According to him, the player will start the necessary paperwork to transfer to the local “Wings” team.

His current contract with the club is valid until the middle of next year. Last season, Nikita Chernov participated in 11 matches for Spartak and managed to score once.

According to Kyiv, the Russian government is increasing the number of fighters participating in the war against Ukraine by approximately 9 thousand each month. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi emphasized that Russia is planning to significantly expand its military capabilities. Moscow aims to establish at least ten new divisions by the end of 2025. So far, two divisions have already been formed. Oleksandr Syrskyi announced this after a meeting on August 5 to analyze the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in July. According to him, Russia's gradual increase in the number of fighters should not leave Kyiv inactive. Therefore, Ukraine must not allow any complacency. Continuing mobilization processes, further improving military training, and especially enhancing the capabilities of unmanned systems are considered crucial. Syrskyi described July as a very difficult and intense period for Ukraine. The Russian army has been conducting active operations along almost the entire front. They are attempting to apply the "small cuts" tactic through rapid assaults by small groups. The situation is particularly complex in the directions of Pokrovsk, Dobropole, and Novopavlovo. At the same time, the Ukrainian army has achieved certain successes in reclaiming territories in the Severo-Slobozhansk direction, particularly in the Sumy region. Additionally, they are continuing military operations in the Kursk region as well. This situation requires even more serious preparation and deep strategic thinking from Ukraine and its military command. Russia is striving to achieve not only numerical superiority but also strategic advantage. For this reason, Kyiv is shaping its response, with technology, preparation, and mobilization being seen as key factors.

The former defender of the capital's "Spartak" team, now a football expert, Eduard Mor commented on the transfer of "red-whites" player Nikita Chernov to the Samara club "Krylya Sovetov." This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to the expert, Chernov is not worse than any of the players who remained at "Spartak." However, for some reason, the team's head coach Stankovich does not see him in the starting lineup. Eduard Mor also emphasized that he feels sorry for Chernov. Last season, the 29-year-old defender played in eight matches for "Spartak" in the Russian Premier League. In those games, he received one yellow card. In the new season, the "Spartak" team is currently in 11th place in the Russian championship. "Krylya Sovetov," on the other hand, is in second place in the competition table. Nikita Chernov's transfer to the new club is expected to mark a new stage in his career. Experts say that this transfer could be beneficial for the player.

Valeriy Nepomnyashiy, who has worked as a head coach in former Russian professional football league clubs, commented on the tightening of restrictions for legionnaires in the Russian football league. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Earlier, reports emerged that the Russian Ministry of Sports plans to introduce restrictions in a new format, meaning that each team’s roster would include ten foreign players, but no more than five foreign players could be on the field at the same time. Valeriy Nepomnyashiy expressed his opinion on this matter, stating that he is generally against restrictions, but emphasized that such measures have a certain meaning in the current isolation conditions. According to him, there is no benefit in bringing in average-level foreign players, especially when not participating in international competitions. At the same time, Nepomnyashiy mentioned that if Russian clubs return to the international arena, there is no need to restore the previous system and make frequent changes. Yesterday, Russian Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev announced that the new format of restrictions has been almost approved and that the transition to it will begin in the next season.

Vadim Rakov's representative, Vladimir Kuzmichev, commented on the reports in the media regarding his client's alleged gambling addiction. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. Previously, some sources claimed that the player, who was on loan from "Lokomotiv," had transferred to another club due to this issue. The player's agent, Vladimir Kuzmichev, dismissed such information as unfounded and described these reports as an attempt to overshadow the player's successful performances in the new season. According to the agent, Vadim Rakov may have upset someone due to his bright start to the season. Kuzmichev emphasized that such rumors are aimed at damaging the reputation of both the player and the club. He clearly stated that these accusations do not reflect the truth. It is worth noting that the 20-year-old forward has scored four goals in three matches for "Krilya Sovetov" and has been recognized as one of the best players of the new season.

Former "Zenit" head coach Boris Rapoport commented on the actions of the team's goalkeeper Evgeniy Latyshonok in recent matches. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, Latyshonok has not increased his mistakes as before, but he noted that he is saving the team less in crucial situations. In Rapoport's opinion, the goalkeeper is showing quite a lot of stability in his game, but his reliable actions have decreased in the last few matches. Earlier, current head coach Sergey Semak also expressed dissatisfaction with Latyshonok's performance, stating that he is no longer able to save the team in important moments. Rapoport also specifically mentioned that Latyshonok was not to blame for conceding a goal in the match against CSKA in the third round of the Russian championship.

