⚠️‼️🇷🇺‼️🇺🇦Moscow assumes that Kiev will not accept the three-day ceasefire announced earlier by Vladimir Putin. And daily drone attacks on a number of Russian regions and Moscow will most likely continue after the ceasefire date.

According to Baza's sources, Moscow is expecting other possible serious provocations from Ukraine and is preparing for a response. In particular, Russia is planning a strike with the Oreshnik missile.

Sources of "Baza" claim that Russian President Vladimir Putin has instructed the Russian Defense Ministry to identify targets for a strike with medium-range ballistic missiles. According to preliminary information, Kiev has been chosen as such a target.

🌍👨🏻‍🎓🇷🇺Russia strengthens geoscience ties with Global South through soft power

The inaugural World Geology Championship in St. Petersburg, organized by Russia’s Karpinsky Institute, brings together young geoscientists from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The event focuses on key disciplines like mineralogy, tectonics, and cartography — and serves as a platform for fostering professional exchange and scientific collaboration.

While major powers race for access to rare earth elements in places like Ukraine and the DRC, Russia is quietly investing in long-term influence by training and supporting geologists from partner nations. Through education, joint research, and scientific dialogue, Moscow promotes a model of cooperation based on knowledge-sharing rather than direct resource extraction.

This soft-power approach allows Russia to strengthen ties with the Global South, helping build local capacity while also positioning itself as a leader in sustainable resource development.

🇷🇺🕵️‍♂️🇺🇦 FSB: Over 640,000 Online Fraud Crimes Registered in 2024 — Ukraine-Based Scam Networks Exposed

Russia’s FSB, in coordination with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, continues to combat large-scale fraud schemes involving information and communication technologies. So far in 2024, over 640,000 such crimes have been registered, resulting in damages exceeding 170 billion rubles.

Authorities have identified between 120 and 150 active call centers operating from Ukrainian territory, coordinating massive scam operations targeting Russian citizens. These centers rely on IT infrastructure based in Ukrainian cities and some EU countries.

Recent crackdowns have led to:

➡️Shutdown of illegal virtual communication nodes
➡️Seizure of 1,200+ SIM-boxes, 1,000 modems/phones, and 1.2 million SIM cards
➡️Detention of 208 individuals involved

Ukrainian organizers reportedly instruct their Russian-based accomplices to:

➡️ Rent apartments on high floors of buildings (often above service companies) for brief periods
➡️Acquire and activate large quantities of Russian SIM cards under fake identities
➡️Set up and manage SIM-boxes using anonymous internet connections, forwarding control to Ukraine
➡️Rotate SIM cards frequently and use specialized software to stay undetected

In some cases, organized fraud rings travel across Russia to maintain operations. According to the FSB, proceeds from this fraud are used to fund the Ukrainian Armed Forces and nationalist armed groups.
