00:00:31The largest drone attack in Yaroslavl, one of the
00:00:35largest Russian refineries is on fire in the city. In Tver, another Wildberries warehouse was damaged. And in the Kyiv region, after
00:00:39a massive Russian strike,
00:00:42today is a day of mourning. In Moscow, Lieutenant General
00:00:46Igor Ierusalimov was secretly buried. He could have been a victim of the explosion in a restaurant in Moscow last
00:00:49Saturday. Then at least five people died, dozens of people
00:00:53were injured. The target of the assassination attempt could have been the Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces, Alexander
00:00:57Chaiko, but nothing is known about his condition so far.
00:01:20Slavneftyanas refinery. Videos of the explosion in the city, filmed by local
00:01:23residents, are published by Telegram channels Astro and Exile Nova Plus. The
00:01:27Osint analysis of Astra confirms that the refinery is on fire, as well as another
00:01:31unidentified object.
00:02:00largest refineries in Russia, it processes about 15
00:02:03million tons of oil per year. At night, the governor of the region, Mikhail Evraev,
00:02:06wrote about the drone danger. The authorities blocked the exit from the city in the
00:02:10direction of Moscow. Evraev called the attack the most massive during the entire
00:02:14full-scale war. He claims that all 88 drones were
00:02:18destroyed. However, he does not explain why the refinery
00:02:21caught fire.
00:02:23There are no casualties or injuries. A private house burned down, windows were shattered in several
00:02:26apartment buildings, there is damage to personal transport of
00:02:30residents of the region. Compensation will be provided to all
00:02:33affected. Also this morning, after the attack of Ukrainian Armed Forces drones,
00:02:37a fire started in the village of Palkina near the door. Eyewitnesses
00:02:41published photos and videos of the fire in the private residential sector. Earlier,
00:02:44local Telegram channels reported buzzing explosions, and
00:02:47unofficial monitoring channels reported drone arrivals. The Acting
00:02:51Governor of the region, Vitaly Korolyov, announced the repulsion of a drone attack
00:02:55by air defense forces. As a result of falling debris, the facade of the logic
00:02:59was slightly damaged.
00:03:04- Korolyov reported. Today in the Kyiv region, mourning was declared for those killed due to the massive
00:03:08Russian strike. Yesterday, Ukrainian authorities reported that 16 people died
00:03:11and 36 were injured in shelling near Kyiv. In
00:03:15particular, eight people died and three were injured at a railway station
00:03:19near the city of Brovary, where they were waiting for a train. I remind you that on the
00:03:22night of Wednesday, the Russian army launched 28 missiles
00:03:26at Kyiv and the region, none of which were shot down. Advisor to the Ukrainian President.
00:03:30Serhiy Beskrestnov stated that Russia can launch about 100
00:03:33ballistic missiles at Ukrainian cities every month. According to him, the Russian military
00:03:37uses open information about the location of Ukrainian warehouses and
00:03:40intelligence data from recruited Ukrainians to adjust strikes.
00:03:44Beskrestnov urged businesses to diversify risks and restructure
00:03:47logistics. Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that supplies of air defense missiles from partners in
00:03:51the first half of 2026 decreased threefold compared
00:03:54to the same period last year. According to the Ukrainian president,
00:03:58partners have missiles, and he also suggested that by not supplying
00:04:01Ukraine with ammunition, Kyiv is being pressured.
00:04:04pressure.
00:04:06Their involvement in the Middle East was minimized,
00:04:10but nevertheless in previous
00:04:13years they gave Ukraine anti-ballistic missiles,
00:04:17primarily to fill our Patriots and
00:04:20others. Air defense systems, I don't know
00:04:24if there are other reasons besides the Middle East,
00:04:27maybe these are political steps to make Ukraine more, let's say,
00:04:31compliant, yes,
00:04:34in my opinion, it is not without this, yes, we
00:04:38understand that this is a serious
00:04:42challenge, and regarding the supply of Patriot missiles, our correspondent in
00:04:44Washington spoke with American Senator, Republican Rick
00:04:48Scott.
00:04:49Ukrainians are concerned that
00:04:53production has been delayed, the president has made it
00:04:55clear that he is ready to provide Ukraine with licenses.
