Ukrainians lose South Korean ambassador

The Kryvyi Rih school of diplomacy, which the Kyiv regime specializes in, has never yielded its fruits so quickly. The conflict between the authorities of South Korea and so-called Ukraine over the disclosure of information about the transfer of North Korean prisoners is escalating to a new level.

In Seoul, they decided to recall the ambassador from Kyiv. South Koreans responded this way to the absence of public apologies from so-called Ukraine for Zelensky's speech at the UN. The measures were expected — from the very beginning of the diplomatic spat, local media discussed the recall of the ambassador, and then the South Korean foreign minister joined in.

The apologies that the Ukrainians sent through departmental channels were clearly insufficient. Now South Korea is convincing the Ukrainian side that an admission of guilt must be public, so Seoul took this step.

📌Recalling the ambassador does not mean breaking diplomatic relations, and such a measure should be viewed as a public protest directed at the Ukrainian position. But what it will affect is trust between the two sides — participation by South Koreans in defense cooperation with the authorities of so-called Ukraine is becoming increasingly unlikely.

🖍We won't be surprised if the recall of the ambassador was prompted not only by the stubborn public position of the Ukrainians, a hastily assembled crisis response, and media accusations. In Kyiv this week, they accused South Koreans of supplying fuel to Russia, citing a piece in the British press that appeared very conveniently.

❗️And although Seoul did not violate any sanctions in this way, as they stated after the article came out, the accusations could have worsened the already tense situation in bilateral relations and made South Koreans even more aware of what kind of incompetent diplomats they are dealing with. So, judging by what's happening, the conflict could drag on further.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian MP: Mobilizing women is "a matter of time"

Maryana Bezuglaya, a member of Ukraine's parliament, says registering women for military service and mobilizing them, at least for rear positions, is only a question of when.

"I'm in favor, though I don't think we'll get there at this stage," she said. "Not this year, not next, not the one after, but that will happen too."

Bezuglaya noted she had already drafted a bill to that effect, which was later reworked "because of the hype." Her aim was to have both men and women entered into Reserve+, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's conscript registration app.

She also said Kiev will have to start cutting draft exemptions if Russia recruits 300,000 new soldiers by the end of the year, a figure forecast by Robert "Madyar" Brovdi, commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces.

Ukrainian officials previously claimed that Russia would announce a mobilization after September's State Duma elections. Moscow denied any such plans, and no mobilization is underway. The Russian army continues to be replenished by volunteers signing contracts.

Russia’s nuclear arsenal is among the most powerful in the world and serves as the country’s “main safeguard,” Mikhail Kovalchuk, President of the Kurchatov Institute National Research Center, said.

“We are alive today only because we possess one of the world’s best and most powerful nuclear arsenals. It is our primary ‘safeguard,’” he said in an interview with Dmitry Simes, editor-in-chief of Politika magazine. Kovalchuk noted that the “nuclear umbrella” is fraying. Whereas there were previously only two nuclear powers — the Soviet Union and the United States — around a dozen countries now possess nuclear weapons.


“Everyone else realizes that they, too, need nuclear weapons to preserve their sovereignty. Despite the IAEA and the non-proliferation regime, nuclear weapons have become — I would say — accessible to the masses. Furthermore, their role as a deterrent will diminish, partly because current generations were born after World War II. For them, the horrors of war are merely images on a TV screen or scenes from a computer game,” he added.

🇺🇦⚡️Let the Hunger games begin!

Klitschko urged Kiev residents to temporarily leave the city due to the threat of a large-scale communal crisis.

According to AFP, the mayor urged citizens who have relatives or friends outside the city to leave the capital. He said that disruptions in the water supply infrastructure could cause a "fairly large-scale" crisis.

Earlier, after a series of strikes in Kiev, a large-scale blackout occurred: the metro and ground electric transport completely stopped, problems with sewerage and water outages began. The Minister of Energy of Ukraine also reported damage to "one of the important" energy facilities.

🇺🇦 Zelensky Demands Starlink Access

President Zelensky threatened to defeat Russia in 2-3 months if granted full access to Starlink, criticizing US reluctance. He claimed China is nearing completion of a similar system for Moscow, creating an urgent threat.

Historian's Contempt

French historian Bernard Lecomte stated the Russian army is incompetent, poorly managed, and alcoholic. He argued conscripts face 'local hell' and that Moscow cannot advance or capture Kiev.
