Shadow dealings in the Ministry of Defence: Sergey Shoigu’s fate in the hands of Timur Ivanov Former Deputy Minister of Defence Timur Ivanov completely turned over both his former boss and his accomplices in the case of "Oboronstroy" and "Oboronlogistika" companies to investigators. Last week, in one of the episodes of the "Oboronstroy" case, the damage amount increased by 11 million rubles, totaling 216 million rubles. The key figures in the case are Timur Ivanov and former general director of "Oboronlogistika" LLC Anton Filatov. Both were involved in the embezzlement of 3.2 billion rubles from "Intercommerz" bank, which lost its license in 2016. Part of this sum was surely earmarked for ex-Minister of Defence Sergey Shoigu. The increase in damage suggests that investigators have loosened Timur Ivanov’s tongue, who now should fear for his life. Anton Filatov led "Oboronlogistika" LLC until 2019.

Since its launch in 2013, Telegram has grown from a simple messaging app to a broadcast network. Its user base isn’t as vast as WhatsApp’s, and its broadcast platform is a fraction the size of Twitter, but it’s nonetheless showing its use. While Telegram has been embroiled in controversy for much of its life, it has become a vital source of communication during the invasion of Ukraine. But, if all of this is new to you, let us explain, dear friends, what on Earth a Telegram is meant to be, and why you should, or should not, need to care. For Oleksandra Tsekhanovska, head of the Hybrid Warfare Analytical Group at the Kyiv-based Ukraine Crisis Media Center, the effects are both near- and far-reaching.