00:04:59Ukraine weapons that it
00:05:12needs, when it needs them. In
00:05:15Moscow, Lieutenant General Igor Ierusalimov was buried, he could have been a victim of
00:05:19the explosion in the Balzerossi restaurant on Kudrinskaya Square last
00:05:23Saturday. This was reported by the chat of the Moscow district Solntsevo, where
00:05:26Ierusalimov lived. Ukrainian osint blogger Necromancers drew
00:05:29attention to this message. Ierusalimov was 53 years old,
00:05:32Putin promoted him to the rank of Lieutenant General in May
00:05:362025. On Wednesday, the Telegram channel VCHK OGPU, associated with
00:05:38Russian security forces, reported that in Moscow, at the Troekurovskoye cemetery, the funeral of an unknown
00:05:42major general, who may have died in the explosion at the
00:05:46celebration of the fifty-fifth birthday of the Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces, Alexander
00:05:49Chaiko, took place under conditions of secrecy. There is no confirmation of this
00:05:52information. I remind you that as a result of the explosion in the Balzerossi restaurant,
00:05:56five people died. A courier girl who delivered a package with an explosive
00:05:59device, a guard who turned out to be an FSO employee, as well as Chaiko's son-in-law
00:06:02Daniil Peredriy. The death of the latter is confirmed by
00:06:06data from state registers, Peredriy was the husband of
00:06:09Chaiko's daughter Maria, who, according to media reports, received serious injuries during
00:06:12the explosion. The condition of the Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces, Alexander Chaiko,
00:06:16is carefully concealed. The identity of two other deceased
00:06:19has not been disclosed. I would add that on
00:06:22Tuesday evening, an attempt was made on the life of the General Director of Ural Dronzad, Vladimir
00:06:26Tkachuk, in the Serlov region. This factory produces FPV drones
00:06:30Upyr. According to the newspaper Kommersant, Tkachuk was wounded in the car
00:06:33explosion. He is in extremely serious condition. His driver
00:06:36died.
00:06:38all parties consolidated around
00:06:42the elections, support for the special military operation, we all support our
00:06:46army, you were given the opportunity to participate in the elections, and how do you
00:06:49behave? I read regularly that with
00:06:52foreign media, with foreign tools in
00:06:55social networks, is this right? Well, how can you stab the army
00:06:59and the people in the back? True patriotism lies in
00:07:02stopping the death of people, that's right, but
00:07:05after, after victory, and if you don't
00:07:08want victory, then
00:07:11you help the enemy.
00:07:15This is a member of the Communist Party of Russia, urging the leader of the Yabloko Party
00:07:18to support the war against Ukraine. The latter listens and replies that
00:07:22true patriotism lies in stopping the death of people.
00:07:26On July 29, the Yabloko Party was registered to participate in the
00:07:29September elections to the State Duma of Russia. On this wave, Yabloko
00:07:32for the first time in a year bypassed United Russia in popularity on the
00:07:36Internet, notes the publication 7:7, referring to Google
00:07:39Trends data. The number of search queries for the word.
00:08:23The Yabloko party positions itself as anti-war, the only one with
00:08:27such a position in Russia after Boris Nadezhdin left the country. At the head of its list are little-known
00:08:30regional politicians, since some of its media members were subjected to
00:08:34pressure, criminal prosecution and lost the opportunity to
00:08:37be elected. The head of Fair Russia Mironov.
00:08:40was indignant that a party that openly opposes the war with Ukraine
00:08:43was allowed to participate in the elections and wrote a public denunciation
00:08:47of it. to the State Duma goes a party that openly
00:08:51opposes the special military operation, promises to conclude a shameful peace for the country,
00:08:55supports foreign agents, and this is in the fifth year of the war, when our guys
00:08:59and civilians are dying at the hands of the criminal Kyiv regime.
00:09:03I urge the Ministry of Justice and the Prosecutor General's Office to carefully examine the
00:09:06Yabloko party and its leaders and to give a legal assessment of their
00:09:09actions. But Yabloko is criticized not only by
00:09:13the Communists, Fair Russia. Earlier, the FBK
00:09:15accused the party of cooperating with the Russian authorities, of Yabloko
00:09:19playing into the hands of the Kremlin and only imitating opposition. In
00:09:22Ukraine, Yabloko recalls that the main emphasis this party places
00:09:26is on a ceasefire, not on restoring the territorial integrity of
00:09:30Ukraine. On Wednesday, the Russian Central Election Commission held a lottery,
00:09:33determining the parties' places on the electoral ballot. Yabloko is in second
00:09:37place, United Russia came in first.
00:09:40That's right, you didn't even rotate it,
00:09:44actually. Why did you decide not to rotate
00:09:47the al-Atron? Because all the numbers that remained suit
00:09:51me, well done, and
00:09:54especially since I pulled out what we wanted, because the real choice in the elections is either United
00:09:57Russia or Yabloko, our number two,
00:10:01oh, number two, how did
00:10:04the draw go, who is first, second, third, you
00:10:07know, everything is honest, a transparent drum.
