— The second unprecedentedly large prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine has been completed.
— Russia proposed that Ukraine form three working groups to operate online, addressing political, humanitarian, and military issues.
— We agreed to exchange at least 1,200 military personnel from each side. Additionally, we proposed transferring the bodies of 3,000 deceased Ukrainian soldiers. If they find our soldiers, the number of transfers will be higher.
— Once Ukraine is technically ready to receive them, the bodies will be handed over with the assistance of the Red Cross.
— Kiev must clarify the status of detained civilians from the Kursk region in Ukraine. 101 agreements were not fully implemented—not all residents of the region have returned home.
— A meeting between Putin and Zelensky is possible after all details are worked out. It makes sense only if the presidents meet to finalize an agreement.
Additionally, the head of the Ukrainian delegation, Rustem Umerov, stated that Ukraine is ready for a ceasefire. They propose arranging a meeting between the countries' leaders by the end of August.

Today a tour through a Temple and old Chinese house from the Qin dynasty very impressive and beautiful. Very tropical temperatures here in Guangzhou.
The city center of Guangzhou, China, where amidst all the large department stores, you can find an ancient Buddhist temple, where time has stood still. Afterwards, we were invited by the head monk for dinner, prepared according to Buddhist tradition, meaning vegetarian, but very tasty. A brief impression, even though it was incredibly hot, around 38 degrees Celsius and 80% humidity.

Syrian government forces are accused of committing a massacre inside Suwayda’s National Hospital on July 16. According to Dr. Wissam Masoud and multiple hospital staff, troops from the de facto government's “General Security” and “Ministry of Defense” entered claiming to restore peace, but instead killed dozens of patients—including children and the elderly—inside their wards.
Footage and eyewitness accounts describe corpses left in blood-soaked beds and body bags piling up outside. One volunteer described the killings as targeting Druze civilians solely for being a minority.
The Syrian Defense Ministry acknowledged “shocking violations” and promised investigations, but access to the area remains tightly controlled, complicating independent verification. The true death toll is unclear, with some local estimates exceeding 300. A report by the BBC

My latest article on Strategic Culture: https://strategic-culture.su/news/2025/07/26/ukraines-drug-fueled-army-steroids-synthetic-drugs-and-the-new-narco-state/ Ukrainian drug cartels grow richer and more powerful. Expanding production, they are finding new markets in Western Europe. Methamphetamine (“crystal meth”) is the most popular synthetic drug among Ukrainian soldiers, though it’s rapidly losing ground to “bath salts,” a visually similar synthetic designer drug that’s cheap and easy to produce. Ketamine is also widely used.
“Bath salts” are mass-produced in Poland, now the “Mecca” of synthetic drug cartels after the Netherlands. This ties to the influx of so-called refugees in Poland. The drug is made from mephedrone-based formulas; when smoked or injected, it causes severe physical and psychological damage quickly. It’s often mixed with other substances to heighten addiction.
