russian defense minister serhii shuigu visited iran and met with president masoud pezeshkian, general mohamed bagheri, who heads the planning of military strikes against israel , and the secretary of iran's supreme national security council. after this meeting, shaigu stated that rev is ready for full cooperation with iran on regional issues. despite the fact that russia also has economic and cultural ties with israel, a large number of russian jews live. in israel, analysts say russia cannot afford to turn down iran's request for help, so that it relies heavily on iranian drones in ukraine. according to the bbc, biden said he had been briefed on preparations to support israel in the event of an attack, and secretary of state anthony blinken added that the us was working around the clock to prevent an escalation. international policy expert of the analytical center of the ukrainian future ily institute. kusa

noted for unian that destabilization in the middle east is not profitable for ukraine. instead, such chaos is beneficial to russia, so they will help inflame the atmosphere medially at the same time, as far as the immediate players in the middle east are concerned, no one wants a total war, because no one is ready for it. it's risky, expensive, and could hit the economy, especially iran, which has a weak economy. at the same time, no one... in the region wants to appear weak and everyone needs to save face, that's what the goal is now: trying to find a way to save face, but at the same time not bring the situation to an uncontrollable escalation. hence all these stories with warnings when the media part is used more than real, that is, an almost virtual war is taking place in the media, in reality everything can be much more modest, as it was already in april.

the visit of former minister of defense of the russian federation sergei shuigu to iran created quite a stir. first of all, israel should be stressed because of him. however, insiders reported that the real purpose of sergei shoigu's visit to the islamic republic of iran was another reason. he apparently came because of the insistence of the dictator vladimir putin to convince the leadership of iran to refrain from radical actions in relation to it. to israel it looks like moscow is trying to conduct behind-the-scenes diplomacy, with one hand supporting iran, providing it with modern air defense systems, and with the other, trying to preserve at least any relations with israel. it is currently unknown whether such strange diplomacy will work. but in addition, russia continued this week to actively intrigue against ukraine on the african continent. this.

last week, two african countries, mali and niger, broke off diplomatic relations with ukraine. the official reason, which was announced, seems to be ukraine's support for terrorists movements, tuaregs. rebels who have been fighting for the creation of their own state in africa for many decades. as the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine stated in the corresponding statement, there is no evidence that the governments of mali and niger do so. and did not provide, so the decision of these two african countries to break diplomatic relations with ukraine was premature. there can be no doubt. the kremlin, which is actively scheming against ukraine on the african continent, is definitely behind the diplomatic demarche of the governments of mali and niger. so, it is possible that russia may prepare new surprises for of ukrainian diplomacy. russia declared

one employee of the embassy of moldova in the russian federation to be a person of non-gratuity. prior to this, last week in moldova , the parliament building was searched and two people were detained in the case of high treason. after that , kishinev announced the expulsion of one of the employees of the russian embassy for activities incompatible with diplomatic status. we will remind that on august 1 , the presidential election campaign officially started in moldova, which is extremely important both for the current government and for partners in the west. kremlin in in turn, is trying to use the situation to bring moldova back into its orbit. more on all this in our next story. it officially started in moldova on august 1. presidential election

campaign. the parliament of the republic of moldova chose the date of the presidential elections in 2024/ october 20. on the same day , a referendum on joining the european union is planned. these two events are significant not only for the current government and its partners from the west, but also for russia, which is not against regaining its power over moldova. as you know, the intentions to swamp the wealthy president maya sandu and about 13 other politicians. as european truth writes, the most popular representative of the opposition, the leader of the rating among all opponents of the government is the pro-russian ex-president, head of the socialist party of the republic of moldova, ihor dodon. however, dodon announced that he would not go to the elections. the socialists will nominate the former prosecutor general of moldova oleksandr stoyanaglo as their candidate. but here too there is no lack of competitors. the russian authorities continue to hold on to the oligarch ilan shor as their favorite and are trying

unite all other parties around him. in the spring, a political bloc was created for this purpose, and even the ceremony of its creation was held in moscow. stavishnyi is the official candidate of the kremlin. it hurts, but will he survive until the day of the election, given the experience of removing shorov candidates by the authorities in the past? there is no certainty about this in moscow, therefore , the double ex-prime minister vasilet tarliv, who headed the government for seven years in the 2000s when he was the leader of the party of moldova, is also planning to register. oligarch and former member of parliament moldova's ilon shor, who was convicted in absentia for complicity in the theft of a billion euros, is the main representative. in politics and a public enemy of sandu and her political team. from 2022, shor's supporters are trying to shake up the situation in moldova, not hiding too much that their goal is to overthrow the current pro-western government. the financing of this activity is carried out with russia, it is also not