00:10:10Putin himself, like the ruling
00:10:34United Russia party, continues to see declining ratings. A sociological
00:10:37study by Navalny's team recently showed that 25% of
00:10:41Russians would not vote for United Russia under any
00:10:45circumstances. This is a record anti-rating among all
00:10:48parties. More on why and how the Russian president is criticized and ridiculed on
00:10:51social networks. In one week, Vladimir Putin's approval rating
00:11:03fell by 5%, and the lower the approval rating, the
00:11:06more videos like this are on the Internet, as they say, I know it's connected, but
00:11:10I can't prove it, or can I? Do you even realize that without
00:11:13Putin in Russia there would be war, all the riches would have been
00:11:17plundered, you would be jailed for any wrong word.
00:11:20Vladimir Putin is great!
00:11:23The rating began to fall at the beginning of the year
00:11:26along with a new wave of internet blockades. In the spring, a new
00:11:30problem arose: regular drone attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on
00:11:33regions, and the numbers finally plummeted after the attacks on
00:11:36refineries, which led to a gasoline crisis. But since
00:11:40openly criticizing the government in Russia is dangerous, people have found
00:11:44alternative ways to express dissatisfaction.
00:11:47In May, sociologists even changed
00:12:03their methodology and began surveying people not only by phone, but also
00:12:07by personally visiting apartments. Putin's ratings
00:12:10jumped for a couple of weeks, then continued to fall, but last
00:12:13week they unexpectedly started to rise
00:12:17again. I believe that these are fabricated figures. As we
00:12:20can see, Putin is doing everything to
00:12:22ensure that his rating decreases, what needs to be done
00:12:26to prevent this, either shut Putin up so that
00:12:30he doesn't say things that worsen his
00:12:33situation, I don't know, or remove him, for example,
00:12:37yes, but since he is, in fact, their boss, they can
00:12:41do neither, how good
00:12:44it is,
00:12:45why I will vote for United Russia in these
00:12:49elections, let's go, it's clear, I love movement, when it's boring.
00:12:52When there is some stagnation, you want movement,
00:12:56agreed. Kirill Martynov, editor-in-chief of Novaya
00:12:59Gazeta Europe. On our air. Kirill, good morning. Good
00:13:03morning. The CEC suddenly registered Yabloko for the State Duma
00:13:07elections. After the persecution of many members of this party, this decision was not
00:13:11obvious. Why did they allow it, what do you think?
00:13:14Well, I think we should start by saying that I think
00:13:16they made a mistake, both the Presidential Administration and the CEC, which carried out its
00:13:20orders. They made a mistake, and I think they have already
00:13:23started to realize that
00:13:27a month of campaigning for peace, which
00:13:30was suddenly legally allowed in Russia, all these years it was
00:13:34forbidden, this is an extremely dangerous trend, because
00:13:37no one knows what will come of it, that is, it is unlikely to be
00:13:41an upsetting election, when United
00:13:45Russia, with all its resources and the ability to falsify,
00:13:49would suddenly lose these elections, but the consolidation of people for
00:13:52absolutely normal words for peace and freedom... it can still
00:13:56happen, and it will be very ugly for those who
00:13:59arranged all this. The presidential administration, of course,
00:14:03thought that they, well, they are playing such old pre-war
00:14:06games, they think that they can skillfully
00:14:10manipulate all voters and all
00:14:13participants in these elections, and Yabloko was supposed to help them with this
00:14:17functionally, well, and they will still strive for this,
00:14:20however, it seems to me that if everything goes in such a
00:14:23dynamic as we see now in the first week after registration,
00:14:26then most likely the management of the elections will be taken over
00:14:30by the Russian special services, they will begin to act with their methods,
00:14:33taking additional hostages, threatening deputies, members
00:14:37of their families, well, and so on down the list, that is, candidates for
00:14:41deputies, why is there such a technology from
00:14:45old times, and
00:14:49it is necessary to show, first of all, that, well, that the people...
