And this has more impact than you think. The story of Radomsky and Capilna sounds to me as a soft case if breaching the law. OK, it was illegal, but 24 out of 25 foreigners had permits, and the one missing was allowed to do marketing, but did something else. What i mean is, there are thousands of cases by foreigners far more illegal, and they stay below the surface, because as you stated "...someone found something wrong or is an injured party" has to ring the bell. Other, much more illegal and criminal businesses are led by people who know how to stay out of the spotlights. The police should search for these cases.

The Kremlin is instead betting that Washington will eventually pressure Kyiv into making the concessions Moscow has so far refused to consider. Moscow pins hopes on Washington The Financial Times reports that Russian negotiators have told US counterparts the path to any peace deal runs through Washington, not Kyiv. The message is clear: the White House must persuade Ukraine to accept major concessions before the Kremlin will seriously engage. One Moscow-based source involved in back-channel discussions described the Russian calculation bluntly, saying many in the Kremlin believe the United States will ultimately "give Ukraine" to Russia. According to the source, Moscow has shown no willingness to soften its own demands or signal any readiness to compromise. No breakthrough before summer ends Senior Ukrainian officials involved in the diplomatic process told the newspaper they do not expect US-mediated trilateral talks to resume before the end of the summer. Even then, expectations for progress remain low. The report suggests Russia's negotiating position has barely shifted since the full-scale invasion began. Officials say the Kremlin continues to repeat its original objectives, leaving virtually no common ground for substantive negotiations. Putin digs in despite battlefield pressure The Financial Times' Moscow source believes meaningful peace talks are unlikely before February 2027 because President Vladimir Putin remains committed to achieving his maximum military and political goals. Rather than being pushed towards compromise by Ukraine's expanding long-range strikes inside Russian territory, Putin has publicly hardened his rhetoric. He continues to insist Russia is winning the war and that its strategic objectives remain within reach. High-stakes gamble risks prolonging conflict The Kremlin's strategy places enormous weight on political developments in Washington while signalling little urgency to end the conflict. If Moscow continues to reject concessions and Kyiv refuses to accept Russian terms, the diplomatic deadlock could stretch well into next year and beyond. For Ukraine, the prospect raises the likelihood of a prolonged war of attrition, with military pressure and international political calculations continuing to shape the battlefield long before any genuine peace negotiations begin.

While the aircraft remain in Russia for now, their eventual delivery could reshape the military balance across the Middle East. Iran's ageing air force nears a turning point According to Military Watch Magazine, the first 20 Su-35 fighters have been built and are awaiting transfer to Iran. Leaked documents from late 2025 suggest Tehran ordered a total of 48 aircraft, although the initial batch has yet to leave Russian territory. Iran's air force still relies heavily on ageing US-built fighters acquired before the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Decades of sanctions and spare parts shortages have forced engineering teams to keep increasingly obsolete aircraft operational, creating a constant maintenance burden. Air base damage slows delivery plans The transfer could face short-term delays after reports of infrastructure damage at Hamadan Air Base. Repairs are reportedly needed before the new fighters can be safely deployed, with Tehran continuing to cover maintenance costs while the aircraft remain in Russia. Despite the delay, the programme signals a major upgrade in Iran's air combat capabilities after years of relying on ageing equipment. Moscow accelerates fighter production Russia is also expanding production to meet growing demand. United Aircraft Corporation director Vadim Badekha confirmed in May 2025 that manufacturing capacity was increasing, with factories under pressure to deliver more aircraft. The decision to prioritise export orders is expected to reduce the number of new Su-35s available for Russia's own air force in the coming years, highlighting the Kremlin's willingness to support key strategic partners. Regional stakes rise despite sanctions The Su-35 is capable of flying nearly 1,000 miles and operating from relatively short, basic runways, giving Iran a far greater ability to project military power across the region. Reports from June also claimed Tehran has ordered 12 Su-30SM2 fighters and is exploring the purchase of fifth-generation stealth aircraft by 2030. The production surge comes despite extensive Western sanctions. A 2025 investigation cited by the Kyiv Post found that crashed Russian aircraft contained hundreds of Western-made electronic components, with researchers alleging Moscow continues to acquire restricted technology through shell companies. 20 Russian fighter jets reportedly ready for IranMon, 06 Jul 2026 08:32:42 +0000Not enough, that number needs to be doubled or tripled.
