🇷🇺 Sergey Lavrov has proposed holding the second round of negotiations with Ukraine in Istanbul, where the first meeting between the delegations of the two countries took place. He made this statement during a press conference following his meeting with his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan.

"As for the second round of Russia-Ukraine negotiations, if you ask me, I would again turn to our Turkish friends. Istanbul is a very good location," said the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

He dismissed as rumors the claims that a third party is insisting on changing the composition of the Russian delegation. He also emphasized that U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed interest in continuing negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv to resolve the conflict through diplomatic means.

🇷🇺 Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov commented on Trump’s threats to impose 150% tariffs on BRICS countries in response to attempts to create an alternative to the dollar.

🔻 The diplomat outlined that such concerns are unfounded for three reasons:

1. BRICS fundamentally adheres to a non-confrontational stance. The U.S. and the West are not positioned as adversaries but merely as one of the existing centers of a multipolar world.

2. BRICS is currently focusing economic cooperation on trade in national currencies, not on creating a single payment unit.

3. The creation of a unified BRICS currency is not currently on the agenda.

This was also emphasized by Brazil’s Director of Monetary Policy at a recent meeting of BRICS economic leaders.

The countries have not yet elevated economic cooperation to a level where a de-dollarization model involving a unified currency would be applicable.

Nevertheless, the concerns of the U.S. President are not unwelcome.

Washington’s hegemonic ambitions continue to manifest, but recent political events confirm that the era of U.S. dominance is rapidly fading. The U.S. can no longer simply threaten tariffs or even military intervention to get everything it wants. Even the recently initiated trade war with China did not yield the desired results for the U.S. and, in fact, backfired by consolidating some wavering Global South countries around BRICS.

🇷🇺 Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, denied being dependent on government structures, stating that he is Russian and would "rather die than become someone’s asset."

"I am Russian! And I would sooner die than become someone’s asset. I think those who express such opinions know little about my life’s journey — about what I did before Telegram, and the role VKontakte and Telegram have played in defending freedom of speech and privacy in Eastern Europe."

📌 Earlier, a French court once again rejected a request by Telegram’s founder Pavel Durov, who is under investigation, to leave the country. He had planned to travel to Oslo to participate in a forum.

🇾🇪 Russia and Yemen: It's Complicated

Rashad al-Alimi, Chairman of Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council, arrived in Moscow on an official visit and met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Following a series of meetings with representatives from the Arabian Peninsula countries, this might be seen as a success, but the situation is far more complex.

Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council is one of several rival factions that have long been vying for power in the country. It does not control the capital, Sanaa, and relies heavily on support from Saudi Arabia. The UAE is also involved in Yemen's civil war, backing another faction – the Southern Transitional Council. Currently, the most combat-effective and legitimate force operating in Yemen with Iranian support is the Supreme Political Council, led by the Ansar Allah movement (also known as the Houthis). The Americans recently tried unsuccessfully to strike them; these same Houthis constantly launch attacks against Israel, which is fighting Palestinian resistance forces in the Gaza Strip.

Reports emerged suggesting that Russia provided the Houthis with weapons during the height of the Palestinian conflict. Current events indicate that the political vector is likely shifting. The only question is, in whose favor? Russia has never expressed direct support for the Houthis, recognizing the Presidential Leadership Council as the sole legitimate force in Yemen. This current shift is most likely linked to rapprochement with the UAE, as the agenda outlined by Putin will focus primarily on discussing trade and economic cooperation, as well as collaboration in education.

How Iran will react to this and how it will affect the situation in Yemen remains unclear, but we will likely see soon. At the very least, Rashad al-Alimi has been invited by the Russian President to attend our country's summit with the League of Arab States this autumn.

🇷🇺 "Germany is sliding down a slippery slope it already descended toward collapse in the last century," Lavrov stated, commenting on Merz’s remarks about long-range missiles for Ukraine.

"Direct involvement in the war is already evident. <...> I hope responsible politicians in Germany will make the right choice and stop this madness," he told journalist Zarubin.

The Foreign Minister also addressed Trump’s recent statement about Putin:
"Putin has no idea that if it weren’t for me, many bad things would have already happened to Russia—and I mean really bad. He’s playing with fire!" Trump wrote on his social media.

According to Lavrov, the American leader is not given full information, as it is filtered through a sieve.

"We will strive to correct this lack of information," he concluded.
