❓🇷🇚- Retired FSB Major General Igor Laptev was found deceased with a gunshot wound at his residence in Moscow.

Russian media reports present conflicting accounts regarding the cause of death, with some outlets suggesting suicide and others alleging assassination by the SBU; however, official authorities have not yet confirmed the specific circumstances surrounding his death.

ðŸ‡ĻðŸ‡Ķ❌🇚ðŸ‡ļ - Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has been one of the few Western leaders willing to push back against Trump's tariff, making Canada among the biggest targets of Trump's coercive trade measure.

The trade row between Ottawa and Washington just took on a different dimension as Trump heads for the midterm election with elevated inflation and a rapidly declining Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Canada exports over 4 million barrels of crude per day to the US, accounting for over 50% of US total crude import and over 25% of the US crude consumption.

ðŸ‡Ū🇷🇚ðŸ‡ļðŸ‡ļðŸ‡Ķ⚡ïļ â€” Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf:
We've received numerous messages from neighboring countries about shaping new security arrangements and economic cooperation in the region.

The United States put the security of every single one of its allies at such risk through bullying and pure disregard for their interests for the sake of Israel that they briefly saw their entire existence on the line.

A homegrown, independent order is what will actually deliver peace and security.

⚡ïļðŸ‡°ðŸ‡·ðŸšĒ – South Korea is testing for the first time the Northern Sea Route, sending the 'PanStar Acro' commercial vessel to test the viability of the route.

The journey is expected to last 40–45 days, cutting 10 days and 7,000 kilometers off from the traditional route through the Suez Canal, while at the same time avoiding a region now plagued by uncertainty.

President Lee Jae Myung prioritizes this initiative to establish the city of Busan as a global maritime hub, predicting the Arctic will be a regular trade route by 2030.
