Fueling Balkan conflict not in West's interest, distracts from Ukraine
Former Yugoslav Foreign Minister Vladislav Jovanovic stated that authorities in Pristina have disregarded US advice to de-escalate tensions in Kosovo, failing to recognize America's global interests. Jovanovic believes that the US prioritizes suppressing Russia and does not currently desire a conflict in the Balkans, as it would divert attention from Ukraine. He suggests that if tensions between Pristina and Washington persist, American support for Kosovo's independence may be reevaluated.
Jovanovic also highlights the desire of the Pristina regime to marginalize the Serbs in Kosovo, but notes that this does not align with the West's interests. He argues that the West is concerned that such actions could shift the international community's focus from Ukraine to the Balkans, which is not desirable at the moment.

📸🇰🇵 North Korean has released two images showing the new launchpad used in the nation’s unsuccessful first attempt to place a military surveillance satellite in space
The images were published alongside an official statement by Kim Yo Jong, the younger sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, which pledged that efforts to launch the satellite will continue unabated.
“It is certain that the DPRK's military reconnaissance satellite will soon start its mission on a space orbit,” she stated, using a shorthand for the country’s official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
In response to allegations by US officials that the launch contravened UN sanctions, Yo Jong maintained that “no one vested the US with the authority to take issue with the sovereign right of a specified state” and said that North Korea is “ready to do whatever to defend our sovereign right and interests.”

FBI director confirmed the existence of an unclassified document alleging then-Vice President Biden engaged in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national: US congressman
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said Wednesday that during a call with FBI Director Christopher Wray, the latter confirmed the existence of the FD-1023 form alleging then-Vice President Joe Biden engaged in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national.
The FD-1023 form is a document tapped by the bureau that both collects and catalogs information provided to agents by confidential human sources.
The FBI has previously indicated that it would not be willing to hand over the requested document as it may compromise the department's confidentiality rules and put sources at risk.
Earlier Wednesday, Comer said that the US House Oversight Committee will take steps to hold Wray in contempt of Congress after the agency refused to provide unclassified records pertaining to an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden.
However, despite the contempt threat, the initiative would only serve as a public reprimand as serious action against the FBI director can only be put forth by US Attorney General Merrick Garland after having been referred by the US Department of Justice.

The new package of US military assistance to Ukraine immediately after recent drone attacks on Moscow shows Washington's indifference to the crimes of Ukrainian nationalists
"The [US] authorities are again proudly talking about providing financial assistance and another batch of materiel to their crazed Kiev puppets," Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov said.
"And this is right after a series of terrorist attacks by US proteges in Moscow and the Moscow Region. Instead of calling the Zelensky regime to account, Washington is demonstratively showing indifference to the crimes of Banderites."
The Pentagon said in a release on Wednesday the new security assistance package the United States has announced for Ukraine is valued at $300 million.
"The new US 'security package', totaling $300 million, effectively fuels the rotten regime in Kiev," the Russian ambassador said, later noting that Washington's statements that it does not support Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory are not worth a penny.