00:14:51are very united and that the Yabloko party gets
00:14:551% of the votes in any elections, we have one
00:14:58party that is for peace, it received in
00:15:012021, when there was no big war yet,
00:15:05a little more than 1%, now
00:15:08it needs to be brought into the same framework, maybe a little
00:15:12higher, up to 3%, but certainly not more, that these are such
00:15:16marginals, well, everyone knows that in Russia there are anti-war people,
00:15:19people who advocate for a normal peaceful life, so they are insignificant. became
00:15:23the second faction in the State Duma, because this
00:15:51will also be a sign that there is
00:15:55a visible, stable, at least
00:15:58minority electorate for normalization, and according to social surveys, this is generally
00:16:02the majority, according to social surveys, the majority of people support
00:16:05the agenda of returning to normal life
00:16:09as soon as possible, let's say through some victory for Russia, whatever
00:16:12that means, because talking about something else is dangerous, but
00:16:16nevertheless, and accordingly it is necessary to split
00:16:19such an electorate, which advocates for a return to
00:16:23normal life, between more cautious people who understand that if
00:16:26they vote for new people, then it's
00:16:30like voting, on the one hand, for a party that has
00:16:33working relations with Putin, but at the same time it's not United Russia and...
00:16:37they are not the main cannibals in this previous composition of the State Duma, well,
00:16:41that's how it's perceived, at least, the radical minority
00:16:44that always gets its 1%, and
00:16:47it's clear that in reality all the other people support Putin's
00:16:51war, but this is a very risky tactic, I repeat, because
00:16:54because, as they used to say about Nadezhdin, Yabloko began to swell,
00:16:57this is because of this mistake, as you say, we are now hearing
00:17:01statements from Mironov, the communists,
00:17:05this is just the beginning of this campaign, pressure on Yabloko will increase, I
00:17:11am afraid that, unfortunately, they believe that the authorities in a broad sense
00:17:15of the word, it is clear that Sergey Mironov decides nothing and has no influence from
00:17:18Fair Russia, he is formally a competitor to Yabloko, in fact
00:17:22Fair Russia has just lost all its agenda, they have no
00:17:25voters, and it is completely unclear why one should vote for Fair Russia, what they
00:17:29generally carry, except that they, well, support
00:17:33all of Putin's decisions,
00:17:36well, that is, when it's already for United Russia, you can just as well
00:17:40vote and be happy, who this, who this suits, but I do not
00:17:44advise anyone to do that, of course, well, I think that
00:17:47look what happened, for example, in Yabloko there is a suspended
00:17:51young candidate, a young deputy, former, yes, suspended, in the sense that his
00:17:55life situation is such that if you behave badly, we will punish
00:17:58him more severely, Maxim Kruglov, his
00:18:02sentence for his anti-war statements is 7 years, this is a former...
00:18:05deputy of the Moscow City Duma, one of
00:18:09the leaders of the Yabloko faction in Moscow, one of the young people
00:18:12who made a career in such a democratic party in these difficult
00:18:16decades, well, his sentence
00:18:20has not yet entered into force, this is obviously
00:18:22one of the clearest cases of hostage-taking, another case is
00:18:26Lev Shlosberg, who is also waiting for new
00:18:29sentences, new criminal cases are constantly appearing, these are only the most
00:18:33visible cases of how Yabloko... will try to
00:18:37control during these elections, because
00:18:40ultimately, if Yabloko behaves badly, the number
00:18:43of hostages may increase sharply during this campaign, there are a month and a half
00:18:47left, a little less, and after the elections end,
00:18:50yes, that is, this is generally a very dangerous,
00:18:54a dangerous political gesture that
00:18:57Yabloko made, seemingly with the approval of the authorities, but
00:19:00at the same time, the tension is growing, that's
00:19:04for peace does not mean against war, such criticism of
00:19:38all the words that can be said there, can be said by people who
00:19:41are in emigration under criminal prosecution, but
00:19:44I will just draw your attention to the fact that , for example, Yabloko is
00:19:47the only party running in these elections that does not
00:19:51campaign in the occupied territories, including Crimea,
00:19:55I think that critics of Yabloko should acknowledge that this is
00:19:58quite a big, big responsibility for Yabloko to do this,
00:20:02because this is, well,
00:20:04a risky, risky step, if you try to campaign in Russia,
00:20:08you are generally showing your attitude towards the borders of the Russian
00:20:11Federation. Kirill, just one word answer,
00:20:15what do you think are the chances that Yabloko will overcome the five-percent barrier,
00:20:19if it is not removed from the elections? I
00:20:21believe that if the trend continues as it is now,
00:20:25then it will be quite difficult for the authorities to draw figures below
00:20:285%, they may cope with this task, but it will not be an easy
00:20:32drawing. Thank you very much, Kirill Martynov, editor-in-chief of Novaya
00:20:35Gazeta Europe was the guest.
