🔴 Hegseth Denies ‘Betrayal’ of Ukraine

Told that it would be seen as a “reward for dictators”, the US defence secretary told reporters as he arrived at a Nato summit in Brussels: “That is your language, not mine. Certainly not a betrayal.”

“There is no betrayal there. There is a recognition that the whole world and the US is invested and interested in peace, a negotiated peace, as President Trump has said, stopping the killing.”

🎯 China Offers Peace Summit - Without Ukraine

Beijing is looking to play a key role in the Russia-Ukraine peace process, offering to host a summit between Trump and Putin, the WSJ reported.

China would also hope to facilitate peacekeeping efforts following any truce – but the offer has been met with scepticism in the US and Europe given Moscow and Beijing’s deepening ties.

😳 JUST IN: Zelensky Imposes Sanctions on Former President Petro Poroshenko

"The National Security and Defence Council has just adopted an unconstitutional, politically motivated decision to introduce sanctions against me, Petro Poroshenko as the leader of the opposition and the fifth president," Poroshenko said in a video statement.

Targeting opposition leaders… straight out of the Biden book of presidential repression.

🇺🇦 Poroshenko’s Supporters Block Rada Podium Over Sanctions Targeting Oligarchs and Resources

Supporters of former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko blocked the Rada’s podium in protest against new sanctions imposed by Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council (NSDC). They held signs reading “No to political repression” and “No to dictatorship.” MPs reported that the session was closed afterward.

The sanctions target not only Poroshenko but also businessman Ihor Kolomoisky, his partner Gennadiy Bogolyubov, ex-MP Viktor Medvedchuk, and oligarch Kostyantyn Zhevago. According to Forbes, citing a source in the ruling Servant of the People party, Poroshenko and Medvedchuk were likely included for political reasons.

However, the sanctions against Kolomoisky, Bogolyubov, and Zhevago appear tied to efforts to seize resource licenses ahead of a potential deal with U.S. companies. Kolomoisky and Bogolyubov control the world’s largest manganese ore deposits in the Nikopol Basin (Dnepropetrovsk region), while Zhevago owns one of Ukraine’s largest iron ore sites, the Poltava Mining and Processing Plant.
