A top aide to Cyprus' president, Charalambos Charalambous, resigned after a video surfaced suggesting he offered political influence for cash. President Nikos Christodoulides accepted the resignation, calling it an act of self-confidence. Charalambous claimed the video was manipulated and aimed to distort the truth. The video also alleged that Christodoulides took illegal donations for his campaign and suggested the government would block EU sanctions against Russian oligarchs. Cypriot authorities labeled the video as a disinformation attack, and opposition parties criticized the government for corruption. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
