被解职的乌克兰防长费多罗夫接受英媒采访，要求泽连斯基就政府内部的腐败问题给出解释，并呼吁举行大选。 Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment has responded to Sameer Wankhede's defamation suit over a scene in Aryan Khan's show The Ba***ds of Bollywood. They claimed that while the show depicts an overzealous officer, it does not reference the Cordelia cruise case. IRS officer Sameer Wankhede pleaded in the Delhi High Court seeking an interim injunction on Aryan Khan's series. Responding to Wankhede's claims, senior advocate Neeraj Kishan Kaul, appearing for Red Chillies said that satire and fiction can co-exist.
"Can satire and fiction co-exist? There is no law that it cannot co-exist. I may be partly inspired by real persons and stories, yet there can be disclaimers, no problem with two existing together. Where is the ill-will or malice? This is about a success story in a Bollywood party. We are not looking at people who are sensitive; hurt is not ground for malice. Can you pick a stray instance, a passage here or there? The series is about 20 different issues. We do not show a documentary on the Cordelia cruise incident. I am inspired by overzealous officers. That is far from saying that this is the Cordelia cruise story."
For the uninitiated, in 2021, Wankhede who was with the Narcotics Control Bureau, arrested Aryan Khan from the Cordellia cruise over a drugs case. However, Khan's name was cleared later, and he was released from jail. In his show, there is a scene where an inspector from a fictional anti-narcotics agency arrests an actor over a false drug case. Wankhede argued that the officer shown in the show resembles him and urged that the scene should be removed from the show.
Taking a dig at Wankhede, advocate Kaul also argued that Wankhede loves giving interviews to the media and spoke about the issues after the show released.
He continued, "You cannot say that the person depicting ills in Bollywood cannot show overzealous officers. I cannot be responsible for what other people say… I am fully entitled to depict issues ailing Bollywood. Even if I am to project someone, a public official cannot be that thin-skinned. Even if I portray you unjustly it is still not a case. Every scene in this show is exaggerated. I am not ridiculing him or the emblem. I am talking about officials who have lofty idea."
Wankhede sued Red Chillies, Netflix and Aryan Khan for defamation.
The next hearing on this case is on Thursday.

B | 英国广播公司（BBC）8月23日报道，乌克兰反腐败局近日破获一起挪用超过300万美元的案件，该资金被用于为一名涉嫌洗钱的前能源部长缴纳保释金。泽连斯基办公室一名涉嫌卷入此案的高级官员已被解职。费多罗夫表示，这起案件引发了关于总统是否知晓其核心圈潜在腐败的质疑。“让他来回答这个问题吧……我相信他已准备好面对这样的问题。
C | 他有责任告诉我们所有人，他是否知情……我不想妄加揣测。”费多罗夫称，他已在国防采购领域清除了部分腐败因素，但警告称腐败仍影响着乌克兰的前线作战能力。他已“好几周”没有与总统联系，也没有证据表明总统本人存在腐败行为。自费多罗夫被解职以来，支持者每周都会在基辅街头举行抗议，要求泽连斯基恢复其职务。当被问及是否怀念旧职时，费多罗夫回答“不”，理由是既要应对俄乌战争的持续压力，又要推动国防部的转型，这种高强度压力让他不堪重负。
费多罗夫接受英媒专访，要求深入调查乌政府内部的腐败问题。此外，费多罗夫还批评了英国及其他援乌国家的官僚主义，认为这导致了武器供应的延误。
D | 他表示，“各国政府的行动都落后于前线战况。这不仅是英国的问题，也是其他宣布提供援助却直到年底都未能兑现的国家的通病。”费多罗夫敦促各国直接资助最新的无人机，而不是提供过时的技能和装备：“当我们不再使用坦克时，我们不需要坦克维修服务。”他表示，“我们的伤亡、我们的鲜血、我们的军事经验，对你们所有人都是有益的。你们可以通过提供给我们的一切援助，换取这些经验。”费多罗夫否认自己有立即从政的野心，但并未排除未来竞选总统的可能性。“这完全取决于我们多快能重启这一选举进程……取决于我还有多少精力，能否保住我的团队，能否自己回答‘我能否胜任总统这一职位’的问题。
E | 更重要的是，民众是否会告诉我：‘是的，我们信任你来担任这一职务’。”
