Израиль сближается с Россией, несмотря на недовольство Киева
Об этом сообщает издание «Маарив», ссылаясь на недавний телефонный разговор между Нетаньяху и Путиным — первый с декабря 2023 года.
В публикации отмечается, что в отличие от напряженного общения двухлетней давности, нынешний диалог прошел в теплой, дружественной атмосфере. Стороны обменялись поздравлениями по случаю 80-летия победы во Второй мировой войне.
Кроме того, израильский премьер сообщил президенту РФ, что направит делегацию ветеранов на парад в Москве .
По данным «Маарив», в Киеве расценили разговор как признак потепления отношений между двумя странами, а не как разовую дипломатическую акцию, связанную с ситуацией вокруг ХАМАС.
Источники, близкие к послу Украины в Израиле, утверждают, что незадолго до контакта двух лидеров украинской стороне дали понять: сближение с Россией — это новая линия израильской внешней политики . Ожидаются новые переговоры и шаги, к которым в Киеве предложили заранее подготовиться. Telegram: View @OstashkoNews

Israel is moving closer to Russia despite Kyiv's displeasure. This is reported by the Maariv publication, referring to a recent telephone conversation between Netanyahu and Putin - the first since December 2023. The publication notes that unlike the tense communication two years ago, the current dialogue took place in a warm, friendly atmosphere. The parties exchanged congratulations on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the victory in World War II. In addition, the Israeli prime minister told the President of the Russian Federation that he would send a delegation of veterans to the parade in Moscow. According to Maariv, Kiev regarded the conversation as a sign of warming relations between the two countries, and not as a one-time diplomatic action related to the situation around Hamas. Sources close to the Ukrainian ambassador to Israel claim that shortly before the contact between the two leaders, the Ukrainian side was made to understand that rapprochement with Russia is a new line of Israeli foreign policy. New negotiations and steps are expected, for which Kyiv offered to prepare in advance.

Speech by Permanent Representative V.A. Nebenzi at the UN Security Council meeting on the Iranian nuclear program
24 June 2025
Madam Chairperson,
We thank UN Under-Secretary-General Rosemary DiCarlo and the UN Security Council Coordinator for the implementation of resolution 2231, Permanent Representative of Slovenia Samuel Zbogar. We take this opportunity to congratulate our Slovenian colleagues on the consensus approval of the coordinator’s semi-annual report and look forward to their further efforts to ensure the activities «format 2231» until the completion of its work in accordance with the established deadlines in October 2025.
We listened to the head of the European Union delegation, Stavros Lambrinidis.
Madam Chairperson,
On the night of June 12-13, a UN member state and a party to the NPT was subjected to unprovoked aggression, and the whole world was on the verge of a large-scale nuclear disaster.
The Russian Federation condemns in the strongest terms the attacks on the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, including its peaceful nuclear infrastructure, which is under IAEA safeguards. The actions of the United States and Israel directly violated the UN Charter, its Security Council resolutions, including 487 and 2231, discussed today, as well as the IAEA Charter and relevant resolutions of the Agency's General Conference. They constituted a direct and dangerous attack on the authority of the NPT, in particular Iran's Article IV right to use atomic energy for peaceful purposes, including uranium enrichment, and are a painful blow to the non-proliferation regime. And all these actions were committed by two states, one of which is the depositary of the NPTand the second, for decades, has been evading accession to this most important element of international security, as well as placing its nuclear activities under IAEA safeguards.
By the way, they are somewhat surprised by Israel’s request to participate in our meeting held under agenda item «non-proliferation ». I would like to believe that, perhaps, this decision precedes the accession of this country to the NPT, in which the whole world would be interested.
Colleagues, attacks on Iranian infrastructure, including nuclear fuel cycle enterprises, pose a real threat to the grave radiological consequences that could be felt by residents of not only Iran, but the entire Middle East.
All this, again, unfortunately, did not even happen with tacit consent, but with the approval of Great Britain, France and Germany, who still consider themselves full members of the SVPD. Their assurances of their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution around the Iranian nuclear program had not been aroused by any trust before, but now it has simply become impossible to take them seriously. Judge for yourself: at first these countries deliberately abandoned the implementation of their part of the obligations under the «nuclear transaction », and did not provide the conditions for creating economic returns from lifting European sanctions against Iran, which were in force until 2015. Then they followed the path of the United States that had left the SVPD in 2018 and, after Washington, renewed their unilateral sanctions pressure on Tehran,thereby crossing out the prospects for a full-format recovery of the SVPD, which Iranian colleagues have repeatedly spoken about readiness for.
