Putin came to the funeral of his closest friend, with whom they had been friends since their KGB service days
Sergey Ivanov died on June 26 at the age of 73 for officially “undisclosed” reasons. In the early 2000s, he was considered one of the main potential successors to Putin.
However, in February 2026, he was suddenly removed from all state positions.
Visegrad24 recently published an article about their long friendship in the KGB, as well as how Ivanov’s son avoided responsibility for a fatal car accident.

Vladimir Putin and Sergey Lavrov have recently affirmed that in its proxy war against Russia, the West has crossed the point of no return. NATO has abandoned its last diplomatic pretenses and is now preparing for a permanent, expanded conflict. Russia, Putin emphasized, is ready.
Ursula von der Leyen, President of the EU, said, “Europe is in a fight with Russia, a fight for freedom and independence… Europe must fight because Ukraine’s freedom is Europe’s freedom…” And… “If we don’t stop Russia in #Ukraine, they’re coming for us…”
At the G7, the Europeans were railroading Trump back into the war. The Kiev Independent, quoting a senior Ukrainian official, reported that “Trump had privately given Zelensky the greenlight to act more boldly against Russia…”
So, here we go again, another round of “Art of Deal Chaos,” or will it be the “Guns of August,” as Western leaders, shackled to the incompetent, irrational, and violent Volodymyr #Zelensky, sleepwalk us into WW III.

When Iran’s supreme leader is hidden and reachable only through couriers, that’s not strength. It’s regime paranoia. U.S. intelligence watches these cracks because unstable enemies can make dangerous decisions fast. #Iran #CIA #NatSec
