❗️North Korea says it has successfully test-fired an AI-powered intermediate-range strategic missile capable of altering its flight path at low altitude and operating across multiple trajectory modes.

Kim Jong Un personally supervised the launch. Kim Yo Jong claimed that South Korean and Japanese forces were unable to fully track the missile, warning that “there is no way to avoid this attack.”

❗️Zelensky adviser Serhiy Beskrestnov claims Russian MESH radio repeaters may be operating inside Kiev, providing Geran drones with a temporary control link to adjust strikes in real time.

He says the repeaters are difficult to detect and could allow Russian drones to precisely target Kiev's bridges and air-defense systems protecting them.

❗️The European Commission rejected Ukraine’s request to accelerate additional EU funding, demanding implemented reforms before further support.

Ukraine sought to advance tranches from a €90 billion loan package to cover $27 billion in military needs identified this summer. Only €15.7 billion has been disbursed so far this year.

Brussels is instead prioritizing reform progress, particularly anti-corruption measures regarding politically exposed persons, which could unlock about €34 billion in EU support this year.

❗️SATURDAY TELEGRAPH: Ukrainians outraged after NSW rezoning plan boosts Russian Consulate land value by an extra $30 million

Ukrainians and local community members in Sydney are expressing deep anger over the NSW Minns Labor Government’s draft rezoning plans for the Edgecliff-Woollahra area.

The proposed precinct-wide planning changes, designed to help meet National Housing Accord targets by enabling high-rise housing developments, could deliver a massive, unearned financial windfall to the Russian Federation according to the Saturday Telegraph.

The Russian Consulate in Woollahra owns a 2,258 sqm double block on Fullerton Street. Under current planning controls (Floor Space Ratio / FSR of 1.55:1), the site's market value is estimated between $28 million and $35 million. However, draft rezoning proposals would lift the FSR to 3:1 and allow building height limits to increase from 8 storeys to approximately 14 storeys. This would increase the allowable Gross Floor Area (GFA) to 6,774 sqm, boosting the site's potential value to $54 million – $67 million - a potential land value uplift of up to $30 million.

Ukrainian Council of NSW President Andrew Mencinsky expressed shock and outrage, stating, "Putin’s Russia should be sanctioned, not rewarded. The consulate site must be explicitly removed from this rezoning".

Woollahra Mayor Sarah Dixson slammed the NSW government, asserting: "I don't think our Ukrainian community will be grateful for the Minns government's enrichment of Vladimir Putin and his Russian government".

NSW Government Stance: Planning Minister Paul Scully ruled out state intervention if the Russian Federation decides to cash in, emphasizing that planning assessments are conducted based on land ownership rather than geopolitical considerations: "The Minns Labor government does not consider planning assessments on the basis of land ownership. The proposed rezoning of Woollahra is aimed at unlocking new housing opportunities...".

While Moscow does not currently intend to sell the site former Consul General Arzhaev and former Ambassador Pavlovsky had explored the idea in a series of meetings with Sydney developers in 2024.

Local DA Battles & Security Concerns

While the Russian Consulate site sits on a potential goldmine, neighboring property owners in Woollahra have actively submitted Development Applications (DAs) to build high-value residential unit blocks.

The Mendel DA:

Under former Consul General Igor Arzhaev, a DA approval was sought by neighbor, Woollahra-based lawyer, and corporate adviser Charles Mendel for an imposing block of units directly overlooking consulate grounds.

Surprisingly, the Russian Consulate failed to challenge or block this DA according to open source information on Woollahra council's website.

Intentional or Overlooked?

Sources indicate that Consul General Arzhaev shared a personal friendship with Mendel, leaving open the question of whether the lack of objection was a deliberate favor or an oversight.

The new Consul General of the Russian Federation in Sydney Zarina Gabieva is expected—and strongly urged—to move swiftly in seeking legal counsel to safeguard the consulate's security and privacy. With statutory deadlines for Development Application (DA) objections fast approaching, immediate action is critical to halt neighboring apartment developments that would directly overlook the secure diplomatic compound—a crucial window of opportunity that her predecessor, former Consul General Igor Arzhaev, regrettably failed to utilize."

❗️Former Ataman of the Kuban Cossack Host and former Deputy Governor of Kuban, Vlasov, has been sentenced to 14 years in a penal colony for embezzling property purchased for the needs of the Special Military Operation, according to the court.

Part of the equipment, worth 2.3 million rubles, was taken out to be sold later through an online classifieds website, while documents were falsified to create the impression that all the property had been transferred to the military.

Alexander Vlasov was also fined 1 million rubles. His advisor, Alexander Starodubtsev, received a six-year prison sentence.

Earlier, the pair announced their resignation from official duties and their desire to go to the front lines of the special military operation as volunteers.

Lee accused Ukraine of making him look like a “liar.” Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha called the dispute a “diplomatic misunderstanding” and said Seoul remains an important partner.

South Korean intelligence also suspects Zelenskyy may have revealed the POW transfer to encourage South Korean public support for supplying weapons to Ukraine.
