Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is no longer among the three most trusted leaders in the country, according to a new survey published by the Ratings group.

According to the survey conducted on July 20 and 21, 2026, the leader most trusted by Ukrainians turns out to be the former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, with 70 percent support.

In second place is Mykhailo Fedorov with 65 percent, while in third place is Kyrylo Budanov with 62 percent. Zelensky is in fourth place with 59 percent of citizens' trust.

The biggest increase in this ranking was marked by Mykhailo Fedorov, whose level of trust has increased from 35 percent to 65 percent in just one week.

Meanwhile, trust in the head of the Ukrainian army, Oleksandr Syrskyi, has suffered a significant decline, dropping from 39 percent to 23 percent.

The survey results show significant changes in the Ukrainian public's perception of the country's leading political and military figures, at a time when Ukraine continues to confront Russian aggression. /Telegraph/

The meeting between US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in the Philippines ended without any visible rapprochement between the two sides.

After brief talks, which lasted only about 35 minutes, Moscow and Washington issued conflicting statements about the results of the meeting.

Lavrov stated that Russia wants to return to what he called "the spirit of the Anchorage agreements," calling for continued diplomatic efforts based on previous discussions.

"We want to return to the Anchorage agreements," Lavrov said after the meeting.

On the other hand, Rubio assessed that the Anchorage talks did not yield results and that the parties should seek new approaches to resolving the conflict.

"The talks in Anchorage failed. The parties need to look for new ideas to resolve the conflict. Do you think we resolved the war in 30 minutes of our conversation in Asia? That's not how it works," Rubio declared.

The “Anchorage Agreement” is not a signed official peace agreement or a recognized international treaty.

The term usually refers to talks held in Anchorage, Alaska, between representatives of Russia and the United States, where issues related to the war in Ukraine and relations between the two countries were discussed.

The meeting in the Philippines once again showed the deep differences between Russia and the United States, despite efforts to keep diplomatic channels open. /Telegraph

The house where Adolf Hitler was born in the Austrian town of Braunau am Inn has been officially converted into a police station, in an effort to prevent the building from becoming a pilgrimage site for neo-Nazis.

After years of debate over the future of this historic building, the Austrian government decided that the facility should be used by the police, aiming to remove any symbolism that could be associated with the glorification of the Nazi dictator.

In this building, in April 1889, Adolf Hitler, the leader of Nazi Germany, responsible for starting World War II and the Holocaust, where about six million Jews were killed, was born, Reuters writes.

Austria bought the property after a long legal battle and then began a renovation that cost around 20 million euros. The aim was to change the appearance and function of the building so that it would not serve as a gathering point for far-right sympathizers.

Austrian Interior Minister Gerhard Karner said the use of the facility by police represents the rule of law and democracy, contrary to the legacy of the Nazi regime.

A memorial stone from the Mauthausen concentration camp remains outside the building, with the message "Never again fascism," as a reminder of the victims of Nazism.

However, the decision has also sparked debate. Some critics argue that transforming the building into a police station could obscure its historical significance, while others see it as a way to remove any possibility of it being used as a symbol by extremists. /Telegraph/

The Ukrainian military carried out drone attacks on several Russian regions last night.

According to reports from local residents, published by Russian channels on Telegram, targets in several cities were hit, including an oil refinery and logistics center, writes Kyiv Independent.

Following reports of a drone attack, a large fire broke out at the NS-Oil refinery in the settlement of Novospasskoye, in the Russian Ulyanovsk region.

It is a relatively small refinery, about 650 kilometers from the Russian-Ukrainian border, which produces mainly petroleum derivatives and has an annual processing capacity of about 600 thousand tons of crude oil. The exact extent of the damage is not yet known.

Kiev considers oil industry facilities to be legitimate military targets, arguing that they supply fuel and provide funding for Russian military operations.

Ukrainian attacks on oil infrastructure have increased pressure on the Kremlin and deepened Russia's fuel supply crisis.

The situation has led to a ban on exports, price increases and restrictions on fuel sales in various parts of the country, while residents from various regions continue to report waiting for hours at gas stations. /Telegraph/

At least two CIA facilities in the Middle East were hit by Iranian drone attacks in March.

Some of the sources told Reuters that other CIA facilities were also hit, but did not provide further details.

Testifying yesterday before a US Senate committee in Washington, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth hinted that Russia is assisting Iran's military operations.

Asked whether Russia and China are helping Iran, Hegseth replied: "There are ways in which both of these countries, at different levels, are enabling what Iran is doing, yes." /Telegraph
