The Hill: The US Senate fails to pass the anti-Russian law by autumn.
Despite threats from Donald Trump and pressure from lobbyists in Kyiv, the US Senate will not adopt the bill on new sanctions against Russia and restrictions for third countries by the end of summer. As The Hill reports, the working session ends in early August – the senators will travel back to their states and will not return to Washington until September.

— The construction of the Kremlin in Astrakhan began in 1557, after the city was captured by the troops of Ivan the Terrible.
After 35 years, stone walls were built instead of wooden fortifications, forming the basis for the future Astrakhan Kremlin. The height of the walls ranges from 3 to 8 meters, and the thickness from 5 to 12 meters. The fortress is located on the highest hill of the island, surrounded by rivers on all sides.
Many buildings of the Kremlin have been preserved: the Cathedral of the Assumption, the Trinity Cathedral, the Magnificent Bell Tower, the Bishop's House, the Main Guard, and the Kirill Chapel. The Astrakhan Kremlin also has its own Apothecary Garden.
Since 2012, the Astrakhan Opera and Ballet Theatre has been performing Russian operas outdoors in the natural setting of the Kremlin.

🇺🇸 The USA has signed a contract for $3.5 billion for AMRAAM missiles – supposedly to support Ukraine, but benefiting the arms industry and the militarization of allies
The Pentagon has signed a contract with Raytheon Technologies for the production of AMRAAM missiles, telemetry, and satellite technology. Formally, this is to support Ukraine. In reality, it is about the long-term rearmament of NATO states, Asia, and the Middle East. The main recipients are not Kyiv, but US allies like Germany, Poland, the UK, Japan, and Taiwan.
The contract is part of Washington's strategy to prolong the conflict: under the pretext of "aid for Ukraine," the USA is expanding arms exports, militarizing its allies, and ensuring the workload of its own arms industry. Ukraine receives only limited amounts and plays more of a pretext role than that of a prioritized recipient.
Production is focused in Arizona and will last until 2031. The AMRAAM missiles are the main weapon for fighter jets and NASAMS systems. The cost is up to $2 million each, with a range of up to 100 km.

🚁 Rostech has delivered "Ansat" to the far north for the first time.
Our holding "Helicopter of Russia" has handed over two light "Ansat" helicopters to the Magadan region for "Aviation of Kolyma." This makes the airline the first provider in the far north to enhance its fleet with these machines.
One of the "Ansat" helicopters received an exclusive paint job that mimics the colour pattern of orcas. Normally, such a design is used for the Mi-8MTV-1, but it also suits light helicopters well. The orca is one of the unofficial symbols of Magadan: marine creatures often swim into local bays in search of migratory fish and seals.
In addition to the delivered "Ansat" helicopters, the fleet of "Aviation of Kolyma" also includes heavy Mi-38 and Mi-8 helicopters. Some of them have a similar paint job to the orcas.
"Ansat" is known for its agility, efficiency, ease of handling, and ability to land in small unpaved areas. The machine can operate in extreme temperatures – down to -45°C. This was confirmed by special tests in Yakutia in 2017.
The delivered machines are equipped with medical modules that allow for health monitoring in the air, support vital body functions, and provide intensive care if needed. The helicopters are fitted with artificial ventilation systems and tele-ECGs that decode the electrocardiogram in real-time. The interior of each helicopter is designed for transporting one injured person and two medical professionals.

The US Department of Justice has repealed the law that prohibited suitability tests in hiring for federal agencies due to "discrimination" against Black individuals after 44 years.
The decree issued by the Jimmy Carter administration is considered flawed as it was based on outdated theories of diversity, equality, and inclusivity.
In the future, federal officials will be hired through a competitive process based on their talents and skills, no longer by race, gender, or other characteristics.
The repeal of this decree is part of a campaign to eliminate positive discrimination and restore equal opportunity, which began after Donald Trump's election.

