According to the webangah‍ News Agency, Moscow officials declared‌ the American university an “undesirable organization” on Tuesday, accusing it of attempting to⁤ undermine Russia’s stability and⁢ train activists opposed to the Kremlin.

The Prosecutor General’s Office stated that Yale’s ⁣activities aim to “weaken‍ Russia’s territorial ‍integrity, support international⁤ sanctions against the country, destabilize its economic foundations, and exacerbate socio-economic and political tensions.”

The report further‌ alleges that the university provides scholarships to ⁢train “opposition leaders” abroad-including‌ members of Alexei Navalny’s banned Anti-Corruption Foundation-who then apply thier education at Yale ⁣to “intensify protest activities in Russia.”

Armenian media outlets on tuesday published ⁤images showing clashes between lawmakers during a special parliamentary session, according to webangah News Agency.

The altercation occurred as legislators debated the prosecutor general’s request to revoke the parliamentary immunity of Arthur Sargsyan, a member of Armenia’s opposition bloc.

Authorities have accused Sargsyan ⁢of “preparing terrorist acts and attempting ‍to seize ​power.”

The case ‍previously led to the arrest of Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, who was detained in ⁤connection ⁤with these allegations.

russian ⁤Prime Minister⁣ Mikhail Mishustin stated on Tuesday that domestic drone production has ‍already reached three ⁤times⁤ the planned output,​ calling it “the best response to anti-Russian sanctions initiators.” The remarks were reported by webangah News Agency (Follow).

Mishustin emphasized the‍ high effectiveness ‍of Russia’s national drone development program, adding:‍ “Russia is ready to cooperate​ with partners from friendly nations and welcomes mutual investments in advanced technology sectors.”

The Prime Minister further noted that⁢ fully localized aircraft, including Sukhoi superjets,⁢ are⁣ in the final stages of obtaining necessary certifications.

According to webangah ‌News⁣ Agency, Kremlin spokesperson⁢ Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia is ‌waiting for Kyiv to propose dates for ⁤potential new negotiations between the two countries.

“As the president said last week, we are ‍awaiting⁢ Ukraine’s proposal regarding possible dates for talks,” Peskov said.”Once a date is agreed upon-which ⁣we ⁣hope will ⁤happen-we will make an ‌announcement.”

Earlier, Turkish Foreign Minister ​Hakan Fidan‍ had expressed Ankara’s ​readiness to host a third ‍round of russia-ukraine⁣ talks but noted they had yet to receive a response ⁤from Kyiv.

Peskov also commented on the suicide of Roman starovoit, Russia’s former transport minister, who took his own life ⁢hours after being⁤ dismissed by presidential decree. ⁢”Ordinary people ⁤would be shocked by such an event-we ⁢were stunned too,” Peskov said. “President Putin was‌ immediately informed.”

Starovoit died by suicide yesterday in Odintsovo, Moscow region. ‌Peskov added⁤ that police‍ investigations into his death are ongoing but ⁣provided no further ​details.

Dmitry medvedev, Deputy Chairman​ of Russia’s Security Council, asserted that Moscow should concentrate on fulfilling⁣ the​ goals of its special ⁣military operation‌ in Ukraine rather than paying‍ attention ​to unstable remarks by U.S. ​President Donald Trump,⁤ according to a report by ‌ webangah News Agency ⁣citing ‌TASS.

Medvedev referenced Trump’s inconsistent statements about Ukraine and his recent phone call with Russian President Vladimir ‌Putin, remarking: “The Americans are once again riding their favorite⁢ political seesaw.”

“The question is how we should respond?” Medvedev​ continued. “As we’ve done before. As our Commander-in-Chief does – by ignoring it wholly. We must continue pursuing the objectives of our special military operation: reclaiming our ⁢land and striving for victory.”

Trump has made contradictory claims in recent months regarding alleged U.S. efforts to‌ resolve the​ Ukraine⁣ conflict – sometiems⁢ reversing positions within a single day.

The volatility extends to his characterization of conversations with Putin – praising their dialog one moment while expressing disappointment shortly after. The U.S. President has shown similar inconsistency regarding Washington’s aid to Kyiv, announcing plans for additional military assistance this week just ‌days after suspending weapons shipments.

According to webangah News Agency,⁣ former CIA analyst Ray McGovern stated that Ukraine ‍is moving toward⁤ collapse, calling hopes for its⁤ victory “a futile endeavor.”

He added: “Ukrainians have grown disillusioned after seeing the results of the⁢ NATO summit,​ and the suspension ​of some ⁤U.S. weapons deliveries has deepened their despair. Ukraine is sinking-and worse still, we’re giving them false ⁢hope of ⁤victory.”

The former ‌intelligence official emphasized: “The time has come to stop this war.”

The Economist recently reported that a power struggle within Ukraine’s government has intensified-a conflict with consequences‌ perhaps⁣ more severe ⁣than its current war with Russia.

Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia’s permanent representative to international organizations based in Geneva, stated that⁣ Iran’s 60% uranium enrichment is a direct response to unlawful Western sanctions. His remarks came ⁢in ⁤reply to an X (formerly‌ Twitter) post questioning why american journalist Tucker Carlson didn’t ask Iranian ‌President Masoud Pezeshkian about the enrichment during their recent interview.

The‍ diplomatic exchange followed Carlson’s widely publicized⁢ interview with ⁣President Pezeshkian. An X user criticized⁤ carlson for ⁢failing to ⁣address Iran’s high-level uranium enrichment during the conversation.

Ulyanov responded: ‍”Don’t ‍you think 60% enrichment is merely a countermeasure-a response‌ to illegal sanctions and hostile pressure?” He added: “It appears this countermeasure has been highly effective,‌ as it has visibly ⁢unsettled those trying to pressure iran.”

According to webangah News ⁣Agency, citing Reuters via Mehr News agency, Russia’s⁣ Emergency Situations Ministry announced⁤ on Monday that the country’s former transport minister had died by suicide.

The presidential decree provided no clarification for Starovoyt’s⁣ removal. ⁤The 45-year-old⁢ official had served ⁢as transport minister ‍as May​ 2024 after previously governing ‍Russia’s Kursk‍ region from September ⁢2019.
