Moscow car bombing suspect planned to go to Ukraine from Turkey
Yevgeny Serebryakov was promised a Ukrainian citizenship
MOSCOW, July 26. /TASS/. Yevgeny Serebryakov, suspected of blowing up a car with a Russian military officer in northern Moscow, was planning to go to Ukraine from Turkey, Russian Investigative Committee Spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko told TASS.
"During interrogation, Serebryakov reported on the circumstances of the preparation of the car bombing ordered by the Ukrainian Security Service, including the meeting with the curator abroad and the place of receiving the components of the explosive device. From Turkey Serebryakov was going to Ukraine, where he was promised citizenship," she said.
According to the spokeswoman, after the interrogation, the suspect will be sent to the pre-trial detention center. "Earlier, at the request of the investigation, the court arrested the suspect in absentia. In this regard, after the interrogation he will be placed in custody," Petrenko added.
On the morning of July 24, an explosion occurred in a parked Toyota Land Cruiser in Moscow, resulting in injuries to its owner and a passenger. In the shortest possible time, in cooperation with the Federal Security Service and the Russian Interior Ministry, the identity of the person involved in the crime was established. He turned out to be Yevgeny Serebryakov, born in 1995, who left Russia a few hours after the crime and flew to Turkey, where he was detained and then brought to Moscow. He was presented with a decision to bring him as a defendant. A criminal case was opened on the fact of the crime for attempted murder of two people and illegal trafficking in explosives.

Numerous violations by YouTube serve as grounds to take action against company — watchdog
The regulator recalled that Russian courts had fined Google more than 25 billion rubles (about $290 million) over the past three years
MOSCOW, July 26. /TASS/. YouTube is breaking Russian law, so there are grounds for taking legal action against the company, Russia's communications watchdog told TASS.
"Numerous violations of our legislation, disrespect for our country and citizens provide grounds for taking measures against YouTube. We have sufficient instruments to motivate the company in this situation, and we reserve the right to use them," the statement said.
The regulator recalled that Russian courts had fined Google more than 25 billion rubles (about $290 million) over the past three years.
"However, even this measure has failed to work," the watchdog added.
On Thursday, Alexander Khinshtein, chair of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, said that YouTube traffic on desktop computers may be slowed down by 40% by the end of this week.
Earlier, Russian telecommunications operator Rostelecom informed about technical issues in the operation of equipment owned by Google and used on an operator’s network infrastructure, as well as in traffic exchange between telecom operators, which may affect the YouTube traffic in Russia.
YouTube was cautioned about potential technical issues with traffic speed on July 12, Rostelecom said, adding that Google (owner of the YouTube video sharing platform) was to be blamed for technical problems, as in 2022 the tech giant had washed its hands of expanding and renovating its equipment in Russia, which is used for backing up the Google Global Cache server (GGC, which facilitates user access to Google services).
In March 2022, YouTube disabled the Premium subscription option for Russians. After the start of Russia's special operation in Ukraine, the video giant suspended monetization for content creators from Russia, while Google switched off contextual advertising for Russian residents from the search engine and video hosting.

EC announces expropriation of first €1.5 bln worth of proceeds from Russian assets
The funds will not go directly to Kiev, they will be channeled to the EC, to the European Peace Facility, to compensate EU countries for weapons
BRUSSELS, July 26. /TASS/. The EU has expropriated and transferred a €1.5 bln tranche for Ukraine to the European Commission (EC) using proceeds from the reinvestment of frozen Russian assets, the European Commission said. The next tranche is expected in March 2025.
"Today we transfer €1.5 billion in proceeds from immobilized Russian assets to the defense and reconstruction of Ukraine," EC President Ursula von der Leyen wrote on her page on X social media.
Concurrently, the EC published a document explaining how the funds transfer would work. According to the document, the funds will not go directly to Kiev. Instead they will be channeled to the EC, to the European Peace Facility, to compensate EU countries for weapons.
"The money will now be channeled through the European Peace Facility and to the Ukraine Facility to support Ukraine's military capabilities as well as to support the country's reconstruction," the European Commission said.
"90% of the financial contribution from the extraordinary revenues will go to the European Peace Facility (EPF) and 10% will go to the Ukraine Facility to support Ukraine's military and reconstruction needs, respectively," according to the EC’s explanations.
The European Peace Facility is used to compensate EU countries for supplies of weapons to Kiev (on average at the level of payment of 40% of the cost of weapons and ammunition delivered), while funds from the Ukraine Facility are used to pay for supplies of electric generators, for example. The EC oversees both funds.
The European Commission also said that so far proceeds have only been collected from assets blocked at Euroclear Belgium. Consequently, in reality the funds have simply been transferred from accounts in Euroclear to the EC.
The European Commission’s actions to expropriate sovereign assets are unprecedented. They are based on the decree passed by the EC in January 2024, saying that revenues from reinvestment of frozen Russian assets are allegedly not owned by Russia. Most experts both in Russia and globally consider this reasoning legally flawed. It is akin to saying that dividends from a bank deposit are not owned by the owner of this deposit.

