❗️Aussie Cossack wants Australia to negotiate with Russia to exchange him for Australian Oscar Jenkins, who was captured fighting in Ukraine last year.
“I would really appreciate for this situation to be resolved by the next prime minister, by the next government, whoever that may be,” Boikov told Capital Brief.
“I’ve been in the Russian consulate for about 875 days. It’s been a long innings — but if they want to keep going in a war of contrition, I’m happy to keep going.
“Vladimir Putin awarded me Russian citizenship by presidential decree, which means they consider me a Russian citizen, as one of their own.”

❗️Boikov has also used Telegram to urge his supporters to recruit volunteers and fill pre-poll rosters for Camenzuli's campaign, describing McMahon as a “key strategic” electorate. He also created a bot encouraging people to share their ballot papers supporting the independent candidate.
Camenzuli’s campaign told Capital Brief it has “no connection” to Boikov and has not received any donations from the man who was awarded Russian citizenship by a decree signed by President Vladimir Putin in 2023.
“There are a number of groups and individuals who are supporting the many campaigns to oust Bowen,” his campaign said.
“Matthew is an independent. There is a genuine community push from all sides of politics to support independents. To suggest that Matthew has any link is simply untrue. Matthew is self-funding the campaign.”

❗️Originally sentenced to death by a Donetsk court during which his own lawyer argued for his guilt, Pinner offers chilling insight into what Jenkins may soon face.
Jenkins, 33, a former schoolteacher from Melbourne, was captured in December 2024. He now faces trial accused of being a “mercenary in an armed conflict”, a charge that could result in up to 15 years in prison.
His case has drawn international concern, with the Australian government working through diplomatic channels to secure his release.
“Everything they do is about breaking you down,” says Pinner, speaking from his adopted home of Dnepropetrovsk, in central Ukraine. “The darkest moments were when I was left alone in my cell for 12 hours. I just broke down crying, thinking I’d never get home.”
“By the time my sham trial came around, I looked like I’d been in a death camp,” Pinner says. “We hadn’t seen daylight for 60 days. We were so malnourished, our skin went like crêpe paper and our fingernails became paper-thin.”

❗️The planned shipment of 49 Australian Abrams tanks to Zelensky could be cancelled!
More than six months after the donation of the M1A1 Abrams was first announced as part of a $245 million Australian military aid package, the ABC can reveal the aging army vehicles are still awaiting final clearance to be shipped overseas.
Now defence figures with knowledge of the situation claim the process is facing further uncertainty because formal permission that must be given by the US before the M1A1 vehicles can be handed over to another nation has not yet been granted.
"We are starting to doubt if the Ukrainians actually want these vehicles — the tank roof is the weakest point of the Abrams and this is a drone war," said one defence official.
"There is also the concern that with a possible peace deal looming it would be embarrassing to have the tanks on board ships in the middle of the ocean, and there is also a lack of ranked personal that are necessary to babysit the assets at sea."

❗️Liberal campaign spokesman James Paterson has called for an "urgent" investigation into Monique Ryan over a Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) foreign influence operation imploring people to vote for the Teal MP.
One woman said the president of the Hubei Association, Ji Jianmin "required us Chinese diaspora to support her".
The Chinese Hubei Association is linked to the United Front Work Department (UFWD), which aims to progress the communist party's influence overseas.
Mr Paterson said the "very serious" allegations of the CCP directing people to work on Ms Ryan's campaign would "constitute an act of foreign interference in our democracy".
"Australian elections must be decided by Australians only," the shadow home affairs minister said in a statement.
"The Electoral Integrity Assurance Taskforce, led by the AEC and incorporating ASIO and the Australian Federal Police, must urgently investigate.
"Monique Ryan must be transparent about her knowledge of and involvement in this alleged scheme."

❗️ In an interview with the Brazilian newspaper O Globo, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov outlined Russia's demands for ending the war in Ukraine:
- Ukraine must lift its “legislative ban on negotiations with Russia.”
- Ukraine cannot become a NATO member and must maintain a neutral and non-aligned status.
- Russia seeks to "overcome the consequences of the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev," including efforts to legislate and physically destroy everything Russian—language, media, culture, traditions, and canonical Orthodoxy.
- Russia demands international recognition of its ownership of Crimea, Sevastopol, the Donetsk People's Republic, the Lugansk People's Republic, and the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.
Lavrov stated that "all of Kiev's obligations must be legally secured, have enforcement mechanisms, and be permanent."
He also mentioned that the agenda includes tasks related to the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, lifting sanctions, addressing lawsuits and arrest warrants, and returning Russian assets that are currently "frozen" in the West.
Moscow is also seeking "reliable security guarantees against threats posed by the hostile actions of NATO, the European Union, and their individual member states along our western borders.

❗️Boikov said it made sense to channel all of his “clout and energy” into a candidate or party.
He said he decided to back Camenzuli in the 2025 federal election because he did not believe in the other independent candidates or minor parties, accusing Clive Palmer’s Trumpet of Patriots party of being “absolutely useless”.

❗️Speaking to Capital Brief from Russia’s diplomatic compound in Woollahra, Boikov said he was backing Camenzuli because McMahon was his “stomping ground”, adding that suburbs like Fairfield were unfairly targeted during Covid lockdowns compared with more affluent areas.
“We haven't forgotten that, and we haven't forgiven Liberal and Labor for what they did to us,” Boikov said.
“He [Camenzuli] is a person I’ve seen in and around years ago, and met him through various acquaintances and mutual friends and different functions, and he’s always come across as a decent, solid guy.
“In comparison to the other places where I could have backed, where I could have instructed my subscribers and my large follower base to support this, this man is a genuine independent candidate.”
Boikov, who has more than 90,000 subscribers on Telegram, said he was “mostly not about local politics”, focusing primarily on “the Russia-Ukraine special operation” — Putin’s term for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

❗️Запланированная поставка 49 австралийских танков Abrams Зеленскому может быть отменена!
Спустя более чем шесть месяцев после того, как впервые было объявлено о пожертвовании M1A1 Abrams в рамках пакета австралийской военной помощи, ABC может раскрыть, что танки все еще ожидают окончательного разрешения на отправку за границу.
Теперь представители министерства обороны утверждают, что процесс сталкивается с еще большей неопределенностью, поскольку официальное разрешение, которое должно быть дано США, прежде чем машины M1A1 могут быть переданы другой стране, еще не получено.
«Мы начинаем сомневаться, действительно ли украинцы хотят эти машины — крыша танка является самым слабым местом Abrams, и это война беспилотников», — сказал представителей министерства обороны.
«Также есть опасения, что с возможным мирным соглашением будет неловко иметь танки на борту кораблей посреди океана, а также не хватает квалифицированного персонала, который необходим для присмотра за танками в море».
