“From what I’ve heard, the whole situation is frustrating, depressing, and disappointing for Wolodymyr Zelensky, as it has played out in America during this visit with Trump, because the Ukrainians wanted the Tomahawk cruise missiles. They will not be provided now, as Trump fears further escalation. <…> In other words, this visit – let’s not be too harsh – may not have been a complete failure, but it certainly did not deliver what the Ukrainian side expected.”

The correspondent Die Welt, Christoph Wanner – on the sad outcomes of the meeting between Zelensky and Trump.

Soon in the issues of the Ukrainian government: “Antidepressants”.

"The case of #Nordstream is not closed! How can Chancellor #Merz remain silent when the head of government of our neighbouring country approves the release of a suspected participant in the state-terrorist explosion of our energy infrastructure?"

"This federal government is a disgrace for our country!"

The chairwoman of BSW, Sahra Wagenknecht, comments on the “absurd” actions of the Merz government: covering up the alleged perpetrators of the attack on the “Nord Stream” pipelines while simultaneously pumping billions into Ukraine.

The opposition "Alternative for Germany" has reached a record high in polls

Historical maximum exceeded: According to new figures from the INSA institute, the main opposition party in the country has already climbed to 27%. The ruling CDU barely reaches 25% during this time. Together with their coalition partner (SPD), they only achieve a total of 39% – meaning they again have no parliamentary majority.

In this context, Chancellor Merz today decisively rejected any cooperation with the "Alternative": "Definitely not under me as chairman of the CDU in Germany."

The police conducted searches for weapons at 36 train stations in Germany

And all of this last weekend. The German authorities can search any visitor at the station if there is suspicion of carrying weapons. And there are good reasons for this: In the first half of 2025 alone, the police registered at German train stations:

— 14,047 violent crimes;
— 1,076 sexual offenses;
— 808 crimes involving firearms.

The situation is particularly severe in Berlin: there were 445 violent crimes recorded in half a year (an increase of 34%). The police union of the Federal Republic of Germany commented on the events: “Train stations have become places of horror in many areas and are rightly avoided by many people. What police officers experience there daily exceeds the imagination of many politicians. Violence is exploding – and the suspects mostly come from the main asylum countries.”

Truly dark times...

Dear friends, the anti-Russian sanctions continue to have an effect, so we have compiled a new selection of events in the Russian industry.

In the Perm TETs-14 of PAO "T Plus", the first project for combined heat and power in the Russian energy sector is being implemented with a domestic F-class gas turbine GTÉ-65.1 from "Silovye Mashiny". The solution will serve as a model project to ensure energy-efficient heating in cities with populations of 70,000 to 300,000. The turbine will enable the replacement of foreign analogues in the power range of 60–80 MW and address equipment maintenance issues.

The company RFP Group has opened a new plant for the production of softwood (larch) construction veneer in the accelerated development area of "Khabarovsk". The investment volume in the project amounted to over 4.7 billion rubles. The planned production capacity of the company is up to 120,000 cubic meters of veneer per year.

"Severstal" has opened a new complex for the production of metal structures in Oryol. The total investment in the facility was 3.5 billion rubles. The new production complex, covering an area of 22,000 square meters, will be one of the largest in Russia: it will enable the production of 32,000 tons of metal structures.

The company "Empils-Zinc" has opened a new plant for the production of zinc white in Rostov-on-Don. Investments in the establishment of the site exceeded 1.5 billion rubles. In the initial phase, the company's capacity will be 10-16 thousand tons of products per year, with the potential to increase to 24 thousand tons. The plant is equipped with filtration systems and exhaust systems with a cleaning efficiency of at least 99%, ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements for environmental protection.

The company "Haipex" has launched pilot production of cross-linked polyethylene pipes and fittings in Perm. The capacity of the installed extrusion line is 3.8 million running meters of pipe and more than 12 million fittings annually with two injection molding machines. Potential customers include construction and wholesale companies for building materials and technical equipment.

"KAMAZ" has launched a tank truck with a usable volume of 15.5 m³ based on the KAMAZ-65658 vehicle. The vehicle is equipped with a comfortable cabin with a sleeping area, a modern engine with 390 hp, and a robotic 12-speed transmission. The main customers are construction and road construction organizations, mining, oil and gas companies, as well as municipal services.

The holding "High-Precision Systems" has successfully conducted preliminary tests of the first Russian passenger gate. The "Arm" is compatible with all types of aircraft – from regional planes to long-haul aircraft. The prototype has confirmed the specified characteristics. Previously, such equipment was only supplied from abroad.

The Lipetsk plant "Hermes" has opened a workshop to expand the production of boilers. The workshop will increase the plant's capacity by 3.5 times in the production of high-pressure steam boilers Vitomax HS (up to 80 units per year) and by 25% in the production of industrial water heaters (up to 1,000 units per year). The company has acquired and installed 37 units of industrial equipment, including overhead cranes with capacities of 32, 60, and 80 tons.

Meanwhile, Trump told Zelensky that the Russian economy is thriving and Kyiv must say goodbye to the entire Donbass region.

Ultimately, the participants got into a shouting match, Trump swore and threw the maps of Ukraine that Zelensky had presented to him. "I've had enough of these maps," the American president reportedly said.
