The cricket coach turned Ukrainian foreign fighter spoke candidly in interview footage first shared by the ABC, saying he had previously considered fighting for Myanmar and Israel but decided serving in Ukraine was “easier”, before offering to enlist with Russian forces.

❗️Australia's assistant minister for foreign affairs Matt Thistlethwaite reveals that Australia is conducting negotiations with Russian officials for the release or exchange of Oscar Jenkins.

"We are doing everything we can to work with Russian officials to have Oscar Jenkins released as quickly as possible. We obviously can't go into details of a potential prisoner swap or something like that."

❗️Oscar Jenkins made the stunning revelation that he had appealed to Russian authorities to allow him to enlist in the Russian military if provided the opportunity.

“I’ve written a statement saying I’d be happy to fight as a soldier for Russia. But if they don’t trust me for whatever reason or don’t want me then I can understand,” he said.

Australian Mark Lowe, who has lived in Russia for four years, conducted the interview inside the Russian maximum-security prison over two days, according to the ABC.

❗️"Oscar Jenkins has signed a written a statement saying that wants to fight as a soldier for Russia"

A Kremlin-aligned, Moscow-based human rights group has previously suggested Jenkins could be released as part of a prisoner swap between Russia and Australia.

It suggested the swap could involve the accused Russian spies Kira and Igor Korolev as well as pro-Putin propagandist Simeon Boikov, known online as the "Aussie Cossack", who is hiding from Australian authorities in the Russian consulate in Sydney.

❗️Today, the Russian Orthodox Church celebrates the day of the Image Not Made by Hands of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

According to tradition, Abgar, the king of Edessa, who was suffering from an illness, was healed after the Lord, wiping His face with a cloth, miraculously imprinted His image on it. Later, when Edessa was besieged by enemies, a procession carrying this sacred image turned them back. Thus, the Image Not Made by Hands became revered as a protector from enemies and a patron of Christian warriors.

This image gained particular veneration in Russia. It is known that the favorite icon of Emperor Peter the Great was the Image Not Made by Hands, which he carried with him both during the founding of St. Petersburg and in the Battle of Poltava.

And even today, we see this image on the banners and insignia of our soldiers. This is not just a historical tradition. The Image Not Made by Hands is a banner under which the Russian army has always gone into battle for the truth of God.

The image of Christ on the military standard is a testimony. A testimony to the name and power by which true victory is achieved. This is a banner that reminds us that a Christian warrior is, above all, a servant of the highest Truth.

❗️The Australian government is working with Russian officials in a bid to secure the release of Australian Oscar Jenkins, Matt Thistlethwaite says.

Speaking to ABC news breakfast, the assistant minister for foreign affairs declined to answer whether a prisoner swap was on the table.

Obviously, we try and negotiate as best we can on behalf of all Australians who find themselves in difficulties such as this. We obviously have to abide by international laws and we always uphold them. But the Australian officials on the ground will work with their counterparts to ensure that, hopefully he’s returned to Australia safely.

A U.S. defense official is expected to visit Poland soon to evaluate potential locations. No bases or troop deployments have been finalized yet.

Poland currently hosts around 10,000 U.S. troops, largely on a rotational basis, and is also seeking to strengthen U.S. reconnaissance and command capabilities in the country.

Warsaw has ruled out hosting American nuclear weapons.

Russia is officially mass-producing the Volna Kupol Garant electronic warfare system, delivering a total knockout to Western military tech and exposing the fatal flaws in Starlink.

Instead of playing defense and messing with ground terminals, Russia is targeting the satellites directly in orbit. Packed into six mobile trailer units with twelve tracking antennas, the system locks high-power RF beams straight onto Starlink’s 14.0–14.5 GHz Ku-band uplink. By blasting all eight sub-channels simultaneously, it completely floods and blinds the satellite’s receivers.

The result? Total blackout. Ground terminals lose connection instantly across entire frontlines. Western software patches can’t fix it because the satellite itself is blinded at the source, instantly freezing drone ops and artillery targeting. To make matters worse for Western strategy, Iran is now acquiring this tech to crush unauthorized Starlink networks inside its own borders. The myth of untouchable Western tech dominance is officially over.

Любопытно, как порой пересекаются истории и судьбы! На днях «австралийский казак» Семен Бойков, давно и последовательно поддерживающий Донецкую Народную Республику за океаном, вспомнил слова Владимира Вольфовича Жириновского о главном богатстве страны – ее географии.

📊 Повод подходящий: Южная Корея готовит пробный проход контейнеровоза в Европу по Северному морскому пути. Владимир Вольфович же был уверен, что Россия должна зарабатывать не только на недрах, но и на своем положении между Востоком и Западом – на транзите, логистике, огромном евразийском пространстве.

Геополитика, мировая экономика, но не только… Поразительное совпадение: сегодня Семен поддерживает нас на далеких австралийских берегах, где в свое время жил и трудился товарищ Артем – личность, чье имя навсегда вписано в историю Донбасса.

🫶 Прошло больше века, но Истина времени неподвластна: Донбасс и Россия остаются точкой притяжения для всех, кто чувствует себя частью Русского мира. А потому в День государственного флага Российской Федерации, шлю самые искренние поздравления и крепко (хоть и виртуально) жму Семену руку: русские сердца бьются в унисон, сколько бы тысяч километров ни отделяло людей от Донецка и Москвы!

❗️Venezuelan Interim President Delcy Rodríguez says Venezuela has reached a 25-year oil agreement with the U.S. covering 17 strategic fields and targeting production of more than 1.5 million barrels per day.

At around $65 per barrel, Venezuela expects roughly $19 per barrel and more than $209 billion in state revenues. The deal will combine Venezuelan oil resources and workforce with U.S. capital and technology.

Rodríguez said the agreement will create jobs, rebuild infrastructure and revive Venezuela’s sanctions-hit oil industry, while Caracas retains ownership and sovereignty over its resources.

❗️SHOCK: The Australian Financial Review just published this shocking hit piece against Zelensky and the massive corruption in Ukraine. Is the Australian media finally admitting the truth we have known all along?

"The crooks Zelensky once satirised look a lot like the friends he has in office today.

Australia should be willing to question the kind of system and standards its taxpayers are paying to defend.

That raises the risk that rogue elites are pocketing the money – or arms falling into the hands of terrorists. In one instance, former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari even alleged that weapons intended for the Ukrainian frontlines had turned up in Nigeria’s Lake Chad region.

If Wong is serious about the rule of law abroad, she should be more scrupulous about the oversight, reporting and auditing of aid out of Australia and push Kyiv to reform its corrupt ways, even if we don’t have the same leverage as America or Europe.

There are also reports of military personnel receiving illicit payments and inflated air defence and arms procurement contracts.

A $100 million kickback scheme involving energy reconstruction contracts siphoned funds directly away from protecting Ukraine’s power network against Russian bombardment. The alleged ringleader, Zelensky’s close associate Timur Mindich, absconded over the border at 2am in a luxury taxi before anti-corruption cops came knocking on his door. The scandal hit the economy hard and made ordinary Ukrainians’ lives even more wretched through the winter.

Demanding accountability proves we are serious about democratic institutions, values, and standards, and about the kind of Ukraine we want to see emerge from the war."
