In Germany, serious problems have arisen in the field of intelligence and security over the past year. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to Martina Rozenberg, head of the military counterintelligence service MAD, espionage and sabotage activities by Russian intelligence services have significantly increased. This situation is causing concern not only for official Berlin but also for the entire European security system. As Rozenberg emphasized, new and aggressive methods are being widely used by Russia in espionage and hybrid measures. They are combining classic methods known from the Cold War with the latest technologies to enhance their activities. This process is manifested in areas such as espionage against Germany's military facilities, infrastructure, and supply lines, spreading disinformation, organizing cyberattacks, conducting electronic warfare, and using drones for reconnaissance. The head of counterintelligence also reported that the number of such activities has doubled compared to last year. Russian agents often enter Germany through third countries. They are trying to establish new reliable connections and gather information through citizens of Russian descent, ethnic German repatriates, or individuals connected to Russia. One important aspect is the increase in attempts by Russia to influence individuals with dual citizenship or German military personnel. In particular, cases of pressure and coercion to cooperate are rising when they travel to Russia or its allied countries. This is being assessed as a new threat to Germany's security. Experts believe that such hybrid actions and espionage attempts will deal a serious blow to the European security system. The German counterintelligence service calls on citizens and military personnel to exercise caution, strictly adhere to security protocols, and protect themselves from such threats. In conclusion, the security situation in Germany has become more complicated due to Russian espionage activities and hybrid attacks. This is creating new challenges and tests for the country in both domestic and foreign policy.

The Security Service of Ukraine has added Russian performer Nikolay Baskov to the official wanted list. This was reported by Upl.uz. This information has been published in the organization's registry, where his status is indicated as "a person hiding from pre-trial investigation authorities." According to the published documents, Baskov has been charged under Part 2 of Article 110 of the Ukrainian Criminal Code. This article refers to crimes related to the repeated or premeditated violation of the state's territorial integrity and inviolability by a group. It is known that the process of announcing the wanted status began in March 2022, which is more than three years ago. The main reason for the criminal case is indicated as Nikolay Baskov's multiple statements supporting military actions since February 2022. The artist's words have been assessed by Ukrainian law enforcement agencies as justifying the violation of state sovereignty and calling for changes to state borders. It is worth noting that this is not the only sanction imposed on Baskov by Kyiv. In 2024, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky revoked the title of "People's Artist of Ukraine" awarded to Nikolay Baskov by his decree. This honorary title was awarded to the artist in 2004, and he held this title for twenty years. The decision to revoke the title is related to the artist's current position regarding the ongoing conflict. As of July 19, 2025, Nikolay Baskov continues his concert activities in Russian territory and has not commented on his status in the Ukrainian wanted list. The title of "People's Artist of Ukraine" is a direct successor to the title of "People's Artist of the Ukrainian SSR," established in 1922. Many post-Soviet countries, including Russia and Uzbekistan, have retained such honorary titles in the arts as a system inherited from the Soviet Union.

Former "Zenit" striker and football expert Aleksey Gasilin commented on the possibility of central defender Valentin Paltsev from Makhachkala "Dinamo" moving to Moscow "Spartak". This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to the expert, currently "Spartak" has a reliable pair in central defense, and head coach Stankovich has great confidence in them.