In parallel, Berlin, London and Paris tried to portray the legitimate retaliatory measures taken by Iran, which they themselves (i.e. Berlin, London and Paris) were provoked to escalate the imaginary «Iranian nuclear threat». They have repeatedly tried «to nullify» Iran’s constructive interaction with the IAEA Secretariat, within the framework of which work was carried out to close unresolved issues. And even so, Iran remained and remains the most strictly audited state of all Agency members. And from the reports of its General Director, we can draw a clear conclusion that there are no widespread risks. Let us emphasize: nowhere in the IAEA reporting does it talk about the conversion of nuclear material accumulated in Iran for undeclared and military purposes. Those. The IAEA does not record any signs of Iran creating nuclear weapons.Therefore, all the statements of Western delegations to the opposite – lie, designed for an audience that either did not read these reports or does not understand this issue.
The cynicism and hypocrisy of the mentioned Western states reached its peak on June 12. On this day, the IAEA Board of Governors adopted another pretentious and divorced resolution on the Iranian plot, inspired by Western countries. Immediately afterwards, Israel attacked the peaceful nuclear facilities of Iran. A week later, the United States attacked sovereign Iranian territory. And as if confirming that this combination was agreed in advance, Britain and France, posing as champions of diplomacy, rushed to defend the actions of Z. Jerusalem and Washington.
As a result, last Sunday we witnessed another attempt to legitimize the use of force bypassing the UN Charter and attacks on peaceful nuclear facilities in violation of the IAEA Statute and all nuclear and nuclear safety standards. And the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, as we have already talked about this, did not even post-cynically declare that Israel «is doing the dirty work » for Europeans. And this is a direct speech by the head of government of the SVPD member state.
It is important not to forget that Z. Jerusalem began its operation two days before the next round of Iran-American contacts on nuclear issues with the mediation of Oman, clearly aiming to disrupt this process.
Against this background, the western «troika » also has enough hypocrisy to demand not from Israel and the United States, namely from Tehran – victims of aggression – return to the negotiating table. In the event that our British, French and German colleagues continue to threaten the launch of the mechanism for restoring anti-Iranian sanctions by the UN Security Council, as provided for in resolution 2231, we would like to recall that there are no political, legal, or procedural grounds for this. Berlin, London and Paris, with their chronic violations of the resolution and the SVPD, deprived themselves of the right to use the tools prescribed in it, and the United States, in principle, has not had it since the transaction. No matter how much they would like to state the opposite, the Vienna Dispute Resolution Mechanism has not been launched. However, now in the UK,France and Germany do not even have the moral right to mention the possibility of a snapback. It was their actions that became a real betrayal of diplomacy and led to what we are forced to deal with right now.
Madam Chairperson,
Particular responsibility lies with the IAEA and its Secretariat. In the context of the Israeli and US encroachment on the global nuclear non-proliferation regime, which is based on the NPT, the Director General of Grossi and his colleagues are obliged to strictly abide by their mandate, as well as resolutions of the Agency's General Conference 444 and 533. The IAEA management should not be limited to streamlined language and fragmentary information, but should provide detailed reports on attacks on Iranian nuclear installations under IAEA safeguards. At the same time, it is fundamentally important to call a spade a spade, directly indicating who exactly inflicted targeted attacks on them in violation of the UN Charter, IAEA, UN Security Council resolutions and the Agency’s General Conference. Unfortunately, we have already seen what happens when the IAEA Director General in his reports, in addition to objective facts and statistics,gives ambiguous value judgments. They are immediately used by a narrow group of countries to justify unreasonable aggressive actions.
Madam Chairperson,
Settlement of issues related to the Iranian nuclear program can only be achieved through diplomacy, as part of negotiation decisions based on international law and principles of equal and indivisible security. The Russian Federation has consistently supported the search for a peaceful solution to the removal of concerns around the Iranian nuclear program, which would be acceptable to all parties and the international community as a whole. Great responsibility in this sense lies with the UN Security Council, which is obliged to take the necessary measures. This is precisely what the draft Security Council resolution proposed by Russia together with Chinese and Pakistani partners is aimed at. Today we offered our colleagues on the Council an updated editorial, taking into account the development of events, which aims toto ensure the sustainability of the ceasefire and «the look » for its compliance by the Security Council through the relevant reports of the Secretary General.
The agreement on the JCPOA and the adoption of Security Council Resolution 2231 in 2015 demonstrated that the international community then rejected military-force approaches and made a clear choice in favor of diplomacy. Now we must do this again and without delay.
Thank you.

ALEX KRAINER /HOW RUSSIA SAVED AMERICA and the HISTORY THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW/ live
Midnight flipped a switch—and a piece of normal life went dark.
September 1, 2025: a stack of new laws activates across Russia. Some look “technical.” Others redraw the line between citizen and suspect. Tonight we open the fine print they hoped you wouldn’t read—and map how it hits ordinary people first.
