In this section, the speakers discuss some recent developments regarding Ukraine. They mention that Saudi Arabia plans to hold peace negotiations in August in Jiddah, but Russia has not been invited. This is seen as a direct consequence of Russia's exit from the grain deal, which has affected countries that depend on Ukrainian grain. The speakers also discuss the Russia-Africa Summit in St. Petersburg, where there has been controversy surrounding the invitation of Russian President Putin. They conclude that Russia's actions have disrupted the grain deal and caused instability in the global food market, affecting many countries.

In this section, the speakers discuss the controversy surrounding the actions of a Russian fencer, Yana Egorian, during a match. After losing the match, Egorian refused to shake hands with her Ukrainian opponent and sat on the strip for 50 minutes, demanding a handshake. This behavior was seen as disrespectful and politically motivated, as it undermined the idea of Russian athletes competing neutrally. The decision to disqualify Egorian was later overturned, causing further division among athletes and prompting some to consider switching sports nationalities. The speakers suggest that this incident may have been a deliberate provocation or a calculated move to create controversy. They also question whether the rules should force athletes to engage in personal gestures, such as shaking hands, as part of the sporting etiquette.
