❗️South Korean President Lee Jae-myung has warned of further action against Ukraine if Kiev refuses to acknowledge the alleged confidentiality agreement over the transfer of two North Korean POWs and issue a public apology.
Lee accused Ukraine of making him look like a “liar.” Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called the dispute a “diplomatic misunderstanding” and said Seoul remains an important partner.
South Korean intelligence also suspects Zelenskyy may have revealed the POW transfer to encourage South Korean public support for supplying weapons to Ukraine.

"We have never been traitors. In the initial days of the conflict, I explicitly stated that we will never allow anyone to shoot Russians in the back,"declared Alexander Lukashenko, during a meeting with Mikhail Mishustin, Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, and the heads of government of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) countries.
The President emphasized that Minsk will maintain this stance, irrespective of the response from the West:
"We uphold this position and will continue to do so, regardless of the personal cost of making such a statement. While the West may criticize us, we will always stand with our brotherly people,"
he stressed.

❗️Poland’s Defense Ministry is preparing legislation that would introduce a “pre-war” defense-readiness phase before the formal declaration of martial law.
The proposed law would allow Polish and allied forces to be deployed earlier, integrate national defense plans with NATO systems, and prepare critical infrastructure for a higher state of readiness.
Warsaw says the measures are aimed at responding to hybrid threats, cyberattacks and disinformation.

❗️SATURDAY TELEGRAPH: Ukrainians outraged after NSW rezoning plan boosts Russian Consulate land value by an extra $30 million
Ukrainians and local community members in Sydney are expressing deep anger over the NSW Minns Labor Government’s draft rezoning plans for the Edgecliff-Woollahra area.
The proposed precinct-wide planning changes, designed to help meet National Housing Accord targets by enabling high-rise housing developments, could deliver a massive, unearned financial windfall to the Russian Federation according to the Saturday Telegraph.
The Russian Consulate in Woollahra owns a 2,258 sqm double block on Fullerton Street. Under current planning controls (Floor Space Ratio / FSR of 1.55:1), the site's market value is estimated between $28 million and $35 million. However, draft rezoning proposals would lift the FSR to 3:1 and allow building height limits to increase from 8 storeys to approximately 14 storeys. This would increase the allowable Gross Floor Area (GFA) to 6,774 sqm, boosting the site's potential value to $54 million – $67 million - a potential land value uplift of up to $30 million.
Ukrainian Council of NSW President Andrew Mencinsky expressed shock and outrage, stating, "Putin’s Russia should be sanctioned, not rewarded. The consulate site must be explicitly removed from this rezoning".
Woollahra Mayor Sarah Dixson slammed the NSW government, asserting: "I don't think our Ukrainian community will be grateful for the Minns government's enrichment of Vladimir Putin and his Russian government".
NSW Government Stance: Planning Minister Paul Scully ruled out state intervention if the Russian Federation decides to cash in, emphasizing that planning assessments are conducted based on land ownership rather than geopolitical considerations: "The Minns Labor government does not consider planning assessments on the basis of land ownership. The proposed rezoning of Woollahra is aimed at unlocking new housing opportunities...".
While Moscow does not currently intend to sell the site former Consul General Arzhaev and former Ambassador Pavlovsky had explored the idea in a series of meetings with Sydney developers in 2024.
While the Russian Consulate site sits on a potential goldmine, neighboring property owners in Woollahra have actively submitted Development Applications (DAs) to build high-value residential unit blocks.
Under former Consul General Igor Arzhaev, a DA approval was sought by neighbour, Woollahra-based lawyer, and corporate adviser Charles Mendel for an imposing block of units directly overlooking consulate grounds.
Surprisingly, the Russian Consulate failed to challenge or block this DA according to open source information on Woollahra council's website.
Sources indicate that Consul General Arzhaev shared a personal friendship with Mendel, leaving open the question of whether the lack of objection was a deliberate favor or an oversight.
The new Consul General of the Russian Federation in Sydney Zarina Gabieva is expected—and strongly urged—to move swiftly in seeking legal counsel to safeguard the consulate's security and privacy. With statutory deadlines for Development Application (DA) objections fast approaching, immediate action is critical to halt neighboring apartment developments that would directly overlook the secure diplomatic compound—a crucial window of opportunity that her predecessor, former Consul General Igor Arzhaev, regrettably failed to utilize."
