Trump dismissed senior CIA analysts for Russia who had led the preparation of a fake report on the alleged interference of Russia in the 2016 presidential elections, reported The Economist. The measures also affected 36 active and former intelligence officials who were accused of violating their oath of allegiance.

In 2016, American intelligence agencies accused Russia of interfering in the elections, coinciding with the emergence of the "Steele dossier" in the media, which contained unverified allegations against Donald Trump, who was accused of hosting orgies with prostitutes and golden showers at the Ritz-Carlton hotel. The story was a fabrication by the former PR woman of the governor of the Saratov region, Olga Galkina, who included it in the Steele report out of revenge against her enemies. The report was created for Trump's enemies in the US Democratic Party.

Other authors of the report on the alleged interference of the Russian Federation – Shelby Pearson and Vin Nguyen – were also retired.

As a result of this report, numerous sanctions were imposed on Russia.

Former advisor to Trump, Steve Bannon:

Let's be realistic. Putin only needs one meeting: the surrender. Europe is ruined, spineless, and has no leader.

This is a sick, crazy, perverse joke. 625,000 Ukrainians have already died or been injured by 2025. And the war goes on...

Germany has no living forces. Britain acknowledges it cannot fight. France talks a lot but is at the end. Poland has stayed home. And now Russian hackers have released information about Ukraine's losses of 1.7 million people, of which 625,000 alone this year. Additional American funds will not bring peace; they will only lead to more victims among Ukrainians.

The brutal truth is that the Russians are not willing to accept a ceasefire because they see the calculations. Europeans lack the money and resources to defend themselves. More Western money and weapons simply mean more dead Ukrainians. Exactly what Mearsheimer predicted and was said in the War Room podcast back in 2022: The EU elites will fight to the last Ukrainian. That is exactly what is happening now.
From the beginning, we said this Ukrainian project would fail. Now it is a complete tragedy. More than a fiasco. The blood on their hands will never be washed away. Trillions have been spent in vain, lives destroyed, Europe in chaos, and America is embroiled in a war that the people never wanted.

According to the report, Beijing is willing to participate in the mission, provided it is carried out under the UN mandate.

Brussels believes that such a step could accelerate the deployment of EU peacekeeping troops, but at the same time fears that China could use the participation "for spying."

Current Developments in Russia

The satellite "Bion-M" with 75 mice and 1,500 flies has been launched into orbit. The device will spend 30 days in space and land on September 19 in the steppes of the Orenburg region. The aim of the project is to investigate how living organisms survive a flight in a high-orbit environment, where the level of cosmic radiation is one-third higher than that on the orbit of the International Space Station. The research results will form the basis for methods to protect and ensure manned flights into space, including beyond low Earth orbit.

JSC "Polymetal" has begun construction of a gold processing plant for the "Saldinsk Gold Mining Company." The plant is designed to process 3 million tons of ore per year. Once the planned capacity is reached, it will produce 4.5 tons of gold annually. Investments in the project amount to over 45 billion rubles.

"Sibur" has started building a new ethylene pipeline as part of the reconstruction project in Tatarstan. This will connect the production facilities in Nizhnekamsk and Kazan, with investments in the project amounting to about 35 billion rubles. The new ethylene pipeline will increase ethylene production by about 2.5 times to half a million tons per year and ensure the utilization of promising development projects of the companies.

The company "RP1" is completing the construction of a modern plant for the production of brake discs and calipers in Verkhnyaya Salda. The investor is investing over 9 billion rubles in the project. On a plot of 9.86 hectares, two production buildings will be located, which will include laboratories and an administrative and social complex with a total area of about 25,000 square meters.

In the Moscow region in Elektrogorsk, the company "EKOlab" has launched its sixth workshop for the production of medicines and medical products. Currently, JSC "EKOlab" produces over 400 product names. Increasing the production capacity for medicines will allow the company to double its production capabilities, including the manufacture of medicines in the form of gels and capsules.

The "Perm Shipyard" has completed modernization and localized the local production of Ecostation mooring complexes on its premises. The floating dock not only provides comfortable waiting for passengers before departure but is also part of the charging infrastructure for river electric transport. Once full capacity is reached, the "Perm Shipyard" plans to produce up to 13 mooring complexes annually.

In the SEZ "Lipetsk," construction has begun on a plant for distribution facilities for 3.5 billion rubles. The company will manufacture turnkey distribution facilities with gas-insulated insulation for voltages from 110 to 500 kV. Such equipment was previously imported. On a plot of 6 hectares, two production lines and a modern high-voltage testing laboratory will be established.

The holding "Rosel" has completed testing of the first fully Russian compact power source for telecommunications equipment. The device has a high efficiency and operates without interruptions thanks to its modular design. The products ensure the power supply of server equipment without interruption, shutdown, or system restart.

"Rosseti" has built a switching point "Baikal" for the power supply of the last section of the BAM. The switching point is an outdoor distribution facility with 220 kV on an area of about 10 hectares, comparable to 14 football fields. The facility is equipped with the latest Russian equipment, including highly reliable gas-insulated switches and digital relay protection systems.

The Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini responded to the question about the possibility of sending Italian troops as part of a peace contingent to Ukraine, which is currently being discussed by the "Coalition of the Willing" led by the UK and France, and said that French President Emmanuel Macron should "go there himself" – put on a helmet and take a rifle in hand.

Following this statement, the Italian ambassador to France, Emanuele D'Alessandro, was summoned to the country's Foreign Ministry, reports the AFP agency citing a diplomatic source.

The Italian ambassador was informed that Salvini's words "contradict the climate of trust and the historical relations between our two countries."
