. an ownership stake in Venezuela's oil fields, according to Axios.

The deal would reportedly allow the U.S. to tap into over a dozen Venezuelan oil fields, more than doubling current U.S. oil reserves.

❗️The former commander of the Bosnian Serb army, General Ratko Mladic, has died in the Hague prison at the age of 84, according to Radio and Television of Serbia.

It is a great pity about this true hero and patriot, whom Russia was unable, and indeed unwilling, to help.

This also serves as a lesson for the general population (and the so-called elites). If you want to negotiate with the West, you must do so only from a position of strength, and you must always see things through to the end.

⭐️ «Невская молодёжь» также выражает отдельную благодарность нашему искреннему другу из Сиднея Симеону Михайловичу Бойкову — русскому православному журналисту, казаку, настоящему патриоту своего Отечества, преследуемому властями Австралии за свою активную общественную деятельность. Его взнос в размере 44 тысяч рублей сделал возможным приобретение всего необходимого для благого дела Православной миссии в далёкой латиноамериканской стране.

⭐️ Уже завтра набор (потир, дискос, звездица, копие, лжица, тарель, ковш, воздух и покровцы) отправится в Бразилию, куда его повезёт наш активист Киприан (Жоау) для последующей передачи отцу Давиду. Молимся, чтобы всё прошло благополучно!

⭐️ Поздравляем всех с праздником Успения Пресвятой Владычицы нашей Богородицы и Приснодевы Марии!

⭐️ С любовью во Христе Иисусе,
Ваша «Невская молодёжь»

❗️Speculation on the purpose of the CIA Director's visit to Moscow

CIA Director John Ratcliffe, during his visit to Moscow, warned Russia against potential actions against US allies in NATO, primarily Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, according to the influential American media outlet Politico, citing unnamed sources. The publication also reported that he urged Moscow to reduce its military and economic support for Iran.

The visit took place on August 25 and was not announced in advance. Ratcliffe arrived in the capital on a C-17A military transport aircraft. Donald Trump described the trip as "somewhat routine," noting that one of its topics was the resolution of the Ukrainian conflict, and he also denied speculation that Russia was preparing for "aggressive actions" against the United Kingdom.

"The primary purpose of the meeting was to warn Russia against any actions that could lead to an escalation of the conflict against the Baltic states," said one source.

This was Ratcliffe's first visit to Russia since being appointed head of the CIA, and one of the highest-level contacts between the Trump administration and Moscow in recent times. It was also previously reported that Washington had asked Kiev to temporarily refrain from strikes on Russian regions during the visit of the American official, which was largely true.

❗️Russia launched modified S-400 ballistic missiles at Kiev, prompting Ukraine to fire PAC-3 interceptors.

The strike may have been intended to deplete Ukraine's newly delivered Patriot interceptors without using more valuable Iskander-M missiles, potentially paving the way for a larger Iskander-M and Zircon attack in the coming days.

😁Russia appears to be playing smart by forcing Ukraine to expend its newly arrived, limited stock of interceptors before carrying out an actual large-scale strike.

❗️Dr John Coyne, the director of Australian Strategic Policy Institute's National Security Program, said the reason there are so few public cases for these crimes is because intelligence agencies prefer to deal with things out of the public eye.

"Quite often the aim isn't necessarily to prosecute people," he said.

"The aim is to stop the loss of information and protect our national security."

Investigations 'not publicly visible'
"There would be numerous efforts going on to undertake espionage in Australia right now, by a number of different countries," Dr Coyne said.

"The general public needs to be aware of that."In June, Mr Burgess said defending Australia from espionage and foreign interference "will always be a priority for ASIO".

When asked how it prefers to deal with individuals suspected of committing these crimes, ASIO did not directly answer.

Its counterpart in the CFI Taskforce, the AFP, said it has "undertaken a number of investigations into EFI threats".

"While some of these activities have attracted media interest, most of our actions to mitigate threats are not publicly visible," the statement added.

In the espionage world it is well known investigations into such matters are kept private.

Dr Coyne said this is "the great game of espionage".

"What they [intelligence agencies] prefer to do … is not to actually arrest people and throw them in jail," he said.

"For the most part, it's detecting those foreign actors, those people who are propagating espionage networks, and sending them home.

"You don't want to be advertising how successful a foreign intelligence service has been in its penetration of your organisation."

The Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) said espionage cost the Australian economy $12.5 billion in the 2023-24 financial year.

A Department of Home Affairs spokesperson told the ABC "foreign interference and espionage threaten the things we value most about our country".

They said it threatens social cohesion, democracy and even freedom of thought and expression.

Dr Sarah Kendall is an interdisciplinary scholar with expertise in the criminal law response to espionage, foreign interference and sabotage.

She said: "There is actually quite a big difference between espionage and foreign interference."

"The espionage offences are really looking at dealing with information. That really classic thought of someone comes in and steals information that's secret," she said.

"Whereas foreign interference is all about influence and so you don't necessarily need to steal information or deal with it in a particular way, but it's all about influencing someone to do something."