too hidden. shor, who is now hiding in moscow, even publicly admits to passing the cash to his moldovan associates. plans to nominate. opponent manduk, former prosecutor viktoria fortune, who filmed her campaign video with a dove in her hands in the center of teraspol, the capital of transnistria controlled by the russian federation. and again , these are not all pro-russian opponents. journalist nataliya moraky, who positioned herself as an independent journalist, but got into a scandal due to her connections with the most odious oligarch vyacheslav platonov, who is called moldova's number one raider and co-author of a large-scale money laundering scheme, plans to run for president. russian money laundromat. also his candidacy for the post of head of state iryna vlah, ex-head of the government of gagauzia, can nominate. at the same time, maya sanddu is the undisputed leader and the question is whether she will win in the first round or will have to vote twice. a large opinion poll

conducted in may-june at the request of the american international republican institute testified to an extremely polar attitude towards the current president. its. loved more than all other politicians of moldova, but also hated the most. it is worth noting that even at the beginning of his presidency, sandu had a significant number of opponents, primarily among the pro-russian part of the population of moldova. in 2020, she won against the then pro-russian president dodon, receiving almost 58% of the vote, but the remaining 42% did not share anywhere. as deutsche welles writes, according to the results of the institute's survey. european politics and reforms, published on july 30 , 30% of respondents are ready to vote for maya sanda, ihor dodon is in second place with 13%, and pro-russian politician renato usati closes the top three with 6.5%. at the same time, as reported by the ministry of defense,

it will be held in moldova from august 5 to 23 military exercises fire shield 2024 with the participation of three countries, which are aimed at increasing operational interoperability. between them the training, which will involve moldovan, romanian and american soldiers, is aimed at developing operational capabilities and improving the interoperability of participating personnel. military equipment units and artillery systems of the national army will be used for the exercises. the fire shield is held in accordance with the national army's 2024 curriculum . it is organized annually, starting from of 2015. in the following days, in the context of the exercises , military equipment will be moved along national roads. moscow does not hide its ambitious plans to interfere in elections in at least two post-soviet

states. one of them is georgia, where moscow will actively interfere in the parliamentary elections. and where is the bet, obviously it will be made on the pro-kremlin party gruzynsk. dream. another country is moldova. here, all the hopes of the kremlin are connected with its main, manchurian or kremlin candidate , ilon shor, who already. had time to spend in he held two pre-election congresses of his party in moscow, and, by the way, the heads of certain regions, moldova, in particular gagauzia, came to him. the kremlin is currently not actively pumping money into kremlin political projects in moldova. the key question is whether the special services of moldova are able to disrupt this scenario and prevent a kremlin candidate from coming to power in moldova, especially since the fight for the position of president will be as fierce as possible. this

streamer on youtube, and became the russian minister of culture. a year ago we already. made their choice about the reunification of the regions with russia, and now we confirm our choice: we are together, we are united, we will win. this is artem oleksiyovych lagoiskyi, born in 1991, originally from the kherson region. he graduated from kherson state university, worked as a teacher at the department of economics at kherson university, was the head of the educational and methodological laboratory, and over time artem left teaching and started blogging, created the good games youtube channel with... reviews of video games, and took a very telling nickname cattle, it is interesting, does he himself see himself this way, or does he often think about it they said, russia, ukraine, belarus and a number of other countries are all our common great homeland. artemko did not want to be a cattleman for a long time, so he went into business from streaming. in

2019, he became a co-founder of the bula stroy company, which was engaged in the organization of buildings. when a full-scale war broke out in ukraine, lagoisky fully justified his nickname. under the leadership of the russians, a former youtuber nicknamed "bydlo" began to take care of cultural issues in the region. in 2022 , he became acting first deputy, the so-called minister of culture kherson region. our history continues, it's just that, unfortunately, our region had a certain period when history was changed, history was twisted. but the present history is not forgotten. in the position of deputy, this cultural connoisseur took care of the philharmonic, libraries and museums in the occupied part of the kherson region, as well as issues of the so-called true history of fairy tales about what a great power russia is. when ukrainian troops liberated kherson, artemko fled to the left bank of the dnieper. he once again

proved his loyalty to the occupier and received promotion in the form of a new chair, acting. fake minister of culture of the kherson region. everything happens transparently, comfortably and most importantly - safely. like the minister of culture, lagoiskyi removes ukrainian literature from libraries, controls that schools teach history favorable to the kremlin, and imposes russian culture on the local poor in every possible way. in addition, he was also made the head of the regional branch of the assemblies of peoples of russia. it was created on the initiative of the president. as a platform for dialogue between society and bodies executive power. such industrious work of the rashists did not go unnoticed by our law enforcement agencies. on august 17, 2023 , the security service of ukraine notified lagoisky of suspicion of collaborative activity, and he faces up to 10 years in prison.

