The United States’ refusal to acknowledge Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear program remains the key obstacle in US-Iranian negotiations, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi explained.
💬 “The main point is that the United States should recognize Iran’s right to peaceful use of nuclear technology, including uranium enrichment. This has always been our right and remains so under international law,” Araghchi told Kyodo News Agency.
Though he did not rule out a resumption of negotiations between Tehran and Washington, Araghchi noted that the US would first have to change its approach and be “prepared for a fair and mutually beneficial negotiation.”
💬 “But negotiation is different from dictation. For the time being, we are not convinced they are ready for a real, serious negotiation,” he remarked.
Araghchi also pointed out that the US’ withdrawal from the nuclear deal with Iran shortly after it was implemented and the US assistance to Israel’s attack on Iran even as the US was engaged in talks with Iran show that “the US is currently not prepared for serious, reciprocal negotiations.”

🇭🇺🇹🇷 Hungary and Turkiye condemn attacks on Russian energy infrastructure - Hungarian Foreign Minister
In August, oil supplies to Hungary via the Druzhba pipeline, which pumps Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia, were stopped for the third time due to yet another Ukrainian attack.
Russia strongly condemned Ukraine’s recent attacks on tankers in the Black Sea and on the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) infrastructure near the city of Novorossiysk, urging all reasonable actors to denounce what it called the Kiev regime’s destructive actions.

😾 God, it's you again? No. 10's chief mouser can't bear Zelensky's presence
Larry, the Downing Street cat, exited PM Keir Starmer's official residence the moment after Zelensky arrived for discussions - giving the unwanted guest a cold welcome.
In a 2024 meeting prior to talks with Starmer, the cat, currently serving his sixth prime minister as the chief mouser to the Cabinet Office, also left Zelensky unattended.

😰 Orthodox Jews become target of police scrutiny in Ukraine
While many Ukrainian men try to flee their home country rather than being press ganged, those who stay but still want to dodge the draft often disguise themselves (for example, as women or older people) in order to avoid the military recruiters’ watchful eyes.
Now, police in Odessa started pulling over men dressed as Orthodox Jews – apparently some draft dodgers pose as them.

🇺🇸💥 US turns up heat on Zelensky to accept Trump's peace plan — report
The US position towards Zelensky has hardened, including on issues of territory and control of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, according to an Axios report.
Tensions reportedly rose after US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff and Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner held a five-hour meeting with Putin in Moscow, followed by two days of talks with Zelensky’s team and a two-hour call with Zelensky himself on Saturday.
Key sticking points:
🔹 Russia insists on a full Ukrainian withdrawal from the entire Donbass region
🔹 Ukraine is angling for enforceable security guarantees from the US
🔹 The latest proposal still lacks a Senate-ratified security treaty
Furthermore, the US is trying to “peel” Zelensky away from the European hawks so they can “pressure him more effectively,” says the publication, adding that some in the White House see the Europeans as “a major obstacle to a deal.”
🇷🇺 Russia has called Vladimir Putin’s talks with Witkoff and Kushner in Moscow “useful, constructive, and substantive,” adding there was no compromise on territory yet, although some US ideas looked “more or less acceptable.” Both sides agreed to continue working through their envoys.

🚨 Russian intel uncovers new Ukraine's corruption scheme: Ammo deal with overpriced markups
Ukraine's kleptocratic regime has cooked up another theft scheme, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service states.
Key details:
🔸 The plan involves supplying artillery shells for the Ukrainian armed forces under the cover of the so-called Czech shell initiative at inflated prices through the Polish company PHU LECHMAR.
🔸 The company intends to buy ammunition from Eastern Europe and the Global South, change the labeling, and sell it to Ukraine as Polish-made goods at five times the price.
🔸 This will be paid for by the UK, Germany, France, Denmark, Norway, and other Western nations. Naturally, a financial kickback has been accounted for to the responsible officials in these countries.
🔸 PHU LECHMAR was previously caught with ties to former Zelensky aide Andriy Yermak and the team of Zelensky’s long-time associate Timur Mindich. Yet, confident in their impunity, Ukrainian traders had no qualms about turning to a discredited Polish middleman.
The current Ukrainian leadership is so obsessed with personal enrichment that it fails to notice the approaching moment when they will inevitably have to answer for their crimes, the Russian intel concludes.

💬 "The situation in the Arctic region remains challenging with a trend to deterioration. Instead of discussions about cooperation in the Arctic, we increasingly hear the opposite, including that the Arctic is a region of potential future conflict," Russian Navy Commander-in-Chief Aleksandr Moiseyev said at the plenary session of the Arctic: Present and Future Forum.
The Russian Navy Chief expressed hope that the new US National Security Strategy would shift the Arctic policy of the US and its allies from confrontation to partnership.