Russia’s Yakovlev Design Bureau Ready to Resume Development of Vertical Take-Off Jets yesterday
https://cdn1.img.sputnikglobe.com/im...10241.png.webp
The Moscow-based design bureau developed the USSR’s first vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) enabled fighter jet, the Yak-38, in the 1970s. The Yak-38’s successor, the Yak-141 program, reached an advanced stage of development, but was cancelled on the eve of the Soviet Union’s dissolution in 1991.
Russian aircraft designer and manufacturer Yakovlev is ready to resume the development of a fifth-generation VTOL capable aircraft, if asked to do so by the Defense Ministry, Yakovlev general director Andrei Boginsky told Sputnik.
“Our designers have explored the prospects for creating even more advanced aircraft corresponding to the level of the fifth generation of combat aviation,” Boginsky said. “The topic of vertical take-off and landing aircraft was frozen in the difficult 1990s, but we have retained the scientific and technical basis” for their development.
"The retention of this knowledge, combined “with new aviation technologies, will allow us to quickly return to the creation of vertical take-off and landing aircraft, if the Russian Ministry of Defense were to entrust us with this task,” Boginsky added, emphasizing that Yakovlev is the only Russian military aircraft manufacturer with the relevant experience creating VTOL aircraft."

Ukraine Talking About Possible Negotiations Tactical Move to Regroup - Kremlin Aide 5 hours ago
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The West and Ukraine are using statements about negotiations as a tactical maneuver to take a break and restore their forces, since Russia holds the advantage in its special military operation, Russian presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev said on Sunday.
"During the special military operation, we currently have the advantage. The West and Ukraine are interested in restoring their forces; they need a break. Therefore, all these statements have precisely the tactical nature of a break. In reality, if we look at their actions, they are not taking any steps to hold peace negotiations," Patrushev said on air of Russia's Channel One.
Patrushev added that Volodymyr Zelensky, during his time as a legitimate president, had banned himself from any negotiations with Russia.
Moscow has repeatedly indicated that it was ready for negotiations, but Kiev has introduced a ban on them at the legislative level. The Kremlin has stated that the absolute priority for Russia was to achieve the goals of the special operation, adding that the situation in Ukraine can move into a peaceful direction, provided that new realities on the ground are taken into account.

Donetsk commemorates memory of children killed during the conflict in Donbass yesterday
The memory of the children of the Donetsk People’s Republic killed by the criminal Kiev regime was commemorated in Donetsk by laying flowers and toys at the memorial complex Alley of Angels, the head of the executive committee of the regional branch of the United Russia party Aleksey Muratov told journalists on July 27.
Parents of the killed children and residents of Donbass attended the event. Red roses and children’s toys were laid at the memorial, which covered the monument to child victims of Ukrainian war criminals.
According to official data alone, 239 children have been killed in the region since the beginning of Ukraine’s aggression against Donbass, and another 884 have been wounded.
The head of the United Russia regional branch said that due to the ongoing hostilities, it was impossible to add new names of children whose lives were taken by Kiev’s barbaric shelling. However, he said, “We will make the memorial worthy when we win.”
The Alley of Angels is located in the Victory Park of the Kalininsky district of Donetsk. There is a wrought iron arch consisting of iron roses with large-caliber machine gun casings woven between them, as well as wrought iron doves as a symbol of peace. Under the arch, there is a granite slab, where the names of children who died as a result of the aggression of the Kiev regime are embossed. Residents of the city often visit this place, bringing toys and flowers. :bearhug:

