🇰🇵🇺🇸⚡️ — North Korea rejected US demands for denuclearization and stated that it will continue to strengthen its nuclear arsenal. Pyongyang emphasized that the US "hostile policy" toward North Korea has not changed.

A North Korean foreign ministry official called US criticism of the country's human rights situation, calls for complete denuclearization, and planned military drills with South Korea and Japan evidence of Washington's "hostile approach."

Pyongyang called its nuclear weapons an "absolute guarantee" of sovereignty and stated that repeated US demands will not change North Korea's nuclear status.

North Korea also said that expecting a reduction in regional tensions is "pointless" as long as Washington adheres to its current policy, stressing that US policy toward North Korea has also not changed.

🇺🇦❌🇺🇦 — In Kiev, Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR/GUR) apparently decided to settle a score with the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) over the detention/kidnapping of the deputy of the banned Russian Volunteer Corps (RVC), Koplunov. A week ago, he was reportedly forcibly shoved into a BMW X5 and taken away, apparently by SBU personnel, given that the GUR decided in the middle of the night not only to confront them, but also to engage the SBU in a localized firefight.

Notably, not only SBU operatives were present at the scene, but also personnel from the SBU’s Special Operations Center “A”.
