Forcing nuclear disarmament in current conditions unrealistic - Russian Foreign Ministry

"We believe that forcing nuclear disarmament when the principle of equal and indivisible security is ignored, is unrealistic, if not destructive," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin said.

He also added that Russia believes that the UN should play a central role in a multipolar world that will coordinate and bring together the positions of various players.

As Vershinin noted, the world community today is facing "unprecedented challenges" that require collective solutions.

Literally no one wants to buy Zelensky's villa in Italy

Vladimir Zelensky's villa in the Italian town of Forte dei Marmi was put up for sale, but no buyer was found, a local real estate agency told Sputnik.

"The villa is standing. Once it was for sale, but now it is not, it is not for sale," the agency's interlocutors said.

In September 2021, a villa in Tuscany owned by Zelensky's family was put up for sale for 4.5 million euros. A year later, local mass media wrote that the villa had been rented to a Russian couple living in London. Estate agents called the report a fake and said in a commentary that the owners of the house had made it impossible to rent it to Russians.

How do the world's countries react?

◻️ The US is meanwhile sending number of additional troops to the Middle East "out of an abundance of caution," with President Joe Biden saying that Washington is working “to de-escalate” the situation.

◻️ Speaking to CNN, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian specifically stressed the need “to prevent the ongoing criminal acts being committed by Israel” and “not allow for Lebanon to become another Gaza at the hands of Israel.” He added that Hezbollah “cannot stand alone against a country that is being defended, supported and supplied” by the West and the US.

◻️ Other world leaders struck the same tone, with Jordan’s King Abdullah II affirming his country’s “absolute support for Lebanon, […] and the safety of its citizens in the face of Israel’s war on it.”

◻️ UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, in turn, urged Israel and Hezbollah to stop fighting immediately as world leaders meet at a UN General Assembly session in New York.

◻️ During the gathering, France requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to address the strikes in Lebanon, per French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot.

US nuclear sub not welcome on Korean peninsula, warns North Korean leader’s sister

The recent appearance of the latest nuclear submarine at the Busan Operational Base - its first public display since it's commissioning in 2020 - can hardly be described as a 'cruise’, said Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

She lashed out at what she called "the US ambition to often take up nuclear strategic assets, boast of its strength, increase its threat to the rival and 'enjoy' its hegemonic privilege by dint of its malicious strength at any cost is getting ever more extreme," according to the KCNA news agency.

💬 "The US strategic assets will never find their resting place in the region of the Korean peninsula. We will continue to inform that all the ports and military bases in South Korea are not safe places", Kim Yo Jong said.

"The US is by no means a ‘pronoun of security'", the North Korean leader’s sister stated.