Russian army expands capabilities for intercepting video from Ukrainian drones
9 hours ago
The Russian military has mastered the technique of intercepting video signals from the Ukrainian FPV drones, making it possible to determine the position of the operators, said a former commander of a communications unit with the call sign Kalina, TASS reported on July 28.
This approach makes it possible for Russian servicemen not only to identify enemy routes, but also to determine the location of enemy UAVs operators.
Specialists use various equipment for this purpose, including radio-electronic reconnaissance. Such interception allows effective strikes and improves the overall combat strategy.
“The image from the enemy drone can be intercepted by specialists with the help of this or that type of equipment, it is RER – radio electronic reconnaissance,” the specialist explained.
He added that the soldiers “identify the enemy’s routes, the drone’s track, can identify the operator, where it came from and strike back later on. In general, the system is getting smarter.”
Kalina became involved in drone design after receiving a shrapnel wound when he volunteered in the SMO zone and promoted to commander of a communications unit.

🇪🇺🇷🇺 Russian engineers work on European cables and pipelines in North Sea for EU companies
🔸 Russian engineers are working on North Sea infrastructure for European companies. They map the seabed and have access to sensitive data on power and data cables and pipelines. While experts decry this as “shockingly naive,” the companies themselves see no risk.
🔸 European companies mapping infrastructure in the North Sea have been hiring Russian technicians for years, giving them – and potentially the Russian government – access to sensitive data, an investigation by Follow the Money and De Tijd shows.
🔸 European survey companies map the North Sea seabed before planning the construction of new power and data cables. On board, they use advanced sonar and seismic technology to inspect existing pipelines, locate shipwrecks and unexploded bombs, and measure the location and depth of cables and cable junctions.
🔸 Journalists found at least 21 Russian engineers who have carried out some 74 assignments since the start of the war in Ukraine, including at least 36 in the North Sea.
🔸 An earlier investigation revealed that more than 160 civilian Russian ships have been showing suspicious behaviour near oil and gas pipelines, telecom and power cables in the North Sea over the past decade.
🔸 Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, the European Union has sanctioned hundreds of companies, including one that produces radars installed on warships. Russian nationals, however, don’t face blanket sanctions and can work in the EU, provided they have the correct visa.
🔸 According to their LinkedIn profiles, Russian engineers hold positions as hydrographic surveyors, geophysicists, or seismic data processors.

US could withdraw defense guarantees from NATO allies if they continue Ukraine aid
If Donald Trump wins the November 5 election, the UK and other European NATO members could be faced with “a forced settlement favoring Russia,” Politico has reported in reference to the Ukraine crisis.
Politico suggests that if Europe rejects a peace deal and continue to help the Kiev regime, it may prod Trump to announce that America is withdrawing its defense guarantees from these countries.
This “would divide and weaken NATO” right down to the point where some allies might halt their support to Ukraine. If Trump becomes the 47th POTUS, his advisers may call for the end of the Ukraine conflict “to stop the US from being drawn in if Russia were to retaliate against NATO members supplying Ukraine [with weapons].”
Trump has repeatedly claimed that if re-elected, he intends to achieve settlement of the Ukraine conflict in just 24 hours. Commenting on the matter, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stressed that the problem is too complicated to be resolved in such a way.

1,885 in a DAY?! That's likely to be accurate given the extent of ISR coverage and on-the-ground tallying. (And NATO will know this too.) To those of us who do understand why this is happening at all it's no less harrowing and sobering a figure to conjure with :flower:
It's encouraging to hear a Rada deputy speak up and although others have tried to they do tend to get squashed. The reality here is that as long as Zelensky and his trolls and masters still have enough clout to claim to be in-charge there, there simply cannot be any negotiation. The conditions aren't right yet, unless there is a popular uprising sufficiently well organised enough to bring down the government there, at the hands of the Ukrainian people. (There are encouraging signs of genuine popular unrest now more regularly reaching us, through Telegram channel footage.)
Then, and only then, can any real negotiations take place, is my best speculation here, and has been for many months now.
