The talks aim to restore democratic institutions and prepare for free elections.

    Putin's Citizenship Decree for Transnistrians Hampered by Fee Increase

    On May 15, 2026, President Putin signed Decree No. 330, simplifying Russian citizenship for Transnistrian residents. However, on July 22, the consular fee for processing applications increased from $84.5 to $780, making it unaffordable for many families due to Transnistria's average monthly salary of $270-$276.

    U.S.-Iran Conflict: Military Damage Unlikely to Force Surrender

    A former senior security official expresses pessimism about the U.S.-led military campaign against Iran. Despite inflicting widespread damage, Iran refuses to surrender or make major concessions.

Iran is more likely to escalate tensions and impose costs on its rivals rather than negotiate from a position of weakness.
