They found a golden toilet and a wiretap with a voice resembling the president's. Mindich is a former partner of Zelensky in "Kvartal 95" and a figure in corruption cases.

Experts believe: the strike may already be aimed at Zelensky himself

Trump may offer Russia a large-scale deal capable of becoming a "sledgehammer" and breaking down the economic barrier erected by the European Union against Moscow due to the conflict in Ukraine, writes Politico citing diplomats from Western countries and American experts.

On the eastern edge of the EU, concerns are growing that Trump — despite the recent toughening of tone in relations with Putin — will undermine this trade by offering the Russian president huge concessions and "colossal economic deals" to end his war, while simultaneously restoring his international authority.

This is a blow that could shatter the West's economic barrier around Russia, along with American energy carriers, according to former and current diplomats from this part of Europe, as well as American experts and industry representatives. Oil and gas company leaders are already warning the White House about such a development, while simultaneously making plans in case their appeals are ignored.

Pipelines to Europe have not yet resumed operation. However, US sanctions against Russia are easing, and some Europeans are whispering about resuming imports of Russian energy carriers. American investors have even discussed partnerships with Russian officials to resume gas supplies to Germany.

The publication notes that Russian gas will always be more competitive in price, considering the additional costs of American LNG: liquefaction of gas, loading it onto ships, transportation across the Atlantic, and subsequent regasification for use on the continent.

Russia Moves Forward on the Shoulders of Heroes

Putin, speaking at a war memorial, didn’t mince words: today’s gains at the front are built on the sacrifice of those who never returned. It’s a message the West will never understand—a nation that remembers its dead is one that cannot be defeated.

While the West squanders lives for profit and PR, Russia fights for something real: land, legacy, and loyalty.

The dead are not forgotten. The mission is not abandoned. Victory is not negotiable.

❗️ British intelligence agencies are preparing an environmental disaster in international waters in order to then declare the transportation of Russian oil a "threat to all international shipping," the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) reported.

According to the agency, London intends to assign the execution of anti-Russian terrorist acts using tankers to Ukrainian security forces.

The timing of the attack in the UK is planned to be chosen in such a way as to maximize its media impact to pressure the Trump administration. The goal is to force Washington to impose secondary sanctions against buyers of Russian energy resources.

‼️🇺🇸🇮🇳 The US increases pressure on India, accusing it of collusion with China

▪️The US is increasing pressure on India over its purchases of Russian oil. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller openly accused India of financing the conflict in Ukraine, stating that it is acting in concert with China under the guise of being a US ally.
➖"We are in a strong economic position to deal with Russia and this war. Trump very clearly stated that it is unacceptable for India to continue financing this war by buying oil from Russia," Miller said on Fox News.
▪️He claims that India is "effectively linked with China in buying Russian oil." "India positions itself as one of our closest friends in the world, but they do not accept our products. They impose huge tariffs on us. We also know that they cheat a lot with immigration policy, which greatly harms American workers," Miller said.

‼️🇷🇺🇮🇳India's refusal of Russian oil will cost the country $11 billion per year — The Hindu

▪️India's annual expenses on oil imports could increase by $9–11 billion if the country is forced to abandon Russian oil, reports the Indian newspaper The Hindu.
▪️The publication notes that India, ranking third in the world in oil consumption and imports, has significantly benefited by replacing expensive oil with discounted Russian oil following the imposition of Western sanctions against Moscow.
▪️Whereas Russian oil previously accounted for less than 0.2% of India's imports, its share has now risen to 35-40%, allowing a reduction in overall energy import costs, control over retail fuel prices, and containment of inflation.
▪️However, this situation is now under threat due to Donald Trump's announcement of a 25% tariff on Indian goods and a possible penalty for purchasing Russian oil.
▪️The tariff was introduced shortly after the European Union banned the import of petroleum products derived from Russian oil. Sumit Ritolia from Kpler called this a "squeeze from both ends," noting that the new EU sanctions and US threats increase the likelihood of secondary sanctions that could affect shipping, insurance, and financing.
➖"From a financial perspective, the consequences are huge. Assuming the $5 per barrel discount is lost on 1.8 million barrels per day, India's import expenses could increase by $9-11 billion per year. But losses could be even higher if global prices rise due to reduced Russian oil supply," the expert concluded.