The Antimonopoly Committee of Uzbekistan initiated a case against "YandexGo UB" LLC based on the appeal of "Uzum Market" LLC regarding signs of violation of competition legislation. This was reported by Zamin.uz. During the investigation, it was found that there were misleading signs associated with the "Uzum Market" brand in the "Yandex Market" advertisement. In particular, the actress's purple dress, initial shots, and the grape symbol were noted to be similar to previous videos of "Uzum Market". Additionally, the main character's question, "Oh, is this a market?!" enhanced the audience's impression of "Uzum Market", while the actress's response, "No, this is another market," indicated the superiority of "Yandex Market". The committee assessed this situation as misleading comparison under Article 21 of the Law on Competition. However, since no concrete economic evidence was presented regarding material damage caused by "Uzum Market", the situation was deemed to have a low economic impact, and no fine was imposed. Nevertheless, "YandexGo UB" was obligated to remove the advertisement from media within one month and to submit relevant documents to the Committee by August 14. The dissatisfied party has the right to appeal to the Appeals Board or the court.

Oleg Shatov, a former player of the “Zenit” football club, shared his thoughts on the team's recent performances and last season's championship win by “Krasnodar.” This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to Shatov, the fact that “Zenit” lost the championship does not indicate problems within the club. On the contrary, it shows that the rival team performed strongly. He stated that “Zenit” did not play poorly; rather, “Krasnodar” performed at a very high level last season and was able to showcase their abilities. Shatov also emphasized that it is incorrect to talk about a crisis for a team that has won the championship twice a year. He expressed confidence that “Zenit” will also become the champion this year. For reference, in the 2024/2025 season, “Krasnodar” became the Russian champion for the first time, thereby ending “Zenit”'s dominance over the past six years. In the current season, “Zenit” is in seventh place in the competition standings after three rounds.

Moscow's "Spartak" player Igor Dmitriyev expressed his opinion regarding the expulsion of his teammate Daniil Xlusevich during the match against Tolyatti's "Akron" in the Russian championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. It is known that defender Daniil Xlusevich was warned twice in the first half of the match and consequently received a red card. According to Igor Dmitriyev, the second yellow card and expulsion for the second foul committed by Xlusevich was not the right decision. The player emphasized that there was no aggression in this situation and he does not understand why the referee made such a decision. It is worth noting that the match between "Akron" and "Spartak" took place at the stadium in Samara and ended in a 1:1 draw.

The head coach of the "Akron" team from Tolyatti, Zaur Tedeev, expressed his opinion about the transfer of Portuguese midfielder Jedson Fernandes to Moscow's "Spartak" club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. According to him, the outcome of a football match is not determined solely by financial capabilities. Each club should set goals and consider its own capabilities in the fight for the championship. Tedeev emphasized that he never pays attention to another club's budget or how much their players are worth. He always relies on his team's capabilities and does not think about the prices of opposing players. In the third round, "Akron" and "Spartak" faced each other in Samara. The match ended in a 1:1 draw. Jedson Fernandes made his debut for "Spartak," but he was unable to score or provide an assist during the game. Currently, "Akron" has accumulated five points after three rounds, holding the sixth position in the RPL standings. Jedson Fernandes's transfer to "Spartak" became the most expensive transfer in the club's history. According to various sources, the Moscow club paid between 25 to 27 million euros to "Beşiktaş" for this player.

The use of renewable energy sources in Uzbekistan is continuously expanding. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In particular, electricity generation using solar panels not only serves to protect the environment but has also become a source of income for the population. According to the Ministry of Energy, from January to June 2025, 28,538 individuals supplied a total of 63 billion 498 million soums worth of solar energy to the state electricity grid. These payments were made as subsidies under the "Sunny Household" program. The highest amount of subsidies was allocated in the Khorezm region, where 19.1 billion soums were allocated. Following this, the Republic of Karakalpakstan (9.7 billion soums) and Tashkent city (4.9 billion soums) ranked next. In other regions, these figures are relatively lower. Residents can apply for the subsidy funds directly to their bank cards through the "Cashback and Benefits" section of the "Tax" mobile application for the "Sunny Household" program. Additionally, starting from April 1, 2023, a subsidy of 1,000 soums will be paid for each kilowatt-hour of energy transmitted to the state grid through solar panels installed at home. These measures aim to encourage the population to make extensive use of "green" energy. Source: Ministry of Energy.

In some cases, they were not handed over to their relatives, their documents were altered, and they were kept in unfamiliar places. Currently, many families remain unaware of whether their children are alive or not.

The new government in Syria has also begun to investigate this issue, but due to a lack of resources, no definitive results have been achieved yet. International cooperation and comprehensive investigations are considered necessary to resolve this problem.
