Russian troops captured Ugledar. The fighting for this city continued for more than two years. We will discuss the situation in the southwest of the Donetsk region with the founder of CIT Ruslan Leviev. In the meantime, the Russian budget will be largely devoted to military expenses and needs. Journalist and Faridaily author Maxim Tovkaylo will tell you more about the government’s priorities. Journalist Mikhail Gurevich will talk about the attack that Israel suffered from Iran. Well, Mediazona editor Dmitry Treshchanin will share his impressions of Maxim Katz’s investigation, in which he accused the former owners of Probusinessbank of embezzling hundreds of millions of dollars, and FBK of politically protecting businessmen. And of course, the stream host Tatyana Felgenhauer will answer questions from your donations.

How to write letters to political prisoners:
The most complete list of those persecuted for political reasons can be found on the Memorial website: <a href="https://memopzk.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://memopzk.org</a> They also publish current addresses and methods of financial assistance.
If a person is not yet on Memorial’s list, it’s worth looking for support groups, for example, on Telegram. There is a telegram bot (<a href="http://@svobot_bot)" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://@svobot_bot)</a> - political prisoners and addresses for letters are collected there. For those who have not decided who to write to, the bot may give a random result.
You can send a letter in several ways - not just in a paper envelope. Many pre-trial detention centers and colonies are connected to email systems (they are then printed at the institution itself). Two main services: FSIN-letter (<a href="https://f-pismo.ru/)" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://f-pismo.ru/)</a> and Zonatelecom (<a href="https://www.zonatelecom.ru)." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.zonatelecom.ru).</a> You can also try “Rodnaya Svyaz” (<a href="https://rodnayasvyaz.ru)," target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://rodnayasvyaz.ru),</a> but it is connected to only a few regions.
In addition, a letter can be sent through the “Rosuznik” service (<a href="https://rosuznik.org)," target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://rosuznik.org),</a> this is especially true in cases where it is impossible to send an email to the region - volunteers will print the message and send a paper letter themselves. This is an activist project and relies entirely on your donations.
If the institution is not connected to any email service, and the person is not on the Rosuznik lists, the only way to contact him is to write a paper letter (it’s also worth checking whether the support group organizes the sending of letters).
Instructions on how to send letters, what you can write about, and what you shouldn’t write about, can be found here: <a href="https://youtu.be/ZyzNOjZHe6E?si=cLWiAfDRVYl8GuYu" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://youtu.be/ZyzNOjZHe6E?si=cLWiAfDRVYl8GuYu</a>