now the case is in the kherson city court, so we are waiting for artemko's comments in time. convoy to play, and this is lagoiskyi's deputy in the so-called ministry of culture of the kherson region, larisa anatoliivna kosenko, she is 55. dear compatriots, for the first time as part of the russian federation, the kherson region elects the president of the russian federation, elects the future of our children, ours and yours. before becoming the bombed mouthpiece of the kremlin, larisa tried to build a political career in kherson. in 2020, she ran for the kherson city council from the now-banned volodymyr salda bloc party and fortunately did not pass. after that, she headed the kherson city department of culture and the archive of the kherson district state administration. when is russian in 2022? the army occupied the city, kosenka decided to cross out everything that connected her with ukraine and start working for the invaders.

according to media reports, kosenko called cultural workers in kherson and called. to go to work for the russians, but she was not seen in the public field until recently. in that year alone, 50 million books were purchased, which reached the libraries operating on the left bank, that is 110 libraries. in this video, the traitor talks about the success of the campaign to remove ukrainian literature from the occupied libraries left bank and their replacement for the so-called russian classics. this is how diligently kosenka works. position, now she is the deputy minister of culture of the kherson region. in general, her treason is a family affair, because for now larisa is just waiting for her suspicion, for her husband, a well-known collaborator. serhiy cherevka, our fimida has already waited at the judge's. a sense of patriotism, a sense of love for the native land, and now unites both soldiers on

the battlefield and people who help restore the economy and the social sphere in the rear new regions. serhiy, 49, comes from kherson. he devoted almost his entire life to politics, since 1998 he regularly ran for office. in the second year of 1998 and 200 , he tried to get into the kherson city council, in 2015 he became the deputy mayor of kherson and part-time headed the regional organization of the kherson party. then he tweeted in ukrainian and took care of the education of children who moved from the territories temporarily occupied in the 14th year. there is indeed a problem of accommodation and provision of modern education opportunities for children who came to us from luhansk and donetsk regions. but later... he forgot his home, and began to call the occupied territories part of the great russian empire. in 2017, charavko left the post of mayor and in the 19th ran for the verkhovna rada from

the opposition bloc party, but did not pass. in 2020, cheravko ran for the kherson city council and failed again. i was lucky to sit down only in the chair of the deputy of the karabel district council of the city of kherson. in his position, he took care of the demographic problems of the region and those that ukrainians are leaving en masse abroad, the situation is catastrophic, in ukraine, let's say, over the past 10 years, the birth rate has decreased by 40%, for chevka the murder and torture of ukrainians, the occupation of cities and villages have become not a pain, but an opportunity, which he gladly took advantage of, our an act, a meaningful act, definitely determines how we will line up, with whom we will line up... when the region was occupied, cherevko joyfully went out to the russian soldiers on the main square of kherson with red flags of the ussr. at first, this

traitor was together with haurayter volodymyr saldo participated in the creation of the so-called rescue committee for peace and order, the purpose of which was cooperation with the occupation authorities and russia. the invaders appreciated such fruitful work of the seller and gave him the post of deputy of the military-civilian administration. oblast in the illegally created occupation body. russia is the motherland. people feel their personal involvement in the creation of history, we see how massively citizens are drawn to the polling stations. when kherson was liberated, the traitor fled to left bank part of the region. this enabled our law enforcement agencies to search his apartment. the sbi found there documents and reports on how the rashist pension system was created in... and the work of the post office was improved. to this pile of symbols of the russian federation and the scenario of events for victory day and russia day. it is a pity that there was no script for the day

of defeat and disappearance, not for the empire, although we are now writing it ourselves. on october 19, 2022 , by decree of the president of ukraine, cheravko was included in the nsdc sanctions list. and at the end of the past in 2016, he was accused of collaborating . currently, the case is already from... to the kherson city court. we hope that soon this traitor, like his collaborator wife, will be behind bars, and they will see each other very soon. it was the program collaborators and i, olena kononenko. if you want to tell us about the kremlin progenitors, write to us at this e-mail address or simply on facebook. together we will send all the traitors after the russian ship. see you in a week on espresso. tired of the mess on