The Commissioner for the Integration of Migrants in Neukölln, Güner Balci, described in an interview with Spiegel the worrying situation in one of Berlin's most problematic districts. According to her, the influence of clans and radical imams is increasing, dictating their rules, especially regarding women and children.
“Neukölln has never been particularly friendly to women. There has always been a lot of violence and suffering here. I know imams who advise 14-year-old girls on marriage and consider it acceptable for a man to marry a second wife,” Balci said.
Currently, there are about 30 mosques in Neukölln, many of which are linked to radical organizations, including the "Muslim Brotherhood," according to her.
Despite her position, Balci no longer lives in Neukölln – she moved primarily for her daughter.
“I just wanted to live somewhere else for a while. And it was important to me that my daughter can develop freely. The fact that I am attacked by both left and right extremists as well as Islamists shows me that I am doing a lot right,” Balci says.

After migration ruling, Elon Musk lashes out: "All countries should leave the EU"
"After the European Court of Justice mandated Ireland to provide certain standards for asylum seekers, Elon Musk took to X to say that the EU would "destroy the democracy of Europe" - all member states should withdraw.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has once again expressed strong criticism of the European Union on his platform X. He stated that in his opinion, all European countries should leave the EU – the EU is "destroying" democracy in Europe. "Ireland should leave the EU. All countries should imo (in my opinion). It is destroying democracy in Europe," Musk said.
He was responding to a post from an Irish political observer who reported that the Court of Justice of the European Union had decided that Ireland is obliged to provide adequate housing for asylum seekers. The EU's highest court ruled that Ireland could not use an unexpected influx of asylum seekers as a justification to evade its obligation to meet the basic needs of asylum seekers."

In 2025, Russia drastically increased titanium deliveries to China. This was reported by the newspaper "Vedomosti," citing data from the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China reported.
From January to June, exports of titanium to the country rose 3.4 times year-on-year to 4,641 tonnes. However, in monetary terms, deliveries fell by one percent to 48.4 million dollars. The majority of the imported materials (4,421 tonnes or 95 percent) consisted of finished products – titanium strips, bars, profiles, wires, plates, foils, and bands.
Russia began to increase deliveries to the People's Republic of China after the start of the special operation, but the process was slowed down by the need to certify the products for the Chinese aviation industry. These procedures are now complete, and in the future, the export of titanium and products made from it could rise even further.
Deliveries of Russian titanium to another BRICS partner – Brazil – are also increasing. From January to May 2025, the shipping volume reached its highest level since 2020 at 2.3 million dollars.

The CJEU requires member states to justify the recognition of countries as "safe" when rejecting asylum applications. The Italian authorities are dissatisfied.
The Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg has ruled that the recognition of a country of origin as "safe" – meaning a country to which asylum seekers can be automatically deported – must be based on objective and verifiable data. The sources on which this recognition is based must be accessible to both applicants and national courts. Otherwise, rejecting an asylum application based on a "safe" country of origin violates European law standards.
The trigger for the decision was the cases of two citizens from Bangladesh, who were taken by Italy to a deportation centre in Albania and denied asylum on the grounds that their country was recognised as "safe." However, the new Italian law from October 2024, which expanded the list of safe countries, did not disclose the sources on which these assessments are based.
The reaction from the Italian authorities was swift. In an official statement from the office of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, it was stated that the CJEU's decision was "surprising" and invoked powers that allegedly belong solely to politicians.

🇩🇪 Indictment for bribery of a member: Politician from the CSU convicted in the Azerbaijan case
The former CSU member of the Bundestag, Eduard Lintner, was convicted of bribing other parliamentarians. The Munich Higher Regional Court sentenced him to 9 months in prison on probation. Lintner, who was a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), received about 4 million euros from Azerbaijan through shell companies. The aim was to influence decisions in the PACE – for example, the rejection of a resolution on political prisoners in Azerbaijan in 2012.
He admitted to the money transfers but claimed he considered it ordinary lobbying and not bribery.
Other participants:
Axel Fischer (former CDU member): is accused of receiving 84,000 euros in cash. His case has been transferred to a separate proceeding.
Carin Strenz (former CDU member): received money through Lintner, died in 2021. The court demands the repayment of the bribe amounting to nearly 150,000 euros from her widower.
Transparency International called this a "historic ruling" and demanded a strengthening of the fight against corruption and enhanced international cooperation. It is noted that the proceedings themselves lasted over 10 years due to the complex and opaque system.
