Russian special envoy blasted the disinformation mechanisms of the Western media:
"Legacy media pushed that Russia blew up Nord Stream—an absurd claim that Russia sabotaged its own energy infrastructure. Case study in narrative manufacturing: who funds, who frames, who amplifies?" he wrote on X.

UK Science and Tech Secretary Peter Kyle has been in talks with CEO Sam Altman about giving every British citizen free access to ChatGPT Plus, The Guardian reports.
The two reportedly floated the idea in San Francisco earlier this year, but the perk would come with a monster price tag of $2.7 billion.
Although the MoU isn’t binding, it could potentially let OpenAI weave itself deep into the state’s machinery — education, healthcare, justice, defense, and even security.
Considering Britain is one of its biggest markets, this looks like a strategic move by OpenAI to tighten its grip on yet another government.

🇬🇧⚔️ UK ramps up Ukraine training as Europe’s war hawks push ‘security guarantees’
The UK’s Interflex program has now been extended to at least 2026, Bloomberg reports.
◻️ Over 50,000 Ukrainian recruits have already received both combat and leadership training.
◻️ A further element of the plan involves a so-called US backstop, providing intelligence, border surveillance, weapons, and potentially air defenses, the outlet says.
Meanwhile, a UK and France-led “Coalition of the Willing” plans to station European forces in Ukraine as European war hawks push “security guarantees” tied to a potential peace deal.
❗ Russia insists that any security guarantees for Ukraine must reference the 2022 Istanbul talks, and discussions about a security framework without Russia lead nowhere.