00:20:50on residential areas of the city, houses, cars and
00:20:53shops were damaged, 12 people were injured. The Russian army strikes at
00:20:56Sumy every day with guided bombs, drones and
00:21:00missiles. The city is only 30 km from the Russian-Ukrainian
00:21:03border. According to the Ukrainian military, Moscow's goal is to create a
00:21:07buffer zone in the Sumy region. Our correspondent Andrey
00:21:10Kuzakov will tell us if the Russian military is succeeding in realizing Putin's plans.
00:21:13In a car without windows.
00:21:19At this time, Nazar, call sign
00:21:52"Taxi Driver", carefully watches the sky, a Russian Kamikaze drone can
00:21:55appear at any moment.
00:21:58Closer to the front line, there are more and more
00:22:02destroyed houses, burned equipment along the roads. We drove into
00:22:06the twenty-kilometer border zone in the Sumy
00:22:09region, which, judging by the statements of government representatives in
00:22:12Russia, they have been trying to turn into a buffer zone
00:22:16for more than a year. Russian drones attack everything that
00:22:52falls into the field of view of their pilots, but the priority is
00:22:55transport. They carry cumulative
00:22:59shells, because they are designed to hit
00:23:02equipment, suddenly an air
00:23:06alert, the sky, guys, plus-plus,
00:23:09somewhere approaching,
00:23:15got it, that's it, hiding.
00:23:19At the neighboring post,
00:23:29shooting,
00:23:30they shoot down
00:23:33a drone, despite constant attacks,
00:23:36Russian troops in the Sumy region are unable to advance deep
00:23:39into Ukrainian territory, say Ukrainian military, all attacks
00:23:43are repelled, but the Russian army constantly storms
00:23:46the border zone. during this time that we have been working in this
00:24:22direction, well, we have not had
00:24:25any dead, well, at our posts,
00:24:29due to shelling in this settlement, there are only
00:24:33a couple of inhabited yards, a week ago there was one more, but
00:24:37the man who lived there became a victim of
00:24:41artillery shelling, he was feeding
00:24:43dogs there, an artillery shell arrived.
00:24:47with my husband. Andrey
00:26:32Kuzakov, Vasily Martynchenko, Current
00:26:35Time.
00:26:36Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin criticized
00:26:40supporters of the idea of shifting the Russian economy to a war footing, answering a
00:26:44question from the CEO of TASS state agency about whether money should be spent on
00:26:47decorating the city and infrastructure projects at a time when the country is waging
00:26:51war. If there is no economy itself, peaceful
00:26:54life, there will be no taxes, there will be no
00:26:58income for the population, the political situation
00:27:01will be completely different,
00:27:04then we will not achieve success in
00:27:07war, to kill
00:27:10life, to kill a normal economy, is to kill the country entirely,
00:27:13therefore such useless worthless talks,
00:27:17which are said by people who do not understand how modern
00:27:20economy is conducted, modern war, modern war
00:27:24is waged on two fronts, it is directly the hot
00:27:27front and the second is a healthy, stable economy of
00:27:31the country. This interview fragment was shown on the
00:27:35Vesti program on the Russia-1 TV channel. I remind you that the Moscow mayor

00:27:42elections.
00:27:45In July, three Russian business magazines at once. Glavbukh, Rossiyskiy Nalogovy
00:27:48Kuryer and biznes.ru published detailed instructions on maintaining military
00:27:52records during mobilization, the Insider publication noted. These
00:27:56magazines are published for accountants, HR specialists and company executives.

00:28:13September 2022, the day after the decree on the start of
00:28:16mobilization. Interestingly, usually these magazines explain to readers already
00:28:20issued laws, whereas now the authorities have not yet adopted
00:28:24new laws on mobilization, however, since spring, the Prosecutor General's Office has been introducing a
00:28:28higher level of responsibility for employers for maintaining military
00:28:32records. Control over which will transfer from military enlistment offices to the prosecutor's office.
00:28:36Insider calls the release of these articles an indirect sign of preparation for
00:28:39mobilization, like the appearance of 2,500 vacancies from
00:28:42employers in the field of mobilization training, military registration and
00:28:45mobilization department. Most of these vacancies appeared last

00:29:18KN-24 missiles. Russia is already using
00:29:21these types of missiles. In late July, according to Ukrainian authorities, one
00:29:25of them hit a residential building in Radushnoye near Kryvyi Rih. A large family
00:29:28of 10 people died. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga stated that
00:29:32North Korean launchers will become a legitimate target for Kyiv.
