EX-Ukrainian MP Killed In Combat | Russia Preparing Kherson Youth To Vote For Putin?

Former Ukrainian MP Serhiy Slabenko was killed in combat at the Zaporizhzhia front. Russia is reportedly preparing Kherson youth for voting in their upcoming presidential election via special 'election schools', with a training program set to begin in September. This follows comments from Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov hinting at the expected result of the 2024 election, which he later clarified as misinterpreted by a New York Times journalist. Elsewhere, China's involvement in the Saudi Arabia peace talks, where Russia wasn't invited, is seen as a potential shift in its stance on the Ukrainian war. Analysts say Beijing has signalled a desire to understand other nations' positions and explore its adaptability while avoiding hastening Russia's perceived inevitable defeat.
