Venezuela has resumed oil exports to Israel, marking the first shipment since mid-2020.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia's Telegram Block Abandoned Due to Military Reliance
Russia's attempt to block Telegram, pushing citizens to state-controlled apps, has been reportedly abandoned.
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov pointed out the similarity to Iran's failed censorship strategy eight years ago.
Iranians continue using Telegram despite bans, bypassing censorship to maintain free speech.
Andrey Medvedev, Deputy General Director of VGTRK (the nation's 2nd biggest state-owned TV channel), notes the army's reliance on Telegram for communication and reconnaissance.
Blocking Telegram would be inopportune given its influence in Ukraine and the former USSR.