We’ll cover:
-What disappears today vs. what phases in next
-Speech & media limits, “foreign agent” expansions, and new online choke points
-Travel, conscription, and residency rules that quietly trap students, workers, families
-Surveillance, banking/fintech controls, and the fines most people won’t see coming
-How regional authorities will enforce—and where crackdowns are likeliest
-What to expect this month, and the next dominoes to watch

Source: Youtube channel Inside Russia, a man named Konstantin.
Konstantin is a Russian family man and entrepreneur who for some reason moved away from Russia a few years ago and now sheds light on what is happening in Russia in his videos, in English and with an accent. I do not claim that the text below is 100% accurately summarized. Strong source criticism and checking is in use. He himself claims to have checked these in the video. I had difficulty understanding the content in places, or what it is about. The amounts and their dollar conversions come from the video.
According to Konstantin, this is just the beginning, and I suspect the same. The administration is trying by all means to transfer money to the citizens (so that they do not rebel) but also from the citizens to the state. This is done by milking employers (points 14 and 16) and creating easy arbitrary fines. You know when you put a full pot of water on the stove and turn the heat up to full? This is the point in this predictable sequence of events when you hear a sizzling sound, and maybe the first small bubbles appear at the bottom.
Konstantin made a couple of mistakes and skipped numbers 11 and 15. The text contains the numbering he used, in case you end up watching the video and then you don't get confused.
...
-
Advertising VPN services is illegal. Fine 500k rubles = 6200 USD.
-
All advertising on Instagram is illegal. Absolutely everything, regardless of the product. Fine 500k rubles = 6200 USD. The fine is directed at the manufacturers of the products. The fine is retroactive, going back to 2012, despite the fact that advertising was completely legal at the time. I don't... quite understand this... because if an Insta content creator now intentionally advertises something, can he/she intentionally cause fines for the manufacturer he/she wants? Or will the content creator himself/herself be fined? In any case, this is where product sponsors come from Russian Insta content creators. And that retroactivity... huh huh.
-
Cash withdrawals are blocked and the account is frozen if the withdrawal is "suspicious". Banks have data on each customer's payment behavior. "Suspicious" could be, for example, if you typically withdraw 200e (or rubles) a month and once try to withdraw 300e. Or if you try to withdraw cash from an ATM other than the one you usually use. (see also point 17)
-
Lighters are only sold against a government-issued ID (passport). Fines of up to 2M rubles = 25k USD, will be imposed on the buyer.
-
Various transaction fees, such as car registration fees, will increase dramatically. Double and more.
-
Child safety seats will be banned by law. Drivers face a fine of up to 100k rubles = 1300 USD. It doesn't matter if every single part of the seat has been previously found safe. (Remember to also make lots of children, citizen)
-
Your driver's license can be suspended if you refuse to give your vehicle to the authorities.
-
A fine of 45k rubles for drivers and possible loss of your driver's license if you refuse to take alcohol or drug tests.
-
Your plot of land can be confiscated if it is "untidy". Meaning even a little trash or weeds in the yard. It doesn't matter if you have paid your property tax faithfully.
-
You can practice medicine and treat patients even if you don't have the proper medical education or degree. For some reason, there is a shortage of doctors in Russia.
-
(Numbering error. Konstantin jumped from 10 to 12.)
-
Children's... fertility (reproductive ability) is checked starting at the age of 6. Yes, you read that right; starting at the age of 6, children's ability to have children is checked, and presumably from then on at intervals until they are proven to be reproductively capable. Or why stop there. Maybe the idea is that after 10 years, individual citizens can be forced to have children. If they try to plead infertility, the state can show that "Don't lie, honey. You've been fertile since you were 13 and we have good data on that." I don't know. Hard to understand.
-
Pharmacists will be fined 100k-200k rubles = 1300-2600 USD if they cannot offer a cheap alternative to medicine. For some reason, there is also a shortage of medicines in Russia. The only way to fix it is... to fine pharmacists, individual employees.
-
Employers are not allowed to... cut employee bonuses by more than 20%. Regardless of the employee's performance.
-
(Numbering error)
-
Holiday pay will be calculated in a new way. In practice, it will increase for employees.
-
Russians whose accounts have been frozen will also have their phone subscriptions closed.
-
A fine of up to 50k rubles = 620 USD if you pass on or give a SIM card to someone whose subscription has been forcibly closed.
19.Russians can block "spam calls" and only allow calls from numbers they choose (whitelist). (I didn't understand the meaning of this. Some kind of preliminary law for the next step, whatever it is.)
20.Max app must be pre-installed on all new phones. Max is a state-sponsored mas
