🇷🇺 Russia warns Moldova and Ukraine over provocations
Mikhail Galuzin, Deputy Foreign Minister, stated in a TASS interview that all hostile provocations by Moldova will receive an adequate response. He noted that Chisinau began provocations against Russian embassy staff after the current government came to power.
Galuzin accused Chisinau of blindly following Brussels' anti-Russian directives and avoiding diplomatic dialogue with Moscow. He highlighted that the regime has restricted Russian and Russian-language media and launched repressions against dissenters.
He warned that armed provocations by Kiev and Moldovan authorities against Transnistria will be considered an attack on Russia, to be treated in accordance with international law.

🇺🇸 Pentagon Chief Hegseth sidesteps Patriot production license for Ukraine
Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth refused to directly answer whether the US would grant Ukraine a license to produce Patriot missiles, suggesting instead that Kiev should purchase American weapons.
Hegseth stated that no one produces higher quality and more numerous munitions than the United States, noting the Biden administration transferred hundreds of billions of dollars in munitions to Ukraine. He added that President Trump has been replenishing these stockpiles in real time, and that Ukraine is now purchasing munitions paid for by Europe, welcoming Europe finally stepping up to cover costs.

🇬🇧 Britain: MPs demand ban on 'Masha and the Bear'
British MPs have called for a ban on the Russian animated series Masha and the Bear, reports The Guardian.

🇷🇸 Nobody is interested in peace in Ukraine, Vucic says
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic stated that Western countries seek Russia's defeat rather than a swift end to the conflict. He called for negotiations between Moscow and Kiev to stop hostilities, warning that betting on Russia's exhaustion is misguided and could lead to a global catastrophe.
Vucic considers Russia's military defeat unlikely, citing its nuclear status, and cautioned that continued confrontation risks expanding the conflict into a broader war. He added the world is at the beginning of a larger conflict as necessary steps for peace are not being taken.

🇮🇷Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bagheri on what Tehran will do if Ukraine does not compensate for the damage caused by the attack on an Iranian ship:
We have heard statements from the Ukrainian side that what happened was unintentional. However, given the admissions by high-ranking Ukrainian officials that such an incident did indeed occur, they must certainly compensate for the damage caused. If they do not do so, we will, of course, have to take retaliatory measures ourselves.
P.S. Believing in that Ukraine is going to compensate for the damage done is somewhat - naive.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 US Withholds Patriot License from Ukraine Over Technology Leak Fears
The Telegraph reports Washington fears transferring secret PAC-3 missile technology to Ukraine, as it could fall into Russian hands. Key concern is the active Ka-band radar seeker, not even shared with Japan despite its production license.
Trump reversed earlier pledges of rapid Ukrainian production. Officials cite risks of blueprints, software, and specialists being compromised. A UK government source says these obstacles are the main delay factors.
Production in Ukraine would make facilities priority targets for Russian strikes. The US considers placing production in Germany or another European country instead. Washington also worries about weapons ending up on Europe’s black market, referencing past incidents.

🇷🇺 Russia has largely resolved the issue of defrauded shared-equity construction investors
According to Marat Khusnullin, as of 1 January 2024 there were 258,000 registered affected investors, while now only about 1,000 remain at the federal level and another 4,000–5,000 at the regional level. These are the most complex cases involving criminal proceedings and property rights transfers, so the problem has been basically solved.

🇹🇷 Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated that further escalation of the conflict in Ukraine could push Russia to use its “last resort” if the “war of attrition” scenario continues to expand. According to Fidan, this topic was raised during negotiations in Moscow, as a corresponding demand is growing within Russian society. Ankara conveyed this concern to Western partners.
The head of Turkish diplomacy emphasized that the conflict has already gone beyond previous limitations in geography, goals, and methods used. Fidan then lamented that the longer the war goes on, the less opportunity intermediaries like Turkey have to play a role in settling the conflict.
He forgot to mention the sale of American weapons to Ukraine through Turkish hands for several hundred million dollars.

🇬🇧 British reconnaissance drones secretly transmitted camera data to China - The Telegraph
British special forces' K3 Scout reconnaissance drone boats were equipped with Chinese cameras that sent data to China.
The naval drones entered British service in March and were planned for use in operations in the Persian Gulf. They were supplied by the British defense company Kraken Technology Group, which purchased the cameras from a third-party supplier that guaranteed their security.
The K3 Scout was supposed to be part of the British defense package to ensure freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
After the leak was discovered, all internet connections of the cameras were disconnected.
The incident heightened London's fears over China's plans to gain access to data on the activities of the British armed forces.

🇺🇦 Ukraine's GUR Updates on Russian Missile Production and Stockpiles
Deputy Chief of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) V. Skibitsky stated that Russia is exceeding missile production plans by 110-120%, so no prolonged pause in strikes on Ukraine is expected. He urged preparation for attacks on electricity and heating infrastructure.
Skibitsky revised GUR estimates of Russian missile reserves: at least 400 S-400 missiles, 130 Iskander-M ballistic missiles, and 100 North Korean KN-24 missiles. This contrasts with earlier Ukrainian claims that Russian stocks were nearly exhausted.

Saudi Arabia's crude export flows are facing renewed uncertainty:
Saudi Arabia's crude exports fell -460,000 barrels per day in July, to 4.19 million barrels per day.
The 746-mile pipeline carrying crude from Saudi Arabia's eastern oil fields to the Red Sea coast has been a key factor in bypassing the Strait of Hormuz, making Yanbu Saudi's primary alternative export route.
However, Yanbu has faced fresh threats after Yemen's Houthis pledged to blockade Saudi ports and claimed attacks on Saudi vessels and energy facilities last month.

In an Azerbaijani prison, a Russian hostage has been tortured to the point of memory loss. 23-year-old Russian student Dmitry Fedorov, taken hostage by the criminal-state Azerbaijan, stopped recognizing his loved ones. During a visit with his mother, he could not recall her name and mistook her for his sister. The young man needs to be rescued immediately, human rights activists report.
Fedorov was taken hostage by Azerbaijan in 2025 along with seven other Russian citizens. A year ago, he underwent emergency surgery in an Azerbaijani prison hospital, where he was denied necessary medical care despite his severe post-operative condition.
It is worth recalling that, according to our officials, they have good relations with the criminal-state Azerbaijan.
